EXTREME PREJI DICE Prejudice is certainly extreme in its kind when it goes so far as to make a man refuse benefits, which are as good as any, and still unacceptable because the funds may have i?etn made from tobacco. We have known men to do this. We have heard of some people who have never planted an acre of tobacco; their neighbors have been pushed up for help and offered big wages for work in the tobacco fields, and the work remained undone because of the unreasonable prejudice against tobacco. In a meeting not long ago an elderly sister got up in experience meeting and said that during the year before when her husband was badly in need of help with tobacco and it looked like the whole crop would be lost by the rains unless something was done, she had helped for an hour or two in the work; but if the good Lord would forgive her .for that little bit, she would never be caught at it again. Of course her work in the tobacco patch hurt her no more than her work 111 some other crop would have done, and of course she did not have to learn to use the weed even if she did have to help work with it. Her statement shows a prejudice deeper than usual, but there are many who entertain such feelings. It is well to preach temperance in all things, but we do not like the way of forgetting about temperance and allowing prejudice to condemn a thing utterly when it should not be. Anyone who indulges too much in any of the pleasures of life commits a sin. This is the one reasonable basis on which lectures, sermons and written articles should be based. No other way will appeal to the intelligence of the people who hear and read. They can see some sense in statements of that kind; they can see none in the other. By common consent in this part of the country the tobacco industry is a good thing. It is only the few who, by condemning its use, would convey the impression that they must be opposed to it as an industry. In no other way could they prevent the use of it and carry out their views in regard to it. In Horry county, and in other counties of this state, the people have been in much better financial condition than in the coton raising sections, all on account of Tuiving made good money from their tobacco crops. o All over Horry county can be found patches of young tobacco that is look ing green and holding forth the promise of at least an average ci\>p. Prices are not likely to be high, but then perhaps the prices of other things will be low, and it will not be so bad. This section did not have as large an Irish potato crop a* usual and the frosts cut off even what it did have. It is not the length of a man's schooling that counts in the race of life, but what he learns during his course. It is what lie lcacns that does him good and not what lu* had expected to learn. o All of us appreciate any improvement that is made in our community. Then remember that most of this must come from Iho individual effort of the people who live in it, and be sure to put nothing in the way of advancement ol others. The other man's gain will also help you if you will let it. o? ? Before long we suppose that Aynor will reach the stage when a newspaper wi'l be demanded. The town has been growing and now the Horry Industrial School is going up there. In the course of time Horry county will have several large towns in ii. This means an increase of business for all. o The business man who would succeed intends to do business, no matter what the financial condition mav ho. Watch the succcessful men of this country while the recent financial .stringency and alleged general hard times Were all the talk. They went straight ?hqad uKthput faltering and kept their goal always in view. They are .still doing well as you sec. o Other men will pay attention to what the other fellow says provided they do not believe he is prejudiced. If he holds some unreasonable prejudice the others will not listen and we do not blame them. o We all know that it takes time to build a town. This does not prevent our doing tho very best possible with time as it goes along. o ? Rub-My-Tism is a great pain killer.

