Inrln?>*??w VII III I llltl IIIUUOll J For Farmers shipmentsTo" FROM MANY POINTS Farmers All Over This Section Will Send Dairy Products to The Plant In the interest of developing production of cream and turning shipments to Florence, G. A. Card well of Wilmington, N. C., agricultural and immigration agent of the Atlantic Coast Line; J. Frank Booth of Washington, D. C., district representative of the De Laval Separator Company, and B. S. Meks of Florence, commercial agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, have been conducting a series of meetings through this section and the lower edge of North Carolina. Arriving in Florence they reported very successful and ^fcterested meetings in Dillon and Rowland and meetings I scheduled for Marion^Mullins Conway and Loris. Special visits were made to the plant of the Colonial Creamery Company, which commenced operations this week. Preparatory to opening,! the plant is placing advertisements in nearly every paper in South Carolina and in several papers in North Carolina, announcing1 when shipments will he received. The News and Courier of Charleston last week carried the following editorial regardng the project and its value to this state at large: "Mother of Prosperity" Some weeks ago, in a letter to The The News and Courier discussing the plans of the Florence Creamery, M. W. Cartwright, after outlining the conditions under which the boll weevil can be fought successfully, s.^id: "Beyond question the economic solution of the 'concentrated diversification' is the high quality dairy cow, 'the mother of prosperity.' From her has sprung higher education, higher standards of living, better homes and improvements, more economic home life and sundry other advantages too numerous to mention." According to the Atlanta Constitution, Georgia, in its battle against the boll weevil, is already proving the truth of Mr. Cartwright's testimony. "The interest in dairying in Georgia," says The Constitution, "is not confined to any section of the state, but farmers everywhere are turning to it as a profitable and certain source of steady income." The Constitution quotes the Thorr?asville, Ga., Times-Enterprise to the effect that "on hundreds of farms 1^1. A i.1 i.1 -i. 99 scaneruu uiiou^n houiiiwchi, vieoik??? dairying1 "is proving the biggest thing that lias ever f)een tackled there." The Times-Enterprise tells why:] "When a dairy herd will take care of itself by the milk it yields, these isn't a farmer in the world," it says, "who will he averse to admitting that it is worth all that is put into it and then a lot more. Cattle of ,nny kind help, but the dairy,cattle not only pay for their keep day after day, but they add more to the land than money can buy." The Thomasville paper contends that "the cow will take care of herself, and she will eventually, in the extra profits from the land, pay for the farm." Advice as to how to heat the boll weevil is infinitely varied, but all doctors seem to agree that the dairy cow is the surest of money-makers where there is proper co-operation in the maintenance of a creamery. In hundreds of communities she has abundantly justified her claim to be known in the picturesque language of Mr. Cartwright, as "the mother of prosperity." PRINCE SALE" ON SATURDAY Readers must not forcret the sal^ of the stock and other property of Prince Rros., which will begin Gurley next Saturday morning at 11 o'clock in the forenoon. All of the stock of merchandise which Inventories more than two thousand dollars worth, and the third interest in ginnery, as well as the equity in the brick making plant, will all be sold to the highest bidders for- cash on that ddy, and if all of it is not disposed of on that date, the sales will be continued on the following Saturday until everything has been sold just as stated ir. the big advertisement appearing in this issue of the Herald. HIS FRUIT TREES" The farmer should never forcef tViA fruit trees in both summer and winter. In the summer he should try to push them forward in growth by proper attention and get as - much fruit from each tree as it will produce under favorable circumstances; while in the winter he should .attend to such things as pruning and getting fertilizer placed so that it will do the trees the most good the following season; and he must attend to such things as keeping the shoots free from insects. # <Thc WINBOURNE MILL BEING RUSHED /Work Will he Finished ant Mill in Operation by March or April The new buildings of the W. II YVinbourne Company, recently organized, occupy a large space on the waterfront extending from the Quattlebaum property, or rather the public street, southward to beyond the spol where the warehouses of the A. T Collins Company were formerly, lorn trSri The buildings are of wood and will be of ample size to take cave of the variety of work that will be done by the company. The dry kilns and other buildings which will be used in handling the various kinds of lumber are very conveniently located as they will face on ;-x. public street on one side rnd extend to the river front on the otliei side. Shipments will be easy to make here as things can be unloaded directly into the establishment, while on the other hand deliveries of Pwiished products can be made with ease upon wagons ov trucks along the public street which bounds the property on the westward sm'o. The location ? > also good as regards railroad facilities. 'lucre is a side track of the company. A force of hands are kept busy now e;ich day in the work of erecting the necessary buildings. None of the machinery has yet been installed, but it is understood that the buildings will oon be ready to receive the machinery. It is fully expected that the plant will be in operation some time between March and April. ^?o CANDY K ITCHEN IN NEAT STYLE George Pntsols * Greek Move?

