Dec. ,22?To make the cotton crop nore certain and to make the weevil crop less certain for 1921, cotton growers should exert ev? ery efTort, even If other work mint he suspended to give right of Way. to destroy millions of weevils Just as soon as possible after picking is finish? ed by cleaning up the old 1920 cotton stalks and other trash around in the field. This is the advice of the entom? ologists of Clemson College. Weevils are almost entirely depen? dent upon cotton for feeding and breeding. Aftr the crop has matured, tho late growth of squares (forms), blooms and young bolls makes a 1 breeding placo for the weevil. In old I infested fields it Is a common sight to] find from one to six weevils on each growing plant in the field. This means that from 5.000 to 25.000 weev? ils per sere may be found at the time of the first killing frost. It is a well established fact that weevils devel? oping late in fall are those which are moat likely to pass the winter safely. It is therefore extremely Important, j that this late weevil development be | prevented as far as possible. Most of the weevils continue to feed and breed as long as green cotton is to be found in fields. When the find killing frost occurs, most weevils seek protection from the cold by finding shelter in any lud of rubbish in or around the cotton fields as a place In which to pass the winter in the dor? mant state. This dormant condition is spoken of as hibernation. Nor* mally. the WOOVflS do not fly very far from the cotton fields tor hibernation. Th emost favorable conditions for the weevil to pasj the winter successfully are found In thore fields in which the COtton stalks, dead grass, weeds, f?l? len leaves and other rubbish, oom monly found in fields where no ohan Ing up Is done until spring planting time, are allowed to remain. Experiments have shown that whin conditions have been made unfavor? able by cleaning up the fields for the hibernation, as low as a fraction of one per cent of weevils succeeded in penvjltsg the wlntor? while on tho other hand, where fields have been left undisturbed during fall and winter, as high us 40 to 50 per cent of weevils passed ihe winter aucessfully. The earlier the stalks are destroy? ed and the fields cleaned by burning or turning render ail rubbish, cleaning ditch banks and fence corners, dirty orchards and pasture lots and Waste lands adjoining the cotton field, tin smaller the damage will be to the next \ ear's crop. Will yon cIioomc In destroy the weevils In the fall or have them de? stroy your crop next season? I.csa Emigration from Ireland. Dublin?

FARMERS, HOLD YOUR SEED 1 have just returned from a con* fere ice of cotton seed < rushers and dealers at Memphis, It developed a* tlii.- meeting that. based on the gov? ernment's statistics as of December ist, there was in sight, including the oil und meal then in the hands of the g 'lid, only enough oil to last four months or until March 81, and meal to last two months or until January 31, under normal consumption, This In . Into of the much-advertised Hood of orients! oiN that it I*. outlined has Caused the unprecedented decline In cob on seed oil. The conclusion of the deliberations Wgfl that the decline has been alto gctl er speculative due to buyers atay OUt of the market because sell eis were offering too freely. It WSS stated tUat crude mills, on buying two hundred to is of seed, would Nnmo d.i ? y offer a tank of oil, and not rest. Until U was sold at any price obtain? able; that buyers would then offer less; thaf wholesalers and jobbers who usually buy lard compounds I? lotr of several cars have pursued a policy of buying one truck load Of 8,000 pounds at a time. It also de? veloped that, in the face of the much advertised importations Of cheap oriental soy. peanut an.I copra oils. I Und of the hand-to-mouth buying de? scribed shove, stocks In this country on August 1st were less than a year ago, and have steadily declined until on December 1st. the supply would only last four months. It also developed that only 3." per ! Oent Of the geed mis been crushed Ioonrpsred with 80 per cent last year; 'and when the word "crushed" was UsSd, Its meaning was "in . the hands of the mills." It was also brought out that the great bulk of the seed crushed or In the hnnds Of the mills is in the lila? si aippl valley and west of the river. Where the farmers do not use fer? tiliser. Further, that SO per cent to 90 per I cent of the mills ail over the belt arc shut down for lock of seed. { With these facts before me. all ! based on government statistics and [brought out by the mills, I stated that 1 fell very optimistic for better prices, land was firm in my belief that farm ? era will continue their present policy of not selllug, and will use seed as fer UlgOf unless a fair und equitable ,y>d Is ottered In the near future. UnHse some of my farmer-friends jwho believe evil and only evil of cot I ton oil mills (and 1 might add, of | Cotton mills), 1 bellevu the mills are jreally anxious to pay a good price I for reed. They certainly cannot make money for their stockholders unless [they can crush seed at a profit; anl the-: cannot crush seed at a profit It the market constantlv declines fod the products of seed. Recognizing as jl dO that the oil mills of the south Ihave added many millions of dollars to the value of the cotton crops r>f t'n. htiuth, I do not want to see them put out of business. Hut I do not i rget that, by making cotton sosd more liquid