USE WILT RESISTANT SEED.

Somebody estimates that the South
loses about ten million dollars annu-
ally as the result of the ravages of
cotton wilt and root-knot. South Car
olina bears large part of this loss
1t is not difficult. however, to protect
ones cotton crop from wilt. The use
of wilt-resistant varieties of cotton is
the course urged by the Dotany divis.
ion of Clemson College and this divis-
ion is cooperating with number OF
farmers in the state who are produc-
ing carefully grown seed of these wilt
resistant varieties to sell to farmers
who need them. The botany division
of ClcmSon College will be glad to
answer questions about wilt and root.

Lines That Have Been Highly Praised

In Time Of Peace.

Robert Service, the Canadian
writer, who is at present engaged in
Red Cross work in France, has cent
to the Paris correspondent of an
English paper what he describes as
"the best war poem | have seen.'
The verses, which, Mr.. Service says
were found by a French priest on the
body of an English soldier killed al
the Marine, run as follows:
They say that war is hell, the great
accurst;
The sin impossible to be forgiven;
Yet can look upon II at it's worst,
And still see blue in heaven.
For when l note how nobly natures
form
Under the wars red rain, deem IL
true
That he who made the earthquake
and the storm
Perchance made battles, too.
As a matter of fact, the lines were
written in time of profound peace.

INTO A STRANGE COUNTRY
Traveller In Other Lands Must Be Pro-
pared With Open Mind to Alb
Z sorb Impressions.

In the Woman's Home Compan-
ion Laura Spencer Portor continues
her series Of interpretations Of vari-
ous countries. Concerning s nations
personality, Miss Portor says in part:
Gle who would travel in other
lands must leave his own behind. He
who would judge of country and a
people must leave his own freside
opinions, turn the key on his own
prejudices, cross whatever seas of diff
ficulty may lie between his and an
others land, and with eager step,
whether upon roads good or difficult,
whether upon hidden by-paths or
highways known to all, he must
travel into the very heart of the
stranger country. Thus he may come
any day upon that country's great
cities in the dawn, or chance upon
her noble events spread solemn be-
meath the stars; so shall he come to
know and love her simple village life
and humble pleasures, her fertile
plains or rugged mountains, her at
tainments and her difficulties. So.
living among this people and sharing
the intimate life of their homes, they
shall come to have for him a particu-
lar meaning, shall stand to him for
certain things not elsewhere to be
found in this exact kind of measure.
So shall an entire nation reveal to
him distinct personality, even as an
individual with whom we have lived
intimately and understandingly be-
comes to us dear through the unfold
ing of that individuality and those
characteristics so wholly his own, the
like of which we shall not look upon
elsewhere or again"

The heart Of many a woman. working

Of England and Germany TO hastily marry

OF temperature would prevail throughout
the universe. The state of absolute zero
implies the entire absence OF motion
among the molecules of which matter is
composed Just what would happen to
the universe In those circumstances we
do not know, and we can hardly imagine.
IL seems not unlikely that, with the ces-
sation OF all molecular vibrations. every
form OF force that We are acquainted
with N nature would cease. All matter,
OF all kinds. might itself disappear, being
resolved into something else. and perhaps
returning. as Or. lie Bon has suggested.
back into the invisible ana intangible
ether.
But there Is another possible alter
native. much more fascinating 70 regard.
Il might be that. AZ the absolute zero
OF temperature. a new and far more
powerful set OF forces would be brought
into action, viz; the intra-atomie forces.
Molecules are made up OF atoms. and
the enormous energies that are hidden in
the atoms are probably entirely indepen-
dent OF the state In which the molecules
exist. The vibrations OF heat which
shake the molecules must not In the
