LISTEN JUNIORS!
The Junior class is beginning to
realize that the end of school is
drawing near. Soon we shall be
seniors. Whilfe we have a little time
let us stop a few minutes to think
just what being a senior means.
In the first place when we be
come a senior it is time to put
away childish things. No longer
can we indulge in such amuse
ments as throwing spit-balls or
chalk or ^hooting wire staples. We
must soon assume an air of dig
nity in keeping with our respon
sibilities. For to be a senior is a
responsibility. On our shoulders
will rest the student leadership of
the school. We hope we shall not
fail. ,
To be a senior will be lots of
fun—or at least, we believe it will
be. The seniors seem never to
have to study! And then they
seem to have such a good time
planning for commencement.
But we know that it will not be
all fun and we shall do our best to
do all that is expected of us in the
best way possible. So come on,
juniors, let’s make the best of all
our opportunities as they come to
us so that we shall be ready for
the greater opportunities when
they come to us.

PLAN1ERS AND PLOWS
If you want a well built, durable, efficient and complete
Combination Planter—Get a COLE.
The No. 40 Planter will plant cotton three ways.
1st. It will drill evenly and accurately one seed at a time
like this;
thus making chopping and cultivating easier and cheaper.
Drills thick or thin as wanted.
2nd. It will drill the seed in spaces like this:
• •••• •••• ••••
This spaced drilling saves seed and fixes the distance for
thinning. t>
3rd. It will drop the seed in hills like this: .
* - * • « * *
The number of seed to the hill and the distance can be
easily regulated.
We have a stock of Genuine Oliver Turn Plows and
Middle Busters, repairs and parts for old or new makes.

MR. BLEDSOE SPEAKS
AT CHAPEL PERIOD.
Reverend Bledsoe gave a most
interesting talk, to the student
body and faculty, at the regular
chapel period. Wednesday morn
ing, he left with us many beautiful
thoughts, among which was that
concerning the art of controlling
the temper. Of course, as he stat
ed. everyone should have some
temper or he is practically no good,
but, he is even more worthless if
he has temper and lets it get the
best of him. Therefore, everyone
should use his temper to a certain
extent, but always be sure that he
can control it when necessary.

Dutch Weather
Prophet Gives The
Spring Forecast
(Columbia State. March 19.)
The annual spring forecast ot
precipitation and other conditions
affecting especially crop prospects
for 1930, usually made about this
time by the Dutch Weather Prop
het, must be in condensed form, he
said yesterday, due to the fact that
he has been a shut-in for six
weeks on account of the accident
that befell him when he broke his
leg.
Excessive rainfall for a number
of years has ruined many crop
prospects. The Dutch Weather
Prophet says he doubts that within
the past 100 years has the quantity
of precipitation been exceeded,
especially in 1929 and 1930. He does
not remember anything of the
kind occurring within 60 years to
exceed it. However, Old Probabili
ties is about as correct in his work
as anyone and the quantity of
rainfall since the drought of 1925
has been necessary for nature to
bring abput normal conditions and
supply the strata of water in the
earth with their usual amount.
No serious overflows in the riv
ers will occur this year.
Thus in 1930 rainfall will be
much reduced as compared to last
year. Precipitation will be season
al for the majority of crops in the
Southeast and the year will be the
most favorable for agriculture gen
erally in this respect since 1920.
The Dutch Weather Prophet
says he regrets that a forecast of
the prospects for the fruit crop
cannot be very definite. Two op
posing elements enter this an
alysis—one of which was unfavor
able and being shut in, he has not
been able to make a full observa
tion so that he could be able to
say that the other element was
entirely favorable.
However, th^ fruit crop is not
entirely “out of the woods,” as this
week will decide. The conditions
refer especially to the peach crop,
which was injured severely by the
low temperatures early in March,
yet no doubt not all of it was kill
ed even then when the mercury
dropped so low in an unfavorable
period. The period of March 14-21
is more favorable for fruit than
that period, however.
Snow will no doubt occur this
week in northern latitudes and
any snow flurries or even any
quantity—in this section will not
be destructive of fruit.
The late Easter this year—April
20—is not indicative of /sold weath
er at that time. / . -
(P. S.—A newspaper .man wno
promptly called to/»ee me while T" -
was a week in tiJ hospital re

that in breaking my leg when I
fell upon the ice I slipped up upon
some of my own weather—one of
the snows which my forecast of
October, 1929, had indicated.—D.

other Southern States have shown
that spraying with Bordeaux mix

4 weeks, beginning in May and
ending in July will control it when
done properly with efficient spray

Unfortunately, some of the fin
est varieties are susceptible. This
is especially true of Schley, per

in the South. The Department of

A Great Discovery
When Pasteur discovered, in 1352,
that the infection of wounds was
caused by malignant, bacteria, he per
formed a service of inestitnable value
to mo.nkind. Since then medical science
has been producing better and better
antiseptics, to kill these germs that
may enter the smallest cut and give us
diseases such as typhoid, tuberculosis
and lockjaw. Now, all you have to do to
be sure that these dreadful germs will
not infect a wound, is to wash fhat
wound, however small, thoroughly with
Liquid Borozone, the modern antisep
tic. You can get Liquid Borozone, in a
size to fit your needs and purse, from

i 3. What is McCormick’s greatest
draw back, if any?
4. If you were running the busi
ness of McCormick what wduld
you do to make it the city you
would like it to be?
The answering of these four
questions by a hundred or more
citizens of McCormick will answer
the Question “What do the pponte
who live in McCormick think about
their community;” and you don’t
know, there may be dozens of in
terested parties asking that ques
tion now.
Here is a wav YOU can “Helo

thousands of dollars to McCormick
—and that means nothing less
than money in your pocket. You
CAN do this, and it will help morp
than you realize. If you refuse
or fail to do it. that will tell a
i story that COULD cost a los of
I m^nev.
It costs only a two-cent scamp
and very little effort—do that
much for your community. Just
address your answer to she Towm
