C.. It would not be surprising, how
ever, to find weevils at some points
much further north than this line
within the next few days. Weevll
movements are governed by weather
by abundance Of squares and by
abundance Of cotton. In sections
where cotton is thin, weevil migration
is more rapid.
In order to protect the little free
territory which is still ours, the safe

points approximately: Mountain Rest
Pickens, Pacolet and Rock Hill, and

proximately at Van Wyck. There is

Farmers W:,l Decrease Production Il
Prices A.c Cnprofitabie

Factories lave always decreased
their output when necessary to MAIN
tain profitable prices. Town and city
rccnle have gradually reduced the
rur1bcr of hours of labor to enable
I'll 70 find employment, but a mighty
howl is now going up from these same
people over the passage of resolu-
tion by en- Indian farmers organiza-
ton ssavoring a one-fourth decrease
in the crop acreage to be planted in
1920. They are very much opposed to
the farmers taking steps to curtail
production.
The reorganization of European
agricultural and the decreased Euro
pean demand for American foodstuffs
mean decrease in prices for farm
products. and will not continue to
use every cent of available capital
and every ounce of energy to produce
enormous crops as they did during
the war. Intelligent farmers realize
that unless war production of farm
products will prevail within the next
few years.
Of course, farmers are conserva-
tive class and, regardless of the policy
pursued by factories and laboring
men, will not act hastily and bring
starvation on a large per cent of the
population of the world. They will
continue to produce as much food as
the world is willing to consume at a
profitable price.-The Progressive

The Need for Better Farming Systems


The most real and vital problem be-
fore fkarmers just at this time is to
work out a safe and sane system of
farming; one that will include crops
to enrich instead of wear out our
land; one that will include plenty of
livestock to consume the surplus pro-
ducts and the leguminous crops must
be grown to enrich the land and to
make manure to still further enrich
the land-a system of farming that
will grow the necessary corn, oats,
wheat, rye, sugar cane, vegetables,
fruits of all kinds, hogs, mules,
horses, cattle, sheep and other live
stock for home use and to sell at a
profitable price.
The growing of cotton imnov-
erishes the soil, and attempt to keep
- the fertility Ct the soil, by the
use of commercial fertilizer must
give way to new system of farming.
In this new system of farming, we
will practice rotation of crops in
eluding leguminous crops, such MS
cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts and les
redeza,a nd the crops grown will be
largely fed to good livestock, the ma
nure carefully saved and applied to
the soil, and the necessary CONNER
eial fertilizer judiciously applied.
The too exclusive culture of cotton
has exhausted the huhus or the life !
giving principle in our soils; the wash
ing and teaching of our clean cotton
fields havegone on such an extent
xnat millions Of acres Of the best land
will not yield profitable crops of cot
ton, grain or grasses. The too ex-
elusive culture ofcotton establishes
the credit system, As long as we
raised corn, oats, wheat, rice, sugar
cane, potatoes, fruits and vegetables,
had good pastures and hay meadows,
raised plenty of poultry, hogs, sheep,
goats, mules, horses, cattle, and other
livestock, there was no necessity for
the credit system.-The Progressive
Farmer.

was talking about the romance" nd then the eX-Kaise deliherately

was talking about the romance" And then the ex-Kaiser deliberately brought the talk to the young Dukes knowledge-with @ very polite but ambiguous hint to the only thing that could be done.
 That very night there was a ball under Imperial auspices and the ex- Kaiser there and then announced the engagement of his neice to the Duke.
 It was bit of shock even to such a well-tamed Princeling as the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-G -Gotha, but he wisely did his mutterings in private.
 To tell the truth. the Duke, despite his years of residence in Germany, had not forgotten a certain pretty Princess with whom he had played as child, and had now grown into a beautiful girl. Sometimes when he had been in danger of being ragged she had chtvalrously taken his part, and altogether the young Princess, who was his junior by 9 months. ap- pealed to him as his ideal of grace and beauty. She was only l 8 then, and he was some months off his ma jority, and he had fostered the ideal of one day marrying her.
 In due course the young Duke mar ried the girl that . was chosen for him. It proved to be an unhappy marriage, and more than once he tearfully talked of dissolving it, but his weak nature prevented him from talking of it or taking any steps that might displease the Kaiser.
 A ScuITilous Attack on Britain.
 The war came upon the Duchy with all the force of the unexpected. The ex-Kaiser and his fellow-plotters never condescended to take the Duke into their confidence. He was a noodle and a nonentity, and when the proper time came he and his handful of sol diers were drafted into the Prussian army, and the Duke became an officer in the German army, though he never saw actual fighting.
 It did not trouble the War Lord that the Duke of Saxe- -Coburg- Goth a was still a member of the British House of Lords by virtue of his Duke dom of Albany.
 When someone reminded him that the Dowa ger-Duchess of Albany still resided in Esher he was not impress ed.
 'Leopold will do as I tell him, not as his mother wishes,'' he said 1oftily. He has satisfied me that he is a patriot. I do not trouble myself about the foreign relations of my German subjects
 And the ex-Kaiser was right. He had read the character of the treacherous Duke correctly. It might have been thought that the young Dukes sympathies might still have been in the land of his birth and up 1 brin ging, but he had become so com pletely Prussia nized that he riyalled q

MEAT CAUSE OF
 KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat forms
 uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day. eat 1t. but flush your kidnevs with salts occasionally. says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost para lyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel 1t from the blood. They be- come sluggish and weaken. then you suffer with a dull misery in the kid ney region. sharp pains in the back or sick headache, dizziness. your stomach sours. tongue is coated and rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get gore and irritated. obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night.
 To neutralize these irritating acids to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys. also 10 neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad- der weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in- 1ure, and makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink.-Adv.

the German press itself in his scurriI- ous attacks on this country.
 In a short address. which was printed an army order of the day, he accused Great Britain of having made the war and of conducting it with every imaginable horror. He hinted that his mothers life was in danger because of his relationship to her, and he declared that the whole British people were robbers and cut throats. and that ic was Germany's holy task to sweep them from the face of the earth.
 Today the Duke is moody, dissatis- fled and nervous. He sees his Duchy crumbling away before him, and he views his future with troubled eyes, and does not know where the price of the next meal will come from.
 The Duke of Cumberland.
 The Duke of Cumberland and Tev- iotdale, son of King George V. of Hanover, is A years of age. He was born at Hanover, and he married Thyra, Princess of Denmark, sister of Queen Alexandra, in 1878 at Co., penhagen. Although for many years he showed intense hatred for the fIo- henzollerns as the result of the Prus- sian bullies driving his father from the Kingdom of Hanover in 1886. yet his only son married the ex-Kaiser's only daughter, whilst when the war broke out the British" peer pumped for Prussianism. and never even
 once held up his hand against the German atrocities
 Although a first cousin of the late Queen Victoria and a brother-in-law of Queen Alexandria the Duke is not by any means well known in Britain for he has lived almost entirely at his home in Austria.
 The crime of the King of Hanover, which resulted in his being driven from the Kingdom of Hanover, had been that he refused to attack Aus tria in order that Prussia might get the lions share of the provinces Prus- sia and Austria had stolen from Den mark. The old Kaiser saw his chance. He swooped down upon lit tie Hanover. and added it to his do- minions, and at the same time he l which was indusputable the private property of the eXiled King. l The years went by and Wilh elm II. | became Kaiser.
