The loud-speaking telephone is J
said to be giving the radiophone a j
hard race for popularity. That's j
perfectly satisfactory to most of I
us as long as it doesn't mean an i
increase in the number, of loud
speaking telephone-users, whose
unpopularity now stands in a class
by itself. "
There are people who appear
never to. grasp any of the scientific j
principles of the miracle of the;
telephone. They retain to the end !
the idea that they must shout loud ;
enough to project their voices, as j
through along tube, to the distant
listener. The fact that the other:
party rarely understands them [
without numerous repetitions never ;
gj&ts to .them. Neither does the]
fact that it is a painful thing to j
be close to a receiver from which j
the harsh and scratchy shouts j
emerge.
Here is a matter to which the na- ?
uon, might well devote a special j
week, putting on a big drive against j
.peaking into telephone transmit-]
? ters with more forcefulness then j
courtesy.

ECBOPEAN I-Kp>THBKS
Lloyd-George, in his capacity of
s^pef-plremier. is now engaged with
the problem of national frontiers,
and with good reason. Most of
the wars ;a history have started
over territorial disputes. From
precedent, then. Europe is surely
full of the s,eeds of new wars.
As Lloyd George told the corre
spondents at Genoa the other day.
there is not a border line from the
Baltic to the Black Sea that is ac
cepted hgrall Europe. So the boun
dary, problems have to be taken
up at ?libroa, in spite of the sup
poscd jrP?e against "political" sub
jectf-,. b|c^&'se they are fundamen
tal to- j?ie peace of Europe and
therefore, fundamental to economic
reconst*u*3aNm.
It is "doubtful, though, whether
anything final can be accomplish
ed ar<Jenea. The boundary quar
rels affect* too many nations and
are too*-^tfrnphcated. What could
be dom>, presumably, would be to
turn them over in a body to some
rcognized.tribunal.with leisure and
authority to handle them.
There is The Hague' Tribunal,
though it does not amount to much
now.. There is the new World
Court established by the League
of Nations, which is doubtless
competent. There is the League
Council, too. The League
now embraces nearly all the Eu
ropean nations except Germany and
Russia, which are the two biggest
troublemakers, actual and potential.
From this distance it looks like the
logical thing to take the remaining
outsiders into the League, and
then let that body handle the
boundary disputes. It was for such
work that it was created, and its
most effective work so far has been
along that, lino. \
COURTEOUS MOTORING
It is generally recognized that
courtesy and safety in motoring
are closely allied. For this reason
much current safety instruction
[ takes the form of establishing rules
fof courtesy for the highway. An
eastern paper recently offered eight
suggestions for the approval of J
motoiisls.
These rules include such mat
ters as permitting a car to pass
one from fh? rear without assum
ing that the driver ot the swifter
car is looking for a race. It is
possible that he is on important
business. Another point is fair
ness in keeping to one's own share
of the road so that no other car
neeA be crowded Or inconvenienced
?hnecessarily. Stealing a parking
place by pushing in just as another
diver is preparing to back in, or
by shoving some one else's car
along the curb to jRiake room for
one's own, is regarded as discour
teous. Cutting directly in front of
ja car one has just passcl, honking
continually when halted necessari
ly in a traffic jam and omitting or
giving hand signals carelessly are
all discourteous.
These little matters of courtesy,
if omitted, open the way for all
sorts of accidents, both minor and
serious. The thoughtfulness. and
caution needed in their observance
make for careful driving and in
spire good wi$ in other drivers
met on the road.
This is the deadly chain of facts
with regard t? Ri?s?a:,
The Soviet government is now in
the saddle. It has established it
self with a good deal of strength
and is npt to be ligjitly overthrown.
Nor is there, any use ip overthrpw
! ing it until something better is
j ready to take its place.
j There cap be nothing better to
take its place until the Russian
people themselves are thoroughly
awak? to what ails them, and to
*its remedy.
While whole provinces of Rus
sians arc ?tarvihg because they
cannot ( run enough^ trains, over
enough rails, with enough locomo
tives that will run, Tand enough
cars that will hold things, and
! enough trained crews to run the
! Locomotives and look after the
cars, there is' not much prospect
of th3 Russian people as a whole
waking up and. taking a hand in
their government.
The Soviet officials have not suc
ceeded in organizing the Russian
people to the point where they can
take care of their own affairs, and
they dertainlr cannot organize or
help themselves while under the i
present Soviet government.
Obviously, aid must come from
.. > c ... - . . ? . ... .
outside Russia. When such aid has
i been furnished so that trains can
i uii, and agricultural machinery
can be transported, and industries
can be operated with some degree
Of success then a fed and clothed
and housed Russia can begin to
use its head along political lines.
