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.

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 „

The display of flowers was inter
esting in that it represented collec
tions chiefly of old fashioned flowers,
such as phlox, zinnias, nasturtiums,
gladioli, lilies, calendula, marigold,
daises, calliopsis, dahias and cannas,
which may be seen about many of the
farm homes in the county. 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 ’

and talk on the attractive arrange

Following the business meeting' a
recreational period, directed by Mrs.

the day. Old fashioned games as—
‘‘Jump Jim Crow,” ‘‘Handkerchief

and everyone went away feeling young
again.

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.

“If the earnings were pooled and
paid out to all members in all districts
each member would receive an aver
age annual extra dividend of .78 per

eral Reserve Banks to the Federal
Government.
Another Plan Analysed
“The Glass bill would provide that,
after present 8 per cent dividends,
one-half tba remainder should be paid
to member banks as an extra divi
dend with the residue going to sur
plus and Federal Government as fran
chise tax. The average annual extras
to members would be as follows: Bos
ton District, 2.51 per cent; New York,
.48 per cent; Philadelphia, 2.05 per
cent; Cleveland, 2.09 per cent; Rich
mond, S.2f per cent; Atlanta, 4.67 per

las, 3.31 per cent; San Francisco, 1.87
per cent.
"If these extra funds were pooled the
result would be an extra average an
nual dividend of 1.78 par cent for each
member. Under this plan the system
would still pay as now an annual fran
chise tax, amounting to fl,841,tM on
