When flic: caterpillars are on the
march or aic starting in on one corner
of a field of grain they may be
headed off by plowing; a deep furrow
directly in their path. Then the
insects that have fallen into the furrow
may be killed by dragging" a log
through it.
Early Discovery Essential.
Tiie importance of watchfulness 011
the part of the farmer ?i-.s a factor in
combating the army worm can not be
too greatly emphasized, say department
specialists. "Cipon the discovery
of the pest in its younger stages
depends very largely the possibility
of stamping out an "infestation before
serious injury to crops has occurred.
Meadows should be frequently examined
during the spring and early
summer months, particularly those
planted to timothy, blue grass, and
especially millet. The thicker and
lorgor the growth the greater the
danger from the army worm. The
grass or grain should be parted with '
the hands in various parts of the]
field and the lower portions of j
me growth dlosely examined in order
to discover the presence of the small,
gicenish caterpillars; anil if they
he found in-.any number the area covered
by the infestation should be doteimined
and vigorous action taken
at once to destroy the worms before
they become large enough to begin
their journey to other portions of the
farm.
In case Paris green is used care
should he exercised in preventing
stock from gaining- access to the poisoned
grass or grain and being injured
or killed by eating it. It is far
better to sacrifice a portion of the
crop, if the destruction of the post
can be accomplished thereby, because
if the army worms are not destroyed
they will take the crop anyway and
probably devastate other portions of
the farm.
Summary of Control Measures.
(1) Provide yourself with a spraying
apparatus and keep on hand several
pounds of some standard insecticide,
such as arsenate of load, arsenate
of zinc, or Paris green.
(2) Watch carefully the grass
growing among the cultivated field
crops in the bottom lands or in the
low places of the fields, and upon the
first indication of thci presence of
these caterpillars apply poison spray
as recommended in Farmers' Bulletin
731., a copy of which will be sent
free on application to the United
Suites Department of Agriculture.
(3) In case of a general invasion,
after the caterpillars have gone
down into the ground in? order to
change to the next stage, which ?s
the pupa, give the ground a light cultivation,
wherever this is possible.
This will cause the death of many ot
the army-worm pupae.
(4) When the caterpillars are on
the march, or are starting in on one
corner of a field of g-rain, head them
off by plowing a deep furrow directly
in front of them. Then kill the
larvae falling into this furrow by
dragging a log through it. Whore
the whole field is infested, plow a
furrow around it, so as to keep the
worms out of the surrounding fields.
Keep the furrows free from rubbish,
so that the larvae will have no
means of crossing to the farther si lo. i

j ((>) An immense amount of good
jean be accomplished in destroying
those worms by the use of a poisoned
bait which is scattered broadcast
over the infested fields. Take 00
pounds of bran and mix thoroughly
with it either 1 pound of Pans green
or crude arsenic; then add 2 gallons
of low-grade molasses diluted with
from 3 to 4 gallons of water ant I'6
finely chopped lemons. Tlus is especially
recommended for fields --containing
mixtures of grass and cow-1
peas, cawpcas and sorghum, or fields j
in which grass has been consumed by j
the caterpillars.
Do not pasture stock in fields
where the grass or other crops have
been sprayed with a poison mixture
until after heavy rains liave fallen,
and not before three weeks after ihe
application of the insecticide.

GROWN FRINGE GOES
BACK INTO GERMANY
Occasions a Stir in Peace
Conference
Circles.
Paris.?Frederick William Hohenzollern,
tht former German crov n
prince has escaped from Holland and
made his way into Germany.
News of the escape of the excrown
prince caused a considerable
stir in Peace Conference circles,
j While it is not felt that lie is a
j figure around which the reaction
! mu:-i anc. monarciusis wouui gamer
(enthusiastically, nevertheless, liis act
is regarded as an event of considorlablc
significance, in view of other
German recalcitrancy.
Hints have come from Germany
within the last few clays that the
military caste there would not ne
averse to bringing* about a military
situation within the former empire
that would embarrass the Allies 111
putting the peace treaty into effect,
and it seems not improbable that the;
move made by the ex-crown prince is
connected with some such plan.
The former crown prince made his
way into Holland shortly after the
signing of the armistice last November
and was interned there by the
Dutch government, taking up his
residence on the island of Wieringen,
on the Zuyder Zee.
Two days before the armistice was
signed, a decree issued by the German
imperiai chancellor, Prince Max
of Baden announcing a decision of
the former German emperor to abdicate,
stated:
"The Imperial chancellor will remain
in office until the questions crn
nected with the abdication of the
Kaiser, the renouncing by the crown
prince of the throne of the German
empire and of Prussia, and the setting
up of the regency have been
settled."
This generally was accepted by la*
public as an official announcement of
the crown prince's intention to renounce
his rights to the succession.
Denies Renounciation.
Pater, however, the crown pr'nr.o
denied any such intention in an interview
tfiven to the Associated Pre-a
correspondent. at Ooostovlnnd, Holland,
December M, "10 JR. At that ton
the crown prince said:
"I have not renounced rnythirr i