than cotton, thousands or farmora have sold their seed and dis? sipated their money, and have not treated their sot) with common fair I is* when tho seed money was not! put hack Into fertilizer?and that in i either event, they have paid heavy! tods to the fertilizer companies--I Can but see In this slump In seed a ! bl ^sing in disguise If it leads to more rare furming. Jn addition to whut I learned In Memphis, 1 talked with farmers and peed crushers on the trains, and had a bng interview with officials of the IOcorgis Bureau of Markets In Atlan? ta. However, much I may wish to e the mills prosper, my first duty is [to the farmer. His basis of value is fertiliser and an equity in the oil. Ho robs himself and his soil unless he ^ets a price that will enable him. to put lack in the soil an equal val ue of fe rtilizer phis the coat of haul? ing the seed ami fertilizer to and from his station. The American Cot* ion association in September figured this to be $Td) p r ton for seed or an even swap'of seed for meal at the farmer's station. While other com? modities have declined, my informs lion is that fertilizer comimnies have held up the price and will continue to do s<?. ? And 1 say to you do not sell a seed I for less than $&o per ton or a ton of J meal for a ton of seed at your station. I If you stand firm right on as you have done, and the first good plowing weather in January begin to haul out and put your seed in the furrows. Ke? hners wit] see that you mean business and will begin to bid up oil. the feed ( i ?fwill begin to bid up meal, the crude mills will begin to have relief, and by February 1st will be paying you $.*0 for seed or givinrr you an even swap. If not. go on using the seed, I and let a world that belittles your product, do without. If you further Will see the future In South Carolina as T see it from the 'information i have gathered from I Oeprgia, Alabama, Mississippi. Lou? isiana, and Arkansas, you will cUt your cotton crop to the point where you can own and control i?, whether Ithnt be a half crop or less; and will absolutely stay out of the fertllli fr market until fertiliser prices get on ? parity with cotton, and not buy at all If that time does not come so you msy put your fertilizer down before planting* and plant early to beat I he Isel Weevil. if you will do the ;o things, there is a brighter day before us. and a real prosperity will be' budded on the dletress and expei'U eiiuo of the present, li we do not, then I see more years of agricultural slavt ry In the future. Remember that i told you in Js i? luary, February, and .March. 1818, st? ier each conference in Washington, to i tid firm for the stabilised price or hold until the ncXI season; and ) hi gi the prtee and more if you held.

This is In s small ?ras attrlbutaWo to the ad? uTtlon to the Constitution of some dry reading matter. In still greater part it is because the International opaoo ?Ion for celebrating whenever Father Time takes .1 freah start ii> piloting the earth around the sun is thousands of years old. The manner of obaerv. ing the day has changed greatly through the centuries. The urge to give presents at hast once u year was fell even before Christmas and Santa Claus came Into the ache me of things, and the enetent Greeks, Chinese. Egyptians and Rom? ans tendered their gifta to one anoth? er on the first day of the year. Kings got into the habit *>f rveelving extra gifts from their subjects on these davs and liked it so well they began ex? torting lalrger &nd larger sums. This practice got so had in Home under the Caesars that Claudius called 0 halt. It spread to other countries, how? ever, and the English had their New Year's celebration spoiled annually by rapacious sovereigns until Queen Elizabeth s modest demands of her subjects cut gifts down to a minimum. In those days the celebration of New Year's Day had become worldwide. With variations to suit all nationali? ties, it consisted everywhere of eat? ing, drinking and motley merriment. Christopher Columbus, so far as is known, was the first white man to ju? bilate on New Year's Day in-the Wes? tern Hemisphere. While hi? ships were undergoing repairs on January 1, 1493. he enjoyed a sumptuous din? ner with two savage monarchs on the island of Haiti. After this meal, his? tory says, the discoverer of America had his first smoke of tobacco. Whether he enjoyed it is not record jed, but he left It to a later generation. IMr Walter Raleign is generally credit? ed, with the function to introduce to? bacco in Europe. The Pilgrim Fathers and the first families of the older states of the uni? on enjoyed a quiet holiday as each year came around. They feasted, but not unttj they had attended religious serlvccB. In the 19th century people with big houses and flowing side? boards held open house on New Year's day and from all over friends came afoot, on bicycles and in surreys and stanhopes to pay short visits and sam? ple the contents of wine cellars. Then they went off to call on other friends Popular maidens in those days wit? nessed traffic jams in front of their homes, so prevalent was the penchant for sort calls on young women du? Ing the afternoon of the year's first day. This custom began to pans out quietly with the dawn of the '.:Cth century, automobiles, and cabarets. It was succeeded by "nothing but wine" habits amid the thousands who frequented cafes and grill rooms in cities on New Year's Eve. To l?revent Devastating Floods. Asheville. N. C.
