Plans of the department of agriculture as outlined by its cotton council, are beini* widely developed.Among the methods for control of the boll weevil which will be used next season is that rer cently announced by the Florida state plant board which the cotton council lias recommended be given a thorough trial throughtout the cotton belt. The present price of calcium arsenate is engaging the attention of the government, an attempt will be made to increase the supply for next season's fight on the boll weevil. A meeting for this purpose will be held in New York next Wednesday. It will be attended by government experts, including Dr. J. K.

J "FLU" WORRIES HEAD OF STATE HEALTH OFFICE Columbia, Dec. 7.?A confession that he was worried over the influenza situation and outlook in South Carolina was made to day by Dr. James A. Hayne, state health at'icer. "I take no optimistic view of the influenza situation in South Carolina," Dr. Hayne declared. "Influenza swept over the state in the fall of 1918. Usually the disease does not return so quickly, and frankly, I am worried abou' the situation. No Death* "The reports that reach this olKce," he said, "do not indicate that influenza is epidemic, but they do indicate that it is apnad'ii^ from certain c liters of infection. As yet no denilis have been reported from streptococci infection. It was so fatal in 15)18. Dr. Hayne advised persons who suspect they have influenza to go to bed immediately and summon a physician. TOLBERT CANNOT RESUME OFFICE UNTIL CONFIRMED Washington, Pec. 5>?Joseph W. Tolbert, who was nominated today for a third time by President Harding to be United States marshal for the western district of South Carolina, can not resume the duties of that office, which he failed confirmation in the special session of Congres1* ending Monday, until his nomination is confirmed by the senate, according to opinions expressed here today in well informed quarters. In the meantime, Nelson R. Green, democrat, who succeeded Tolbert by appointment of Federal Judge H. H. Watkins, having been sworn in at Anderson early this week, will continue to act as marshal. Opinion to this effect is based on precedents, it was explained. Tolbert, republican excutive committeeman from his state, was nominated by President Harding to the marshalship at the last regular session of Congress. Senator Dial of South Carolina, opposed confirmation in the senate, urging the charge that the nominee had been convicted in the courts and was ineligible. He succeeded in preventing the nomination being comfirmed. After adjournment of Congress, President Harding tenderedToIbert a recess/appointment under which he was sworn and assumto the duties of marshal. This appointment failed of confirmation when the senate took un a laree num ber of presidential nominations on the last day of the session. Following announcement to day that the President had again nominated the republican committeeman, Senator Dial announced that the fight against confirmation would be resumed. Judge Watkms, in appointing Green, who is a former sheriff of Anderson county, acted upon the advice of District Attorney Earnest F. Coch ran to the effect that he had been informed by the attorney general of the authority to fill a vacancy existing under these circumstances, according to reports received here. jfcfcwiflleirftid t if * ?L-:Hi irffltift :.i I... utim. L i m inimum^ | BEATING THE BOLL WEEVIL 1 How D. W. Moore, Excelsior' Seed Farm, Cheraw, S. C., made a bale of cotton per acre. BY E. F. CAUTHEN, in Atlanta Constitution Some farmers are able to make paying crops of cotton in spite of boll weevil and unfavorable weather conditions. One of these is D. W. Moore of the Excelsior seed farm, near Cheraw, S. C. The writer had the pleasure of visiting this farm, in September and found Mr. Mocie picking a bale of cotton to the acre. The crop was so outstanding in yield that the writer asked Mr. Monro hnui V?o Kail succeeded in making this splended crop, and he kindly told him the fol lowing story: The Story Mr. Moore's land is slightly rolling, 1 well drained, free from stumps, and ' has a gray loam soil with a heavy ! clay sub-soil. The preparation for | this crop was begun last fall when the [ land was turned with two-horse plows. In March it was double disked, harrowed and planted the first week in April. He used a combination