V > t\ FINANCE AND COTTON. i 1 ? < Extracts From the Corporation's Re- < ports Show How its Loans Affect Cotton Marketing < -? 1 Advances to Cooperative Associations, i "Early in July (1921) the Corpora- 1 tion agreed to make an advance of $5,000,000 to a cooperative <associa- ( tion in Mississippi to finance the carrying of 100.000 bales of longstaple cotton until it could be export- ' ed in an orderlv manner. Under the 1 terms of this advance the association agreed that out of the cotton pledged as security for the loan it would export within a year a sufficient quantity to repay the full amount of the | advance?the cotton to be held in American warehouses until the time was opportune for export. The announcement of this loan stimulated considerable interest, and within a short time the Corporation authorized advances to other cooperative asso ciations in Texas, Oklahoma, and Ari zona, as well as to banking institutions in the South, to assist in financing large quantities of cotton for export in a similar manner. In all of these transactions, care was taken to insure the use of the funds advanced by the Corporation solely for the purpose of orderly marketing, without encouraging holding for speculatice tive purposes. Improvement in the Cotton Situation. "In all, the Corporation agreed to finance approximately a million bales of cotton, and it was not long j before there was a marked improvement in the cotton situation. But it was n?t merely the agreement to finance a million bales, or even the ability to do so, that changed the situation in the South. A more important factor was the general realization that if the Corporations could develop satifactory methods of financing for 1,000,000 bales it could do so for such additional amounts as might be necessary. As soon as there was assurance that the industry would be adequately financed buyers both at home and abroad began to [CHILDREN-J require TiUmine - bearing food I in abundance to keep them j growing and in strength.

Mills which had feared that the bottom would drop out c>f the market, declares who had been timid about carrying: stocks of cotton and merchants who had allowed their stocks of cotton goods to run low, soon sensed the stabilizing effect on the market and were encouraged to go ahead with their business in the normal way. The business outlook in the South was changed, and the discouragement and despair gave way to confidence and hope.

Clemson College.?The U. S. Department of Agriculture conducts an annual plant disease survey of the country through the cooperation of the botany divisions of the different experiment stations, where the summaries for the individual states are made. The Botany Division of the South Carolina Experiment Station is now oniratf-ed in the accumulation of data for this year's survey for South Carolina. "We are asking the cooperation of the county agents and all others who can give help, and have sent out notices calling for reports on the prevalence of diseases on certain crops', says Dr. C. A. Ludwig, Associate Plant Pathologist, who says that occasional further reports will be requested, and that any one can help by calling the attention of his county agent or of the Botany Division to any diseases with which his crops arc infested. Last year's survey, the main results of which were reported in an article in these columns, yielded some very interesting information. A summary of the present season's work will also be made public as soon as the data are all in and studied. o T ml in nrmypssps: nhniit 000 ?nppips of timber trees, the United State.about ttOO. o No Worms in a Mealthy Child All children troubled with Worms have an unhealthy color, which indicates poor b'ood, and as a rule, there is more or I ess stomach disturbance.

At the last session of the General Assembly, this was changed by the passage of an act allowing the Clerk of the Court or the Judge or Magistrate, to apportion the amount to be paid in accordance with the amount of Hie sentence yet to be served. Following is this act in full: An Act to Require the Clerks of Court, Magistrates and Mayors or Intemlants of Cities and Towns in this State to apportion Fines in Certain cases. Section 1. Fines in Alternative to be Apportioned when part of Sentence has been served. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, That in all cases in this State where a sentence has been imposed by any Judge, Magistrate, Mayor or Intendant of any city or town in the alternative (by fine or imprisonment), and the person upon whom said sentence has been imposed shall enter upon the service of said sentence, and thereafter the said person, or any one in his or her behalf, shall desire or offer to pay the fine imposed by said sentence, the Clerk of the Court in the country in which the sa-id sentence was imposed, or the Judge, Magistrate, Mayor or Intendant who imposed the t^aid sentence shall apportion the fine imposed therein, so that the said person, or any one in his or her behalf, shall be allowed to pay such part of said fine as shall be in proportion to the balance of the time to be served under the said sentence . That upon the payment of said proportionate part of said fine, the said Clerk, Jud?e, Magistrate, Mayor or Intendant sliall release and discharge the person in behalf of whom the said fine is so paid from further custody.

