Page No. 6 FALSE ALARM HAD A CAUSE The people were so used to having a fire braak out in the section of the town which 'ics near the railroad tracks, on the Eastern side of upper Main street, that they have been ready to run there at the slightest indication of another blaze. _1 A 1. ? * 11 oucn ininu.s are amusing as wen .as* serious. Many explanations of the numerous fires there have been suggested, but ^ none of them are known to be the true explanation of the cause, at the time of this writing. Early last wvek, just after the burning of the barns of Hon. E. J. Sherwood, another alarm was turned in from the same ward. Cars began to turn in that dire :t ion from e ery quarter of town. Clouds of dust rolled up and obscured the vision of those who wanted to know what all the hubbub was about. The word spread from mouth to mouth about the street to the effect that it was only another chicken coop burning up. Yes, and it was Bob McCrackcn's too, they were certain it was. Investigation proved that there had been sufficient cause to fear that another burning had been staged. It was i all the result of an overloaded smoke house. The smokehouse was filled with smoke to dry out the pork and from the cracks of it long thin streams of smoke were issuing. Neighbors saw this and they acted on the supposition that where there is smoke there is some fire, and especially if the smoke is coming from a place where there has been fire or fires before. The coals had hardly cooled at the burning of the barns and the abandoned hen houses at the home of McCracken and Tisdale. There was certainly enough appearance of danger to cause the rinigng in of an alarm when it actually looked liked the smokehouse . was just then a smoldering volcano. It was ^especially so when it appeared that the force behind the smoke was about to burst out into tongues of red flame. o FARM GOSSIP If you have any place where weeds will grow, that place can be used for i\ garden. The slip-shod farmer puts things off; the good farmer puts things over. | There is no danger of getting the1 hen house too clean. Don't fail to use the garden fence to support running vines as well as to keep out intruding chickens. You believe in life insurance? Then spray your tomato and potato crops. It looks to the form economist as if the present tariff is a thinly veneered gold brick handed to the farmer.

C.?The purity, and therefore the healthfulness, of carbonated water was compared with plain water, is emphasized by Dr. W.i \V. Skinner, Assistant Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, U. S. Department of Agriculture, in a paper disoussinc bottled ravhnmiturl wntov nr>/4 bottled carbonated beverages. The observations of Dr. Skinner, a noted authority on such subjects, tends further to prove what the public is rapidly coming to generally appreciate, that bottled carbonated beverages, in addition to their delightful qualities, are the most healthful that may be had. Healthfulness is achieved through the destruction of impurities in the plain water by the use of carbonic gas. The destructive effect of carbon dioxide on various micro-organisms and the value of carbonation for the preservation of foods and beverages have claimed the interest of a number of workers since the first days of bacteriology, says Dr. Skinner. As e/?rly as 1885, I^eon reported the examination of several commercial mineral waters which were under slight pressure of CO-2. The number of microorganisms found to be present was always low. He also observed that after passing CO-2 gas through a drinking water, the total count rapidly diminished. Citing numerous experiments, which have uniformly shown that carbonic gas purifies water by the destruction i %ji wnaiever impurities it may have originally contained?and no wat^r is pure?Dr. Skinner says it is evident that carbonation causes a speedy destruction of the colon bacillus, and that carbonation exerts a distinctly harmful effect upon the members of / PLANT PEST POINTERS Home-grown seeds and plants do not introduce new pests. Those grown outside?well that's a different story. Better use caution when buying them. Melon anthracnose was very destructive last year. Better get in on that seed treatment and spraying campaign this year. It has recently been learned that some of the mosaic diseases of crops j are caused by minute parasitic ani! mals. j Cotton wilt is gradually spreading, I eveui into the heart of the Piedi^ont i region. The evidence is 'that the disease is carried in the seed. Buyers should govern themselves accordingly Note the following differences T>et.'veon