This moss is carefully exam-j
in and tho nunvior of woovds both

npute tho ratio of both Hvo and

BIRTHDAY PARTY
M iss Leila Burroughs, the young
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Burroughs,
entertained many young
friends at a party on Washington's
birthday. It was the 13th birthday
of the hostess. The guests arrived
at 4:30 o'clock and remained until 0
o'clock. Games were played on the
grounds. A most interesting game
was the hunting of red, blue and white
hatchets, vivid reminders of the incident
in the life of the "Father of
his country." The hatchets were hidden
in various places in the living
room. The contest was to determine
which one could find the most
hatchets. The hatchets numbered
several dozen. Miss Beatrice Ambrose
was the winner in this contest.
Thirteen of tne guests were equally
successful in another contest and the
winner was determined by drawing
straws. Miss Ambrose was again the
lucky one.
Refreshments were served after the
contest was over. The guests were
Elva Lewis, Annie Wait Scarborough,
Elizabeth Ward, Esther Gordon, Laura

Mary Thomason, Kittio Boll Nornvui.

RKSOLUTIONS OF RKSPECT
Whereas, Clod in His infinite wisdom,
hath seen fit to remove from
us a highly esteemed and very worthy
member of our class, Rro. J. Monroe
Johnson, who passed into the
groat beyond early Wednesday morning,
last; and
Whereas, because of the constant
friendly and faithful life which he
lived among* us and his simple, unpretentious
goodness of character, oui
hearts warmly turn to him in loving
remembrance.
Therefore, be it resolved, first, that
we bow humbly and reverently to the
will of Him above who can give life
as well as take it away. Second, that
in the passing of Rro. Johnson the
Annex Bible Class of the Conway
Baptist Sunday School has lost one
of its best loved and most worthy
members, who commanded the respect
and the confidence of all who know
him. Third, that in our loss we express
our love and sympathy for the
bereaved family, .and especially for
his widow and children. Fourth, that
a copy of these resolutions be recorded
in our minutes in honor of the
memory of our deceased brother,
'hat a copy be sent to the family and

QUESTIONS AND A NSW MRS
From Specialists' Correspondence
With Farmers.
Why do my cowpeas make vines
but not do produce peas??I. R. B..
llhems.
The most probable explanation is
that your land is too rich in nitrogen,
as soil in a high state of cultivation
rarely makes good cowpea seed.
There , is no. seed treatment which
will make them produce. The one
thing which will help you is to apply
acid phosphate, which tends te
balance the fertility of your soil and
to help in seed production.
I am thinking of using some land
plaster. Which is better, land plaster
or lime??J. R. C. Varnville.
If you are thinking of buying land
nlast.er. mv :idviro would bo In mil
your money in the collection plate
next Sunday and you will be better
off, because you will be saved the
trouble of applying the land plaster.
Land plaster does not correct soil
acidity and furthermore is not needed
because we apply a great deal of
land piaster to our soil every year in
the form of acid phosphate, which is
approximately one-half land plaster.
If your soil needs lime, use lime, by
all means, and not land piaster.
At what stage of the fruit of
nearh is it ready for the fir t spra\
and with what??J. (i. K., Kingsburg.
W hen three-fourths of the shucks

My cows have sores on the udder
and teats. Please tell what the trouble
is and send treatment.?J. 1?. S.
The dise'ase you describe is cow
pox. This disease does not cause
doath. You may use the milk from
, the affected .animals. Wash the teats
> and udder after each milking1 with
one percent solution of sodium hyposulphite.
Do not irritate the ulcers
during milking.
My cow's feet are sore between the
claws; please advise treatment.?

' t This cotton has no value; in fact.
| it is inferior to white cotton in every
way. It belongs to no particular
variety. It sometimes arises as a

of white cotton. The best you could

MONEY CROP
IN THE MAKING
Some real progress has been made
by a few enthusiasts in having curing
and storage houses built in the
Southern,states, in which to save the
delicious, sugary Nancy Hall and Porto
Kico sweet potatoes for the late
winter r.nd early spring markets.
Sweet potato storage is no longer
an experiment, it is a decided success.
It not only saves most of the potatoes
processed, but improves the eating
quality of the potatoes, and they can
be kept for several months longer
than can those potatoes placed in
earthen banks for keeping; and after
removal from the storage house they
can be transported in good condition
for long distances if necessary. Some
experimental shipments have been
successfully made to London, England,
and to Honolulu, Hawaiian Isl
anas.
Much more progress has been mude
in saving1 sweet potatoes than in marketing
those saved, as most of the
agencies interested in marketing the
potatoes have somewhat naturally
looked to the great market centers of
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
for a market. But these densely
populated places and those cities
and towns in the surrounding country
are well supplied with dry potatoes,
known as the Jersey variety, which
are largely grown in Now Jersey,
Delaware. Maryland, Pennsylvania.
West Virginia, eastern shore of Virginia
and extreme northeast north
Carolina.
In the cities mentioned ahove the
Carolinas and the other Southern
states producing the moist varieties
of sweet potatoes will for some years
to come have great difficulty in even
getting a chance to compete with the
nresent popular Jersey potato, (popular
with the dealer who has his connections
already formed, and also
with these consumers who are unfamiliar
with a better potato) but,
eventually, tli? Nancy Hall and Porto
Pico will not only gain favor, but
will, 1 believe, capture these markets,
as quality will tell in the long run.
In the meantime what are we going
to do? Are we going to stop the
building of storage houses which are
saving a fearful economic waste?
Are we going to let those potatoes
already stored rot in the houses as
we have permitted the crop for years
to rot in earthen banks? Does the
South need new money crops to fill
the gap, due to losses caused by the
cotton boll weevil?
1 know we are going to continue
building houses and I believe we can

of the smuggling of human beings
into the United States is that
there evidently is no punishment for
the otTense. The 3 per cent immigration
law lacks teeth, probably because
it never occurred to the framers
of the act that European emigrants
would try to enter the United
States by other than conventional
methods.
If the wise men in Washington hi d
remembered what happened after the
4 n?
ifiuneKe were legally exclided they
might have established a neaalty for
violations of the 3 per cent law.
Chinese have been smuggled into tl e
United States through either Canada
or Mexico ever since the Geary Act
became efTective. The smugglers
brought the coolies across the Great
Lakes for $100 a head and the supply
of laundry men in this country
w/is regularly augmented.
The Italians, Polish Jews and ether
Europeans who are legally barred
from entrance because of their immigration
quota is exhausted have
ambitions at least equal to those of
the Chinese. Some of them with rich
relatives in the United States .are able
to pay five times as much as the old
1 cost of smuggling a Chinese. The
operation of getting them into America
is more difficult but not more hazardous.
Once they are in any <.r the
Caribbean islands adjacent to Honda
the t.a<k of "dummy running" is easy.
The worst the Federal authorities c;:n
do to the undesired a'.en i> to send
him back to the place he came from.
The worst they can do to the smuggler
is nothing unless iK* Ikm been
unwise enough to try to bring in jum
as well as contraband immigrants.?