The ex-crown prince lias given
numerous interviews to various correspondents
since his arrival in Holland
and has complained in some instances
of having been misquoted. As
regards the Assocaited Press interview
mentioned, however, the correspondent
who obtained it holds an
autographed letter from the oxen
\vn prince in which the latter
states that in this interview he was
quoted correctly in every particular.
SOLDIERS SHOULD
KEEP DIS8HARGES
A few years hence only the soldiers
who have served in the great
United States army, will bo hunting
all around to find their discharge j
papers. At least this will be the
case with a great many of them who
do not now realize how highly prized
these papers will be as the years go
by, and are casting them aside as
just pieces of paper. It is stated that
already quite a large number of boys
have lost their discharges.
A total of 5,000 troops of the
Eighty-first Division have arrived at
Camp Jackson for demobilization.

HAS NEW CURE
FOR INFLUENZA
Doctor Charles H. Duncan, of
New York, Submits Proofs
to Allied Medical Ass'n.
New York.?Influenza and pneumonia
arc no more to be feared than
a boil on the back of the neck, according
to Dr. Charles H. Duncan,
one of the founders of the Volunteer
Hris;nil ?1 ?'Iia In ?? 1?t
-.-.J . ... . , .. Iiv/, til U I CUIVII Ut" IUIU
the convention of the A11 ie<I Medical
Association of America, described
his method of combatting Spanish
Influenza by means of immunizing
a patient, to his own poison. "Upon
241 patients ill with pneumonia an 1
influenza last winter," Dr. Duncan
said ne had used the treatment "with
cut a single fatality or any complications."
"13rifely," the physician said, 4 I
take one drachm of mucous from the
infected area and pasteurize it in one
ounce of filtered water where it remains
several hours. One cubic centin.etere
of this toxine, injected subcutaneous!
y, will of font a spontaneous
cu < of Spanish influenza, pneunu
ilia, catarrh or any similar localized
infevti mi. It will stop any cough,
oecpt UibcKu'o.'s, inside of 24
hour:;.,"
Duncan declared that his discovery
was based upon his observation of a
dog licking a se.rc paw. He said the
dig, b\ increasing germs of resist
ai ce ai iho plac of infection brougnt
about a natural hcali. g, and the
.v.*:Ibo'l b.c employed was similar in
ihat it increased the leucocytes or
white corpuscles of the? blood and
these in turn carried the poisons out
of the human system.
The doctor said he had been using
the method, which he calls "Autottheraphy"
for about ten years ami that
it war. now widely accepted by allopaths,
homeopaths and electric physicians
although it had been indorsed
by the American Medical Association.
T)r. Duncan said that by taking the
poison front a boil and subjecting it
to his process and injecting the sterilized
product into a patient's body
he not only cured him of the boil but
rendered him immune against a repetition
of such afflictions. Similar
results, he said, had been attained a
cases of mastoiditis, oz.ocma and certain
types of local vcncral diseases.

PEANUT-FED HOGS.
CI em son College.?A recent issue
of the Weekly News Notes pnntnin.
rcl an article on "Peanuts and Hogs"
showing results of experiments in
Alabama emphasizing especially the
fact that it is more economical to
sell peanuts thru hogs than by direct
sale of the nuts In discussing the
question of peanuts as a feed for
hogs, !>. W. Williams, of the animal
husbandry division of the Extension
Service expresses grave doubt as to
whether South Carolina farmers
should turn very largely to peanuts
as a hog feed.
"It is questionable whether it is
advisable to plant very many peanuts
for hogs this fall," says Mr. Wil
liams. "While hogs make very cheap
and rapid gains on this crop the carcasses
are greatly discriminated
against on the market. Soft drippy
pork is not desirable. At present
South; Carolina is producing hogs
that sell to better advantage than
j those from other southern states.
The .reason is that our hogs kill harcl
j as a rule. It is our advantage to
I continue marketing a superior product
that sells well toward the top of
the market rather than to get a reputation
for soft hogs and take a cut
in price which often amounts to
three or four cents per pound.
"Hogs will be marketed this fall
in carload lots from practically every
county in the state. Every farmer
should aim to provide at least one
or two surplus hogs for those shipments
in order to establish a hog
market in this state. Be sure to kill
enough to assure your home supply
of meat; then market the surplu .
In the future of diversified farming
in South Carolina the hog is one of
the most promising factors."
It is reported that the French army
demobilization will be carried out
with all possible speed after the
peace treaty is signed.
