MAKES US GLAD
The Herald force Is extremely ghw'
every time a subscriber comes in and
pays the money for a renewal. The
business management of the wper ?
very glad too, because it takes cold
hard cash to run the papor prd ?? **
it out complete each week in the present
.style which is satisfying each and
every reader.
It takes time, it takes care, it takes
hard thought, and cold hard dollars
also to run The Hemic! as it is rur
now, and if people knew just how glad
it made us *'iI! feel for them t-o pay
us a little money, there would be
more of the men ,md women, boys and
grirls com in p; in every day and having:
their names enrolled at the price of
one dollar and fifty cents.
Those who think that the pap^r
might be a gold mine for us are sadly
mistaken. We are the most dependent
people on the face of the
earth.
Now Christmas is coming. Make us
glad by sending in the money.
ON FIGHTING"
CORN WEEVIL
Clemson College.?The heavy loss
fu.m the corn weevil, particularly in
the Piedmont section, has brought
voany inquiries for control methods.
I-arcre amounts of corn have already
be^n ruined in the fields.
The use of pure seed of standard
vr.*rieti#?s and carehtl ann lai selection
of ears well covered jt the tips
will do much to relieve the trouble,
says .T. L. Carberv, Extension Agronomist
in Plant Breeding, who advises
also that where weevil infestation
is heavv, the corn should be
'-'hucked in the fieM to avoid storing
the weevil for further damage in the
corn crib.
Many weevils live over winter in
nubbin ears left in field, therefore,
?nch ears should be carefully removed.
Since most corn cribs are of opert
onstruction. carbon bisulphide can
not be used very effectively particularly
where larg-e quantities of
" orn are stored. Under such conditions
better results may be obtained
by hanging building paper of
"loth curtains around the exterior of
the corn crib, fitting closely to prevent
escape of the gas. Cloth treated
with beeswax or a mixture of paraffin
and gasoline will serve well and
last a lone: time, and it can be removed
and replaced as desired.
Where the bulk of corn is too
great to fumigate effectively from the
top in the usual way, the liquid may
be conducted to the point of distribution
on the interior of the pile
through small gas pipes. A thorough
fumigation of the corn will kill not
only weevils but also rats and mice
if means of escape are cut off.
Smaller quantities of corn, peas, etc.,

Claris on College?Several rears .
ngo <he Agronomy Division on Clem- <
ion College realized the value of community
co-operation in cotton growing
and inaugrated work along this line
| ;n spvo v.M 1 counties of the state. The 1
I work will be further developed next 1
reason, as an aid in fighting the boll <
weevil. 1
Community cotton growing is the
planting; of one pood variety chosen
by the growers of a community and
further improvement by seed selection
each year.
One of the beneficial results to be
obtained from this plan is the difc'V'dinK
of inferior varieties, or so
called varieties, which .are beinir 1
"Town in South Carolina, and which 1
"au?e a large part of the cotton crop
to be of low quality. 1
It is the common belief of many i
farmers that a variety runs out after i
having; been prown for several years; 1
but if proper seed selection is main- \
tained. the variety should be improv- i
ed both in yield and in quality and (
become adapted to local conditions.
The so-called running out. of varie- ]
ties is due chioflv to crossing of var- t
ieties in fields close together and to t
mixing1 of seed of different varieties <
at public trins. ?
These difficulties may be overcome
if the mowers would adopt one {rood
variety and prow it exclusively. This
would result in the production of ;?
more uniform and better qualitv r
staple that would sell at a premium, \
for buvers are fast demanding great- s
er uniformitv in length and quality i
and are willing to pay for these t
things. s
Earliness prolificness uniformity \
and length of staple .and a hi eh per- (1
centage of lint are some of the quali- r
ties sought in producing a desirable t
cotton for growing under boll weevil
conditions.
Co-operative (growing Lessons 1
Weevil i)amape i v
Wlien many varieties are planted I
in a community, some are earlier (
fruited than others .and the weevils
will have multiplied on the earlier
fruiting: cotton and immigrate to the .<
inter fruiting varieties in such num- \
bers as practically to destroy the i
crop. 1
The variety which begins to bloom j
first is not necessarily the best, for i
there are three distinct factors in j
earliness. These factors are: (1) <
time at which cotton begins to bloom. 1
(2) the rapidity with which blooms
appear after blooming starts, (3)
Vngth of time required for fruit to
'eveloo after bloom opens.
A great many people have overlooked
the second and third points
and have judged the earliness of cotton
entirelv on the basis of time it
begins to bloom. Actually, points
two and three are more important
than point one and should be care*fully
considered in choosing the .variety
for earliness.
In the final analysis high yields
and better quality at reduced cost
per acre are desired.
Varieties Rocommended for Adoption
According to tests such varieties
as Kinir. Half and Half. S imlrins.
and Cook have shown undesirable J
qualities and are not to be recom- <
mended. J
The following varieties which have <
given best results for South Carolina <
conditions are recommended fyr com- J
munity adoption: <
1. Short staple varieties?Clove- J
land. Big Boll on wilt-free land, Dix- <
ie Triumph on wilt-infested land. <
2. Long staple varieties?Webber ]

