"Better Sires- Better Stock"

Clemson College, Feb. 5.-The
county boil weevil conferences held
during Jan. in every county which
the weevil has reached, have given
an added impetus to livestock IN
South Carolina, since in seeking
safe farming program to recommend
in each county the conferences
naturally recommended the growing
of more and better livestock. Special
emphasis was placed upon hogs ana
the family dairy cow, and upon TIC
growing of sufficient feeds and pas
ture crops to make livestock really
profitable.
In practically every county the
conferences recommended the ell
mination of scrub sires in livestock
| production, and to help accomplish
this, the recommendations included
the following:
(a) The establishment and de-
Evelopment of Bull Associations and
other purebred sire organizations.
(b) Every farmer to join the
national "Better Sires-Better Stock
crusade.
The plan of the Better Sires-
Better Stock" campaign, which is
being waged by the United States
Department of Agriculture in con-
junction with the Extension De-
partments of the various agricultu-
raj colleges, puts emphasis >on the
use of purebred sires rather than on
ownership. Therefore any farmer
who uses only purebred sires is
eligible to enroll, even the sires used
belong to a neighbor or to an organi-
cation such as Livestock Associa-
ton ola Bull Association.
Blanks for enrolment can be OBJ
tanned from County Agents, who can
give detailed information and help
in securing the official emblem for
those who join the. movement and
thus place themselves on the honor
roll of progressive farmers and COM
munity benefactors.

NORTHERN KOREA is
- EVACUATED BY JAPS,
SAYS WIRELESS REPORT

London, Feb. 10.-Northern Korea
has been evacuated by the japanese,
it is claimed in a wireless dispatch
from Moscow today quoting al
Gmsk message. The population rose
tc aid Korean forces from Chinese
territory, it is declared.
The. Omsk message, as given IN
the bolshevik wireless, says that on
February 6, bands of Koreans raised
in Chinese territory, crossed the
frontier and attacksu khe Japanese.
Masses of the population are joining
the insurgents, it is added, the jap
anese retreating and evacuating
northern Korea.
800 Japanese Killed by Force Of
Koreans.
Washington, Feb. 9.-Official dis
patches received here today said q
force of 1000 Koreans, armed prin-
cipally with equipment furnished by
the Bolsheviki, crossed into northern
Korea from Kirin, Manchuria, and at
tackled a japanese post of 700 men at
hight, killed 800 of them and routed
the remainder.
According to these dispatches, the
attack was the initiation of an ac-
tive rebellion in Korea. 1t was de-
.cribed as "the beginning Of a tre-
mendous affair"
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-02-13
but the spector of trouble will be
kept in the background.

The administration evidently has
determined to hand the Mexican
problem over to the next president
and it's policy is to refuse to get eX-
cited over Carranza's antics, unless
there is some really serious break
comparable, for example, to Villas
raid in 1916.
Meanwhile, however, the govern
ment is watching events in Mexico
with the greatest interest. The MeNi-
can presidential elections in July, It
is believed here, may result in VIC
tory for a candidate who will be
friendly to the United States, in
stead of covertly hostile like Carran-
"a. In that event the Mexican prob
lem probably will cease to exist be-
fore President Wilson leaves the
White House.
Revolutionary developments below
the border are also being watched
with keen attention. 1t would not
surprise some officials here if Car
rama were overthrown before elec-
ton day by General Alvaro Obre-
gon. Carranza is anxious to post
none indefinitely the election on the
ground that uncertain state" ex-
lists in the country. Should he do so,
Obregon, strong contender for the
presidency, is expected to start
shooting. He has a large following.
The new policy with regard to
Mexico was entered into at the time
of the Jenkins cdisis." 1t was
formulated by President Wilson.
Secretary Lansing was engaged in a
brisk dispute over Jenkins imprison-
ment when President Wilson inter,
vened. The United States also lost
interest in the case, apparently, after
Mexico had caused Jenkins to be
elected from Jail, thus eliminating
the dramatic feature from the "cri-
SIS"