What do you think of the possibilities for growing celery in this section? S. C., Estill. We believe you can grow celery in your section of the state provided the land is well adapted to its growth. Celery requires a well drained, rich soil that is well supplied with humus, and that does not bake after a rain. The seed should be sown in Feburary. The Giant Pascial, Winter Queen, and Perfected Hart well are probably some of the best varieties to grow for winter usp when the stems are to be blanched by soil. It is too late for you to grow your own celery plants for this season. > My chickens have white scales on the combs and Kills; please tell me what to do for them.?C. J. Make an ointment of 5 parts of flour of sulphur and 9f> parts of vaseline and apply once a day to the affected parts. I have several hens affected with scaly legs; please tell nie what to do. ?a J. So;'.k the parts with soapy water till the scabs can be removed and then apply a 3 per cent solution of creolin, applied warm with a scrub-) bing brush. Clean and disinfect premises with a 5 per cent solution of creolin. What is the feeding value of corn cobs and will it pay to have corn and cobs crushed together??J. A. G. Wilington. It depends a great deal upon the kind of roughage which you have to feed with your concentrates and also the class of livestock to which it is fed. Stockmen generally report favorably on coin cob meal for cattle and horses. For dairy cows, when very bulky concentrates are fed, it is advisable not to use the corn cob meal. For hogs I would not advise feeding corm and cob meal, for the digestive system of the hogs is not prepared to handle this troughage which is so high in crude fiber. Under no condition would I feed corn cobs to hogs. BOLL WEEVIL CROP DAMAGE Clemson College.?"Boll weevils are in my cotton in great number. Would you advise me to plow up the cotton and plant some other crop?" This is a question being asked by hundreds of South Carolina farmers in the infested counties of the state, says Prof. A. F. Conradi, chief of the entomology division, who says that advice from any source concerning this matter is not dependable, for there is no man who can tell in advance whether or not it would be wise to plow up cotton and plant other crops on account of boll weevil : infestation. The cotton boll weevil is an insect whose activities depend on weather conditions. If the weather in June and July is comparatively warm and dry, we may expect to make a cotton crop as far as the boll weevil is concerned. In other words, abundance of weevils at this section of the year is no indication of the loss that may be expected, for the reason that so far the weevil has had every advantage and the cotton every disadvantage. On the other hand, if June and July are comparatively wet, we may expect severe loss from the boll weevil. It must bo remembered that the average South Carolina weather conditions, especially in the southern half of the state, are very favorable to weevil development. During 1020 experiments in poisonimr t hnll !>? J A l?. ( ^ VIA v?- / v I ?i V-V. ? I I III VIl'Wl ^ l(l| I Cl" l>uma and Louisiana showed gain, notwithstanding the average weather conditions. Experimental work in South Carolina showed no eain, out it must ho remembered that weather conditions were decidedly adverse to poisoning. Until poisoning has reached a more certain and 'Tool proof" stage, cotton growing under boll \vee\ii conditions will continue to oe a gamble. A sound policy, therefore, demands that every firmer grow his food and feed and raise cotton only as a surplus cash crop. Kvcry cotton farmer in the infested territory should read most carefully Circular 1(12 of the United States Department of Agriculture, which is a very brief and definite discussion of the subject of poisoning the weevil. It is useless for anybody to claim that they care not for public sentiment; for it is a great power and all men have to respect it in one way or another. GLOHE-WHRNICK K BRANCH.

