Champagne Industry Survive.


Although Americans can take little
more than an academic interest in
champagne, the fact is that Frances
champagne industry was not ruined
by the war. An inventory has been
taken of the wine cellars in the de-
vastated districts and the report has
been most favorable. The Germans
occupying Rheims for short period
in 1914 managed to use 10000
bottles of champagne, but even this
large amount is not missed among the
hundred million bottles left in
Rheims and the Epernay district.
Although the wine-makers in this
part of France were all in the army,
the women carried on the work so
successfully that in 1915 ten million
bottles were exported and in 1917
2O,OOo,ooo.
When the great German offensive
was at it's height in 1913, the famous
wine-cellars of Epernay, Chateau
Thierry, and Dormans were in dan
ger of being ruined by the invaders.
The French, however, carefully hid
this great store of champagne and
mined the cellars at the same time,
so that in case the Germans did re-
main victors in this district the
French could blow up the stores rath-
er than lose them to the enemy. But
they were saved and champagne is the
most popular wine in Paris today and
selling at the modest price of 12
francs a bottle.

THE REAL DOCTRINE
reenwood Index-Journal.

The city recorder of Savannah de-
serves a distinguished service cross
if he does what he says he is going
to do. He has tried out every sort
of sentence almost on speed fends
and now he tells the motorists of Sa
vannah that in the future he will give
every violator of the speed laws E
straight jail sentence. There will be
no fine, or alternative of fine. Tt
Jail they will have to go. Then he
adds:
"This thing of endangering the
lives of pedestrians and others on the
streets by some great rate of speed
is going to stop. l find that fnine
such persons does no good. They pay
the fine and within a short while
are up again for the only thing that
will break up this fast and reckless
speeding and that is what it is going
to be hereafter"
Commenting on this the News anc
Courier says:
Really, this remedy would also be
an excellent thing for other cities
than Savannah. Small fines have lit
tie effect on persons who are incon.
siderate of the rights and privileges
of others and a few jail sentences in
Charleston would have a most salu
tary effect on wilful violators of es-
sential traffic laws and regulations
Jail punishment and a revocation Of
license, with a stiff punishment fo1
driving without a license, will teach
the more defiant chauffeurs that
their rights are not all-embracing."
Reckless and fast driving in anc
around Greenwood, just as in othe,
towns, must come to a stop. Wher
our officials begin sending arch of.
tenders to Jail, there will be more
consideration of the laws and of the
rights and lives of other people.

TO LESSEN WEEVIL DAMAGE.
Turn Under Cotton Stalks Now, Says
Prof. Conradi-Weevil Conditions
Have Been Ideal.

Clemson College, Oct. 24.-The
cotton boil weevil has had most ideal
conditions this fall for spreading over
a wide territory. When the dry
weather set in and the fruiting stop
ped, migration started, and at the
present time the weevil has reached
a line passing little south of Green
wood through Bookman, Camden,
and approximately Darlington.
Weevil damage on many farms in
the southernmost part Of the state
was severe during the past season,
but portion of the damage for
(which the. weevil is held responsible
was due to weather condition, says
Prof. A. F. Conrad, State Entomo-
logist. Serious injury may be ex-
1pected in Beaufort, Charleston,
/Hampton, Allendale, Barnwell, Cole
ton and Bamberg counties next sea-
son. It is extremely important, at
this time, that the very best atten-
ton is given to the destruction of all
cotton stalks at the earliest possible
date.
Over many farms in the southern
part of the state the fruiting Of cot
ton is over, and the stalks can be
destroyed without any loss in the
crop. This may be accomplished by
Lehopping the stalks with a stalk cut
ter and plowing them under. Where
horsepower is available they may be
plowed under by having beam at
tached to the plow to knock down the
stalks so that they may be covered.
It is immaterial what method may
suit the individual farmer best, but
to allow stalks to remain on the cot
ton field is a most dangerous prac-
tice under boil weevil conditions and
is a sign of very careless farming.
Destroying the cotton stalks is the
lost effective control against the
pweevil.

WHITE ILLITERATES SHOULD
JOIN THE ARMY
r. B. Belser,
Sumter, S. G.