: That, briefly, is the great reason
j why the powers have deemed it
necessa' v to offer aid in such quan
j tities. on the condition that their
! nationals and their property shall j
! be protected while advancing the j
j assistance.
PRIVATE ARMIES
There is a great to-do in West
Virginia just now. over the trial
1 of the miners charged with treason
t as a result of their armed opera
] tipns last summer. There are hun
dreds of defendants, and thousands
j of witnesses have been called. The
'case will probably drag along for
several months. It may be safe,
too. to hazard the guess that, be
cause of its very magnitude and
intricacy and the vigor with which
it is being fought, it will get no
where, as far as actual completion
and concrete punishment of of
fenders is concerned.
The ca^e, nevertheless, may be
worth while because of the public i
ty it gives to the whole situation
in that coal region. With sufficient
public education on the subject,
.there in ay cpme a V> tter recogni
tion of fundamentals than there
seems to have been so far. It is
quite likely that last year's armed
outbreak of miners was of less im
portance than the conditions which,
rightly or wrongly, produced that
outbreak.
What the miners had. and the
thing for which they are now being
prosecuted, was a private army.
Whether organized to resist
wrongs real or imaginary, private
or public, private armies cannot be
tolerated in any civilized country.
Whether treason or not. it is in
tolerable just the same. But what I
the thinking citizen wants to know j
is why any group of people in this
country should consider it neccs- j
sary to raise and operate a private
army, and how the conditions
causing such rash action can be
remedied. While the lawyers are
arguing about law and precedent,
the public may concern itself with
this living problem.

Chicago, May S.?Chicago is the
target for all the surplus wheat in
the western markets. The price
here is relatively the highest.
Every effort is being strained to
get wheat to Chicago for May de
livery. Cash interests are buying
the cash wheat and selling the May
and scattered longs are selling out
while a few of the. most aggres
sive local traders are trading in
and out on the May having suf
ficient prestige to create the im
pression that they are working for j
che leading short interests. For the \
present the general trade has be- !
come somewhat discouraged on the j
long side over the slow disap-;
pearance of wheat and the limited 1
export and milling demand. Ap- !
parently foreigners have bought
enough wheat to relieve t their im- [
mediate wants.
Crop prospects have improved
and with other, conditions sur
rounding the wheat trade, have les
sened the confidence of scattered
holders as regards a big advance
at once. It is possible, however,
that the trade may have too large a
line of shorts out and should any
thing happen to start a buying
mo\ement, prices might advance
sharply. Corn is passing into good
hands prices held well last con
sidering the break in wheat.

COW TALK
BY C. \Y. SCHMOLKE
Is Dairy Farming Profitable?
The same, cow in the hands of
different men would give vastly
different results and few of those
who fail to make a. profit from
them would he wise enough to ad
mit that the fault lay in the treat
ment administered.
A great many of the failures in
South Carolina arc due to the neg
lectful manner in which cows are
treated, especially during the win
ter months. The writer ha*, seen
score:-; of good cows starved until
they were nothing but skin and
bone, while if they had been prop
erly fed all the time, could have
been paying their owners at least
from $10 to $15. per month, besides
rearing their calves. A:.d it is no
uncommon thing to find acres and
acres of good land lying idle while
cows, and in some cases the farm
er's families starved.
If you should happen to ask your
neighbor, if he should be one of
the above type, whether dairy
farming paid, he would certainly
answer in the negative, simply be
cause he has never given the cow
a chance to show what she can
do. He expected the cow to do
certain tilings, while he neglected
to carry out his part of the con
tract.
Dairy farming is .profitable only
if the owner of cows plans well in
advance to have a plentiful supply
of the right kind of feed on hand
for his cows at all times. A half
starved cow cannot produce pro
fitable results.
If you are planning to keep
cows if you already have them, you
should make your plans right now
as to what you arc going to 'sow
for your cows and how many acres
of each crop you should sow.
Some good Bermuda or carpet
grass pasture with a mixture of
Iespedeza should be prepared with
out further delay, and then at
least 1 1-2 acres of velvet beans
and corn should be planted for
each cow, which may be used for
Winter pasture, after sufficient of
the beans and corn have been gath
ered to supply the cows with from
S to 10 pound's of ground corn and
velvet beans for the whole of the.
winter and spring.
Millet, either German or Japa
nese, and teosinthe may still be
sown/for a summer green feed,
while some land should be put un
der rye and barley, about August
for green feed in fall and early
winter. Barley is a splendid green
feed for cows and it grows faster
than rye.
For anyone who has five or six
cows and expects to have from eight
to ten animals to feed during next
winter, it will be a paying propo
sition to erect a 'silo and grow
sufficient corn this summer to fill
that silo. .
- Silage corn should be planted in
rows not more than four feet apart
and closer in the row than if the
corn is to be harvested in the grain
The land selected for the purpose
should te good rich land and
should be well fertilized.
