H. WoodWard, Conway, S. C. THURSDAY FEB. 2, 1922. ACT IN TIME In the opinion of a numbei of tobacco men, this year will be bolter than last year as regards the prices I that will be paid for the product. "With the experience gained in past I years, the growers should be able to I produce a better grade of the bright leaf than is grown in this section of the country. Owing to the ravages of the bod weevil which had spread almost to to every -farm in Horry county in time tO destroy nearly all of the 1921 crop of cotton, farmers have become very much discouraged in regard to cotton as a money crop. It is possible to raise cotton notwithstanding the boll weevil, but it is] only to a limited extent even under the best conditions and hardest fight put up against him. There are ways of fighting the weevil, but they are all more or less costly. These facts will result in the planting of a larger acreage of tobacco this year. If there is a need for the largo crcp that >vil! 110 loubt bo produced, then we may depend upon receiving a fair price, at lea^t a bettor profit than we did last year. Whether this will last over into the next year, or even through the sales of the crop of 1922, is more than anyone can tell. \. T-. e i-V - 11 jii vu-w el uif inci'i asc m tne crop that will bo raised this year, tho movement for the erection of a good prize house at Conway should receive an aided impetus at once. Without the means of taking care of the crop the planters and buyers alike will suffer this coming tobacco season and vhere will be a corresponding loss in prices that may be paid. The co-operative marketing association has been signed up and is in process of organization to such an extent that it bids fair to becomc an established fact. They should b^ careful to take care ol this need that will face us when tho season opens next July. Being in its infancy, it may he impossible for the association to carry out its p'ans tc take care of the tobacco; and if this is to be the case, then the business men, and the warehouse mer especially should /try to get together and aid in providing the improvements. o Most of the money that should b: in circulation is kept hid away and i: not being used in paying debts. o The race is not to the swift, noi the battle to the strong. It, goes t( the one who i patient and keep everastingly at it. o Conway can grow by making it i good place to c at and sle p, arid ; place where hou.es are plentiful i.iu easy to rent. As (Jonway gr ws ino unuone that tend to corrupt high ;>tandaid of living, will be bound to incron;c and this must be fought as it come along. The meanest man of all is tli one who owes an honest debt am is able to pi'V it; but ho refuses an< uses the excuse of the tightness o money. o The kind of soil over which a roa< is built determines to a great exten the durability of the work, also th< cost of keeping the road in iroo< condition. o The automobile is a great thim useful purposes; but yet people wi; pleasure as well as for pr< fit. It i also being u ed by bootleggers t< run whiskey. o This county should have done lik they < i I t Marion. They shoul. have formed a sweet potato grower? association, erected a curing hou and now be in position to get gooi money out of a big sweet potat crop. o About one-half of what vou hea paid is not intended to 1>p tak n y. seriously meant. There has ahvay been a 'ot of veless talk in t!i world. It lakes effort to talk and i consumes nervous -energy that ofte might be put to better and mor useful purposes; bu yet people \vi talk whether it is meant to be take seriously or not. o Even i$ the face <>i' a ?ood ero year for food supplies, there ai farmer4* to be found in every seHi of this State who did not rai? enough supplies for home consumj tion. Their condition i : much woiv than the man who failed on his t' bacco or cotton crops, but rais< plenty of corn, meat, and sweet p< tatoes, and plenty of feed for h horses, cattle and hogs. ASKS FARMERS j TO COOPERATE J 1 Plans for Taking Over Prod- j ucts Association Are 1 Well Received 1 s Walterboro.?The first two meetings in the campaign to organize the farmers of Colleton county into a co- ( operative marketing association were c held yesterday at Lodge ,nnd Smoaks j ^ in the upper part of the county. At j both these frieetings, despite the in- c clement weather, large crowds of rep- r resentative farmers were present to j. hoar tho addresses and to learn of s (lie proposed organization. The plan o was ^favorably received and unanimously accepted. Delegates to.'icon- a tral mee'ing to be held at Walterboro ? on Tuesday. January 31, were chosen :!ml resolutions adopted calling upon c tlx' bankers and the Colleton delega- . tion to provide the necessary funds 1 for paying the manager of the organization, so that whatever prices ( may be received by the farmers for K products marketed should be theirs entirely with no deductions for expenses. There was some doubt in the minds of the promoters of this county-wide ' organization that perhaps it would \ not meet with the reception wliioh it 1 merited, but that feeling has been 1 dispelled by the enthusiastic reception * the idea as presented by | r>r. W. W. Long, in charge of the extension forces, in addresses at Lodge c and Smo.aks. Tt will be recalled that the Colic- * ton Products Association, which was organized two years atro with a proposed canit^l stock of $100,000, of ( which $HO.OOO was subscribed and 1 paid in. had erected a grain elevator atWalterhoro and .a chain of sweet liotato curing houses over the county ( as well a^ a grinding plant at Walter- 1 haro and loading pens. These were | not supported with the liberality which would make their operation a financial success, and as tho promoters were actuated with a idesire to : nrovide a ready market for what tho farmers might produce, it was decided at a meeting of the stockholders held recently to turn the plant over to the farmers of the county free of * charge, provided they organize a cooperative marketing association to use them. This the farmers at a m.ass meeting at the court house decided to accept, and the pvesont cam ? ? ~/v~* 4 ~ "c.?ll?? nrn PillU'n IS <111 tHflJIl/ u? vi iv> ?/. ?

