CLEMSON COLLEGE, June 16.— The boll weevil continues active throughout the State, according to reports for the past week from workers of the Boll Weevil Control division of the South Carelina Ex periment Station at Florence. Rapid growth of cotton in central and eastern parts of the state makes weevils more difficult to find, but careful examination by inspectors shows that they are there and are now infesting the squares. In the lower Piedmont and Up per Coastal Plains areas where cot ton is just beginning to square, weevils seem more abundant. Indi vidual farms in Aiken, Chester, and Greenwood counties show 425, 300 and 250 weevils per acre res pectively. Weevils are continuing to come out of the hibernation cages at Florence. Careful search for infested squares should be made in all fields and where evidence of weevil ac tivity is found the poisoning pro gram should be continued. Even where early weevils have been ef fectively poisoned, says Prof. H. W. Barre, director of the Experiment Station, careful watch should be kept and the fields protected against these late arrivals. COLUMBIA, June 18.—A saving of between $400 and $500 a month will result to the city of Bamberg on its power bill as a result of a hearing before the state railroad commission on last Tuesday at which the South Carolina Power Company agreed to give Bamberg the same rate the city of McCor mick has. Bamberg had been striving for more than a year and a half to secure the McCormick rate, claiming that it was entitled to the same under its contract i with the power company. Senator Edgar A. Brown of Barnwell, general counsel of the South Carolina Electric Power Consumers Association, represented the city of Bamberg at the hearing before the commission and after the power company had agreed to make the McCormick rate effective in Bamberg for the remainder of the latter’s contract, Mr. Brown asked the commission to order the company to refund all amounts in excess of what the Bamberg bill would have been, based on the Mc Cormick rate, since September. 1928. The commission ordered v hearing on this matter for July 23 Bamberg had a contract with the Edisto Power Company, which pro vided that it should enjoy a rate as cheap as any city or town turn ished power by that company. Th r South Carolina Power Compaiv bought the Edisto Power Gompair in 1928 and took over the Bambeu contract in September of cha year. At the same time it bough the Georgia-Carolina Power Com pany, which had a contract wit!' McCormick. Learning that the McCormic 1 rate was much cheaper than the ;rate which it was paying. Bam berg appealed to the power com pany a short time later to orde* j the McCormick rate effective ir Bamberg, but had been unable to get the company to agree. Recent ly the Bamberg water and light board joined the South Carolina Electric Power Consumers Associa tion and the case was laid before the railroad commission with the I result that the company agreed, without contest, to grant the Mc Cormick rate. The railroad commission has .ordered a hearing on June 24 on | rates charged in the territory oi j the Carolina Light and Power Company and a large crowd is ex pected for the hearing. *‘The Town Doctor” DOCTOR OF TOWNS SAYS: CLEMSON COLLEGE, June 14.— Alfred Lutfcen of Mississippi, grad uate of the Mississippi Agricultural College, has been appointed exten sion entomologist, succeeding Mar vin H.

X Chapin Talks On Poultry CLEMSON COLLEGE, June 14.— For the poultry short course to be held at Clemson College June 23 t r 27, A. S. Chapin of Greenville Tennessee, has been secured to lec ture on standard breeds. Mr. Chap in is a licensed American Poultr Association judge and is proprie tor of the Greenville Hatcheries. H was formerly extension poultr specialist of the University of Ter nessee for several years before go ing into the hatchery business. H is therefore well qualified to on poultry matters from both thr oretical and practical standpoint' Dr. Rv O. Feeley, head of th* Veterinary Division of the College will discuss sanitation and poultry diseases. A representative of the Livestock Sanitary Department wiT discuss parasites. The regular col lege and extension poultry staf * 1 composed of Prof. C. L. Morgan. Miss Juanita Neely, P. H. Gooding will discuss the various phases oi production—feeding, breeding, in cubation, -brooding, culling, judg ing, and selection. A number of persons have al ready signified their intention to attend this course. Wherever pos- sitie notice should be sent in ad vance to the Poultry Division by those who expect to attend. THERE ARE TOWNS THAT ARE GETTING SOME WHERE It has been my axpedence that the fellow who does the most crab* bing about what his community should have and what the people should and should not do, is the very fellow who DOES the least. Some people are always ready tq come to the party, but they are scarce as hen’s teeth until the show starts, and they are always the first ones to make excuses and leave just in time to get out of paying the fiddler. This kind of people is always ready to TAKE but never w f ant to PUT. If things go right they will take all the credit and shout to the world what a wonderful thing THEY did; but if things don’t pan out one hundred per cent it’s al ways the other fellow’s fault. They would rather pull back than push forward, even though it takes more effort to pull than to push. Sometimes you’ll even find this kind of person in Chambers of Commerce and Lions clubs, but as a rule they are found sitting on the outside of the ball grounds wait ing for a “doer” to knock a fly ball out of the lot so they can get a free ticket for carrying the ball back in. And when they get in, due to some body else’s effort, they are the first ones to give the home team the razzberry the first tough break they get. Every community has a few such people, but some communities are | full of them. They are the people | George Ade referred to when he i uttered the now famous saying, j “about all that some towns need is | a few first-class funerals.” I have often thought that Mr. Ade surely had just gone through an at f erupt to induce some community to THINK about themselves and fol lowing through by DOING some thing for themselves, when he made this remark. There are towns that are going places and getting somewhere. There ARE communities that have come to the realization that be cause their oommunity has always been in existence, as far as the present generation is concerned, is no sign that it will continue to ex ist. Such communities can “take telling,” and are doing just that. They are alive—they think, feej and act. They are the towns that are growing, where business is good and fast getting better. The people in these communities are “sold” on their town and “sell” it to others, after getting it ready and suitable for sale; the mer chants work together, go after and GET what they require. Every body who amounts to anything be longs to an up-and-at-’em organ ization which WORKS for the bet terment of the community, and every one of these organizations works with and FOR all the others. YOU know where YOU stand. You know where McCormick stands. I don’t have to tell you, and you don’t have to tell anyor^e else; for all anybody has to do to SEE where you and your commun ity stands is to LOOK at it. (Copyright, 1930, A. D.
