VALUE OF COMMUNITY COOPERATION IN COTTQN GROWING Clemson College, Nov.? Several years ago the Agronomy Division of ni? n-n 1? ? ?? viciubuii v^uuege realized ine value | of community cooperation in cotton growing and inaugrated work along this line in several counties of the state. The work will be further developed next season, as an aid in fighting the boll weevil. Community cotton growing is the planting of one good variety chosen by the growers of a community and further improvement by seed selection each year. One of the beneficial results to be obtained from this plan is the discarding of inferior verities, or so called varities, which are being grown in South Craloina, and which cause a large part of the cotton crop to be low quality. It is the common belief of many farmers that a variety runs out after having been grown for several years; but if proper seed selection is maintained, the variety should be improved both in yeild and in quality and become adapted to local conditions. The so-called running out of varieties is due chiefly to crossing of varities in fields close together and mixing of seed of different varieties at public gins. These difficulties may be overcom if the growers would adopt one good variety and grow it exclusively. This would result in the production of a more uniform and better quality staple that would sell at a premium, for buyers are fast demanding greater uniformity in length and quality and are willing to pay for these things. Earliness, prolificness, uniformity and length of staple and a high percentage of lint are some of the qualities aoucrht in nroducinir ? ripKirnhle cotton for growing under ,boll weevil conditions. CooperatiTe Growing (.etioni Weevil Damage When many vairties are planted in a community, some are earlier fruited than others and the weevils will have multiplied on the earlier fruiting cotton and immigrate to the later fruiting varities in such unmbers as practically to destroy the crop. f The variety which begins to bloom first is not necessarily the best, for there are three distinct factors in earliness. These factors are (1) time at which cotton begins to bloom, (2) the rapidity with which blooms appear after blooming starts (3) length of time required for fruit toi develop after bloom opens. A great many people' have overlooked the second and third points and have judged the earliness of cotton entirely on the basis of time it begins to bloom. Actually, points iwo aim tnree are more important than point one and should he carefully considered in choosing the variety for earliness. In thef inal analysis high yields and better quality at reduced cost per acre are desired. Varieties Recommended for Adoption According to tests such varieties as King, Half and Half, Simkins, and Cooke have shown undesirablel qualities and are not to be recommended. . The following varieties which have given best results for South Carolina conditions, are recommended for community adoption. 1. Short staple varieties,?Cleveland Big Boll on wilt-free land. Dixie Triumph on wilt-infested land. 2. Long staple varieties,?Webber 49, Deltatype Webber. Lightnfng Express made a good showing at Clemson College Experiment Station this year. YE FARME GOSS1PE One way to take the evil out of weevil for the next year is to destroy cohoii siaiks ana oiner nioernaung places now. ??% As a consumer of by-products and farm waste the porker wins the championship. If you really want to help Mrs. Biddy fill the egg basket, feed the bird. To too many farmers a new idea is about as welcome as a dose of poison. There are less than ten fruit trees average per farm in South Carolina. Therefore, fruit is high. Even doubting Thomases should see now that cooperative marketing of cotton and tobacco is not a mere "gesture." A tip as to soil building: The farmer like all other people must "put" if he wishes to "take." ? The 1921 Yearbook of the U. S. Department of Agriculture would, if printed privately, sell for not less than f8.00, but farmers can get it free bp writing to their senators or fegremtativee'in Washington. J; '-T-'TTTTW'TTri WASHINGTON COMMENTS | Not infrequently the proponent of a vigorous Americanization program ia answered with "Oh, what's the useT A few foreigners, more or less, who don't understand us, won't hurt. ' ~ There are plenty of patriotic and sentimental reasons why "a few more or less" will hurt and hurt badly. And there are as many pratical reasons. Bolshevism, Red propaganda, Sovietism radicalism of all kinds, are not spread in America by Americans, but by foreigners. Short of deporting afl foreigners, which is unthinkable in peace time, there is no other plan save that of Americanization, which will keep this the America of Americans instead of a try-out station for wild communistic and anarchistic schemes. An instance of the need of greater vigilence in Americanization work is at hand in the funny reports printed in German papers regarding the election. According to some of these, President Harding is about to resign, Governor Smith 'of New York is to become President, the prohibition laws were repealed, the entire Congress was turned1 out of office, and a new one installed. If all German, French, Austrian, and Polish children in the country knew of their own knowledge, from proper