TTe said tlvt the problem of meeting the boll wee ' vi! successfully was a serious one but s it had been done in a number of places where tho people \voi'o willinr; to co-operate and undergo tho necese sary sacrifices. While it was a seriij ous problem for tho people of coastal 1 South Carolina, it was not a hopeless f fight. for there .are many agencies which cMn he utilized and 'ho fsict that little cotton can ho made should I not mean di rster. He said that conditions following the war between the ' states were f^r more serious, and the j >ldei< citizens of the country had built up a civilization through their sacri ices and privations. The same kirn' >f sacrifices and privations will h'\vc to he made again. We must practice economies and thrift, in which th' oung people will have a pnrt. The r> mist learn not to spend so mucl Money and aid in the practice of econ omy. "The farmer must readjust his ag I ricultural program and plant new . crops," said the speaker. "And o.account of the kind of labor whirl rj prevails in the South these crop, must he as nearly 'fool proof as pos sible." He said that some cotton will continue to he grown, but only a fev acres per plow, not more than foi^ or five, should be planted. Thir should be done according to boll wee s" vil conditions. The stalks of the pre vious year should be destroyed a' soon as the crop is gathered and th^ r* next crop planted as early as possible 'f in either Cleveland Big Holl or Web'' ber No. 40. Put all fertilizers unde^ n the cotton and use no top or side dressing applications. Pick up square and catch the cany weevns. n i feared |the poisoning of the weevi was too much in the experiments' r stage, but this would in time he so to developed that the farmers might use > ooison successfully. He advised plant v. np; of po nut', soy beans, sv/cot po toes and hogs as "fool proof" crop id o bo.'t the weevil. o- Turning to the co-operative market is ng proposition, Dr. Long stressed th< importance of the farmers being or THE HORBY HERALD, GONV ram*zed, not for profit, not for arbi- 1 rarily fixing high prices for farn c rrops, but in order that the farmc i nay get a reasonable profit on his abor.

A great many important idvances in knowledge were anlounced, among which the following, >f special importance to South Caro- < ina farmers, are given by Dr. C. A. , Ludwig, associate plant pathologist i jf Clemson College, who attended the J neetings. (1) A report on some investiga- i tions concerning the function of cal- 1 ;ium (lime) in plants. It was stated that calcium is necessary not only because it is an inseparable part of the living matter, or protoplasm, but also because it renders the plant able to take up the other pi,ant food substances from the soil. If lime is lack- ( ing in the soil, plants suffer not only for lime but for certain other things j as well, although the other things | may be present in abundance. A sufficient quantity of lime in the soil is thus seen to be of double importance. ( (2) An announcement of the discovery of a strain of rye which is resistant to leaf rust. If desirable in other ways this strain should prove of value in this part of the country as the leaf rust is very common here. ( (3) A report on tests of the "dry" method of formaldehyde treatment for oats smut. This method, which was found to be satisfactory, is some- , what more convenient than the "wet" method because it is not necessary after treatment to dry the oats before planting. Directions for treating oats by this method can be secured from the botany division. (4) An announcement that there are large numbers of spores of many kinds of fungi in the upper air. The in vesti orations were made bv ascend ing in an airplane and exposing small vaseline-smeared glass plates at different altitudes and later counting the spores which struck to the vaseline. Some of the records were fo heights .as great as 15,000 feet. The J 4 tXPECTAN' Prepared for B DO YOU know that thous suffer at child-birth?

(5) An announcement of experinental results which indicate that otton wilt is often transmitted in he seed. In view of this circumstance it seems likely that the first appearance of wilt in a locality is )ften due to seed purchased from the mtside. Anyone who is raising a first class strain of cotton will run less danger of introducing this disease by selecting seed very carefully from his own crop than by securing )ther seed. Moreover, this holds true for many other crops as well. It will pay better usually to select seed at home (if it is carefully done) thru to buy, but it must be carotinly uone. HIE EFFICIENCY OF THE COW ' Manuscripts for two bulletins have; just been prepared by J. C. McDowell . of the dairy division. One of them tleals with the relationship between the quantity of milk produced by lairy cows and the income over cost of feed and shows that as production L>oes up the efliciency of the cow increases at a more rapid rate. The other manuscript has to do with the elfect of the season of freshening on the yield of dairy cows.

The meeting was held ill the county court house and despite the intensely cold weather prevailing approximately 100 leading farmers attended. Bright Willi'imson presided. A. H. Ward, county agent, and J. M. Napier arranged for the meeting and were responsible for its success. Much interest was manifested in the method advocated, because a few farmers in this section suffered from the plant louse where they dusted with calcium arsenate. It was explained that the federaj department of agriculture is now at work on this problem. Many questions were put to the speakers. On the prog-ram were J. N. Harper, .1. O. Taylor, F. H. Jeter and David I). Long. At the suggestion of Mr. Ward a rising vote of thinks was tendered the party for presenting the subjects discussed. O Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
