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.

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.

George Patpalos, the Greek candv
maker, has moved bnck'to Hie building
in rear of the City Hall, where
he ha? conducted once before one ol
the host candy kitchens ever located
in Conway. 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.
George came here at about the same
time that James Pappas, anothei

He has actod square with those witl"

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. This ii
a good thing, for it will furnish em
ployment to those who have no farn
work to do and will gve a ready sup
ply of lumber and scantling for th<
farmers to use in making repairs or
their premises.

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. J

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.
