"ALMIGHTY DOLLAR"
400 YEARS OLD.

!
IT was in 1892 that the Congress
i of the United States authorized
the establishment of a mint in Phil
adelphia. With the founding of this
institution the almighty dollar"
began to come into it's own. The
Spanish dollar had been common in
America for years. and when Gouver-
neur Morris attempted to harmonic
all the moneys of the States he took
the dollars as astandard. The plans
of Morris were later amended by
Jefferson. who proposed to strike
four coins upon the basis of the
Spanish milled dollar a gold piece
of the value of ten dollars, a dollar
in silver. tenth of a dollar in silver
and hundredth of dollar in cop
per.
Although America borrowed the
dollar from Spain, in origin it was
German, the word dollar being the
English form or the German thaler. y
1t was nearly four centuries ago
in 1519-that Count Schlick of Bo-
hemia began to issue silver coins
! weighing one ounce each. These
were minted at Joachimsthal, in Bo-
hemia, end thus became known as
Joachimsthalers. later shortened by
thalers. In the sixteenth century
they became common in England,
where they were known as "dalers''
or dollars" Shakespeare men

q mistake to regard the matter lightly
because 1t is absolutely certain that
the weevil is coming and the climatic
conditions Of South Carolina are such
that probably greater efforts are re-
auired than in many localities In other
states to produce cotton crop under
weevil conditions. To produce cotton
after the weevil has become thorough
ly established requires the best farm
ing of one kind or another.
The crop becoming an uncertainty

The Insect Peril.

A writer in an English journal has
suggested that the next great war
will be between man and the insect
world. This war would be waged
not only on insects that actually at.
tack man himself. but also on all
those winged or creeping things that
are his enemies in less direct ways
those species that, to use the writer's
phrase, exist at the expense of hu-
man progress and happiness.
We all shudder with horror at the
thought of scorpion or a centipede,
although few of US ever see one of
them, but we do not shudder enough
at the thought of the untold millions
of disgusting things that We are put
ting up with all the time. Perhaps
it is unfortunate for US that many of
these harmful. and even death-deal-
ing, insects are very small. If they
were as large as they are bad we
should soon rid ourselves of them.
When we see the house fly or the
mosquito hugely magnifed, we real
ize at once that, compared with them
structurally, the tiger is charming
and beautiful thing;but we 60 away
and forget the magnified picture and
submit to the original Of it.
The death toll that vermin have
caused in the present war has 80 en-.
forced its lesson that the world has
reused itself to clean things up. The
knowledge that certain insects were
disgusting and unclean did not seem
to be sufficient reason for action.
but the knowledge that these same
insects are quite as dangerous as 80
many bullets is a stronger argument.
England has to thank the militant
suffragettes who came under arres
for one thing at least-the clamor
they raised on their release with re-
gard to the vermin that they had
encountered in English prisons.
The determination of these pests
is a duty that the world faces-a
righteous crusade in which We should
all join. The scientists will tell US
the best way to wage the fight, but
scientific methods must be reinforc-
ee by a public opinion that will
cease to tolerate unclean dwellings.
stagnant pools, uncovered tanks. ac-
cumulations of exposed filth, and
everything else that invites vermin
and menaces human beings.

Whether the weevil is present OF
not no farm can find an excuse Tor not

This Is the first duty and requirement!
of any farm. After the home supplies

gent fertilization Is OF great impor'
tance but still greater Importance Is
the maintenance of the soil fertility
mainly by legume crops.
Not only cotton stalks but all otnes
stalks which are part OF the crop
refuse should be incorporated into the
soil in the fall and as far as possible
the land should be planted into an el'

"a no greater agency to produce cot
ton crop than water. This has been
demonstrated time and again In the
cotton belt since the beginning OF the
veevil fight twenty-three years ago.
Il is important to make cotton
crop and yet it is more important to
maintain the health Of the community
and this matter has not been given
sufficient thought as can be plainly
aeen by the number Of flies we allow
the right Of way every day.
Flies are best controlled by caring

Bright Outlook for Southern Ports.

Much increased export activity in
this country and indicated for the
future afford the ports of the South
the greatest opportunity for growth
that have ever had presented to
them, according to Mr. Robert L Nc
Kellar, foreign freight manager for
the Southern Railway system. with
headquarters in Louisville, who has
just completed tour of the ports
served by that railway.
The building and operating of the
1000 wooden ships, authorized by
Congress and the putting into SER
vice of the seized German and Aus
trian vessels will be long steps to-
ward overcoming the shortage of
bottoms. which is now the greatest
drawback to the rapid extension of
the foreign traffic of the Southern
ports, according to Mr. McKellar.
Mr. Mcclellan heads an entirely
new department of the Southern
Railway. 1t was formed to do ev-
erything possible to increase the
foreign expectation of commodities
through ports which are served by
that system. There are seven such
ports, Charleston. Savannah, Bruins.
wick, Jacksonville, Pensacola. Mobile
and New Orleans. To get vessels
to come to these ports is the job
that is staring Mr. McKellar in the
face. The freight can be furnished
in ample quantities if the means Of

manure to kill the maggot and eggs.
Where 1t is necessary to have the ma
nures exposed to flies, 1t may bs
treated with borax, hellebore or Cal
cium Cyanamid and Acid Phosphate
as follows:
BORAX. Powdered borax sprinkiad
over the manure at the rate OF II
pound to bushels Of manure and z
or 3 gallons of water poured over the
manure to wash tn bo-
rax into the manure will kill the mag
gots and keep the eggs from hatch
ing. The outer edges Of the manure
pile should be carefully sprinkled %
this is where tho maggots congregats
for pupation.
Caution should be used in treating
manures to be employed for agrfcal-
tural purposes, because Of the fnjura-
GUS action on the plant growth OF the
excessive applications Of the boraK,
This is the least expensive method
where the manure is not intended for
agricultural purposes.
HELLEBORE. Powdered white
hellebore when made in solution BY
mixing one-haf pound of hellebore to
10 gallons Of water and sprinkled over
the manure gives good results in kill
ing fly maggots. This solution can be
made up in large quantities and kept
until wanted for use. The best re-
suits have been obtained by allowing
the solution to stand few hours be-
fore applying. The composition OF
the manure VIII not be materially
changed by using the hellebore. An
imals will not be in danger when ma
nure is treated In the stables as the
poison is washed into the manure.
CALCIUM CYANAMID AND ACID
PHOSPHATE. This mixture may be
used at the rate OF four pounds Cal
cium Cyanamid, four pounds Acid
Phosphate to every eight bushels OF
manure. The substances should be
mixed and spread over the manure
after which it Is sprinkled with ten
gallons Of water The addition Of
these materials to the manure In the
proportions given greatly increase the
value of the manure for agricultural
purposes by holding the amonia which
generally passes of as gas in the un.
treated material. This form Of nitro
gen is more slowly available as plant
food than the ordinary nitrates. It
should be applied to the crop not less
than seventy to eighty days before
harvest in order that the nitrogen may
be completely utilized by that crop.