a healthy and a diseased crop: Some study, some hard work, and some expense, and enough added income to pay for it all and leave a good profit. A ff?w tnmnt.nps mr? ho orvnwn fnr -- ' O* v " 11 lvt home use, even if bacterial wilt is in the garden soil, by planting them In tubs filled with fres^ or sterilized soil. "Find out what they don't like and give them lots of it," is a good practice to try on crop pests. It will usually mean to rotate crops. ?? ?o ROSE MILDEW Clemson College.?Powdery mildew : is the worst disease with which rose growers have to contend. In fact, it is so common, especially on roses of the rambler type, that some people consider the condition the normal one with these varieties. It is rare, in deed, to see a rose bush of this type go through a season unaffected unj less measures be taken for control' ling the disease. The college has already received some inquiries concerning it this season, says Dr. C. A. Ludwig, Associate Plant Pathologist, who gives the following suggestions: The symptoms by which the rose miVew can be recognized are the whitish, powdery appearance of the affected parts and the distortions of leaves, stems, and flower buds which occur when the parts are attacked while young. Late in the season it may be possible to find black specks of pin-point size scattered in the whitish areas. Probably as good a method as any for control is to spray with Bordeaux : _ a r rn ? ?1 r ?. 1111 ,\ m i c, i-u-iiu, ur rseii-uuneu umesulphus. Either of these can be depended upon to control the disease if frequently and thoroughly applied, hut will discolor the parts somewhat. Potassium sulphide (liver of sulphur) at the rate of one ounce to about three gallons of water can he used instead and will leave the foliapre with a more nearly normal color. If it is impracticable to use a spray, a dust of sulphur may he used instead. If an insecticide as well as a fungicide is desired, one part of lead arsenate can be combined with nine of sulphur. The spraying or dusting should begin as soon as growth starts and should be kept up often enough, usj uallv about one in 10 days to two | weeks, to keep the vines and leaves ! covered with the fungicide until growth ceases. o MAY FARM CALENDAR ( Things To Do This Month ______ I i Agronomy Kill the weeds while they are small. ; PHnt every acre possible in soil- ; building crops, such as velvet beans, < cowpeas. and soy beans. i Plant Spanish peanuts thick,?rows three feet apart and nlants throe! i inches apart in the rows. |< Plant sorghum for the home supply 11 of syrup. Plant some Sudan grass for hay. j When chopping* cotton remember that it pays to leave it thick. 1 Garden and Orchard Plant tonvito seed in May for transplanting in July. The Stone is excel- 1 lent for the late crop. Spray the tomatoes with Bordeaux mixture to greatly prolong the fruiting season. Plant early this month all tender vegetables such as cantaloupes and cucumbers, that have not already been planted. Cultivate the garden after every rain, to keep the land free from grass and weeds and to preserve a soil mulch. Spray with Bordeaux mixture as soon as the flowers have dropped and the fruit has set, and later at intervals of two weeks. Continue to spray peaches and plums wi>h self-boiled lime sulphur. Plant Diseases Keep the sprayer going according to schedule. Select a few choice stalks of tobacco for seed. Wildfire and blackfire are serious seed-borne diseases. Better not risk introducing them next year on purchased seed. If seed or plants must be purchased, investigate carefully to make sure that they do not carry diseases. Many cases are known of the introduction of serious diseases as a result of carelessness in this regard. Plant a resistant crop on that root knot infested field. Peanuts, corn, Flor ida beggar weed, velvet beans, Laredo soy beans, and Brabham, Iron, Monetta, and Victor cowpeas are suggestions. Plan a crop rotation; it. is a great help against plant diseases. Animal Husbandry Wean March pigs, which should be eight weeks of age. Breed beef cows. Sow soy l?eans and cowpeas for hay. Run mowing machine over pasture the colon-typhoid group and their period of viability in carbonated water is much shorter than that in plain water. i THE HORRY HERALD, URGES CAUTION AGAINST FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE i. Dr. W. D. McCormack, Conway, S. C. As you know foot and mouth disease is quite prevalent in all European iind South American countries and every precaution is being; observed to prqvenj the entrance of this disease into this Country. As quite d few shipments of