BOIL WEEV!L POISONING

Clemson College, May 31.-To
meet the demand for specific infor-
nation on boil weevil poisoning,
Prof. A. +. Conradi, Entomologist for
the State Crop Pest Commission, has
issued. through the Extension Ser
vice, Information Card No. 7, EMIT
led Boil Weevil Poisoning in South
Carolina in 1920" The card consists
of pertinent questions and concise
answers regarding such matters as
the advisability of poison to use,
how obtained, machines for applica-
tion, when first applied and repeated,
etc.
Emphasis is laid on the following
facts:
/, That boil weevil poisoning,
though still in the experimental
stage, is likely to become an import
ant factor in wccvil control.
,. That it is merely safeguard
against ruinous damage and will not
cXtcrminate the wcevil.
3. That it is recommended for 1920
only in those coast and ncar-coast
counties where the weevil is in its
third and fourth year, and only on
land th&y would produce ut least
half bale in the absence of weevl
damage.
4. That calcium-arSenatC from any
reliable source, conforming to Gov
crnment specifications, is the poison
to be used.
,. That the wheel tractor dustcr
seems the most satisfactory duSting
machine, though the hand dustor is
valuable for use on small scale.
8. That duSting should begin when
infcstation reaches II or 20 per cent.
should be repeated three times five
days apart, with further applications
if needed to keep the infestation
down to 25 per cent.
7. That whoever poisons in South
Carolina in 1920 must realize that he
is experimenting, that mistakes un-
doubtcdly will be made, and that un-
satisfactory results may be secured.

Der. The rapid rise to supremacy in
the production Of crude rubber of
the islands of the Indian Ocean, com

Staging the Comeback.

Reports of world industrial activity and trade
for 1920 have given the pessimists an awful jolt.
These reports from consular agents show that
Europe is rapidly coming back to stable conditions
The only hopelessly black spot is Russia and
those regions that have surrendered themselves to
the blight OF the Russian pestience. In all of
Western Europe recovery has been rapid in this
second year following the
The exports of Germany for the first half of
the year twenty times larger than for the
same month of 1919. Her progress is known to
have been still more marked in the second half of
ihe year which included Christmas trade.
Belgium in the first nine months of the year,
increased her exports six times the period
OF 1910. AT the same time she was rebuilding
devastated regions, factories, highways railroads
and canals.
France along with restoration of her war des-
erts, exported in ten months two and half times
as much in those months of last year.
Great Britain and Italy nearly double their
exports. Their chief trouble industrialy is now to
find markets and this is not peculiar to them.
Czecho- Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia Hungary, Greece
and Austria have an encouraging report of increased
effort, production and exports.
This expected OF the neutrals as of Japan,
Australia and New Zealand The facts bear out the
expectation And while increasing exports the
allied powers have reduced the ratio of imports
Several factors which 1921 promises to adjust. First
probably, is reaching final settlement of the war
claims against Germany.
Others the huge armaments still maintained
All the people is poured out again largely
m taxes to support their armed forces. Just reason
able disarmament would almost at once solve most
OF the economic problems.
Long-term credits for raw materials and the
exchange of manufactured goods, readjustments OF
exchange, revival of buying, increase Of general
puTchasing power all of these would follow with
ronhdence in returning stability upon the heels of
fdisarnnament
It is the promise of 1921 that in twelve months
the world will discard lis garb and resume its
ways of peace; will turn rom suspicion and folly,
to confidence and sanity, and permit at least the
major part of what is squandered in ornaments
to be used to promote industry, trade and human
welfare.

Good-By, Good Radiance.

Mr. Ludwig X. Y. Z. Martens is to leave this
country for the country's good. He came here un-
sought and unasked the official representative Of
Soviet Russia. By mistaken courtesy he al
lowed to land
Though given every evidence that he not
wanted he has stayed. His government, OF which
he was the official agent, has openly, boastngly,
with trumpets blowing, plotted for the overthrow
OF this government.
At last after long -drawn-out and laborious in
vestigatons he has been ordered deported. There
upon his government recalls him, ordering him to
shake from his boots the unholy capitalist dust Of
this soil, cancel $5o,oooooo of orders for goods,
pack his dolls and blue dishes and return to the
heaven of the proetariat.
He will CO. But he will be deported. He will
60 because sent, not because sent for. Nor will
there be any loss through the cancellation of the
S5ooooooo of orders supposedly placed for his gov
crnment.
For just less than year this government has
permitted trade with Russia. If Mr.. Martens has
had Ssoooo,ooo of real money to spend he has had
ample opportunity to get rid of it, if it the
legitimate property of his government"
But a British Judge has recently given de-
csion which has made sad crimp in British eager
ness for Soviet trade. An Englishman accepted a
quantity OF lumber in payment for other materials.
The owner OF the lumber from whom the Soviets
had stolen it, appealed to the courts and this de-
csion upheld his claim.
AS the courts of the United States would un-
doubtedly make like decision in any like case,

