Home and Farm Demonstration | | Gub News of Interest to; All Boll Weevil Menace Is Becoming Serious Report from AH Counties of the State Show the Cotton Crop Is in Great Danger. The following telegram from W. W. Long, Director of Extension Division of Clemson College, was received on Monday morning by County Agent Boylston: • ‘‘Reports from all countiees of the State show the cotton crop in great danger. This favorable boll weevil weather continuing, unless intensive campaign for weevil control is im mediately undertaken the State will lose heavily. Please devote all your time to aiding and urging the farmers to use sweetened poison where no other means are available and especi ally where cotton is small; dust with machine where cotton is large. All t£e people, merchants, business men and bankers, should interest them selves in this threatening situation. Would suggest that those who are fortunate enough to own dusting ma chines to lend them to their less for tunate neighbors when machines are not in use by owners. This will be a patriotic service.** Mr. Dean, who is furnished by the Planters Produce and Storage Com pany, of Florence, is in the county this week assisting the county agent and dealers in machinery and poison in determining the aniOunt of weevils present in the fields of different farm ers. Some fields that were examined on Monday were found to have only one to two percent. There were two fields, however, examined near Barn well which showed that the damage was beginning to be serious. County Agent Boylston advises all fanners having assail cotton to apply liquid poison immediately, making several applications four to five days apart. The larger cotton is now of such ai«e aa to require dusting and H is urged that farmer* do not wait until the cot ton is badly damaged before begin ning. Everyone- should get behind this matter and urge the farmers to fight the boll weevil for the nest few weeks.—Prepared by H. G. Boylston. County Agent. LN MEMORIAM. J.

C. saw Pleased Greet Memerial Nearly 80 years ago a Santo Domin ican, Don Antonio Delmonte y Tejada, conceived the idea of a fitting memori al to Oolnmbus. His proposal was: "Let us erect In the most visible and notable place in America, in a central point and where it may be visited by travelers as they approach her shores, the statue that his greatness and re membrance demand. Let this statue be a coloesus like that of Rhodes, and let It be designed by the beet sculptor available and with funds raised by popular subscription in all the cities of Burope and America, and let this statue have its arms extended and pointing to one and the other of the American continents.** Vegetable and Flower Show Interests Many The Vegetable and Flower Show sponsored by the Farm Women’s Council of Barnwell County which wa 8 held in Barnwell Saturday morning, was a manifestation of the interest the farm women and girls are taking in gardening. Five communities: Morris, Galilee, Long Branch, Hercu les and Hilda, put on exhibits of vegetables which attracted attention for variety as well as quality of pro ducts shown. The exhibits showing the greatest variety of vegetables was that of the girls gardening club of Galilee. In this exhibit were snap beans, (two varieties,) Lima beans, carrots, beets, parsnips, turnips, tomatoes, squash, sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes okra, cabbage, collards, onions, and Swiss chard. ‘ it „ Prickiag • #f Thu flrat contribution to the na tional conscience fund was made in Igil.

The at tractiveness of the exhibits was due to the manner in which they were ar ranged in containers, color combina tions obtained and suitability of con tainers used, rather than to specimen flowers exhibited. While the judges were at work Mother Walker, of Winthrop College talked on cultivation of garden vege tables and discussed with individuals many gardening problems. Miss Ceah Parker, of the Home Garden Department of Nitrate o ’ Soda Company gave a demonstration and talk on the attractive arrange ment of cut flowers.

Following the business meeting' a recreational period, directed by Mrs. Louise Bauer, ended the program for the day. Old fashioned games as— ‘‘Jump Jim Crow,” ‘‘Handkerchief Snatch,” “Good Morning” and “The Virginia. Reel,” were enjoyed by all, and everyone went away feeling young again. Those assisting with exhibits were: Catherine, Marie, Edna, Inez and Gertie Creqph; Lillian, Saleda, and Viols Hutto from Galilee; Mrs. B. 0. Norris, Mra. W. P. Morris, Mrs. Lot tie Sanders and Mra.

Terkar from IF ICHAB80 CFAHE ' t HAD * FLASHLIGHT By JOHN a LONSDALE * President American Bankers Association t«7E ALL remember the story of Icha- ** bod Crane and the headless horse man. There waa the dark form by the side of the road— thundering hoofs on the Sleepy Hol low highway — and Ichabod flee ing in confused terror before this terrible monster. If Ichabod had only known that his hobgoblin was an inventive rival disguised with a a pumpkin head, he would have had a good tough and gone on with the business of van quishing his competitor. What Ichabod really needed was a modern flashlight. Then he would have discovered the trickery at once. Many business men need the flashlight of analysis to uncover the hobgoblins in their business and then they might sit back and laugh at their rivals who hesitate to investigate and learn the truth. • At this time, when business and banking are making strenuous efforts to have a clear vision ahead, it is espe cially Important that the power of re search and analysis be employed to their fullest extent. When these twin brothers of good management have been pressed Into service in all fields, I am confident we shall see a further lessening of periods of stress. How ever, I believe business in general has learned the valuable lesson that any prosperity that to not leavened wtth a little adversity would not seem basi cally safe or sound. John G.

Mary of Bethany, because of her keen apprehension, saw that the Lord’s body would be broken and that His precious life would go out at a time when no one could lov ingly minister to Him. She therefore anointed Him as against thst dread day. When the disciples criticised her act, she was defended by Jesus. Leeson for Juns 15.—Jesus did not die as a martyr or as an example, but to make an atonement for man’s sin. The supreme value of the lessons for the quarter centers in the cross.