BEWARE OF IMPROPERLY CERTIFIED
POTATOES
Plemson College.?Buyers of certified
Irish nptatoes should he careful to insist
that the potatoes they get are
certified for seed. Some of the prow- ,
srs of potatoes for table stork hr.\ e
formed associations and certify the
potatoes sold under their naiie. Such ,
potatoes are certified for domestic
consumption only, and it can readily
>e understood that such a certificate 1
would he utterly meaningless from a
grower's standpoint.
Certificates for seed stock indicate 1
'heir purpose clearly and give tlio 1
small percentages of disease and
?ther defects found in the crop by
inspectors. Buyers can get copies of
these certificates from the grower
when buying. If a dealer offers for
sale seed potatoes which he claims to
he certified, he ought to be able to .
show a copy of the certificate. If ho
has neglected to get it, he c.in still
tret it later. Inability to show such
[i copy or secure it should he co?*
-idered efood evidence that his claim
is false.
The buyer should make sure that
ihp certified nfttntnftfi hmio'hf frw
?re certified for seed and not for
rlomestic use.
WINTER CARE OF REES
CI em son College.?It is time to put
hoes into winter packing cases, in
making fhese preparations for winter
5are of bees there .are three very important
things to he remembered, says
E. S. Prevost, Extension Spo^'Hist i,Boe
Keening. First, the packing cases
should be made of good seasoned
'umber and the packing material
should be thoroughly dry. Second,
there should be a good queen that
rvill be re^dv for work early in the
"ring. Third, there should be a sufficient
amount of good quality honey
i'ov winter stores.
In recard to winter stores, her
keepers are cautioned that the smv ner
and f"l' honov nviv orv
rapidlv and b^#?<? cannot use i* for
Pood when in this condition. TherePore.

Tf there is occasion to open [ho

MURDERS DONE
AT HERRIN, ILL.,
(Continued From Last Week.)
i
The Slaughter at the Fence
The first desperate violence to the
prisoners came after fresh bands of
men from Zei^ler and other points
had joined the mob, marching the
prisoners toward Herrin.
Approaching the power plant, a
vounqr chap, .ibout five feet seven tall
to whom recognition was ^iven aleader,
halted the prisoners and their
escorts. He pave orders for the column
to move to the right which
would take the prisoners oP' the road

the power house.
At a point immediately in the rear
of the power house ami not more
than 250 feet distant from it, the prisoners
were halted .about twenty *"eet
from a four-strand barbed wire fence
The prisoners, or 47 of them, were
lined up as targets. The 500 armed
men were arranged in two squads,
forming a shallow "V" or semi-circle.
This boxed the prisoners \t\ and gave
them no opportunity to get away
from the gunfire, except through the
barbed wire. The command was
given, and the dead and wounded beKan
to drop and a "rabbit" hunt with
men as the game ensued. Many who
got through the wire were killed and
others wounded. Some of the wounded
were mutilated after they hrtd been
brought down to earth by bullets.
Reporter Sees Mutlitated Victims
T,-?e first newsoaper man to arrive
on the scene, in the woods, J. E. Hendricks,
of the St. T.ouis Post-Dispatch,
had been held up an hour in
TTerrin by a crowd which had t^ld
him that what was going: on was the
town's own business and was nothing
for the newspapers. Finally he got
free enough to follow a crowd
streaming through the woods from
Herrin. Arriving at the scene of thr
ivassacro. ho saw several of the pris
oners with their throats cut and onr
n-<'in hanging to a tree. At another'
point where it apneared at least six
men had been taken into a cemetery.
p~d three killed and three wounder
their clothine showed that they had |
boon draiyo-ftd over tho wound, after'
having been tied with rope. In the
far distance men could be seen run-'
ning, pursued by little groups of
other men, much as rabbits running
from hounds.
Another account, given by a man
who went armed with the mob, says:

PROPOGATING GRAPES
Now Plants Secured from Cuttings
and Layers.
Clemson College.?All of the bunch
grapes, such as Niagara, Concord,
and Deleware, may be propagated
from cuttings made from this season's
growth. The cutting should he
not less than 8 to 10 inches long
find should have a good well develop?d
bud at each end of the cutting,
says Prof. C. C. Newman. Horticulturist,
who thinks that the best canes
lo use for cuttings are those that
liave about three buds to every 10
inches in length.
After the cuttings have been made
they should be placed their full
length in the ground, 0 inches apart
n 3-foot rows. The trench should
:>e filled half full of soil and packed
irmly, ami the cuttings covered entirely
with loose soil, with the top
)ud even with the surface of the 1
ground. If the soil dries out readily 1
t might be well to mulch with leaves i