chinaware packed in hay qy. straw of foreign origin are made into' our state, 1 take this opportunity <b ask your cooperation in calling this to the attention of any firms in the towns in your county, who you have knowledge of receiving such shipments and ask them to destroy the straw or hay by burning. I will also appreciate you adVising me of any shipments that you may have knowledge of where the straw or hay is, or is not destroyed. Dr. W. K. Lewis, State Veterinarian. We would like to have the cooperation of every merchant in Horry county in guarding the interest of the livestock growers. The disease known as the Foot and Mouth disease is one of the most infectious diseases known to veterinary science, and if we should get the infection in this country it would be a loss of millions of dollars to the livestock growers in a very short period. If the merchants will burn the pack- , ing and containers of all merchandise that comes into their possession, such as china and glassware, bananas, and . all other shipments marked 'not made in America' they will be doing their part. , Also if the farmers will not under any consideration carry to their homes any packing material such as straw or hay usually found around the stores they will be playing the ga.me of safety first. And also insist on the mer- i chants doing their best to guard your I interest, W. D. McCormack, 3 Assistant State Veterinarian. 1 FOR C LEAN SWEET | nrvm * m? rUiAIU f LiAiNTS 1 ' ______ ( Crop Post Commission Trying to Pro- 1 teet Farmers Against Dangerous Diseases ' . < Clemson College.?During the past < few years sweet potato plants coming j into South Carolina from some of the adjoining states where a strict inspection service is not maintained, have } been found infected with certain dis- , eases. Wilt, black rot, foot rot are 1 among the most destructive diseases < that we have of the sweet potato, and , we have occasionally found these com- j ing in. on plants purchased for plant- , ing, says Prof. H. W. Barre, Director j of the South Carolina Experiment Station; and where this occurs black rot, j foot rot are among the serious losses result, and the soil becomes infected \ with diseases that will continue to , cause trouble in the future. . In order to protect our growers ^ against the introduction of these destructive diseases, the crop pest com- ( mission last summer adopted regula- , tions requiring that three careful inspections be made before permits aie , issued to parties to sell potato plants. ( The first of these inspections is made j in the field in the fall before fros" has | killed the vines. At this time stem ret, or wilt, can be easily detected by sim- , ply going over the field carefully and , examining any wilted or dead plants. , The second inspection is made of the potatoes after they are placed in stor- , age. At this time any diseases, such . as black rot and foot rot, can be easily , detected. The third inspection is made 1 Df the plants before they are pulled from the bed and would show the pres- . ence of certain diseases that might be j overlooked at eifher of the other in- j spections. These regulations are apt to oper- | ate against the shipment of plants in- ; to the state from Florida and Georgia this year. The Crop Pest Commission i has already had requests for permits from parties who did not have the fall and winter inspections made. These re quests, of course, have to be refused. Therefore our people who have been in the habit of buying their plants from Florida and Georgia will prob- , ably have to arrange to get them else- , where this season. This notice is published so that they might have time to , make arrangements to secure plants elsewhere if necessary, and it is hopfed that where it is possible for growers to do so, they will arrange to propagate their own plants. This is the saf-j I _ 1.211 i ' uj Kin weeus. Observe the pastures and if unsatis- 1 factory plan to improve them next year. Dairying Continue to feed grain to milk cows on pasture. They will pay well for it. Keep salt before cows on pasture. Screen the milk house. Destroy breeding places for flies by keeping the manure pit dark or by removing manure every four days. Provide shade, pure drinking water, and salt for young calves. Use a curry comb and brush regularly to keep the hair and skin oily. This in a measure rape!Is flies and will also stimulate the cows to higher production. Boys* Club Work This is the last month in which club members will be enrolled. All enrollments are practically complete, but a few more boys will be taken in, if tkfey apply for membership.