Americanization education, the facts about this country, it is hardly possible that their parents and grandparents, in writing to Europe, could fail to give a true, rather than a false picture of political conditions in this country. It may be argued that it doesn't make any difference if Germany is told by her newspapers a set of untruths"about our domestic elections, but that is not the point. Misrepresentation and misunderstanding of one country by another, interfere with trade, cause friction, and sometimes war, and prevent the spread of culture and education, and thus of civilization. Not to realize that Americanization is as improtant to our foreign children and their parents, as education is both to them and to American children, is to remain unconscious of or.e of the vital problems which is to-day faced by the land we love. x EDUCATION WEEK PROGRAM OUTLINE Washington, Nov. 23 American Education week, to be celebrated all over ine United States from December 3 to 9, inclusive, is diviided into six separate sections, a day being devoted to each department. Sunday, December 3, is known as "For God and Country Day," on which ministers of all denominations are urged to presfch a sermon on education, either morning or evening. All communities are urged to hold mass meetings. Requests for speakers may be made to the American Legion Posts through the county for meetings during this week. Monday is "American Citizenship Day," Tuesday will be devoted to "Patriotism," Wednesday is "School and Teachers Day," Thursday is to" be given to a consideration of "Illiteracy," Friday to "Equality of Opporunity," and Saturday to "Physical Education." The American Legion, the National Education Association, and the United Sffltna Pnt?Ao*i ?L? uuicau ui ijuuLiumii, wmcn are all three cooperatnig in {he celebration, are asking aid and assistance from the public. Churches, chambers of commerce, labor organations, women's organizations, fraternal bodies, luncheon clubs, etc., are asked to urge the mayor to issue a proclamation seting aside this week, as American Education Week, and asking the people to cooperate. Newspapers are requested to give alt space possible to educational matters, articles, editorials, and news m iler.il, and merchants are requested to use window displays appropriate for the occasion, and to devote as much space as possible to mat ters of education in their newspaper advertisements. Citizens everywhere are requested to ask the moving-picture theaters to flash slides on the screen, urging the people to visit the schools and study educational questions. At all public meetings held that week it is hoped space can be found for some one to talk a few minutes on Lnu uctuotsiiy in euucauon. uooperattion with the educational officials and other patriotic, civic, and fraternal organisations by local American Legion post is asked, oir the ground that the county looks to the American Legion to pave the way Co patriotism and education?service to Nation, State, and community.

Cooperative marketing of cotton is the greatest constructive force now Working for the development of Southern prosperity, in the opinion of Carl Williams, President of the American Cotton Growers Exchange. Mr Williams has been in Columbia for two days in ' conference with the Board of Direct ore ana management of the South Carolina cotton Growers, Association. "The orderly marketing program followed by the cotton cooperatives of the South, is generally acknowledged to be a great stabilizing force on cottfon prices," said Mr. Williams. "Thus it has assured the Southern farmers of the good price for cotton during the period when farmers themselves had cotton to sell. This same result has been experienced by other commodity cooperative associations in the United States. Those agricultural sections, which have profited foi the longest period by this system ol marketing, are today first in the , United States in per capita bank depor-Ls and among farmers, first ir jjcj. cupiiu iraae in stores, first ir good roads, first in quality of rura schools , first in salaries of countrj teachers, first in number and size ol country churches, first tin salaries ol rural preachers and first in rural recreation. "These things have a direct rela tion to city and town business. The ; effect of the cooperatives has been ti increase the percentage of the con sumer's time, which the farmer re ceives, and thereby to increase hi: buying power and raise his standarc of living. The natural result is thai all business is benefitted proportion ' ately. "I am very much pleased with tin ' progress of South Carolina Cottor Growers' Cooperative Association an< equally well pleased with the sunnori which has been givm the Asoca.lior i by l..rnurs, busi;:. ss men bankers of this state. 'the As wir.iinn h..s already passed the experimental stauc and has become a permanent part yi the life of South Carolina. There is every indication mat it will hatYdk more than 20 per cent of the total cotton crop of South Carolina thh year, and that it has become a domi nant figure in the cotton business oi this state. "Eight other state organizations oi similar size, character and policies are working with the South Carolina Association. Their total membership is more than 175,000 cotton farmers."
