THE NATIONS
ANGELUS FOR UNION

1t is very gratifying to note that
the people of Union County and city
are awakening to the necessity of the
Nations Angelus."
On June 18th, the Union Chamber
of Commerce and Agriculture framed
and sent out to ministers of Union a
petition for the Ma tion's Angelus and
which would bring Union in line with
other progressive cities and towns of
the United States.
In accordance with this general
sentiment and ladies auxiliary of the
Union Chamber of Commerce and
Agriculture which held it's regular
monthly meeting of Wednesday morn
ing unanimously passed resolution
favoring an adoption of the Angelus
here as follows: That each evening
at 8 o'clock all lights be extinguished
for period of two minutes, during
which time we will salute the flag
and offer silent prayer.
Further endeayor along this line
will be made by the auxiliary coop
Grating with the Chamber of Com
merce and it is believed that in a
short time custom will become popu-
lar in every town and community.

CHINESE EDUCATIONAL
CONFERENCE PLANS CHANGES

An organized effort to make Man

China and to do away with hundred
dialects now in existence is to be made
Immediately, says Hollington X. Tong
in Millard's Review. This decision
was reached at the Educational Con-
ference of the Presidents of the High
Normal Colleges recently held in
Peking. Beginning this summer coun-
try teachers will be required to take
courses in special Institutes of Man
DARN where phonetic scripts will also
be taught. The dispatch of an educa-
tional commission to America in 1919,
the adoption of special means to unity
educational methods, the provision of
positions for trained teachers, and the
formation Of a college alliance were
other decisions at this notable gather
ing of educationalists.
Although there have been other edu-
cational conferences held from time to
time, this conference was the first of
its kind since the establishment of the
republic seven years ago. It's signif-
canoe can not be lightly estimated.
Throughout the country there are six

COTTON SEED SPIDER

Clemson College, June 3O.-Owing
to the weather conditions of last win
ter, We have good reasons to believe
that the Red Spider injury to cotton
will be more severe this year than it
has been for many years.
First. If violets and poke weed
were not destroyed as directed here
tofore it should be done Immediately.
Blackberry vines on terraces are al
so dangerous.
Second. Reports of severe injury
are already coming from various
parts OF the State. infestation gen.
orally appears in spots and it is
recommended that discolored leaves
be picked, and destroyed. A con-
venient way is to carry crocus
sack which has been well moistened
with kerosene, and into it the leaves
can be thrown. Such leaves should
be thoroughly destroyed. If this
method is then assisted by showers
of rain it will to great extent pre-
vent dangers.
Third. The field should be close
ly watched, and when the cotton be-
comes sufficiently large for the
plants to touch each other, the
spiders will spread from every in
Tested plant causing the discolored
areas in a cotton field and subse-
quent dying of the plants. General
ly infested stalks should therefore
be pulled up when first noticed and
burned.
Fourth. AS last resort the in
tested areas may be sprayed, using
one of the following solutions, the
spray being directed on the under
sides of the leaves.
One gallon of lime sulphur wash to
100 gallons of water. If potassium
sulphide is available it may be used
instead of the lime sulphur wash at
the rate of three pounds to 100 gal
Ions of water. After cotton is
grown it will require from 1875 to
250 gallons per acre according to the
size of the plants.
Red spider is a dry weather insect
and no serious damage need be ex-
pected in localities where wet spells
occur.
