SOUTH CAROLINA MOVES UP
Food Crops in This State Have In.
creased in Value S27, 100000 Dur
inq the Past Five Years.

In the census year, more than TWO
thirds CT the total crop values in South
Carolina were produced by cotton
alone. and her bill fer imported food
supplies was s95,O00,00O. The same
year her cotton and cotton seed were
worth S96,3S0, ,000-or just little more
than her pantry and farm supply bill.
For long years the state has been
buying staple food supplies with cot
ton money; but in 1910 the per capita
farm wealth OF her country population
was only 1897, against 1895 in the Uni
ted States. SS29 in Oklahoma and
1883 in Iowa. both OF which are food
producing states. with surpluses to
market abroad
A Twenty-Seven Million Increase.
But last year was epoch-making in
South Carolina. Recent reports OF the
Federal Agricultural Department show
that the state has gained s5,574.O00 in
livestock and s2l,S4S 900 in food crops
since the census year-a total gain OF
S27.00O,000 in five years.
On January /, 1916. the farmers own
ed $4,000 more mich COWS and other
cattle than in 1910, nearly 10000 more
horses and mules, and $4,000 more
swine.
The six-year increases in food crops
were as follows: hay and forage $4,000
tons or 81 per cent: potatoes. 2,6O0.OOO
bushels or 81 per cent; oats. 4.229,OOO
bushels or II per cent; corn, 14,6S6,OoO
bushels or 70 per cent; wheat 2,1ls,'
900 bushels cr 6S2 per cent.
II is a great record. South Carolina
has gone a long way towards establish
:ng a self-feedirg farm system.
OF course there were other agencies
at work, but Clemson College feels
that she has right to claim a part
In bringing about these changes.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

What are you doing for this

What are you doing to justify
your citizenship in this town:
You cannot sit down, criticise.

The good citizen never thinks

more.
It requires that you keep in
mind that there are others who
have rights and are entitled to
have those rights respected by
others-by you. On the same
basis you are entitled to have
your rights equally respected
by them.
That is good citizenship
partially.
In addition, the good citizen
remembers that his town is en-
titled to his best efforts In its
behalf, to the end that the in
terests of the community may be
advanced by ali legitimate means

PREPARE FOR ARMY WORM
caterpiIIars May Appear Most Any
Day Now.-Cotton Should be In
soected as Often as Possible.

The Entomologists at Clemson Col
lege are expecting heavy outbreak OF
the true army worm in the State this
year. This caterpillar is an inch or
more in length and varies from gray
to black in color, with black stripes
and narrow white lines on the back,
and a greenish color on the under side.
Inspect your cotton as often as pos
sible so that the worms will be discov-
cred before they have advanced over a
large area.
Spray.
Where the worms have just been dis
covered and are still confined to
small area, spray with the following:
Arsenete Of lead. ....... lbs.
Water so gals.
Paris green. ~. 30
Freshly slaked lime..... lbs.
Water so gals.
Use arsenate Of lead in preference
to Paris green, for there is no posi-
bility Of arsenate Of lead burning the
foliage.
Dust with Poison.
II the worm is over a large area
dust the cotton with half and half
mixture Of arsenate Of lead and air
slaked lime, cheap -four or fine ashes.
This is very practicable where there
is a large area affected.
Bait with Poisoned Bran.
Where spraying and busting will not
DO, use the following poisoned bait:
Wheat bran ............. aV lob.
Arsenate of lead. ......... 2 lbs.
Tor lb. Paris green).
Cheap molasses .......... 4 qts.
Lemons or oranges finely
chopped ...............
Mix the dry bran and poison, then
add the molasses. Work into dough
and add the oranges or lemons. When
the dough is too thick, add little wa
ter. Broadcast this bait over the in.
tested field, or among the worms when
they are on the march.
Or Ditch.
When the worms are moving in a
mass. they may be halted by digging
a ditch across their path. The ditch
should be narrow with steep sides.
When the worms fall into it, kill them
by dragging a log up and down through
the ditch.

WOULD BAR DRUG
CHEMIST TELLS OF DEADLY EF.
FEcTs OF PEYsTE.
pemoraiizins to Ute Indian Tribe, ls
The Charge Made-Really Is Some
thing New in the Way
Of Narcotics.

Discovery that the roots and bios
saAs Of q plant known as peyots,
chewed Sy the Indians Of the Uinta
basin, contain properties like unto
opium, and which are deadly in their
effect, has been made by Herman
Harus, Utah state chemist, according
TO Salt Lake City correspondent OF
tia Philadelphia Record. 30 seriously
does Mr.. Harms regard tho menace
Of tho weed that he recommends that
the next legislature take proper steps
to include the plant in the list Of pro-
hibited narcotics.
Peyote constitutes the dried roots
and dried blossoms Of small cactus
plant that grows in the southwestern
section of the United States. Some Of
it grows in Utah, notably the Uinta
basin. Ute Indians, many Of them, are
habitual users Of peyote and some in
clude it in certain forms Of their re-
Hgious ceremonies.
"At the present time" Chemist
Harms says in his report to the gov
ernor Of Utah, "the Ute Indians hold
their tpeyote service every Saturday
night until Sunday morning at Rand
lette, Utah, and from all accounts this
evil habit is growing at rapid rate
with decidedly demoralizing effects eR
these people"
The growth Of the use Of peyote
among the Indians and the subsequent
effect upon them attracted the atten-
ton Of some Of the white residents
of the Uinta basin, including Senator
Don B. Cotton. He called the atten-
ton of Governor Spry to the matter,
and the governor ordered an im1aeat-
ate and thorough investigation.
Peyote is something new in the way
Of narcotics, as Mr.. Harms found out
during the investigation. Here is a
cactus plant, common enough in the
western states, that contains juices
as powerful as opium or morphine.
Mr.. Harms consulted the leading med
ical and pharmaceutical books, but
none Of them contained even a men
ton Of peyote. He also wrote to the
Thomas Nelson research and infor-
nation bureau of New York for infor-
nation about it, but received no reply.
Mr.. Harms then set about an exhaus-
tive investigation Of his own with the
samples be had received from the
Uinta country.
Both the roots and blossoms Of the
peyote plant are chewed by the In
dians after the manner in which Pc.
ryvians derive the effects Of cocaine
from chewing coca leaves. The BIOS
SONS are more delectable in the eyes
Of the victims Of the habit than the
roots.
At first peyote causes as great state
Of mental exhilaration and excitement.
Then it deadens the senses, produces
abnormal dreams, is demoralizing, and
finally this peyote causes the Indians
to remain drunk or in a stupor for
two or three days.
Psyote was first introduced under
the form OF a religious ceremony. and
duriag the singing and dancing it was
passed around until the Indians were
drunk with it. It contains, among
ether constituents, an alkaloidal pzin-
eiple, to which, no doubt, is due the
powerful narcotic action upon the hu-
man system. Its Underestimate use
produces a demoraliziag, harEfm age
dspraved condition.
