Senator McLaurin Discusses Action Of
Board.
John L. McLaurin, state warehouse
commissioner on Monday, gave out
the following statement:
II am very much gratifed to see
the Associated Press dispatch an
nouncing the arrangements which
have been perfected by the Federal
reserve board for financing cotton.
Those who are interested will re-
member that I issued to the press a
statement on December 9, In which
1 expressed the opinion hat The
treasury department had the power to
finance the cotton crop.
"It appears to me now that the
United States Is on a solid basis
about financing the cotton.
1.-The next step should be to find a
market for it. II the channels of
ocean freight are to be interrupted, as
1t now seems most certain they will
be until the end Of the war, why could
not TIE government buyb ooy t'0V"t"NN
bales of low grade cotton for use In
making explosives?
1T Is plainly evident hat the United
States is on the eve Of getting itself on
a strong military basis and that a lot
Of cotton will be needed in making ex-
plosives. 1t would be a business policy
IN buy now. for Ii may never be
bought more cheaply than at the pres
emit. The government could afford to
buy 1000, 900 bales.
"This also ought to appeal to the
English government. believe that
it should be brought to the attention
of the British government and show
them that it Is to their interest In a
business way to relieve the present
tension that they buy a large quantity
Of American cotton"

especially to wheat. The fly has two
broods yearly, in the spring and in
the fall. It lays its eggs, rs to 80, in
the leaf Of the young plant. Four
DAYS of warm weather hatch the brood
and the larvae crawl near the ground,
where they fix themselves to the main
stalk. Here they suck the sap and
the plant withers and dies. The larvae
in five or six weeks become full grown
flies. Fortunately for the wheat
grower the Hessian fly has enemies,
parasitic insects which prey upon the
larvae. otherwise the efforts to keep
down the increase by burning the
stubble would amount to little. Among
these enemies Is the icneumen fly, so
called after the mongoos, which is the
special foe Of snakes and rats-India-

Color Schemes.

When following out a color scheme
in furnishing a room, a little touch Of
an entirely different, but harmonic
ing color produces ar excellent effect.
This was brought out by a profession
al decorator who was discussing the
furnishings Of her w home.
One room which was furnished in
green and had a green velour couch
cover was especially noteworthy. "The
room needs something to break the
monotony," she said, land some pill
lows with a bit Of old rose coloring
will do it,"
A bedroom where the color scheme
is blue and white is attractive, but
requires another color to give it
warmth.
A straight color scheme is easy
enough for anyone to carry out, but
it calls for considerable skill to make
it distinctive, as in the practical ap-
plication a little variety is usually
necessary to make the furnishings
charming.

The Hessian ElY.-The Hessian fly

The Hessian Fly.-The Hessian fly,
of which we begin to hear early in the
spring, with supplementary informa-
ton az the season advances, is no
newcomer to the United States. The
fly was first noticed on Staten island,
New York, in 1776, and is supposed to
have been introduced into this coun-
try during the Revolutionary war, by
the Hessian troops, and hence the
name. The fly spread rapidly over
New York. New Jersey and Connecti-
cut, and before the end of the 18th
century, had crossed the Allegheny
mountains. This gnat or nudge. the
body of which is about a tenth Of an
inch long, is very destructive to grain,
