Save Winter Greens
From The Plant Lice
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Dec. 5.—
For plant lice, or aphids, which
are making: serious inroads on
turnips, cabbage, broccoli, and oth
er vegetables in the coastal area
and to a less extent over the en
tire state, use “Black Leaf 40” and
a continuous 'supply of winter
greens may be protected if control
measures are applied promptly,
says Alfred Lutken, extension en
tomologist.
“In ‘Black Leaf 40,’ or mcptine
sulphate, we have a contact in
secticide that is effective in either
dust or liquid form.” Mr. Lutken
states. “As a spray it is used at
the rate of one ounce oi ‘uiactc ^eai
40’ and three ounces of soap in
five gallons of water. \ s . es 7
sential to apply witlv sufficient
force to form a fine mist or fog,
and to so direct it that it wni
thoroughly wet all the insects on
the under sides of the leaves.
“On many plants with leaves ly
ing close to the ground, nicotine
dust will give better control, since
it kills partly by fumigation. The
dust should be applied only when
the air is very still and the tem
perature 75 degrees Fahrenheit or
above. Either commercial or
home-mixed dust, containing 2.5
to 3 0 per cent nicotine sulphate,
can be used. Any nicotine dust
that is not used at once should be
tightly sealed and kept in a dry
place. Instructions for preparing
the dust at home may be obtained
from the Entomology Division of
the Extension Division.”
AMERICA’S WORLD
RESPONSIBILITIES
By H. J. HAAS
President American Bankers Association
ll/E are in a changing world, with
many new financial problems for
which we have no precedents, and
many old prob
lems which have
so changed as to
be unrecognizable.
American bankers
have been called
into world affairs
to blaze new trails
of unknown
finance. We'may
expect these calls
to be more nu
merous in the fu
ture than they
have in the past.
We are the
world’s financial leader and we must
accept the responsibility which goes
with it. %
Let us look to the future with con
fidence. Every one has experienced a
great sorrow some time, perhaps so
great we felt v/e could never over
come it, but time is the great healer
and eventually v/e have come out of
it. As it is with individuals, so it is
with nations. Our nation has had
much sorrow ih the 155 years of its
existence. In that time we have
passed through the major depressions
of 1837-1857-1873 to 1879-1384-1893-1896-
1907-1914-1921 and the present.
I venture to state that in each of
these periods there were those w w ho
had doubts of the future just as we
have them today, but v/hat happened
after each depression? Our country
recovered, to be better and stronger
than ever. Its people v/ere introduced
to modes of living they never dreamed
o?, until today, notwithstanding our
depression, we live, on the highest
piano of any nation in the world.
Should v^e not judge the future by
past experience?
Surelv our people are better pre
pared, fmancially and intellectually, to
cope with even greater problems than
they have been in the past, so why not
look to tho fu turG confident that fun
damental social and economic prob
lems will be adjusted satisfactorily?
Confidence is not established by any
one thing but by an accumulation of
things. If v/e can get confidence started
on its way, gathering a little here and
there, it will accelerate its speed as it
goes along. This is not the work of
any one man to perform^but is the
cumulative effort of each and every
one of us. What we are in the future
is-not the result of what v/e have done
on any one day but the result of all
that v.-o have done for all time. The
American Bankers Association is en
deavoring to do its part. Individually
our efforts may not count for much,
but they are part of the whole plan
and taken in the aggregate they
amount to the sum tofal of all our
efforts.

<hey say a dollar
•goes farther thah
IT USED To ; BUT IT
SURE TAKES ITS
Time about- com in
' 8Afe* .
f>OTH In their advertising and In
their direct eontacts with cus
tomers and others, bankers should
“consciously and persistently devote
more time and thought to keeping
people mindful of the fact that while
the bank has many obligations toward
its customers, equally is it true that
the depositor also has certain obliga
tions to the bank to enable it to prop
erly maintain its position in the com
munity,” a recent statement of the
American Bankers Assciation de
clares.
"A bank admittedly is a semi-public
institution and there is a mutuality
of obligation resting upon both the
banker and his customers to maintain
the effective functioning of that insti
tution that is superior to the personal
interests fff either,” it says.
Bankers might well consciously de
vote greater effort to building up the
public viewpoint in their communities
that due to their public obligations
and burden of public interest, the
banks are entitled to protection
against ill-informed or malicious gos
sip and rumors, the statement says.
“As to banks in some states, bank
slander laws afford this protection,”
it points out. “We recommend that
this protection be availed of by definite
action wherever practical both as a
matter of immediate expediency an
also to awaken public opinion as to
the dangers of id’e gossip about a
community’s banking institutions.”
What Can Be Done
Farmers should rid themselves of
any false hope of outside aid from
legislation. The only recourse left for
the producer on a reduced price level Is
to produce his goods at reduced costs,
and nearly every farmer can likely put
into force a few economies in produc
tion. Farmers must produce as largely
as possible the materials they use, and
get away from cash purchases until
prices come down proportionately on
the things they buy. The cheapest
way in the farming business is 4o raise
your own feed and 'not let the other
man get your dollars. — ^

Include in the dairy cow’s grain