After remaining in business there once before for .about one year he rented a building on Mair street and was at that location until this week he began remodelling the building in rear of the City hall, on which he holds a lease. TIip work was not quite finished a1 last accounts, but the show cases and otjier fixtures had been moved in and he was ready to go ahead in the making of sweets. The inside has been refiinshed witli beaver board and painted. The seams between the sheets of board are painted. New wiring has been done and the beaded ceiling overhead given s new coat of paint. The large caldron in which the sugars will be melted was installed last Monday. New paint will be added to the front- of the building and when all oi i this work has been finished George will have one of the neatest looking I candv stores in this section of the state. This is the same building where Buckly Bros, conducted a restauranl business for a number of years.

COLDFRAME CONSTRUCTION Clemson College, Jan. 12.?The coldframe should always accompany the hotbed, the plants being starter in the hotbed and then transplanter to the coldframe, and from there te the open ground whenever weathei conditions permit. The coldframe differs from the hotbed in onlv one re spect; it does not have the manure al the bottom of the bed to produce th< heat; oherwise the frame is constructed in exactly the same way as th< hotbed. Coldframes are sometimes coverec with heavy convas instead of glass Canvas is much cheaper than glasi and the frames are more easily han died when covered with canvas. How ever, the plants will not grow ofT s< rapidW in the canvas-covered frame but this, as a rule, is an advantage ii tavor of the canvas-covered frames according to the horticulturists. Th< chief trouble with the amateur gar dener is that he forces his plants to< rapidly. SMALL SAW MILLS A number of small saw mills ar< said to be in process of erecton, oi already running on full time, in var ious parts of Horry County.

BOLL WEEVIL IS VITAL PROBLEM I Concerns All of The Planters; of This Staple Money Crop PLOWING UNDER ALL OF PLANTS n Full Destruction of Plants KillMany* Weevils That Would Survive i The great destruction wrought by the cotton boll weevil this year has made the problem of its control a vital one to practically all cotton planters. Everywhere the question is heard, "What can be done to avoid this J loss next year?" I For many years prior to the development of poison-control measures tlie United States Department of Agriculture advocated fall destruction of cotton plants by burning1 or plowing under, as the most important step in controlling the boll weevil. It is still good practice as an auxiliary to con- ' trol by poison. Right Time to D.estroy Plants. The proper time for the destruction of the plants in the fall is whenever the weevilsVhave become so numerous that there is 110 prospect that any 1 more cotton will be made. It is an easy matter for any planter to deter- ! mine this point by an examination of a few plants in his field. Whenever it is found that all, or nearly all, of the 1 squares and some of the bolls are being punctured there is no hope for 1 producing any more cotton. The far- ! mer should then wait until the bolls already on the plants have opened and destruction should then take place immediately. \ By all means, if possible, destruction of plants should take place before 1 frost, but destruction after frost, though not nearly as efficacious as early destruction, should always be 1 practiced when it has not been pos- 1 siblc to remove the plants previously. The plants should be plowed under deeply, or completely destroyed by fire.- No sprout cotton should be left to furnish breeding places for the weevils. There are four principal rea- : sons why the process of fall destruc-?' tion should be practiced universally j ] by planting in infested regions: I T"??1- *! r? ?- ? - ' an uuBinit'iiuii iwcummenaea. First, fall destruction prevents ab- ! solutely the development of a multi- ] Lude of weevils which would otherwise j ' become adult within a* few weeks of the time of hibernation. The de-! struction of the immature stages of)! weevils in infested squares and bolls is accomplished, while the further growth of squares which may become 1 infested later is prevented. This stops materially the development of weevils which would normally hiber- i nate successfully, and by decreasing the number of weevils which will emerge in the spring the chances for ii sufcfcssful crop the following season are very greatly increased. . Second, a proper manipulation of the stalks will bring about the destruction of a great majofity of the weevils which are already adult. Third, it has been shown conclusively that the hulk of the weevils which survive the winter are tho^e which ( reach maturity late in the season. It , is evident that the weevils that pass ^ the winter and attack the crop of the , following season are among those de- , veloped latest in the fall and wh'.oh, in consequence of that fact, have not exhausted their vitality by depositing , eggs for any considerable length of i time. Fall destruction of the plants, ( increasing the length of the hibernat* ( ing period, reduces man^fol 1 the na, ber o* weevils in the fields thav. would ] otherwise emerge in the spring to damage the cotton. Pnnvfli plonrinrr of tinl.l in fhn fall makes it possible to practice fall . plowing1, which is not only Die proper ^ procedure in any system of cotton raising but also greatly facilitates the , early planting of the crop the follow- | ing spring. The ground becomes clean by this practice, so that but few places for shelter are left for the weevils, find various climatic conditions still further reduce the number of the survivors. Early Planting Beats the Weevils. The early planting of the crop next spring and the use of an early maturing variety are also strongly urged, i The fall destruction of plants will re- < duce the number of weevils which will 1 survive the winter. By getting the 1 cotton crop started early it is often j possible to get it well on the way to maturity before the few weevils sur- t viving the winter have time to propa gate to the point where they become t destructive. Destroy the cotton plants in the fall 1 and plant early the following spring.

