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.

EST IONS AND ANSWERS

With Farmers.
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. >

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.

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.

THE HORRY HERALD, COM
GOLD FLOOD IN
UNITED STATES
Probably Greater Supply in
This Country Than Ever
Before.
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

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*

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

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 <

the entire course and was accompanied

that we boarded the train and
listened for the last time to the enthusiastic
club yells, which, as station

less vociferous.
The work in this county is characterized
by great interest and cooperation.
