TO PROTECT BANKS
Columbia, Feb. 6.?The act prohibiting
any person in the State circulating
false reports with intenS to injure
any banking institution in South
Carolina, has been a law since February
3. when it was approved by
Governor Cooper. The act carries a
penalty of from $100 to $500 in fines
or imprisonment of one year, or both,
in the discretion of the trial judge.
The South Carolina Bankers' Association
will offer a liberal reward
for the conviction of any person uttering
or circulating such reports. |
"That any person who shnll fabely
and wilfully and with intent to injure,"
says the act, "circulate any
report, or make any false statement
as the assets on liabilities of any bank
in South Carolina, or to its solvency
or ability to meet its obligations, or
as to assets or liabilities of any bank
any other false statement, calculated
to effect the credit or standing of
said bank, or to cast suspicion upon
its solvency, soundness or ability to
meet its deposits or 4thcr obligations
in due course, shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined not loss
than one hundred ($100.00) dollars,
nor more than five hundred ($500.00)
dollars, or be imprisoned for
not more than ono year, or both, in
the discretion of the Court."
Have you made your tax returns?
The time expires the 20th. Why not
make yours and save the 50 per cent,
penalty.

BEST WAY TO FIGHT BOLL
WEEVIL TOLD BL EXPERT
(Contiued from second page)
eausese the plants to continue uninterruptedly
in their growth. By all
means such operations ajs deep cultivation
and cultivation too close
the plants, which cause shedding
should be avoided. In many instances
a fair crop already set and beyond
danger from the weevil has been lost
by running the plows so very close
that the side roots were cut and the
plants made to shed practically all
upon a number of factors as woll as
on the severity of the infestation. The
soil, climate and many other Important
factors must be considered. In
many localities it is extremely important
to select varieties which arc resistant
to diseases. What is needed is
a variety which will mature quickly
and set a crop at the earliest possible
date. The first effect of the boll
weevil invasion was to force the abandonment
of the longer staple and the
adoption of small boll, early varieties
of very short staple such as King and
its derivitive Simpkins. During re
i:ei|v yearn, nuwever, numerous ouii'r
varieties have been developed to the
point where they are sufficiently early
to mature a crop in the presence of
the weevil and these are being rapidly
adopted. The Triumph variety is one
of the best known for the western
portion of the infested territory.
Among the others which have been
cultivated with success in var'ous localities
are Cleveland Big Boll, Oouk's
Improved, Rowdcn, Toole, Brown,
Lone Star, Trico, Columbia and Wunnaroaker.
"It should be thoroughly understood
that the selection of the cotton
variety is purely a local proposition
and farmers are warned against
the extensive planting, of a new variety
(inerely because it has done well
elsewhere) bfore he has tried it on
a small scSle under his own conditions.
WheneveY possible seed rhould
be obtained frt>m local planters who
have giveh attention to varietal selection.
Varieties introduced from
different sources require several seasons
to adjust themselves to local conditions.
f^lant ay Early a* Climate Will Permit
"Another step to be taken in obtaining
an early cropt and fully as
important as those that have been
mentioned, is early planting itself.
Naturally no set rule can be laid
down as to the proper date for planting.
There is much variation in the
seasons, and sometimes it is impossible
to place the fields in readiness as
early as is desirable. Mucfk of the effect
of early planting is lost unless the
seed bed is in good condition. Rather
than plant abnormally early it would
be better to improve the seed bed. It
is not recommend that planting be i
made at dangerously early dates.
Nevertheless, with proper preliminary
attention to the fields it would be
possible for farmers in most localities
to plant from 10 to 20 days efhdier
than they were accustomed to before
the arrival of the weevil. This, therefore,
is the general recommendation
that is made.
"An important step in procuring
an early crop under many conditions
Is the use of commercial fertilizers. In
many large areas in the cotton belt
the land is not impoverished to the
extent that it actually needs fertilizers
under normal conditions. It has
been demonstrated many tiihes by the
different experiment stations in the
south that the maturity of cotton frequently
can be hastened materially by
the use of fertilizers. On impoverished
soil fertilizers containing a high
percentage of nitrogen give increased
yields under bolt weevil cdnditiOns.
"The proper use of fertilizers is a
very complicated matter. In fact, in

There are the other V
friends to choose from,
results to obtain iho greatest benefit th
from fertilizers at the smallest cost, ih
"The best method by far of build- so
ing up soils so that early crops of cot- th
ton may ba,. produced is the use of pt
legumes planted either with corn or ><
solid. sv
"One feature of the use of fertili". | c i
era which should be carefully consid- j W
ered is their relation to the determin-1 ca
ate growth of the cotton plant. With 1 d
certain varieties and certain soils it | vi
will be found that the plants have a i ai
decided tendency to cease squaring ; ta
about the middle or latter part,of the h<
season and to mature at that time.
This habit has been termed the determniate
growth of the plant. Accord- 0f
ing to when it occurs, this may he an p]
advantage or disadvantage in the w
tight against the weevil. If it occurs
too early it is a decided disadvantage
because this cessation of squaring -p
produces a food shortage which :i|
causes the weevils to attack the bolls <.?.
with abnormal severity. Consequently
it is very desirable to have the cotton rt,
continue squaring long enough to pro- ju
tect the full crop of bolls to maturitv.
After the bolls are safe, however, the td
squares are a liabity rather than an th
asset. \v
Securing a Full Stand i> E*?cntial in
"Many theories have been advanc- u
ed relative to the spacing of cotton rt
in its relation to boll weevil control. C(
Numerous tests have shown the most c,
profitable spacing to vary with the ti
season, soil, variety and numerous tt
other conditions, so it is impossible (>(
to recommend any universal practice, (|,
but it is generally found that the c<
spacing which secures the best results ct
prior to the arrival of the weevil is h<
still best in the presence of the weevil.
However, the general practice in spac- (|<
ing has be.cn exceedingly careless and v.;
as a rule very poor stands are secured.
It is imposible to make a full crop la
of cotton unless sufficient plants are
on the ground and the first step to se- tcure
this result is the adoption of ,,|
more careful methods of hoeing to a cr
stand. or
"During the growing season of the jn
crop the fields should l<e given very of
careful cultivations. Most of Llie^ol

The importance of keeping the