F. Con radi has received the following suggestions from Dr. W. E. Hands, Entomologist of Alabama, where the bean beetle has made considerable headway. "Experimental work was conducted in the season of 1921 and did not reveal any fully satisfactory method for the control of the Mexican Bean Beetle. However, results w??re secured which have proved of value until further improvement in control methods can be worked out. The following suggestions are given, therefore, as the best we know at the present time. "Oji snap beans we do not advise the application of any arsenical because there might be some danger where the poison was carelessly applied and beans picked very soon thereafter and boiled immediately without being properly washed. We advise, therefore, on snap beans, that the plants be dusted at intervals of five or six days, as the occurance of the beetle may make advic?M~ using Pyrethrum or fresh insect powder at the rate of one part thoroughly mixed with hydrated lime two parts. This kills the insects quickly and is not dangerous j to snap beans as human food. The treatment will need frequent repetition but is not too expensive to be used with snap beans, which have a high value per acre. "On shell beans and lima beans, where there is no danger whatever to the cooked beans from the application of an arsenical, the plants may be dusted at intervals of twelve to fifteen days, using one part of calcium arsenate, one part of fine ground sulphur (flour or flowers of sulphur) and four parts of hydrated lime. This material should be thoroughly mixed and applied as a forceful dust to carry throughout the plants. This treatment is economical and fairly effective. In so far as our experience has gone, it may be applied safely to bean foliage under i practically all climatic conditions. "These recommendations may be superseded at any time through the results of further investigation. "Hand dust guns may be used in applying these powders. The ordinary method of dusking through a I sack would not be satisfactory. Efforts should be made to reach the j under sides of the leaves especially I with the dust as that is where most i of the bean beetles occur." o Bobbed skirts are growing longei about as fast as bobbed hair.

'**## ***** , I WHAT THE BEST BREED OF HOGS Clemson College.?It is seldom or never that a livestock meeting is held but that some farmer has asked, "What is the best breed of hogs?" In answering this question there are at least three factors which should be taken into consideration, say the swine specialists. The first consideration is, What breed do you like best ? Personal preference is one of the important factors. When a man has the breed he likes best he will take better care of it and will feel better satisfied. The second factor is comnuinit\ preference. The farmer who has n personal preference should seleci the breed which is most popular ii his community. This will help t: make a uniform product, and wi make marketing easier. The third factor to take into con sideration is adaptation to loca conditions. This can best be illustra ted by calling attention to the whit hog, which is popular* in the Nort but suffers skin scald when growi in the Southern States. Besides these points, everyone should bear in mind that there i often a greater difference betweei individuals of the breed than there is between the breeds. Many heat ed discussions arise as to the strong points of the different breeds. 1 would be more profitable to us i' we would spend that time ami energy in finding out the weak and strong points of the individuals of | our herd, so that judicious culling may be done. o CORN SMUT.

The interior is then filled with a dark brown or black powder, composed of the spores of the fungus. The damage is usually comparatively small as compared with some other sources of loss, but it is serious because it always occurs. No satisfactory control measure is yet known. It is sometimes advised that the spore masses be destroyed, but this measure is not apt to be very successful unless it be made ;i community practice over a considerable area and be persisted in foi some years, since the fungus can maintain itself in the soil and In debris for a good while, just how long is not known.

No more apt phrase was ever applied to the Harding administration than that by Senator Key Pittman (Dem., Nev.), in an interview in the Santa Fe New Mexican, when he said: "The Four Horsemen of the Harding administration: Poverty, Distress, Disorder, Violence." The achievements of the Harding administration as Seen by Senator Pittman was epitomized as follows. "Foreign relations left in chaotic condition. "Our foreign commerce?titf?re is none. "M illionaires' taxes reduced; poor people pay. "The H. C. L. still is a tenor. "Transportation charges increased. "Outrageous discriminations. "Perpetuation of long and short haul outrage.' "Destruction of all State control over interstate commerce. "Producer and consumer are starving together. "Harding. Mellon, and Wall Street keep the soldier from bonus. "The Four Horsemen of the Harding administration are: "Poverty, "Distress, "Disorder, "Violence." Senator Robinson (Dcm., Ark.), who like the Nevada Senator always talks straight to the point, thought so well of Senator Pitt man's interview that he had it placed in the Congressional Record. i n G. E. H. M/oore, one of Colleton's most progressive citizens met a tragic death at his home near Hendersonville Saturday morning. It. appears ville Saturday morning. It appears that Mr. Moore had started in his field to chase out some hogs, taking* with him a shot gun. While crossing a wire fence in some way the gun discharged, the load entering just above the heart, death resulting within an hour, and without his having regained consciousness. Polo was plavtd by women 400 years ago. ment of Agriculture is working on the problem of control, and tnere are hopes tb.ut the investi prat-ion will so've the problem. > Corn smut does not seem to be poisonous to livestock. In fact, a possible utilization of it as human food has been sujrurested. Or. F. I,. Stevens, of the University of Illinois, a 1 national authority on plant diseases, 1 has tested it out and reported it de^ licious. The smut balls should be taken before they become dark tmd - should be cooked like mushrooms. nt <>*< < *< 1 '^%T \:h WZI <>*< <>*< <>*< < . < *< OskO first week: iiiil <!*o l get high III o* o OSM <>*< < <>*o < >*< <>9(0 < >Jko < >:eo o:t? < >:co <> *< /-v 4j<$ 60c IIj 65c Iff 45:^ ^ ?! * >Ji< 36c i:j|u 40c :ag; 50c ]k\ ..75c ::!!<: 55c i;||H 35c ifal ill <>?*n w " [ 50c || 40c | 111] | iiiit 4 ff 4 >*f i if i ?! 4 If i ?* < if 4 ft 1 VI < if < if 4 jf ;a?gdl
