The following record of industrial
activity lists items showing invest-
»ent of capital, employment of la-
* bor and business activities and op
portunities. Information from
which the paragraphs are prepared
k from local papers, usually of
fowns mentioned, and may be con-
aidered generally correct.
(Anderson Daily Mail)
Nobody is more interested in
South Carolina than South Caro-
linians and the same may be said
•f other states and their people.
Which is one way of saying it is
primarily “up to us” when it comes
no the matter of putting our state
aut in front.
The Daily Mail subscribes hearti
ly to the move stimulated by Char
leston and Greenville newspapers
la the effect that South Carolin-
jans will help themselves by de
manding and consuming state pro-
•ducts and this newspaper considers
Hie cause worthy of support by the
*otire state press in a “front page”
■campaign in which facts, figures
.*nd arguments may be set forth so
emphatically and persistently that
the public may not only be thor-
<rtiEhly informed but moved to def
inite action.
With this in mind we have sent
m message to Harold C. Booker, sec-
fietary of the South Carolina Press

taken to bring about the full co
operation of all state newspapers
in a drive to stimulate greater pub
lic recognition of the importance of
such action. We feel a campaign
of that type would be timely and
effective as well as of mutual bene
fit. The press of South Carolina
is keenly alive to the public wel
fare, as has been repeatedly dem
onstrated and no better cause
could be boosted than that of
building up a sounder economic
structure by encouraging greater
consumption of the products of
1 farm and factory.
People of this state do not fully
realize just what is produced with
in its bounds, nor are they aware
of the endless chain of gigantic
proportions that can be set in mo
tion by general adoption of the
policy of buying Palmetto goods
wherever possible. We suggest
that the state press association
compile data forwarded by indi-
I vidual papers or as obtained from
j the census bureau or other sources
in order that the state’s economic
picture may be made clear co aews- i
paper readers in every section. '
When an Andersonian buys .vat-
ermelons produced in Allendale, he
is making it possible for the farm
er there to buy cotton goods pro
duced in Anderson. When a Char
lestonian purchases a oedspread
turned out by a mill in Walhalla he
is paving the way for greater em
ployment there and that means a
better market for products of the
Charleston area. The agricultural
and industrial outputs of this state
are so varied that a great bulk of
the needs of most people could be
supplied without going outside the
borders of the commonwealth.
What is lacking is the conscious
demand for South Carolina goods,
the spirit that will make the buy
ers realize chat they are getting
more than just what they pay for
because they are helping co raise
the general economic level of cheir
city, section and state.
There has been enough kicking—
too much—about general condit
ions. The only thing to do is to
take. definite action and no better
■ -y .
action could be taken than in unit
ing to help each other. South
Carolinians will determine what
South Carolina shall be and if
South Carolina money goes out in
a steady ^-ream to New York, Cali
fornia, Illinois and other states for
goods that could be obtained from
the mills or farms here the answer
may well be imagined. It is a
fundamental problem and one that
will be worth solution.

The cotton crop’s worst enemy is
on the rampage this year. .Weather
conditions have been ideal for the boll
weevil, with the result that the crop
is in danger of one of the heaviest of
all weevil attacks.
In ordinary years only about six
out of every hundred weevils hibernat-
irg in the winter are alive in the
spring. Cold winter weather is re
sponsible for a heavy mortality, where
as mild weather, like the winter this
year, is invariably followed by a severe
infestation. Another factor we have
to contend with this year is the like
lihood of a wet summer, following two
bone-dry summers in succession. A
cold, damp season always produces the
most favorable conditions for the mul
tiplication of the weevils.
It has been estimated that the pos
sible number of descendants of one
pair of weevils surviving the winter
could be 12,755,100 in the course of
one season. The female lays an aver
age of four eggs a day and a total of
about 140 during her life. It takes
only two to three weeks from the time
an egg is laid until a mature wepvil
appears.