It has been estimated that a silo
holding one hundred tons can be
put up complete for two hundred
dollars. Messrs. "Whilden & Onsrud
near Sumter, put up one last year
for that price.
If you want to beat the boll wee
vil, get "cows, put up a silo, fill it
with corn silage, sow some other
?crops besides and get ready to
have a steady cash income every
week.
If you have not had the .experi
ence and don't know how, come
and see the writer at any time, or
write him, and he will come and
see you and help you solve your
difficulties.
Cows are profitable and the
beauty of the dairy industry is that
it. gives you a steady income all the
time.
About sixty years ago in the
state of Wisconsin, when the price
of wheat dropped so low, that it did
not pay to grow it. the farmers
turned to the dairy cow. and to
day that state is one of the most
prosperous in the union. All be
cause they had faith in the cow
and set to work to give her an op
portunity to siiow what she could
do.
. Just think what an enormously
wealthy country South Carolina
would be if every farmer had
from ten to twenty good dairy
cows. And there is nothing to
prevent their, from having that
number. i-'outh Carolina needs
more cows to supply her own de
mands for dairy products. Here is
indeed a great opportunity for the
farmers of this state.
Are you going to sit still and
bemoan your fate because the
boll weevil and low price cotton are
here, or are you going to do what
is obviously the mo:.i sensible thing
to do, namely, get cows?
If you couldn't fool some of the
people all the time. the world
would soon outgrow the notion that
spinach is a food.

Poultry Notes.
Poultry associations arc study
ing sanitation this month. An
ounce of prevention is the need. In
Lgiving the lesson Miss Atkinson!
{.emphasized the importance., of
{cleanliness. First let's have the
1 premises clean. Every poultry
house and yard should he thorough
ly cleaned now. Houses should he
[sprayed with kerosene or kerosene
cniulsion. or crude oil.' ' Or hum
sulphur using 1 pound to every 90
or 100 square feet. Xests and feed
ing and drinking vessels should be
cleaned and sunned.
1 ter at the rate of one pound of '
j bluestone to one gallon of water,
: Use only wooden, glass, copper, or '?
I earthenware vessels. Place the }
! bluestone in a cloth bag and susr
! pond it for a few hours, just under
I the surface of the water. Then
j siake one pound of fresh stqne
i lime fo-reach pound of bluestone,
j adding enough water to make one
\ gallon for each pound of lime used,
j Thus if you use fpur pounds of ?
bluestone you will have four gal
ions of lime solution.
To prepare the spray for use,
put one quart of the bluestone so- .
lution .and ten quarts of water in
the sprayer tank. Start the pump ?
with a stream, not a spray nozzle,
and with good pressure direct the
stream back into the ta^nk. Then
while the pump-is. running strong,
pour in slowly one quart of the ?
lime solution. Pour the lime water
slowly and let it enter the liquid
j in the tank at the same point where
Keep clean chicks both internal-1 the bluestone spray is being .pump- \
ly and externally. Potassium per-! ca in. This insures quick and
manganate in the drinking water
is good. Proper feeding and clean
liness make a flock much less sus
ceptible to diseases. Lice and mites
should not be tolerated. Many in
sect powders are good but we be
lieve that sodium fluoride is the
best obtainable.. Tobacco in the
nests is good. Flocks shouid be
looked over . carefully before hot
weather .comes.
Should disease set in kiil and,1
thorough mixing. After the mix
ing ts Complete, continue to pump
the solution back into itself for a
minute or two. Give careful at
tention to straining.
Do nor use muddy water. Well
water is better than warm stream*"
or tank water.
Spray as soon as the dilution is
made, since it should be applied
while fresh: - >
Another way for mixing the so
burn the first. Government but] lution is this: Add 3 quarts of wa
ter to 1 quart of biuestone stock
solution and 3 quarts of water, to
1 quart of lime stock solution.
Pour these together slowly and stir
vigorously all the while. (For
large quantities of spray material /
increase the two solutions by any
equal number of gallons desiredL'
If one ounce of arsenate of lead
powder (or two ounces of arsenate .
of lead psate) is added to this so
lution, it becomes highly effective in
destroying chewing insects. A lit
tle more than a teaspoonful of nic
otine sulphate added to# S quarts
of the mixture will be effective
against sucking insects.
Dusting.
For caterpillars, beetles, and
other chewing insects poison .pow
der applied with force is one of
the easiest and most effective means
letins: Mites. Lice and Cleanliness,
and Important Poultry Diseases
should be in the hand;- of every
poultry man.
Some home remedies which have
been given us:
Cholera.
1 pound copperas,
1 oz. sulphuric acid,
1 gallon water.
Mix and put aside to use in drink
ing water. 1 teaspoonful to 1 gal
lon water.