The areas freed in the various stales comprise 21,227 square miles in TeVcas, 5,S73 in Georgia, 1,0-16 in Louisiana ( and 517 in North Carolina. The work of tick eradication is going forward successfully, it is said. In some j places, however, lack of local funds lias made it impossible to clean up j the pest sufficiently to warrant the lifting of the quarantine. This ac- ( 20unts for he requarantining of many localities under the new order. As the tick is driven from other infested ( Legions, the quarantine area will be further reduced. tobaccoYien AT?F.

Must be Rotumed Rerj '.rd 3ss | of T!"?c Am-'.nt of Fjet I Income TWO HARO NUTS EXPLAINED HERE Statement From Collectors Officef to Clear Two Difficult Points Tho following Ft tement is issued by Acting Collector of Internal Revenue W. R. Bradley of tho District of South Carolina: The Revenue Act of 1021 contains two new and important provisions which are the subject of frequent inquiry. The first relates to the personal exemption allowed marred persons. and the second to the provision requiring? that a return he made cf gross income of $5,000 or more. The act provides that a married person, living with husb.in.l or wife, whose net' income for 1021 was $5,000 or less shall he allowed a personal exep.ption of $2,500. If the net income of such person was over $5,000 the exemption is S3.000. Under the Revenue Act of 1018 the personal exemption allowed a married person was $2,000, regardless of the amount of net income. The norm.ul tax rate remains unchanged, 4 per cent on the first $4,000-of' net income above the exemptions and 8 per cent on the remaining" net income. In order that an income slightlyy in excess of $5,000 shall not be subjected to an inordinately dispropor ice tax because of the reduction of the exemption to $2,000 threeon; the law provides that such reduction shaH not operate to increase the tax, which would ho pay,able if the exemption were $2,500, by more than the amount of the net income in excess of $5,000. For example, on a net income of $5,010, the tax without this saving clause would he $120.40, which is 4 per cent on .$3,010, the amount of net income less .'in exemption of .$2,000. The actual tax is $110.40, computed as follows: From the net income'of $5,010 is deducted $2,500, leaving $2,") 10. the 4 per cent tax on which amounts "to $100,440. To this is added S10, "the amount of net income in excess of $5,000." The personal exemptions .allowed married persons apply also to the head of a family, a person who supports in one household one or more relatives by blood, marriage or adoption. Heretofore a person whose net income was less than his exemption (SI,000 if single, or $2,000 if married) was not required to file a return. Under the Revenue Act of 1921, if the gross income of an individual equalled or exceeded $5,000, or if the combined gross income of a married couple and that if dependent minor children equalled or exceeded $5,000, a return must be filed regardless of the amount of not income. "Net income" is gross income, less certain deductions. The fact that allowable deductions from gross income for business expenses, losses, had debts ,etc., may reduce the net income to an amount below the personal exemptions of $1,000 or $2,000, does not alter the requirement to file a return of gross income, if such gross income equalled or exceeded $5,00Q. SCHOOL BURNS, IS TOTAL LOSS Fire Catohos From Defective Flue in Poplar School House The school building at Poplar, just this side of Adrian post office, on the national highway, was burned to the ground last Wednesday afternoon while the teachers and pupils looked on with tears in their eyes. The Poplar school was conducted by two teachers, Miss Jones of Ay nor, and Miss Agnes Nichols. They had a fine school with a good average attendance and the pupils were being rapidly advanced into their work for this year, when the whole top of the school house was discovered to be in flames. The fire had caught from a defective Hue and nothing could be done to save the property. The school books and some of the furnishings of the building were saved. The fire started in the top, where it caught from ,a hole in the stove flue* This gave the pupils time to ^avo some of the furnishings and theu* broks. There was no insurance on the building. The fire occurred about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. o IRISH POTATOES The chances are that many farmers will try Irish potatoes this year as a money crop.