common application is 100 to 2C0
pounds of Chilean nitrate per acre im
mediately after chopping. The nitrate
forces the crop so that a large number
of the bolls are set before the weevil
is able to do its worst damage.
By keeping the crop growing at
full speed all summer, a side-dressing
makes it possible to produce cotton
profitably under boll weevil conditions.
Early Fast-Growing Cotton
Safer From Weevil Ravages

This picture shows the advantage of forcing cotton as a means of getting ahead of
the weevil. The plant in farmer’s right hand was taken from rows side-dressed with
Chilean nitrate, while one at left received no side-dressing. The contrast is also
apparent in the rows where the men tire standing. * 4
Realizing that the weevil is here
to stay, planters have developed meth
ods to grow cotton in spite of him.
Improved seed, early planting, and a
side-dressing of quipk-acting nitrogen
have made it possible to speed up the
crop so that the bolls are set before
the weevil Is afcle to do its worst
damage.
A crop that grows off slowly is at
the weevil’s mercy, particularly in a
season like this one when there is an
abnormally heavy weevil infestation. A
nitrate side-dressing is cheap and ef
fective insurance this year.

A remarkable contrast. The heavy rows in the rear were side-dresssu with
Chilean nitrate of soda. Thrifty, fast-growing plants like these will set a aeavy
crop before the weevil has a chance to do its worst damage.
The light application of fertilizer
under cotton makes side-dressing the
most necessary thing to be done this
year.
The need for side-dressing cotton is
probably greater than ewer before. Last
year’s crop, which averaged 200 pounds
of lint per acre, removed a tremendous
amount of plant food from the soil,
which means that the present crop,
with little or no fertilizer under it.
started the season under a serious
handicap. Everything points al-o to
a heavy boll weevil infestation, as a
result of the mild weather of last
winter.
Side-dressing with quick-acting ni
trogen will supply the p ! ant food the
crop lacks and help it to get ahead
of the weevil. The method most farm
ers follow is to use 100 to 200 p vjnds
of Chilean nitrate per acre as soon
as the crop is chopped. The young
plants take up the nitrate as soon
as it is applied, with the result that
growth is speeded up and the crop
is set before the weevil has reached
its most destructive stage.

Commencement
Exercises At Mc
Cormick School
gunday morning the Rev. Leon T.
Pressly preached a forceful bac
calaureate sermon to the graduat
ing class and a large audience at
the high school building. A chorus
accompanied by Miss Louise Collins
rendered vocal selections.
Class day exercises were held
Monday morning. ’* Much enter
tainment was afforded by the
prophecy revealing the future ies-
tiny of each senior.
A capable cast directed by Miss
Lillian Langley presented Monday
evening the senior play. “One
Minute of Twelve.” Despite It
many complicated and rediculou
situations the play evolved Into a
very happy and satisfying denoue-
! ment.
Tuesday evening at the com
mencement finals diplomas and
certificates were awarded jo thirty-
six seniors. Mr. A. H. Ward of
Aiken delivered a very inspirin?,
address.
I COLUMBIA, May 26. — Ten
“Don’ts” for increasing careful
driving will be printed on the back
of each envelope containing a 1933
license tag, W. V. Sutherland, di
rector of the motor vehicle division
of the state highway department,
announced.
1—Don’t pass on hills or blind
curves—you might just as well be
blindfolded. |
1 2—Don’t challenge the right-of-
way—if in doubt, take no chances.
I 3—Don’t fail to signal all turns—
the fellow behind is no .nind read- 1
er.
i 4—Don’t cut corners—that’s the
other fellow’s territory and he
might claim it.
5— Don’t cut in sharply after
passing—the driver you pass hates
the ditch as much as you do.
6— Don’t weave all over the high
way—your half of the road is on
the right.
7— Don’t come to sudden stops
without signaling—rear end crash
es are costly.
8— Don’t lag in traffic—you have
no right to delay those behind.
9— Don’t take a chance with
faulty brakes or tires—it’s a saving
you’ll regret.
10— Don’t be reckless at any time
—you endanger not only your own
life, but the other fellow’s as well.
The “Don’ts” were drafted by
Keith Legare, highway safety en
gineer.
Wild turkeys are still found in
some parts of the .south.
