1t continues to rain and the
weeds are having a jubilee. Corn
is looking well and if nothing in
terriers laterI believe will make
a good yield. Some of our far
mers howe yer, aimed to Guido
themselves in the tobacco line,
and as result some patches that
were set will perhaps have to be
abandoned. They cannot keep
grass and weeds down and the
tobacco is beginning to fren ce.
1t is simply next to impossible to
hire farm hand in this section.

This section is sadly in need of
a doctor. There is not a licensed
practicing physician nearer than
Breeding, four and half miles
away. The people here get sick
sometimes and am sure that If
some young doctor would locate
here ne could soon work up a
good paying practice.

but it came not. The Holiness sect
commenced it's labors to save the
parched country. 1t continued it's
meeting for two weeks, but in that
time not a drop OF rain fell. 1t was
hot and dry and then hot some and
dry some more. It seemed as If the
earth was going to burn up and every
growing thing die.
The people then decided to- give
the Baptists a chance. and a pastor
Of that faith was from
Ardmore. He pitcned his tent at
night and asked that the drought be
broken. Clouds gathered in the sky
n before morning there was a heavy

Begin at the Bottom to Climb

We have repeatedly stated that the
place for cooperation to begin is at
home, in the county. and C Unions.
The following sensible comment is
made by Vice-President Dabbs, of~the
South Carolina Union:
I'VE as a Union can not finance the
cotton crop from the top downward,
but we can finance it from the ground
upward. We can do as we have plan
ned to do in Sumpter county and as
done. And where we have shown our
successfully conduct a small cO-opera-
tive business, then we can undertake.
these larger things, for then we will
have the trained me to ana them,
and enterprises will be natural growth.
Some people seem to think the
Farmers Union can be a Standard Oil
Company or a u. S. Steel Corporation
in a day just by passing resolutions to
that effect They forget that these
immense businesses are the slow
growth of a generation Of continuous
effort by as smart men as the world
ever saw.
4 was truly glad to see in the meet
ing of the State Union last week that
his idea of growth is gaining strength
and there is less disposition to finance
and control cotton by long range reso-
lutions. When we have got down to
a sane business basis We will hear less
about farmers striking. They will stick
all right when there is something bust
nesslike to tick to, but will never
stick to impossible resolutions"

bugs, caterpil1ars, spiders and miscel-
laneous insects. While the opinion
prevails generally that the bobwhite
is a great wheat eater it was found
hat wheat constituted but 3.04 per
cent Of the food of those whose stom-
achs were examined, and corn but
1911 per cent.
Referring to the quantity of weed
seed which is consumed by bobWhites,
it is estimated that in the State Of
Virginia there are four of these birds
to the square mile, OF 169,SOO in the
State. The crop of these birds will
hold half an ounce Of seed, and as at
each Of t two daily meals weed seed
constitutes at least half the contents
of the crop. or q quarter Of an ounce,
a half ounce daily is consumed by
each bird. On this very conservative
basis the total consumption Of weed
seed by bobwhites from September to
April 80 in Virginia amounts to 513
tons.
Furthermore, the proportion of in
furious insects habitually eaten by the
bobwhite makes It's service as a de-
stroyer of insects more valuable than
that Of many birds whose percentage
of insect food, though greater, in
cludes a smaller percentage Of injuri-
Gus species. Conspicuous among the
pests which the hObwhite destroys are
the potato beetle. the tWelve-spOtted
cucumber beetle, the bean leaf beetle,
the squash lady bird, wireworn1s and
their beetles, Ma~y-beetles, such
weevils as the corn bill-bug, the i'm
b~ricated-snout beetle, the clover-leaf
weevil and the Mexican c~otton-boll
weevil, the striped garden caterpillar.
the army worm, the cotton worm, the
boil worm, various species Of cut
worms. the courthouse ant, the red
legged grasshopper, the Rocky Noun
tain locust and the chlnch bug. A
dozen army worms or cut worms are
frequently eaten at a meal and forty
seven boil weeVilS nave been eaten in
q morning by one bObWhite.

Save The

The value of the bObWhite from
the standpoint of the sportsman needs
no exploitation, but it has remained
for a emil of the biological survey
Of the Department of Agriculture to
discover and write a thesis on the
Economic Value of the Bobwhite."
Such a paper has been prepared by
Sylvester D. Judd, Phi. D., and makes
very interesting n suggestive read
ing. Mr.. Judd describes a study of
the b~Obwhite, undertaken by means
of field observation, experiments with
captive birds and examinations of
crops and stomachs IN the laboratory,
and sums up the results as follows:
is probably the most
abundant species on the farm. 1t is
one of the most nearly OmniyOrous
birds, consuming large quantities of
weed seeds and destroying many Of
the worst insects which the farmer
has to contend with. It does not in
i,1re grain. fruit or any other crop"
In a series of experiments referred
TO it was found that seeds formed
5O.7S per cent Of its food, and that
most of the seeds consumed were those
of weeds. 1t was also fOund tina a
large proportion of the animal food
of the bobwhite consists Of beetles,

When, an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press; are published as
facts, people become skeptical. On
one subject skepticism is rapidly dis
appearing. This is due to the actual
experience of our citizens, and their
public utterances regarding them. The
doubter must doubt no more in the face
of such evidence as this. The public
statement of reputable citizen living
right at home, one whom you can see
every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on.
