Y., June 18.— Mayor James J. Walker added some what to the gayety of nations and injected some humor into the packet of political dynamite labeled “Ord ers from Rome” in an address be fore 450 clerical and lay alumni of Cathedral College at a dinner in the Hotel Biltmore commemorating the silver jubilee of the college, stated an article in the New York Sun. “It is not so- long since I was forc ed to listen to a tirade of a sort not unfamiliar to you,” the Mayor said, “when a friend from one of the buc olic districts asked me if it were not a fact that all my public acts were dictated from Rome. I said, No—I had to be honest with him— they were not, but morels the pity. ‘•‘Then he said to me: ‘Now really, don’t you know if A1 Smith is elect ed,President he will take his orders from Rome?’ “And I answered him. ‘ I hope to God he does,” because of the patrio tism and the love of country in my heart. I tried to show him that during all the ages the Church ol Rome Has ordered nothing against civilization, and I almost got him to concede that it would be for the good of the country to have a d'rect con nection with Rome.” X The rew elevated streets in New York will at least boost the sale of window' blinds to some extent in that city.

South Carolina Crops As Of June 1 Crop prospects in South Carolina as of June 1, were generally fair to good, although the effects of a cool, wet spring are still apparent in the slow progress of growing crops and irzegularity of growth and stands. However, all crops are now making good growth and are in position to respond rapidly to favorable weath er. Wheat, oats, and rye harvest is in progress with prospects of fair to good yields on the acreage remain ing for harvest. A June 1, condit ion of 73 per cent for winter wheat indicates a production of about 783,- 000 bushels, which compares with the f nal estimate of 880,000 bushels last year. Oats are reported at 67 per cent of normal, compared to 75 per cent last year and a ten-year aver age of 81 per cent. Rather severe winter killing has reduced the acre age for harvest, and present pros pect are f<?r a crop of around $8,500,- 000 bushels compared to the final es timate of 10.327,000 bushels last year. Rye has a condition of 75 per cent, w'ith an indication of 96.000 bushels to Le harvested for gtnin. .bis compares with a cordit.cn o. / per cent lact year and a produc- on of 117.000 bushels and a Uv?

This compare wfth a final estimate of 615 001 bushels last year and a five-yea. average of 752,000 bushels. Present prospects indicate a shipment of about 1,000 cars from the commer cial orchards this year, compared to a carlot movement of 625 cars in 1927. The indicated production of pears is 135,000 bushels, compared to 63,- 000 bushels last year, and an aver- -gc proauction oi 9y,u0u busnens ,.e past i.ve years.

The effect of the ra‘h cr general rains that have occurrea since June 1, are rot reflected i. this report. A condition of 73.6 per cert for winter wheat indicates a production cf 512,252,000 bushels compared with! 486,478,000 indicated on May 1, and a production c'f 552,394,000 bushels last year. Improvement in the out look for this crop is not ad particui arly is reveral of the Central States, notably in Kansas, Nebraska, am Oklahoma. A decrease from th May indications is shown in thi "Wester .i and North Alla: tic greup of States. Rye has a condition of 67 9 poi ^ cent, the lowest ever renorted for i June 1, wh ch indicates a productior j of 36,676,000 bushels, compaied to i crop of 58,572,000 bushels last year and a five-year average of 54,873,000 bushels. The indicated yield of 10.3 bushels, if confirmed by the harvest will be the third low r est on record, that of 1885 being 10.2 and 1887, 10.1 bushels.