planter ! and fertilizer distributor, which pre pared the surface, laid off the rows 3 feet and 10 inches apart, distributed the fertilizer and planted the cot; ton seed, all at one operation. Fertilizers Used At time of planting a mixture of 200 pounds of acid phosphate and 50 pounds of muriate of potash per acre was applied. The cotton was thinned to a stand early in May and a hundred pounds of quick acting highgrade nitrogenous fertilizer was applied as a side dressing to the cotton plants. About the 10th of June a second application was cultivated in the soil. The first week of July 50 pounds of nitrate was added. The total cost of the 500 pounds of fertilizer was approximatley $9.00. Mr. Moore states he would make a slight change in his fertilizer, raising the amount of acid phosphate from 200 pounds per acre to 300 or more and apply part of the nitorgenous i fertilizer at planting time and the 1 balance before the first of July. Cultivation Tho fivct pnltivnf inn *i?o? i?o'!a latter part of April with a two-horse riding cultivator. This riding cultivator was used all through the growing season up to the first of August. Some parts of his crop received as ' many as 12 shallow cultivations. The i hoe was used very little in making the crop. Dusting Calcium arsenate was dusted twice on the crop with a mule-back ma' chine. The major portion of the bolls was set before the weevils became ' numerous enough to do a great deal of damage. Results From his wage farm of 165 acres, Mr. Moore gathered 150 bales of cottnn <>KAIII - ?v..f Ui/vub n.u-viiuuo Wl Wllll'II was staple cotton. One two-horse share cropper picked .'13 heavy bales from 50 acres; another share cropper gathered 14 hales of Delta Type Webber from 16 acres; and another twohorse cropper picked 25 bales from 30 acres. Mr. Moore believes the most essential points in raising cottt n under boll weevil conditions are as follows: 1. Careful preparation of land before planting. 2. Plant early, and plant only pure seed of a tvne of cotton that i? well adapted to that section. 3. Apply plenty of fertilizer, rich in nitrogen when planting and all during the early growing season. 4. Thorough and rapid cultivation from the time the plant is up until late in the season. 666 it a Prescription for Colds, Fever and LaGrippe. It's the most speedy remedy we know, preventing Pneumonia.

KEPT HER SON TIED THREE YEARS Chicago, Dec. b.-?A tragi: expression of mntllUK Invo nine rnui.olml I today when the authorities penetrated into the Kusteny home. In a rear room they found the wasted frame of 30-year-old James Kozeny bound hand and foot to the bed. For three years his mother hud kept him a prisoner, fearing that he would be taken from her when he showed traces of insanity. When released Kozeny was unable to move his limbs, par?i!<ed by their long shackling. airs. ivozeny, tne only other occupant of the cottage that became known as 'Mystery House' because of the wierd cries and gibbering talk that filtered through it* boarded windows, fought the officers who attempted to gain entrance. They were forced to break down the barricade with an ax. "You can't take my boy from me," Mrs. Kozeny screamed. "You can kill me but you can't have him." The rear room in which the son, a living skeleton, was cofined, had been walled up by the mother. He was kept in total darkness. Mrs. Kozeny, it was said, herself had become a maniac from her self-1 imposed imprisonment. She left the* house only Ion# enough to buy provisions, she said, haunted by a fear that her son would be taken from her. Both mother and son were taken to a psychopathic hospital. POISONING WEEVIL A card containing the following Instructions for fighting the boll weevil has been printed for distrubution by Mr. I. B. Merriman, of this county. Take two pounds of Calcium Arsenate, one-half gallon warm water; mix well and put in one gallon Black Strap Molasses and mix well. To use, tie a small mop on the end of a stick and dip in bucket and drop in the bud of eery stalk as soon as it is chopped. Put on three times before any forms appear and then once a month till August. Put only little in bud. Twenty cents worth to the acre is a plenty. It is good on any cotton. ,LEAVITT & PORTER ' FUNERAL DIRECTORS ! Those who employ us have the assurance that they will receive the highest degree of service and satisfaction.