The enforcement of the Emergency
Act revealed to the people of the
United States the fact that large
percentage of young men of military
age were illiterate. Under the act
of 1899, no person who cannot reac
and write the English language may
be enlisted in the army. The emer'
gency act modified this so illiterates
may be accepted, and since May 1st
1919, non-English speaking citizens
have been enlisted. AS the emer-
gency act remains in force until the
ratification of the peace treaty, the
war department has authorized the
enlistment of all white illiterates,
who are otherwise qualified under the
act of 1919, for a period of three
years.
During the active period of the
world war, illiterates in the army
were trained in the development
battalions, and many man has left
the army able to both read and write
as result of such training. The
war department is carrying on this
work. It has established school at
Camp Upton, New York, to which all
men who fail to fulfill the require
ments of the act Of 1899, are sent for
special training in English. Recruits
at this school receive instruction in
English branches for three hours and
a military training for like period
daily. Thus the army builds the
mind and body simultaneously.
In this section there is very large
percentage of men Of military age
who are illiterate. These men can
now enlist and receive their educa-
ton at Camp Upton school.
Upon completion Of the course at
tl7c Camp i'ptcr school. the men can
enter an army vocational school. TIE

THE BOIL WEEVIL
AND LAND VALUES

The early arrival of the boil
weevil. whether or not he has already
arrived, may certainly be expected.
1t therefore becomes necessary for
us to determine the effect of it's COM
ing and the measures necessary to
meet the conditions thereby brought
about.
I know of no safer basis of judg-
Ing This than by the effects produced
der similar conditions in the same
Stude of the cotton states hereto
overrun by the boil weevil. Both
bama and Georgia have recently
gone through the experience which
now faces us. 1t will be noted that
the states as whole are still pro-
ducing about two-thirds of their
usual amount of cotton. 1t also
needs be noted that these two states
were overrun after methods Of COM
ting the boil weevil were pretty
i worked out, and therefore that
damage was comparatively light
I relative to the damage resulting IN
Louisiana and Mississippi.
Gf a study be made of the yields
from Alabama and Georgia by coun-
ties, it will be found that counties in
our latitude have been reduced much
less in yield than the average state
as a whole, AN that the lower coun-
ties of the state have been reduced
more.
It must be recognized however
that the arrival of the boil weevil has
produced serious condition during
- period of transition to farming
Methods necessary under boil weevll
conditions. This period lasted four
30 six years over Louisiana and
mississippi and has been reduced to
about two years in Alabama and
Georgia. There is no good reason
why, with the methods Of combating
he boil weevil we'll known and The
accumulated resources Of tie last
nree prosperous years, this territory
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1919-10-31

should not 1urCher reduce CnlS Lr2n-
sition period generalization.
Our farmers must at once prepare
to reduce their cotton acreage and
increase their acreage to corn and
velvet beans and to oats and small
grain. They will also have to arrange
to fence their lands as rapidly as
possible. Fenced fields are necessary
to get the greatest benefit and profit
from corn and velvet beans and from
the small grain crops. Fenced fields
are also essential to the profitable
raising of hogs and live stock. Lands
must therefore be fenced and the
number of hogs and cattle increased
as rapidly as possible. Profits from
the last three years should put our
farmers in position to do this. There
fore from financial standpoint our
section is in good condition to meet
the boil weeviPs arrival.
Let all interests remember that
this is an agricultural country; that
the new conditions must be met; and
that to that end all must cooperate.
It is up to every we'll Informed man
in the community to bring home to
the colored farmers of the county
(and the colored farmers of the COM
munity form majority and probably
cultivate half of the lands of the
county, the things they must do in
order to farm proftably under boil
weevil conditions. Tell them that
they must plant early varieties of cot
ton and get it planted early. 1t will
also be necessary for the landlords
to at least assist tenants in fencing
their fields and to require them to
increase the corn and velvet bean
acreage. This is going to prove one
of the most profitable substitute
crops. Early varieties of seed for
next years crop should be arranged
for now and the fences should be
built during the winter months when
the labor is not all required in the
preparation for and the cultivation
of the crops. These are only few
of the practical ways in which every
interest in the community can CO.
operate. If you neglect to do your
part, YOU will suffer with the farm
interests of the community.
Alabama has already recovered
from the disorganization incident to
the boil weevil's arrival and it is
considered by many there as bless
ing in disguise. It is even reported
that one county is preparing to erect
a monument to the boil weevil to
commemorate the benefits conferred
upon the community by him. l am
not sure that the monument is appro-
pirate as he does not seem to be dead
but only to have moved on; but at
any rate it illustrates the TACT that
his coming may not prove an un-
mixed evil, and that three years
hence we too may be in the humor
to erect a monument to him-parti-
cularly, if the new poison, calcium
arsenate, is successful in definitely
putting an end to him after he has
convinced this community that it is
profitable to raise corn and velvet
beans, with hogs and live stock, as
well as cotton.
And again, let US all remember that
the condition has been met, can be
met, and must be met; that this is an
agricultural country and that as an
agricultural country we must prosper;
that farm lands are the basis of
agriculture and that so long as our
people are here their values must
continue.