past, which has proved that If the way to mems
hearts is through their stomaehs the way to their
conscience and moral sense is through their purse.
So long prohibition based its pleas on morals
and a reduction of crime it failed For years and
years its proponents deluged the country with all
forms of propaganda to stir the moral sense and
conscience of the people to action. Their move
ment grew at snail's pace.
Then the assault on the liquor traffic was sud-
denly changed to show its economic folly, its waste
of wage, its loss to thrift its in purchasing
power. its damage from carelessness and drunken
inability to think.
The result was almost magical. The sna's
pace was quickened to motor racing speed. State
after State voted dry and national prohibition fol
lowed.
For generation the plea for disarmament has
been similarly based on an appeal TO moral action.
1t would prevent war. 1t would save human life.
To kill is wicked, and on through the list. But
the rivalry in armed preparedness grew fat that
kind of fodder
! Now it has become problem in economics.
A world brought to poverty, hunger and dire want
by war is still faxed the bread it must have to live,
the clothes to its nakedness, the fuel to keep
it from freezing, the materials to give it honest em-
ployment and is kept in that state by the taxes to
maintain war ornaments.
1t is falsely held in a state of abject fear.
Every nation fears every other nation and even
itself 1t not only against others, but against
itself 1t is grievously afflicted with state of mind.
1t shudders at shadows and turns pale at words.
1t is useless to talk morals at such time 1t is
equally useless to argue against war, when, for
hundreds of thousands, war is the only of
getting enough to eat.
But where disarmament will let men keep what
they have and have what they earn; when it will
furnish markets, save investment, provide credits,
end unemployment with its threat of radicalism,
feed the hungry and replace fear with confidence,
the argument is conclusive.
The World has shown its keen newspaper
sense in seizing the psychological moment for its
propaganda 1t is committing the best brains Of
all countries to its proposition and it may well
build up a resistless public opinion.

General Reports.

L. s. Military Academy at West
Point has undergone fundamental
changes since the war and the train
ing system has been rebuilt on an
understanding Of the mechanics OF
human feelings, according to Brig.
Gen. Douglass Macarthur, superin-
tendent. in his annual report to the
Adjutant Generals office Of the War
Department, made public yesterday.
That the old rigid army methods
have been swept into the past to
remain there forever is the generals
statement. Liberalization OF con-
ception and a new psychology Of
command is the advantage OF the
new system, he declares.
The results" says Gen. Mac
Arthur. have transccnded the most
sanguine expectations; they will be
felt throughout the army at large
with the graduation of the classes
now under instruction" Increase
of responsibility on the part Of the
cadet in matters Of school disci-

The secret of success is constancy to
purpose.-Disraeli
The Kansas Industrial Court.

THE decision of the Kansas Industrial Court in
the Topeka -four mills casc that it is an OBJ
legation upon industry to provide continuous
employment for its skilled employees despite de-
mand for its products, will cause economists to
think.
If this is obligation of industry, then some
body has obligation to buy the products at a
price that will pay these wages and will give a
reasonable return upon capital Otherwise, no one
will enter upon the manufacturing business.
As the public cannot be induced to buy two bar
rels of -four when it needs only one, it would ap-
pear that the State must be the buyer. All this is
the veriest nonsense.
Will the court hold that the Kansas farmer
must employ skilled hands whether the public buys
his products not? Or will it guarantee continued
employment to the skilled farmer himself? Is he
not engaged in essential industry?
Our wage system is predicated upon wages ad-
justed to the intermittency OF employment We pay
lower wages in industries where employment is
continuous and higher wages where it is intermit-
tent. Our system presupposes savings from this
higher wage against the days of unemployment
Industry must be free to shift its labor from
one type OF production to another with the ebb and
flow OF demand. Ii there is an obligation to con-
tinuous wages, it be an obligation upon the
State The essence OF the problem is not to create
useless commodities but to living to men,
and this leads to either voluntary saving, or COM
pulsory saving under unemployment insurance al
the haGds of the entire community.
Kansas has been of the great laboratories
Of eoonomic legislation. Now that Kansas con-
redes an obligation somewhere, why cannot Kan
sas lead Of With real insurance plan? 1t at least
has the merit OF placing the burden where it
belongs.