PeacKes Near Vetch May Be Attacked By Corn-Ear Worm Green peaches may be attacked by the corn-ear worm if it- has been feeding on vetch nearby, and the vetch is not turned under early enough. The corn-ear worm occurs throughout the South and is primar ily a pest of corn, tomatoes, tobacco, cotton, and legumes. On vetch and other legumes it feeds in colonies, and whe n these crops aie not turn ed under eraly enough, are left for seed, or are cut late, the worms as sume the army-worm habit and move in “armies” to adjacent peach orch ards or fields cH other crops. Be cause of this habit corn-ear woims are sometimes confused with army worms. The Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agri culture noted that in 1926 cron-ear worms did considerable damage to | peaches and other crops in Georgia,' Alabama, and South Carolina. (Con siderable vetch was gjown in the; South that year, and peach orchards adjoining fields in which vetch was ■ ne t turned under soon enough or was j xllowed to f-o to seed were material-1 ly damaged by the worms devouring the green peaches as they marched across them. This occurred from the middle of May to the first part of June. In one orchard in southern Georgia the corn-ear worms practi cally destroyed the crop of peaches on 4,000 young trees. Vetch had been planted between the trees rows and the grower had failed to turn it under at the right time. In another case the wdrms attacked a peach orchard from hay in a near-by barn, where they hatched after the hay was cut and stored. Control measures consist in con structing a deep furrow around the orchard or in the path of advance of the worms when they are seen to start as an “army.” This furrow can be made with a turn plow or ditching machine. One side should be steep, and postboles should be provided at intervals in the furrow to entrap the worms. After the worms get into an orchard poisoned bran bait or spraying or dusting with lead arsenate is recommended. -txt- The old fashioned mother who used to talk about how many biscuits she could get cut of a quart of flour, today has a daughter who tells how many miles she can get out of a gallon. f or Econcmient Transportation r§M»K*L 'With an 'OK. that counts* This Red ‘‘Q.K.’’ Tag protects you Attached to the radiators of the best recondi tioned used cars we offer for sale is a red “O.K.’* tag which is the purchaser's assurance that ' VC j n un * fs have ly^en replaced by new ones— *1 t ^ a * t * ie pri . ce quoted represents actual value.

Has Great Faith 1 1 InFuture of South Carolina Here are 680,000.000 in bonds being handled by employees of the , Woodmen of the World. W. A. Fraser, Sovereign Commander, is stand ing with sheaf of bonds in his hands. 506,000.00 of these bonds repre sent South Carolina investments. The employees are clipping the semi annual dividend coupons. : ST HAT the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Assoc iation has faith in Abbeville I County is evidenced by the fact that W. O. W. has $44,000.00 Invested in murricipal bonds of this county, according to a statement today by W. A. Fraser, Sovereign commander of the Woodmen of the World and President of the Globe Life Insurance Company. “The Woodmen of the World has great faith in the future of this state,” said Mr. Fraser. Sovereign Commander Fraser also announced that the Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Assoc iation now has $1,506,000.00 invest ed in municipal bonds in the state of South Carolina. “Our funds are used to help the development of the various parts of the United States where Woodmen of the World members are located," said Mr. Fraser. “We are glad in having the opportunity to aid the various counties and states in build ing roads, school houses, court houses, street improvements and other municipal enterprises." “Not enough people in America realize the importance of modern and up-to-date school houses and modern methods of education. San itary and modern school houses tend toward making both teachers and school pupils more contented and, therefore, more efficient. Good ; school houses with their sanitary* conveniences, proper lighting and| ventilation enable school teachers to do better work, and nothing is more important than education of our children—the future citizens of tomorrow.” Mr. Fraser said the factors enter ing into security of their invest ments are based foremost on the community’s financial responsibil ity, both present and potential. But in addition, however, he said the Investment Committee was also guided by good faith of and confi dence in the municipality issuing such bonds. “Great assurance of good faith is given to the Committee in the simple statement that American; Municipalities of any importance do not default in the principal or in-' terest of any of their obligations,” said Mr. Fraser. During the thirty-seven years ex istence of W. O. W., the association * 1 has been very careful in the dis position of its funds for invest ments. The company now has* $88,000,000 invested in municipal; bonds. Daring its twenty-seven' years, W. O. W. has handled more 1 than $120,000,000 of investments without losing a cent of pHnoipat or ifiterest.
