THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1922 $ THE OTHER'S BUSINESS | * * Some men have no business of their own that will take up all their time, so they will insist on taking1 up a part or all of their time in looking after the business of somebody else. Some of them got into trouble pretty soon while trying to do this, others have learned the slick ways that it takes to do any amount of damage by interfering or meddling with the affairs of others and never get caught; some can go so far as to lay the blame for trouble entirely on other causes instead of upon their own secret acts, which they have succeeded in cloaking so that those acts could not be known. There are various ways of bothering with the other fellow's affairs. One way ,is to go round behind the back of the other man and tell things about his business that are untrue. This is the most common form of attending to the other man's business. One cause of some of this kind of inreferring is jealousy. One man succeeds better than another at some business or calling, and the one who is left behind delights in going about secretly and talking about tlie other in ways that are derogatory. One plan is to say the little sarcastic tliinorc that mnnn nnf li In ?> in ? ??> vt 1 _ ovum i iwu..ih in |/ui uvu lar, but which carry a hidden signification that strikes good soil very often to make others do .as lie would have and takes root and prows. There is another kind of this meddling that comes from the man who sets himself up as tho keeper of the morals of others. In nine cases out t>f ten he is really no better than the rest of humanity, but lie is fed up with the idea that he is; that he alone knows what is right and what is wrong and that ho must enforce the rules which ho would lay down for himself upon all mankind if ho possibly can. Ho is tho kind of man who will watch the actions of others to try to find something that is contrary to the statute laws, something that is morally wrong if not an actual violation of some statute of the state or ordinance of some town or city. He is by far the worst kind of meddler for he never does any good by his efforts at moralizing others, only causes a sense of contempt and littleness to arise in the estimation of others. Those others will not try to emulate him by reason of their contempt for his methods and his trying to make them believe as he does against their own judgment. The best way in this world to lead others is by example. In driving sheep it has boon learned that one will follow the others, not by force, lvtt4 i?aiioam /\C < Kn m t\ln m iwl NUl I i \ I Ul IIIU V. Afllll |M1 (4 I 1*1 leadership. The man who has the most influence o'"?r others is the one who tries to live his own life in ways that are beyond question and suspicion. When a man lias lived his life in a way which others mij'ht follow safely he has really done what wo believe is the best thin<r ho could have done for others. The man who tries to make others do as he would have them to do finds himself up against a stone wall and it i> useless for him to butt his head against it and he bruised for no purpose. -v- -X- -Jf -X- * -X- -X- * >:- -X- * X- -X- X- -X- -X- -X- -X- -X- -X- -X- * -x- * -x jljc ^ % EDITORIAL IT K.MS % * -x- -x- -x- -x- -x- -x- -x- * -x- * x- -x- * -x- * * -x- -x- * -x- -x- -x- -x- >: Recently cotton went to 20 cents and it was the best time to sell, in the opinion of many cotton men. This section of the country is bound to come out of the kinks. It is on the way now. Conway will take on ;t new growth at a verv enrlv <1 :tr? Kvorv indifa lion points that way. o We try and try and yef we may not succeed, and yet wo must try and try again if we would finally succeed. Myrtle Beach will have a better season this year than last. IOach season promises to bring bigger success than the last. o The coming of good dirt roads to this section of the country will result sometime in bringing additional railroads. Thus one good thing brings another. o Some of the farmers have not a lock of cotton planted, yet they have cotton to sell, cotton that was raised in past years when the boll weevil? had not come to this part of the country. When the entire seacoast of Horr\ becomes one vast summer resort which it is bound to do in the course of time, you will see Conway a much lancer town than it is today and lund values as hiprh or higher tlvm they were during the time of the war. I ? Those who bought land when the price was so high must hold it now and keep it otf the market. If they can afVord to wait they will pet their money's worth one day. If they sell now they have lost at least one-half of what they paid for the property. o Favors that are bestowed willingly ;re the ones that are appreciated. Those given grudgingly are not valued as being worth anything no matter how much they may have cost the giver of them. o The man who expects to succeed must learn the habit of .accuracy. He must go to the bottom of things. The superficial never goes beneath the surface of anything. It never knows anything of real worth and can never .vet away from the surface where it hangs up to stay. o The man who never fails to cross the boundary line of what is positively .euuired in serving others never knows what satisfaction is. The man who gives good measure, packed down and running over in the service of others who depend on him has tho satisfaction ot' knowing and feeling that he has done more than was required of him. o HA HIT FOKMIM; The following rules are grounded in the laws of habit forming: 1.

