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

resume purchases, with considerable
effect on the market for cotton and
cotton Roods. 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. But the benefit of the
improvement in the cotton situation
extended beyond the South. The

PLANT DISEASE SURVEY
Botanv Divisior of Cleinson College
Studying Plant Diseases of
This State.
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.

PRISONER MAY
PAY AFTERWARD
Up to the time that the last Legislature
met in Columbia, where a criminal
was sentenced to pay a fine or
serve a stated time in the penitentiary
or chain gang, elected to serve the
time, and afterwards, found himself
able to pay the fine, had to pay the
fjne in full as well as donate what
work he had done to the public.
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.
Section 2. That this Act shall go
into (ffect immediately upon Ks approval
by the Governor.

CONTROLLING BEANTJEETLE
? %
Clemson College.?In regard to
control measures for the Mexican
bean beetles, about which there was
an article in a recent issue of the
Weekly News Notes, Prof. A. 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."

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.

CORN SMUT.

which is beginning to make its appearance
in this year's crop, is

still later they become dry and hurst
open. 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

Th? Pour Horsemen of the Harding
Administration.
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.
