Your County Agent has just
returned from a visit to the boil
weevil section of South Carolina
in Hampton and Allendale coun-
ties, where he has had opportu-
nifty to study the agriculture
conditions of that section after
the advent of the weevil. This
is the third year of the weevil in
that section, the first being OBJ
served in the fall of 1917. The
damage during the first two
years was slight, but this year
practically no cotton is made.
Gins all over that section are
shut down. I visited one gin

sible prospect of 40 more.

Prospects Good

Reports from all sections were
never more favorable than at the
present time for the biggest and best
tobacco crop ever grown in this sec
ton. Planters have had an ideal
season for setting plants and but in
very few instances has it been neces-
sary to do any replanting, Sc we are
With anything like fa-
vorable season during the next few
months there will be fully two mill
ion pounds more hurley tobacco
grown in Greene county this season
than ever before. Farmers are be-
ing encouraged, 90, daily, by tobacco
men who keep posted on conditions,
and every indication indicates that
prices the coming season will be as
good as during the opening months

men are preparing to make extensive
Improvements in their houses--they

Foch Prepared
If Huns Balk

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Before
Thursday of the prestn week shall
have passed the German peace pIeni-
potentiarics at Versailles are to make
known in full to the delegates of the
Allied and Associated powers on what
points of the peace treaty hey acqui-
esce and what points they object to
and desire to be modified.
Thursday is the time limit for the
Germans to make known their views
on the peace treaty that has been
handed them. No extension has been
granted the Germans, who are ex-
pccted to present to the members Of
the peace Congress a voluminous rec
ord of objections and Of acceptance
of the clauses of the document Al
though the leaders throughout Ger
many have declared that the treaty
as framed is unacceptable and that it
will not be signed without modifca-
ton, the opinion in Paris seems to
prevail that after the representatives
of the allied and associated govern
ments have considered the objections
raised b ythe German plenipotenti-
aries and formulated their final re-
ply, the Germans will afix their sig
natures to the compact.
Marshal Foch is taking nothing for
granted as regards the probable ac-
ton of the Germans at Versailles. He
has made a visit to the occupied area
and has informed the council of four
of the military preparations that have
been made contingent on TIE Ger
mans refusing to accept the allied
peace terms.

Wilson Prevents
Publication Now
Of Treaty Terms

PARIS, May 20,-Owing to the
publication in German pane~s of GER
tain parts of the text OF the peace
treaty transmitted by the German
delegates, it was decided to permit
the French press to do likewise, and
it was semiofficially announced yes
terday afternoon that publication
would begin.
At late hour last night, how
ever, it is learned that President Will
son interposed a veto on the proceed
ure, which thereupon was abandoned
1t is impossible TO discover the rea-
son for this attitude, in view of the
fact that the Germans know more of
the text of the treaty than the allied
peoples, but it is assumed that the
President was unwilling to face the
criticism of the French, and per haps,
the American press when the exact
of certain clauses, notably
that pertaining to reparations, be-
comes known.
Sharp criticism of the French gov
ernment by socialists and conserva-
tives alike is expected to result from
the decision not to publish the treaty
text as demanded formally by the So
cialist group, as well as the committee
IN foreign relations.

bic for possibly your being here to-

up all over the cemetery, obscuring
from view, in many places, the graves
We cannot believe that our citizens
will not respond to such worthy
cause. They have never been known
to fail "when duty called and they
will not fail now; and if you feel the
slightest interest in the improvement
of the "Old Cemetery" this newspa-
per suggests that you contribute any
sum you feel able to give to Mr. H.
N. Baker, at the postoffce. He will
take it upon himself to see that these
necessary improvements are made at
once.