Late poisoning is likely to hurt the farmer i more than it hurts the weevil, and the only way to be sure of getting an "even break" with the weevil is to be supplied in advance with caicium arsenate and dusting machinery. "We find every year," *ays B. It. Coad, director of the department's boll weevil laboratory, "that ninnv farmers fail to realize their danger early enough and then start making desperate efforts to poison after the infestation has become very heavy. They scurry around trying to get calcium arsenate and dusting machinery, and nearly always there is considerable delay. Even when they get the poison and the machinery it is extremely difficult to control weevil infestation after it becomes severe. There are so many weevil stages present in the squares and bolls that some of them come out every day and poison must be kept constantly on the plants if any good is to be done by it. This very greatly increases the expense of rxcsoninu'. Then there conies even a short spell of rainy weather, such . ontroi as has been (gained is lost and the farmer has gone to heavy expense for nothing. We advise all cotton planters to he extremely careful about t'ntin'j' late so;ison poisoning. In a few cases it has been successful, 1 ut at heavy cost awl only under the most favorable conditions. The /*nly safe course is to be prepared U- poison at the l'i.LVht time." Write the Delta Laboratory, rallular, La., foi instructions ''When and ilow to Poison." OAK LKAF HLISTKR 1 Clemson College, June 8.?The leaves of oak trees in many parts oi the state are now effected with i fungous disease which causes the production of pale colored distortions oi blisters somewhat resembling those of peach leaf curl. In severe case, the leaves may fall. No serious results usually follow, however, unless a bad attack occurs for two or three years in .succession, in which ease the repeated defoliation may becomc serious, says Dr. C. A. Ludwig, asso ciate p:ani pamoiogisi, m mi \w?i inquiries. The cause of oak leaf blister is ji fundus known as taphrina coerulescens, which is closely related to the peach leaf curl fungus. How it passes the winter, for instance, and what n the course of infection in the spring are still unknown. In general it b 1 probably not worth while to attempt control unless two or three years o1 serious attack occur in succession. Ii that case the most promising measure to try is the one which is effective for peach leaf curl; tmtnely, a wintei spray of Bordeaux or boiled lime-sulphur, and the burning of the old dis eased leaves in the fall. Kxtensioi Circular 25 gives directions for pre paring those sprays. o- ?

THE HORRY HERALD, OONW W P. POLLOCK DIES SUDDENLY The Hon. W. P. Pollock, former United St/ites Senator from South Carolina, once a prominent candidate for Governor of the state, and one of the leading: lawyers of the South Carolina bar. died at his home in Cheraw one morning last week from apoplexy. His death was sudden, according to reports, and came as a great shock to his family and friends. Mr. Pollock was well known and extremely popular in Florence, and there will he general regret there over the news of his untimely death. Upon several occasions during the great war he addressed Florence audiences. He was an orator of great force and w.as considered one of the brightest jithi most jippiimnuvlmh flir* V It'livvt IIIVII v; I I 11 v; state. Mr. Pollock had been a leading citizen of Cheraw all his 'life. He was graduated from the University of South Carolina in 1890. Florence school mates were Prof. George Brings and Judge H. A. Brunson. On December 5 he entered the United States Senate, where he served for a short time in succession to the Hon. Christie Benet. William Pegues Pollock, son of Alexander A. Pollock, and Rcbacca Irby Pegues Pollock, was born near Cheraw, Cresterfield Co., December 1), 1870. He was educated in the public and private schools of his county and at the University of South Carolina. He received an appointment to West Point but was rejected on physical exanii nation. He taught school for two years and also served two years as clerk oftlie District of Columbia Con mittee in Congress. In 1893 he began practice of the profession of law in Chesterfield county. He served in the State Leu islature from his county from 1894 until 1898, having been elected at the age of 23. In 1K9S he made the race for Congress from the fifth Congres sional district, but was defeated. lr 1900 he served as Democratic presidential elector from South Carolina Mr. Pollock was again elected tc the Legislature in 1902 and was reelected in 1904, serving until 1906. He served his county in many of the state democratic conventions and was president of that convention in 1918. Mr. Pollock was delegate at largo to the democratic national convention in 191G. In 1918 lie was elected United States Senator for the short term, succeeding Christie Benet of Columbia, who had been appointed to succor' Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman, who died in July. 1918. Mr. Pollock servo from December, 191S, until Marcl 1919. He was succeeded by N. B. Dial, who now holds the office. Mr. Pollock married Miss Bessie Sal ley of Orangeburg. He was wol known throughout the state and h:i(' hosts of friends who are saddened b\ the news of his death. Senator Pollock was well known it Columbia, having boon frequent vis itor to the capital on public as well aprivate business. His widow is a sis or of Mrs. Bruce Edgerton of Columbia. The Pollock family has many friends in Columbia who will mourn the death of tho prominent statesman The news of the death of forme' United States Senator William P. Pollock comes as a distinct shock to hi. large number of friends and admirer j in this state, and particularly in Co | lumbia. where he was a more or les:frequent visitor. It became known recently that Sen ator Pollock has not been in robus' health for the past year, having suf fered from pleuresv last fall, fo which he was brought to the Columbia hospital for treatment. He recovered slowly from an operation, hir his friends had no idea that ho could ho considered a stricken man. Ilow ever, it was learned that his immediate r.'ini i! y and friends had despaired of his regaining his health. Senator Pollock was a vital force in state politics, and hi? campaigns of former years are indelibly stamped i upon the minds of thousands of peo :tlo over the state. lie was considered one of the best stump speakers and or.ators which the last few generations have produced. He was an upstanding man. one who bowed to no man in love for his state and nation, and ? lie was always to be found in the f orefront of any struggle for the good i of his state, to which he gave of his time and talents unselfishly. At the meeting of the recent democratic state convention his absence was notod and remarked, for he was always a leader at these gatherings, and could ; invariably be counted upon to give wise counsel and advise of benefit to the party. Senator Pollock was a graduate of the University of South Carolina. ' when it was known as the South Carolina college and soon after graduation i he was sent to Columbia as a re pre sentative from Chesterfield county in > the general assembly, where he im; mediately came into the limelight as ; aman of determined and dynamic , force. As a debater ho had few equals and as a student of public affairs he : has always stood at the forefront. ' *1 ? I _ ll.fl.