The flood of gold into the United States, which ebbed somewhat after reaching: its peak in 1917, has set in again and there is now probably a greater supply of this precious metal in the country than at any other time in its history. This flow and what the present stock of gold in the United States means in terms of the world supply is the subject of a bulletin issued from the Wasington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society. Gold, the aristocrat of metals, is truly cosmopolitan says the bulletin, and is found to a greater or less extent in every part of the world from near the equator in Africa, Peru and Borneo to the frozen ground of Alaska, Finland and Siberia. Since the beginning* of history and doubtless long before any records were made uold has largely typified "the world's desire," and it is the only substance which has been received by all races and peoples in exchange for other property and j services. It was in truth, therefore, long before legislation by practical!y every civilized country made it formally so, the world's standard of \ alue. In tho oarlv months of 1921, {.roM reached the United States fro'" about 'H) different countries. Much, of this gold doubtless originated in the United States, and there wan among it no doubt metal from practically every source of gold known to the world. For the gold of the world constitutes practically a single stock held temporarily in many reservoirs; and as exchange rates and j other economic and financial conditions change, it flows freely back and forth and across along trade routes, weaving a veritable golden web tying the nations together. It is not at all improbable that some of the gold that is - pouring in on the shores of the United States first left this hemisphere in Spanish galleons after it was torn from the temples of the Incas by the Spanish Conquistadors. Another part may have rested once in the treasuries of the Great Moguls; while beside it is gold fresh from the (mines of Australia, the Klondike, op the Rand. For aside from that which is absorbed in the arts or is lost or used in industry, practically all gold these days finds its way to the post of the assayer and goes t make up pawns in the world's trade. Of what may be called the relatively common metals, fairly clos> estimates of the quantity in existence can be made probably only for gold and silver. Even for these two metals satisfactory estimates of production can be made only for the period since the discovery of America. There is nothing on which to < base an idea of the gold produced be- ( fore 1492, but it is safe to assume t that because of the few sources and 1 . l the primitive mining methods tne 1 ouantity in treasuries and circula tion at that time was but a small ( fraction of the quantity since pro- i duced. : Nearly 30,000 Tons of Gold. ] Since Columbus landed in America, according to statistics assembled by the driector of the mint, the world production of gold tlwough ( 1919 amounted to more than threequarters of a billion Troy ounces. The estimated amount is the equiva- i lent of 29.448.92 tons of the nreciou- ] metal, occupying 49,100.85 cubic feci ( and worth more than seventeen and ( three-quarters billions of dollars. This tremendous volume of gold oust be measured by a Merger unit than the gold dollar if its magnitude is to be appreciated. If gold ( were cast in gigantic "dollars" on foot thick and having a diameter of approximately 18 feet 9 inches, each ( i would weigh 105.85 Ions and would be worth $100,000,000. The world gold production since 1492 would make 177 such "dollars" and leave more than half enough for another. If stacked, therefore, t'lese gargantuan coins would form a tower 18 feet 9 inches in diameter, more than 177 feet high. Since 1905 the average annual world production would have added about four and ; KV*f of these "dollars" to the stack each year, but in 1918 and 1919. th 'at.est two years for which statistic* 'ire complete, the output would ' ave made less than four of th" $.t00,0w);000 pieces each year. If the world production of gold since 1492 were made into a curb ix niches high and six inches thick it would extend for more than 37 miles, practically the distance be tween Washington find Baltimore. It' ; spread into a paving surface half an inch thick the same gold would pavr an automobile roadway 20 feet wide and slightly over 11 miles long. Not all the gold produced since the discovery of America is available Much has been used, desrtoyed o: I lost, and much in thr form of jewe?~ J ry or plate is out of circulation and * 1 - 1 1 - A J- Mil _ 1 A. not in mo treasuries. i nn ijpm available estimate of the gold in circulation and in treasuries places the amount at $0,000,000,000, or enough to make 90 of tho foot-thick "dollars." Just about a third of this world treasure is now in the United 1 States, and this is not far below the i amount that has been yielded by the mines of the United States.

One of the most interesting Shor* courses that I have ever attended was the one in Horry County, ?South Carolina, May 25-27, which was held under the direction of Miss Holer. Thomas, the county home demonstration agent. Great credit is due her for the efficient manner in whicn every thing was organized. Through the courtesy of Mr. J. E. Bryan, manager of the Myrtle Beach Hotel, the hotel Annex wav turned over to Miss Thomas fov use during the course. This was \ an ideal place for a camp; the rooms were furnished with electric liglv | and running water, the beach was! very convenient. One of the most enjoyable features of the occasion was the surf bathing which was en | joyed by every one present. Miss Thomas invited the Florence j County Agent to attend with hci < club members, so Miss Anne Moorx of Florence County was present for the entire course and was accompanied by nine of her club members who I I . % '1 ?JPIV iw f rii mini. ft utMwiiNir.xqL.. * t ,(0 ' \f!fa Tim^ 1 L^a?ll& JLiilLW M sed^Q per? ast woard in Ctus 5est word, in.

A splendid program of work har! jeen arranged for the remainder oP )f the time which included instruction in gardening, poultry, canning ind stencilling. About sixty people were present it the camp. The food was furnished by the club members, prepared under the direction of the Home Den: onstration Agent and served cafeteria style. Among others who assisted Miss Thomas in making this course so successful were Mrs. Minnie Doar, County Agent for Georgetown, Miss iv-sie ucrnam, rormeny demonstration Agent in Horry county, ami IV'r.

It was with real regret that we boarded the train and listened for the last time to the enthusiastic club yells, which, as station after station was passed, grew less vociferous. The work in this county is characterized by great interest and cooperation. The splendid results which are bring obained in South Carolina are due in a large amount to the constructive program of work which has been planned by our State Home Demonstration Agent, Mi ss Christine South.