Dealers in these commodities who have not received these blanks are advised promptly to request the commission for the blanks in order that they may avoid delinquency in the mattei of taking inventory and in order that a supply of stamps may be secured and held for business transacted May 1st, and thereafter. This notice is given for the reason that the commission has not a list of [ill new business institutions within South Carolina since January 1st, 1923. It is incumbent on all dealers in the taxable commodities who have not received the blanks to# provide themse^es with same promptly. It was difficult for the taxpayer who has not been provided with blanks to avoid ielinquency. It is, therefore, urged that each and every taxpayer see now that the blanks have been provided, or write the commission for the necessary blanks. The tax commissioners' letters says: "The stamp tax feature of the act passed by the Legislature goes into effect on May 1, smoking tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, candv retailing at 50 cents per pound and over, shotgun shells or rifle cartridges of .25 calibre and over are affected. Retailers or individuals selling to the final consumer, are required to affix the svampupon taxable articles. Wholesaler and jobbers are not required to stamr their goods." The law requires that an inventormust be made as of May 1st, of an> and aU the above named ojii?mod>ti( on hand on that date. Tve inventory. must be made in duplicate, one copy [ to be kept, the other to be forwarded to the tax commission. "Twenty-two calibre pistol and rifle cartridges are not taxable and need not be included in this inventory. "Only candy retailing at 80 cents per pound and above is taxable and landies retailing for less need not be included in this inventory. Chewing tobacco and snufT are exempted. From the effective date of this law all invoices of taxable commodities must be preserved for a period of two ^ears. "Moving picture theatres were last week relieved of the amusement phase of the tax act when the tax ,ap-1 peal board suspended the tax against them until September 1st. the board was called to meet in Columbia this : afternoon to consider a petition from the theatres exhibiting road shows for a suspension of the tax ag?inr.t *hem. If this petition is granted. it will practically eliminate the amusement 'ax from the new law temporarily." o ORCHARD FROST FIGHTING IN PECOS VALLEY, N. MEX While producing some of the best fruit in the country, Pecos Valley, N. Mex., has front hazards that occasion a serious problem to growers, as there are on an average two spring freezes each year after the fruit has reached a susceptible stage in its growtn. urchard heating has been very extensively adopted. The fact that for eight years no spring freeze has arrived unheralded by the Weather Bureau, United States Department of Agriculture, has contributed much to the success obtained in protecting these orchards by means of many small heaters. o Tell the news to The Horry Herald and let The Horry Herald tell the world for you. est and surest way of getting disease free plants. In any case before purchases are made, the buyer should satisfy himself that the plants will be shinped in accordance with the rules and regulations of the South Carolina Crop Pest Commission. The Commission is making every effort to afford proper protection against the introduction of dangerous pests and diseases, and if all parties concerned will cooperate in this matter, very effective protection can be provided. o To Stop a Cough Quick take HAYES* HEALING HONEY, ft cough medicine which stops the cough by Ka # K a (fiAniMAil 1 fi # n u\><iun^ iiiv iiuiaiucu auu uiuai^i iioiuco.

TOBACCO MEN ARE ELECTED Election returns reaching Raleigh headquarters of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association from a majority oi the (fbunties of the Uarolipas and Virginia, indicate that the election of delegates which took place May 5th was most successfully carried out. One delegate for each million pounds of tobacco, signed up in contracts of the Tobacco flGroovers Cooperative Assocuition, fos now been elected to represent 'itpui^embership which extends to 127 counties of the three states, and includes 89,000, farmers. The delegates elected by the organized tobacco growers last Saturday will nveet at twenty-two district meetings May 12 to name the twenty-two directors of America's largest cooperative marketing association for the coming year. The annual meeting of the stock Holders and directors of the association will take place Tuesday, May 15, in Raleigh, at which time the present board of directors will hold their last meeting. The new board will meet on June 5 for the first time. A steady increase of membership has taken place since the decision by the Supreme Court of North Carolina, which upheld thf contract of the tobacco marketing association. Over 450 new members joined the tobacco marketing association in April and since the Supreme Court decision last month the assocition has averaged well over a hundred new contracts a week. Many contracts were signed last week throughout the Old Belt of North Carolina and Virginia immediately following the payment of close to $2,000,000 to cooperative members who had delivered tobacco to the association since Januaryl. With its rapidly growing membership, the Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association has increased its local organizations of member growers in 01 counties of three states lo over sixteen hunt'red. These local associations iire assisting headquarters to keep in. contact with the entire membership. They are also aiding with information its the size of the 1928 crop, and hi ve assisted in the collection ol over $00,000 in damages from contract breakers. Letters with news of ihe associa-1 tion are mailed each week from Kaleigh headquarters to every locaV of the association in the Carolinas ?nd Virginia. o SUMMONS FOR REF1EF (Complaint Served.)