The late Senator Martin of Virginia paid . him the high tribute of saying that . Senator Pollock made more rapid , headway than any other senator he . had seen in his experience in that body. o ? * AY, S. P., JUNE 8, 1922 HOW PRODUCE" GOOD CREAM Cleanliness is the Very First Essential in The Process CLEAN MILKING PRACTICE Remember That the Utensils Used in This Business Must be Clean and Kept Clean Clemson College, June S.?One of the things which should receive first consideration in dairy farming for the production of a high quality of milk or cream is cleanliness, with special reference to clean barns, clean mi'kimr practices and clean utensils, say* M. K. Tolr.triip, associate professor of dairying. Clean Barns.?It is very essential that tho barn be kept clean. The manure should be removed at least once each day. Cobwebs and dust should not be allowed to accumulate. \\ bite waslnn.i>- the interior of the barn at least once a year is a cheap means of improving the appearance and sanitary conditions. There should he plenty of fresh air and flies should l?e kept out as nearly as possible. Some people have actually screened their barns against flies and found it/ to be a paying proposition. The cost oi* screening the barn is more than paid 4or by the increased production. When the cows are freed from flies they ?an devote all their energy to production, which is otherwise materially decreased by the excitement and worry caused by flies. If screening cannot >e done, spraying with some cheap but effective fly repellant should pre r.'ede the milking process whenever possible in order to make it more comfortable for both the milkman and the animals. Care should be taken, however, not to get any of the spray into the milk because of the disagreeable odor and taste it will impart. Clean Milking Practices.?Cleanliness in milking should be exercised at all times. Before milking begins, the cow's udder and flanks should be wiped off, preferably with a damp cloth, in order to prevent particles of straw or loose hair getting into the pail. The milker should always milk with dry, clean hands. It is a filthv habit, to say the least, to milk with wet hands, and it is a mistaken idea that milking with wet hands makes milking easier. As a matter of fact in cool weather not only is it hard on the milker but it also has a tendency o cause the cow's teats to become sore. It is well to strain the milk immediately through a clean cloth or preferably through a fine mesh gair/e -trainer to remove possible loose particles of feed, hair and flies whenever such have entered the pail. Clean Utensils.?All utensils which come in contact with milk and croani should he kept clean at all times. Ic I is well to use pails with a parti'1 covered top because this keeps out 50 per cent of the dirt and other impurities which should otherwise get into the milk. Milk pails and othei utensils should he free so far as possible from crevices where dirt ma\ lodge and be hard to remove. Cream separators and other dairy utensil? should always he cleaned properly immediately after use. This practicc not only improves the quantity 01' the milk and cream, but makes ihc work easier and the utensils last longer, Furthermore, there will be less lo.-s ot butterfat in the skim milk, and the skim milk and cream will not spoil so quickly. The wash injur can best be done by first rinsing the utensils it cold water and then washing in hoi water containing grease-free vashirip powders. This should bo followed In rinsing in scalding water, after whicl they should be placed in the sun t< dry.

TH E NEW SWEET POTATO BOOK Clemson College.?"South Carol in: now produces annually approximately 10.000,000 bushels of sweet potatoes, or in the neighborhood of 10 per cent of the total annual production of the potato producing states of the United States, but South Carolina puts on the commercial markets rather less than 10 per cent of her production,'* according to Extension Bulletin 52, "The Sweet Potato Industry," just issued by the extension service of Clemson College to help promote the safe development of the sweet potato industry in this state.

"Few crops are so well adapted to South Carolina -soil and can be .so easily worked into the present fanYi>ing system as the Southern sweet potato. However, the methods of growing, harvesting, curing and mar- 4* keting as practiced in former years are not acceptable in cpmmerciaiizing and stabilizing sweet potato growing as an industry. The commercial markets are accepting only the highest quality product from the storage houses and green or summer shipments. Hence, growers and prospective j^row- ^ ers must realize the vital importance of quality production, together \\ith the necessity of marketing locally and feeding to live stock the off grades."
