MERICAN TROOPS PRAISED

praise is given the American troops
OF occupation by a representative of
the Berlin foreign ministry on his re
turn from Treves, according to a Bcr-
lin message today.
"Thc judgment OF al Germans, su n
as shopkcHpCrs, .otcl keepers and the
men on the Streets" the oilitial is
rs saying, "is That the be
havior of the Americans is blamclcss.
Everything is following it's normal
course and the American columns are
paying the greatest regard to civilian

issued which could in any way alarm
the population"

When the war began tobacco pro-
duction in European countries was
virtually halted and there was trc-
tn@ous drain on the big stocks OF
American tobacco in European ware
houses. 1t was the demand made upon
these reserve stocks that sent prices
upward, rather than the overseas
shipments, which were in reality
smaller than those in times Of peace,
dealers say. AS the big reserve sup
plies decreased, American exporters
began buying in, the American mar
kct to replace the stocks when peace
would bring adequate transportation
facilities.
The amount now held for export,
however, is not sufficient, i? the opin-
ion Of big dealers, to rcplcnish foi-
cign stocks. They say that this con-
dition, coupled with the desire Of do
mcstic manufacturers to increase
their stocks, will make competition
keen for a year

THE BEST INSURANCE
AGAINST THE BOIL WEEV|L

/. The Mexican Boil Wccvil ap-
pcared in South Carolina in October,
1917, in Beaufort County. 1t is rap
idly spreading and at present occurs
in Beaufort, Hampton and Barnwoll
Counties. 1t will invade other coun-
ties before frost.
2. The Wccvil is now causing an
annual loss in cotton roduction
amounting to one hundred million dol
lars.
3. 1t is within the power of the
farmers and business men Of South
Carolina to greatly diminish the dam
age which the Wccvii is capable of
causing throughout the infested ter
ritory by immediate adoption of the
recommendation given herewith.
q. While it usually requires three
years for the Boil Wecvil to reach it's
maximum numbers in newly infested
territory, the early spread of the
Weevil this season indicates that it
will be a serious menace to the cotton
production in South Carolina even in
1919.
Recommendations.
5. The picking Of the crop should
be completed at the earliest possible
date. If the picking can be completed
by October 1st, or not later than
October 18th. it will open the way for
a very complete and practical control
of the Weevil.
6. The Boil Wcevil can be practi-
cally controlled by the complete de-
struction of all green cotton, at least
four weeks before killing frosts oc-
cur Two methods of stock dcstruc-
tion should be considered:
1st. Whenever the teams and plows
are capable of putting the stalks
under four inches Of dirt they should
be plowcd under.
2nd When stalks cannot be plow-
cd under deeply they should be up
rooted piled while green, and burned
as soon as the foliage is thoroughly
dry.
T. If the plants cannot be destroy
ed by October 18th, growth Of plants
should be stopped by topping.
8. AS soon as cotton plants aIc
destroyed, plant winter crops, such
as oats, wheat, clover, rye, rape, and
barley. Where legumes, alfalfa, Grim
son clover, vctchcs, bur clover, etc,
can be used as winter crops they are
even more valuable than grain crops.
o. Begin now to prepare for next
years crop by careful winter and
spring plowing.
10. Select seed from your best
plants, using your earliest maturcl
plants for the purpose. Avoid seed
not adapted to your section. If wilt
or black root occur on land you pro-
pose planting in cotton, select only
the wilt-resistant types. Confer free
ly with the State Entomologist, Cldm-
son College, who will advise you.
Plant at earliest time you can reason
ably avoid damage by frost, using
early maturing varieties. Consult
your County Demonstration Agent on
rotation Of crops and improved farm
ing methods.

AMERICANS a ARRIVE
FROM HUN PRISONS

Munich, Dee. S.--Last night TAO
American prisoners, including non
commissioned officers, arrived here
from the interior of Germany. The
men came from dozen different
states, from California to New York.
They were cordially received by the
entire American colony, headed by

FRENCH MAY MARVEL
AT MILLIONAIRE TROOPS
Erich Mems Regiments" Famed
for Big Incomes Possessed
by the Personnel

The American soldier Is generally
known in foreign lands by the trail of
coin which he leaves in his wake. With
this reputation already before him,
what the natives Of other lands will
think when certain American outfits
arrive "fn their midst" is now q mat
ter Of conjecture with officers whose
particular concern Is these regiments.
The organizations referred to are
a product Of the war. They are known
as .'rfch mems regiments" and are
worthy Of the name.
These units have already made q
] reputation for themselves, not as
spendthrifts, but for the big incomes
| possessed by the personnel.
| For instance, certain engineer reg
I iment at Camp Meade is made up prin-
cipal1y of graduates Of colleges and
| technical institutions. About IS per
cent Of the enlisted men gave up in
comes of from $1,000 a year upward
to serve for $50 per month.
Another regiment of engineers at q
camp near Washington is composed OF
men of high technical attachments,
whose civilian incomes outrange those
Of some officers. Some of the officers
of the technical branches were big
consulting engineers whose incomes
ran to five figures.
In a big southern training camp is,
or was, squadron Of crack National
Guard cavalry, whose members were
big business men and rich mems sons.
One of these units distinguished itself
on the border when some Of its 'buck
privates" went in for high-power mo-
tor cars. One such squadron, now
changed to field artillery, has In its
ranks and among the officers some Of
the wealthiest business men of Wash
ington.
These men are not reckless spenders,
but are every inch soldiers, and in
tend to prove it on the other side.

HOUSEWIFE Warned
NOT TO 0vERSTOCk
Excessive Buying Laid to Pro-
German Propaganda by the
Food administration.

Three successive buying drives on
salt, laundry blue and matches, by
housewives throughout the eastern
part Of the country, are the result of
the latest efforts of pro-German propa-
gandists. This is the belief Of the
United States food administration
after its attention has been called to a
temporary embarrassment on the part
of retailers caused by unusually large
purchases of the above commodities by
women in various localities. These
excessive buying campaigns have start
ed from rumOrs Of threatened short
! age in the three articles, and have
caused the panicky housewives to
stock up with them in sufficient guam
titles to last their families for more
than a year.
The food administration announces
that there is no actual shortage In
either salt, matches or laundry blue;
that the national stock is as large as
ever with no possibility Of shortage
with normal demand on the part Of
the consumer, and that rumors of any
such shortage can be attributed only
to German agents wishing to upset the
even course of trade and spread dis
satisfaction with war conditions. It is
pointed out that temporary shortage
in particular locality may be caused
at any time if the people in that local
ity make twenty or thirty times their
normal purchases.
The drive on salt in the present in
stance, seems to have begun in New
York city, and spread as far as Bos-
ton and Washington, where many store |
keepers absolutely sold out Of the COM
modify in a couple Of days. Imme-
diately following the excessive pur-
chases Of salt, came the case of laun-
dry blue. The third wave of big buy
ing has been centered on matches and
its origin has been traced to Jersey
City.
The fact that the buying drives have
come in successive waves points to or
ganized effort, and it is the belief Of
the food administration that false ru-
mOrS concerning other commodities
may be expected. 1t therefore warns
The housewife to disregard any such
reports and not to overstock, since
such procedure works actual harm
and may cause real shortage for a
line in particular localities.
