McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOI 'TH CAROLINA Thursday, May 20, 1943 New Boll Weevil Control Methods Florence, May 17.—“If you can’t buy blackstrap molasses to prepare the 1-1-1 mopping mixture, or if 'he cost of the molasses seems a bit too high for your pocketbook, you can still mop your cotton and rxpect approximately the same degree of boll weevil control as if you used the molasses”, F. F. JBondy and C. F. Rainwater, U. S. r ). A. entomologists at the Pee Dee Experiment Station, stated here •oday. * Small scale experiments have * ''own that one-half pound of Notice " V Street Tax was due May 1st, rll male persons between the r ge^ of 21 and 55 are liable. The last day for payment is May 31st, nfter that date a penalty of 50 cents will be added. J. O. PATTERSON, Clerk. CITATION OF LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION corn starch, or one pound of wheat flour, or one pound of dry paste (such as is used for hang ing wallpaper) is equal to one gallon of blackstrap molasses in j making the mopping mixture. Either of these amounts should be mixed with two gallons of water and one pound of calcium arsenate to produce a mopping mixture similar to the regular 1-1-1 mixture. If starch is used it should first be boiled in the water and allow ed to cool before the calcium ar senate is added. Flour or dry paste can be mixed directly with cold water and calcium arsenate without difficulty. All of these mixtures are simi lar to the regular 1-1-1 mixture in mopping characteristics and have produced results comparable to the 1-1-1 mixture in control ling the boll weevil, the entomol ogists said. These mixtures should be ap plied at the same rate as the regular 1-1-1 mixture. rrfATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Countv Of McCormick. BY J.

MACHOLD Handling Of Point In ventories; Changes In Point Values Retailers and wholesalers of pro cessed foods should be advised that all items that have been re duced to zero point value, cr re moved from the processed foods rationing program, should be treated the same as any other change of point values for inven tory purposes. For example, spinach 2 1-2 can size was cut from 21 points to* 19 points, a reduction of 2 points net. If the retailer had 100 cans of spinach on hand, his inventory accordingly should be reduced 200 points.

Box 521 Elberton, Georgia WE SPECIALIZE IN MARKERS, MONU MENTS AND COPING (Tliis week’s column was not written by Lytle Hull but by William F. Machold, Executive Director, United States Commis sion of Inter-American Develop ment.) To implement the Good Neigh bor policy our government is fos tering, planning and guiding ac tion through governmental, semi- governmental and private agencies towards the economic development of this hemisphere. This co-operative joint approach of government and private enter prise will continue since not only in the United States but also in the other American* republics, the Good Neighbor policy is becoming widely accepted as nonpartisan and strongly supported by busi ness. Sound economic develop ment must be bread in its scope, including such directly, related fields as education, housing, nu trition and sanitation, for its practical objectives rest on the a- chievement of greatly increased per capita purchasing power es sential for greater trade and “good business.” It is to the enlighten ed self-interest of all the Amer ican republics that these aims be fulfilled. By no means is the road to wards this goal an easy or a short one. It calls for intelligence, pa tience, hard work. “Pet” projects will have to be re-examined real istically by their sponsors in the light of their economic feasibility; exploitive, quick turnover, “adven ture” schemes are unwelcome, and not only the United States but j also many of the other American ( :epublics will have grave problems to solve in the conversion of war production to peace time uses and outlets. It is natural that in the midst Looking for Zeros in Far North & #i of war, the role of government in the implementation of the Good Neighbor policy should be the dominant one. Long before Pearl Harbor the United States aided the other American republics through stabilization loans, Ex- poit-Import Bank credits for needed capital goods which were delivered, and the carrying out of a policy to purchase from them raw materials for our then ex panding defense effort as well as merchandise we had formerly bcugtit in Europe. Since Pearl Harbor our government has per force concentrated on developing maximum production of vital war materials, including copper, tin, tungsten, rubber, quinine and fi bers. Closely allied with these activ 4 - ities are health and sanitation, food production, highway, rail road, and air transportation de velopment and rehabilitation ope- 1 rations, not only of great impor tance now but with potentially pro found effect in the post war pe riod as nuclei factually demon strating to the peoples of the other American republics significant op erations which they can carry on and expand. Most of these activ ities stem from the Rio confer ence which, although it met in the dark days of the Japanese drive into the South Pacific, neverthe less foresaw the inestimable value of hemispheric unity as a great spiritual and material reservoir cf the highest .importance in the bat tle for victory ever the Axis. The contributions of our Allies in the Western hemisphere are a sub stantial weight in the scales of the world struggle, and as members of the United Nations they will par ticipate in the postwar adjust ments which will inevitably fol low. The partnership basis for our participation may well be taken as a basic assumption deserving of much consideration now.

Inventories must be taken by retailers, wholesalers and pro cessors whenever point values are changed, and a record of the point loss should be kept on file at the place of business. No ap plication should be made to the Local Board for replacements of points “lost” due to lowered point values. By the same token, whenever point values are increased, the gain should be recorded. To date, increases have been few. Over a period of time, however, increases will probably be as numerous as decreases. Retailers are net required to surrender to the Local Board points gained through increases in point values. Maid of Cotton Quints Pose With Mother at Launching Buy Your Furniture From J. S. STROM Easy Payment Plan. No tarrying Charge. McCormick, S. C. Feed Crop Situation Serious, Says Woodle Clemson, May 15. — Locally grown feed for local livestock and the saving of planting seed for all farm crops are two most im portant ' considerations in wartune feed crops production in South Carolina, H. A. Woodle, Clemson extension agronomist, said here to day. The increased number of dairy and beef cattle, hogs, and poultry on South Carolina farms must be adequately and properly fed, otherwise our livestock production will suffer, as will our contr bu tton to winning the war, ..lr. Woodle continued. There is a serious shortage of all feeds, particularly p: v in feeds. The supplies of hay c id «?n>in feeds nre inad o qua' present, and the situation could easily oecome critical. Tra r- tation and distribution far ies are overtaxed now, and nex .all or next spring the situation lay be worse than it is now. • r ’ ich an outlook makes it impr ;tive that each locality and each i idi- vidual farm grow as much as possible of the feed needed by the livestock in that locality or on that farm. In order to be sure that his livestock will be properly fed. a farmer must plan to produce the necessary grain, hay, annual grazing, and pas- The 1943 Maid of Cotton, Miss Bonnie Beth Byler, 22, of Lepanto, Ark., shows still another use for cotton daring her 20,000-mile tour for the cotton industry.

Under present condition he cannot afford to depend upoi buying the feed which his live stock must have.

If he fails to harvest and properly store and protect his planting seed, the farmpr may not be able to do his part in producing the food and feed needed for winning the war.

The award for ’.943 will be made early in 1944. “The Extension Service feels hat this award will contribute o cur regular cotton improve ment program,” says Extension director D. W. Watkins. “Because of lateness of the offer, no award /as made for 1942, although many of the counties showed progress in developing a county orogram, some of these being Bamberg, Pickens, and York.” Necessary rules and regulation's for making the award will bo worked out by the Extension Ser vice. Some of the important points which will be considered in making the award are as fol lows. 1. The stage of development ol a definite cotton improvement, with special emphasis on ore- variety production by communi ties or counties. 2. Percentage of cotton far: -, ms and ginners actively participating in a program for one-vari .y production. 3. Percentage of cotton acr -'je planted to pure seed of the a- dopted variety. 4. Percentage of production which is normal in staple length for 'the variety. 5. Percentage of the cotb showing proper preparation a: harvesting. 6. Percentage of farmers pa ticipating in the cotton conte using pure seed direct from t breeder, and completing records.
