"Prepare For Weevil'
Says MIR. Elliott

!Mr. w. r. Elliott, district
demonstration agent from Wins.
boro, has been making some ex-
cellent speeches in the county
this week. The burden of his
theme is preparation for the
reception of the boil weevil.
I'VE estimate the pest will be
here in three years, according to
It's present rate of travel, though
it is possible that gulf storms
or other conditions may greatly
hasten it's arrival. And when it
comes it is going to spell disas
ter to those not preparee to fight
it,"
Mr.. Elliott is in no sense a
pessimist, but he is thoroughly
familiar with the havoc wrought
by the weevil in other States
and he seems very anxious that
South Carolinians should take
advantage of the experience of
less fortunate States, and pre-
pare.
Every farmer in this county
should begin right now to select
cotton seed of a early fruiting
variety, should cut down his cot
ton acreage and begin raising
more stock and foodstuffs," said
he.
The Advertisers representa-
tive then asked him what he
thought of the partridge as an
ally to the farmer in the des-
truction of the weevil.
His reply was that the value
of this bird to the farmer in
weevil infested district could not
be estimated. "One partridge
will destroy in single day an
unbelievable numb Der of insects.
l am gratified to notice that
many of your farmers have
posted their land against hunt
ing. This is fine. 1t is my firm
conviction that not another bird
should be killed in this State
during the next five years.
IF you cannot get law clos
ing the season and thus protect
ing the birds in this county the
next best thing would be for
every farmer who values his fu-
ture prosperity to post his land
and thus allow the birds to null
tiply on his place.D

Important Case In
Next Criminal Court

The Spring term of the Grimm.
al Court will convene at 0hes-
terfield the first Monday, March
9Th. Judge Shipp of Florence
will preside. The most import
ant work for this court is
to dispose of the case of the
State against the Arants and
Vests Of Pageland charged '. tn
murder.
1t will be remembered that
last March, nearly q year ago,
that riot occurred on the streets
of Pageland in which quite a
number of people were shot.
One man, Wesley Arant, was
killed instantly, another, Dock
Wallace, died few days later
from his wounds. Two others,
who were at first thought to have
been mortally wounded, finally
recovered. Several others re-
ceived minor wounds. A great
deal of interest is being mani
tested in this case all over the
County and large crowds will be
in attendance upon the trial. So
licitor Spears mas indicted a
mum ber of persons with riot and
murder, it being his intention to
try all parties at one time. The
ATTORNEYS representing the vari-
ius defendants have given notice
that they are going to move the
judge to dismiss the indictment
on the ground that one indict-
ment will not lie against all par
ties-that the defendants have q
right to be tried separately.
There is no certainty at this
time that the actual trial of the
parties will take place at the
coming term of court. Two
terms of court have gone by
since the riot and deaths occur
red and the Java biding people
Of Chesterfield County are anxi-
Gus that the case be brought to
trial.

More Liquor Laws
From Columbia

One Of the most import as
pieces of legislation passed by
the General Assembly and that
Is now law is the bill to make j.
mandatory on Judges to impose
chalngang sentences on those
convicted of selling whiskc: .
The law provides for sentence
of six months to two years fer
first violation Of the law all
sentences of two years to tiva
years for second violations uI
the law. There is a proviso that
the Judge may, in his discretion,
suspend during good behavior all
OF the sentence for first violation
but 30 days on the chaingarS
and all but 60 days on chaingang
for second conviction but in no
case can the judge impose a fine
or in any way let the convicted
escape changing sentence Of
a. least 80 days for first oTense
and 60 days for second otfensc.
1t is believed this law which i'm.
poses hard labor en- those convic-
ted will go long way toward
making white men quit selling
liquor, for sentence on til
chaingang will be their portion
if they do not take timely warn
ing.
a bill reducing the amount of
whiskey that can be received by
express in any one calenda-
month from one gallon to two
quarts has passed the Senate
and is now before the House &C
Representatives for passage.
This bill increases the amount
of beer that can be received in
one calendar month from one
gallon to go pints or half barrel.
1t is believed that this act if if
becomes law-and it's passage
through the House seems assur
ed-will restrict the amount of
whiskey consumed in the State
and at the same time increase
the amount of beer.

Upon motion of Mr.. Odom in
the house, this bill was with
drawn from the committee on
banking and insurance. He dill
not think it necessary to have
any further hearing on the bill.
The bill was finally referred to
the committee on agriculture on
motion of Mr.. Odom. The pur-
pose is to press the consideration
of the bill to drive the South

Suggestions on The
Use of Fertilizers

Owing to the prohibitive price
OF potash and the very high price
of all other fertilizer ingredl-
ents farmers are facing a very
trying situation this spring.
The.State Agriculture Depart
ment is doing some praiseworthy
work in an endeavor to place be.
fore the farmers all the informa-
tion on the subject that is avail
able.
Last week we published part
OF Bulletin No. II. dealing with
the fertilizer situation. The
following is taken from the same
bulletin. These two articles
merit Ethe closest attention of
every farmer in the county:
There are three fertilizing ma
terials of which our farmers can
make good use on land that is in
a comparatively poor state of
cultivation and, unfortunately
this includes 4 large percentage
of the cultivated lands in this
State. These materials are: acid
phosphate. cottonseed meal, and
nitrate of soda. 1t is true that
the prices of these materials
have advanced, but not much
more than has been the advance
In the price of cottonseed. 1t Is
a good plan for the farmer to re-
turn the money received for his
cottonseed to his land thro y agh
the purchase of fertilizer and to
supplement this as much as he
feels able. The rate of exchange
of seed for meal is better than
usual, nitrate of soda has ad
vanced about 30 percent in price,
and acid phosphate about 80 per.
cent. while cottonseed has ad-
vanced more than SO percent ov-
er prices that formerly prevail
ed. From the above informa-
tirn We see that our cottonseed
will purchase almost as much
fertilizer as usual.
Recommendations for Pied.
mont Soils: In the Piedmont re-
eion on poor land, nitrogen is
the first limiting factor and
phosphorus the second limiting
factor. In this section, on fer
tile soil, phosphorus is the first
limiting factor and nitrogen is
the second limiting factor.
Therefore, using the three sourc.
es.of plant food already discuss
ed, we should suggest the follow
ing applications and formulas,
which may be varied within Ger.
tain limits to meet local condi-
tions.
Q) For poor to ordinary land,
an application per acre of from
200 to 400 pounds of mixture
composed of 200 pounds of 16
percent acid phosphate, 800
pounds Of Z percent cottonseed
meal, and 200 pounds of nitrate
of soda is recommended. This
mixture should analyze 8 8 per-
cent available phosphoric acid,
nitrogen equivalent to 4.8 per-
cent ammonia, and enough pot
ash will be furnished by the cot.

ture content of 0.6 percent
potash.
(2) On fertile soil, an applica-
tion pei acre of from 300 to 600
pounds of q mixture composed of
200 pounds of 16 percent acid
phosphate, $50 pounds of cotton
seed meal, and $50 pounds of nj
trate of soda should give good
results. This mixture should
analyze 1925 percent phosphroic
acid. nitrogen equivalent to g. SO
