THE COTTON RED SPIDER
Close Observation and Quick ActIor

Clemson College. The cotton plants
Of tho 1918 crop were perhaps more
generally infested with red spider
than ever before. Almost every mar
who planted cotton last year had Some
trouble with the red spider. II is e
pest that every cotton farmer should
know at this time.
Shall the 1919 cotton crop be infest

principally on tho individual farmer

While cotton planting was in prog
rcss New York bear sent out a pro-
phecy that cotton might bring SO
cents. OF course his idea and his
hope was that such report would
cause planters to raise such an i'm
mense crop that the price would drop
far below the cost Of production. 1t
is evident from the reports on cotton
reduction that this sharper did not
find the Southern farmer quite so
easily deceived as he thought they
would be.

Prof. Gi.beart II. Ceilings, of the
Agronomy Division. The soybean Ia
one of the most promising lesumes Of
the South. and surely the South needs
to grow legumes more than any other
group OF plants. In order that the
southern farmer may secure larger
and more profitable yields. the nitro.
gen and the organic matter OF the
soil must be built up. This can be
done probably only through the use
OF lsgumes in our rotations.
The soybean. sometimes called the
Sofa bean. soya bean. or stock pea,
was introduced into this country from
Japan during the latter part OF the
twentieth century. Altho It Is not a
native. the soil and climatic conditions
OF the southeastern states are ideal
for It's development. II Is an annual

test conducted by the Connecticut
Agricultural Experiment Station
found that from 100 to 1856 pounds Of
nitrogen was returned to the soil each
year when the crop was used for this

There Is an ever increasing demand

used for a large variety Of purposes.
One Of the principal demands comes
from the oil mills. The soybean seed

of the seed bed for cotton. How.

emphasized. for by giving the plants

In Memory of Mrs. Milton Moore.

On the morning of Oct. IL, 1918,
God came into the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. l. P. Morris and took from them
one of their loved ones. She YVES
sick only one week with influenza.
Twas hard to give her up. We
cannot say not to grieve, for it is
impossible for us not to grieve over
our loved ones. But let us live A
life so that when death calls for US
we may be ready to meet her where
there is no more sorrow and sad
good-byes. Her life here on earth
was short, but twas full of sunshine.
She always wore a smile and won
friends everywhere she went. We
cannot understand why God calls our
loved ones from us. But he needed
rose from Garth to bloom for him
in heaven, and Trilby could fill the
place. God knows best and does all
things for the best.
Trilby was 20 years of ago. She
was member of tho Cumberland
Presbyterian Church and Sunday
school and a pupil of tho Union City
Schools.
Last April she was united in mar
riage to the soldier boy, Mr.. Milton
Moore, who left next day after his
marriage for camp and now is in
France. She is survived by her
parents, three sisters, Mrs. Henry
Latimer, Trixic and Lois, and broth
er, Luther.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. w. B. Cunningham at the
residence on Third street and she
was carried to rest at Beech.

BEGINNING OF THE
END IS IN SIGHT

Interest continues to grow in this
vicinity over the new discovery, Iro-
gen, which scientists and leading
authorities are claiming is revolu-
tionizing the treatment of disease.
1t is claimed that Irogen is the
agent which supplies Nature with
the element which she requires for
the regeneration of blood and vital
powers. They say that it is now a
known fact that every nerve, muscle
and vital organ of the human body
draws it's nourishment, and therefore
it's strength, from the blood Thus
ones blood is the unfailing barome-
ter of the strength and health of
the body.
They advise the public to take no
chances, but If the nerves and mus
cles are not as strong as they should
be, if one feels weak, languid, blue
and discouraged; or if the food does
not digest properly or give natural
strength, no time should be lost in
supplying the blood with the
strengthening element found in Iro-
gen. If this is done, they declare
the nerves will gradually become
steady and the physical strength and
power of endurance and the natural
flesh will return, until one looks and
feels physically fit.
Warning is given, however, that
owing to its welI-known fesh-build-
ing powers, Irogen should not be
taken by anyone who does not de-
sire to add flesh.
Note-Irogen, the product men,
toned above, is now on sale in Union
City by divers Drug Store; in Ken
ton by Gem Pharmacy, and by the
leading druggists in practically every
city, town and village in the State.

From France.

My Dear Mama, Pops, Brothers
and Sisters: Several days have
elapsed since last wrote you and
even that letter or note he's not been
mailed. l gave it to one of the boys
to mail after our attack was finiChed.
Tonight we orc established way up
in the old German territory and are
in their old firmly established quar-
ters. Am taking the opportunity to
write a note to you, so you may rest
easy as to my welfare. OF course
you read of the big attack the Amer
leans began the other day. Well,
we were there end arc still on the
Job. Perhaps you will be surprised
when l say that the boche began
running when we attacked and
haven't been ccught yet, and this is
no Joke. Scared to hold their ground
under the anticipated crushing at
tack of our eca1oned divisions. OF
course there were few thousand
prisoners and lots CT material, but
the bulk, l thirk, must be running
yet. Anyway our boys, infantry,
find them. Fortunately, and as a
natural consequence, we have had
practically no casualties in our en-
tire attacking divisions. Wish you
could see the territory we have taken
hero, then form your own opinion
as to the present condition of the
German army. You see this terri
tory has been in the hands of the
Germans since 1914 and they ex-
pectcd to retain same.
Let us begin with the lines. There
were all kinds of trenches, barbed
wire entanglements, concrete dug
outs, etc. Trenches and dugouts
with electric lights, just think of it.
OF course the vandals had cut up
the roads so that they were terrible.
Back of their second lines there be-
gan a series of wonderful housings
for the troops. Every convenience,
practically shell proof houses and
dugouts, containing beds, lighted
with electricity, connected by board,
cinder or concrete walks, running
water, plenty of beer and wines. Now
we have gone in quite a distance
farther and find real luxury. In the
woods there are perfect parks con-
tanning the quaintest, yet comfort
BILE, quarters you can imagine for
soldiers; frame houses with tar paper
and many of them thickness of one
foot of dirt; then another wall, max
ing them dry and fairly well pro-
tected from shellsplinters, certainly
from rife balls. The outside of
many are covered with artistic de-

signs in natural wood with heavy
moss thickly matted. The insides
are wonderful; very nice wood work,
mission style furniture and walls,
electric lights simply studding the
ceilings and any place possibly
needed, carved hatracks, cabinets,
best of heaters for, all places, cush-
toned chairs, lounges and wall seats,
club rooms, bowling alleys, card
rooms, recreation rooms with pianos,
ETC., front porches of concrete, kitch-
ems, wonderful machine shops, car
penter shops and everything. The
stables are in keeping with other
buildings-concrete floors padded
with Is inches of straw, steel troughs
and bins, mama plates for the horses.
The buildings are frame with heavy
walls and ceiling, padded so that
they are as wGrm as toast, lighted
with electricity and provided with
running water inside; walks and
roads everywhere, rabbit hutches
chicken runs and everything you
could imagine for comfort and con-
venience. They were driven out so
quickly that there was practically
nothing burned or destroyed except
tons and tons of munitions. OF course
there are lots of tricks played in
these places such as leaving hand
grenades and bombs set to explode
when some particularly interesting
but innocent looking object is moved,
but very few accidents occurred. l
am sending couple of post card
pictures removed from the walls of
a German lieutenant's quarters. I
got good snapshot of particularly
nice bungalow.
Well, perhaps this will all get
tiresome, so with lots of love and
good wishes for my mother, father,
brothers and sister.
Your son and brother,
