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.

The automobile is a great thim

This county should have done lik

association, erected a curing hou
and now be in position to get gooi
money out of a big sweet potat
crop.

been a 'ot of veless talk in t!i
world. It lakes effort to talk and i
consumes nervous -energy that ofte

talk whether it is meant to be take
seriously or not.

of this State who did not rai?

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

the problem of meeting the boll wee

places where tho people \voi'o willinr;

sary sacrifices. While it was a seriij

which cMn he utilized and 'ho fsict
that little cotton can ho made should

following the war between the

j >ldei< citizens of the country had built
up a civilization through their sacri
ices and privations. The same kirn'

"The farmer must readjust his ag

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'

SCIENCE MAKING :
GREAT STRIDES
Clemson College,' Feb. 2.?The an- 1
mal meetings of the American Asso- <
nation for the Advancement of
Science and of many other scientific 2
societies for announcing the latest re 1
;ults of research were held during the 1
Christmas holiday week at Toronto. 1
Janada. 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

unexplainable way. They have

(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.

DISCUSS METHODS
TO DEFEAT WEEVIL
Darlington.?The government plan
of fighting the boll weevil by dusting
with calcium arsenate was presented
to Darlington county farmers recently
In- representatives from the delta
laboratory at T/illulah, La., and -by
member- of the soil improvement
committee staff from AtVuita. 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.
