Here they' are eating ttv grass but leaving the cotton,. Mr. Wil? liams, the county agent, has l*een out of town and has just gotten back this morning, so he. hag no informa? tion on the warm as yet One gentleman made a trip from Chesterfield to Sumter through the country yesterday and stated that a great d^al of damage had been done in the section he travelled through as far down as Cam den. He states however that the worm he saw is not i he real army worm but the southern grass worm. This worm does as much damage as the army worm. Mr. Edward M. M (m 'allum brought In the first open cotton bofl that we have seep this season. This cotton was planted the last wee< in March. Mr. McCallum states th*t. the cotton is opeuing out fine and there is no sign o^ the boll weevil in his section. The ermy worm, is again' on the war path and is doing considerable damage In many parts of Riehland county, says J. Rhett Clark. farm demontsration agent. The second crop or egneration are more active than their predecesors. The bent method, advised by the demonstrator Is to head off the worjn with a good deep furrow in his path A "middlebuster' 'or ' koosO straight shovel works best in this Soil. The furrow should be kept open by run? ning through 11 two or three times a lay which will also kill those which hav ? fallen In. Wlieaer this can not be done the plants afflicted should be dusted with calcium araenate or e.r sonate of h ad! A good mnenlne should be secured and plenty of powder to cov?*r the area saffectod. Mrv fthrh say sthis will control the army worm with satisfaction. The pest is sometimes ve ry hard to recognize, y.v. ('lark says, aa it hides in the cotton squures which it bores through gfteir the mnpnet of the boll worn .and for this reason ihe damagi i shard to realise. The pest a'so at? tacks corn, Mr. Clark says, he has OOen l>oth cotton und corn fields. Where th^ro was no grass, in which the worm has dono .much damage.

Rosenblatt, president of the American Zion Com? monwealth, who is now in Palestine in the interests of "Balfouria," the colony of the American Zion .Com? monwealth. Mr. Rosenblatt recommends a reg? ular army organization with a general staff of three which, as a Jewish In? dustrial commission will supervise the work of the Jewish labor army in rebuilding the Holy I^and. "Our b ggest task, oncne the call la issued for volunteers, will be in sift? ing out the applicants and determin? ing upon he 10,000 to go," he said. "They could all be occupied in the one task of bu Iding houses for future Im? migrants. Tho army should work only on land belonging to the Jewish nation lands secured from^trie Palestine gov? ernment, from the Jewish National Fund, the American Zion Common? wealth or other atfecios of the Zionist Organisati in." In addilion to the construction of houses, he points out that such an army would be busied in preparing land for iiinvediate settlement, irriga ton, afforest ration, sanitation and en? gineering vorks lveeessury lor the'de? velopment of induetry and eommerce. "The. nucleus for such an industrial army is already In Palestine in the co opcratve groups, working on the lands of the Jewish National Fund and in the group that is developing "Bal fourla," the ftrst colony! of the Ameri? can Zion Commonwealth," he con? cluded. ' I am convinced after two visits to Palestine that only through such-artige disciplined Jewish labor army, v^Jte we be able, to reconquer the land of our forefathers."

THE TRUE S( POWERS! SUSPIC? IOUS OF JAPAN w? ? Indefinite Handling of Siberian Situation Caues Worry WOULD BE BETTER TO WITHDRAW On Contrary They Are Asked To Fit Out Punitive Expedi? tion Against Reds Tokio, August 4.?Japan's indefi? nite handling of the Siberian situa? tion" is causing, suspicion among the powers, in tht opinior of Marquis Shigenobu Okuma, one of the elder statesmen. Like Clemenceau in r.ntu e, when out of office, Okuma has the reputation of fearlessly crit? icising the men who are running the. government. In an interview Okuma said the rea? son for sending a Japanese army, to Siberia does not seem to be clearly 1 understood by the majority of the people. He acled: "The object of the Sino-.Iapanese war and the Russo-Japanese war as well as the war with Germany were clearry understood by the nation, who worked to attain the ultimate goa with full and manimous accord. As to the Siberian business the Japanese people are as much in the dark as the troops who are fighting the Bolshe? viks on tlvo Siberian steppes." After remarking on the withdrawal of American troops from Siberia, O kuma insisted that If Japan finds it necessary to maintain her troops there the whol e situation should he laid frankly before the powers. He went on: "What the government is doing is not clear and is apt to create the suspicion abroa.l that Japan Is keep her troops in Siberia for ulterior mo? tives. Already blame is directed against US, for the military policy al? leged to be pursued by Japan In the Russian Blastem provinc es. "It would bi? better," he concluded, "for apan to withdraw completely from Siberia. If. pn the other hand, Japan is asked by the powers to fit out a punitive expedition against the Bolsheviks so Eastern Siberia may be cleared of thi*se undesirable <elemets. ? he task shou d be undertaken in real earnest."

Vol. L. i- ol WASHINGTON BETTER To Settle Industrial Than by Lockout WILL CONSIDER VAR1 PLANS SUGGII Councils of Employers and ployees Proving Succe&afi Canada Tacoma, Wash., August 4?Pi is reported in the movement ln>| state of Washington to devise a way to settle industrial disputes through strikes and lockouts. The Washington Industr al Commission for more than a has been gathering data from ployers and employees to her the basis for a new law to be ed to the state legislature v'rwi convenes next January. Tb i Cons] sion was instructed to frame which will settle disputes betw< bor and capital without icsnir; the cumic nome weapons if th?r that so often work a hardship m public : t large. Before the law is writ.cn this the Kommission n'.ans *o give n ing to every person in Washin. who thinks he has a solution and have studied the status of evcy in the union that has attempted better the relations between labor capital. Already hearings have held In most of the larger cities the state and the commission made, special trip to Vancouver, B. where labor leaders and employ* were met and where the Canadiai Industrial Disputes Act was thorough-t ly discussed.
