BANK EXPERT SAYS EUROPE CAN
NEVER PAY UP.

Owing the United States 1S.000.000.-
N0, Europe is bankrupt and probably
yer will pay its debts. in the opinion
Of Mark q. Prentiss, chairman of the
hoard of directors of the Bankers For
eign Credit clearing house.
Mr.. Prentiss. who is in Washington
participating in conferences on the
foreign exchange situation, said re-
Gently that he looks for the repudia-
tion by the allies of their enormous fl
nancial obligations, as the way out
""ho world is sitting on n volcano
that ms start its eruption any time.
with the result that the financial struc-
Hre of the world, AS we have grown ac-
cnstomed to it, will be destroyed" said
MT. prentiss.
1t is known that the house committee
on ways and means, after thoroughly
canvassing the question of the payment
OF interest on the loan of $4,000, O0O,-
900 to the allies by the United States.
has given tacit approval to the plan
of funding these demand loans into
longtime obligations. Tho committee
became convinced that the allies could
not pay the interest of $4,000, 900 II
rear. and concluded that the funding
process, combining interest with prin-
cipal, is the only way out
Mr.. Prentiss said foreign exchanges
are likely to continue their decline I'M
iii they reach The vanishing point. the
money of many foreign countries he
coming absolutely without value in in
tcrnational exchange, possibly within
the next few months.
THE nations of Europe he said,
are now trying to devise some form OF
promises to pay which partake of Ii
character of receivership certificates.
Few men have any hope that any part
of the international debts will be paid

w don like to disclose Great
Britain's plight the banker continued.
but here are the conditions:
Before the war Great Britain had
S20,O 900, 900 invested throughout
the world. This has been reduced 40
per cent by forced sales. s~hrinkage. de
struction and other causes, leaving 3d.
000,0OO ,000. The income of Great
Britain last year was $1O,O00,G0O a
day less than her national expendi-
lures and it is estimated the discrep-
ancy is greater today. Her interest
charges are $1,S4O. 0O0, 900. against Il
pre-war interest charge Of $122,500,-
600.
The condition of France is much
worse because France has not attempt
ed to pay any appreciable part of its
war deb by taxation. 1t expected to
pay the debt out of big war mdemni-
ties from Germany, which nave disap-
peared into thin Yapor, and through
recovery of loans to Russia, which no
one now would consider assets.
The condition Of Italy is deplorable.

Still Doing Good Work.

Pastor L. ]. Bristow and his people
of the First Baptist church of Able.
Vile, have been conducting withou:
outside help a truly good meeting.
Large congregations have been in at
tendance upon the services, and many
new members have been received. We
take the following from letter from
Pastor Bristow, written before the
meeting closed: "We have received
several new members-among them
four first-class men-three heads OF
families, whom l have baptized. One
young man was William F. Jones
(son of a Methodist father), who was
decorated by Haig, Pershing and Foch
for conspicuous heroism on the field
of battle, but decorated in baptism by
one higher as l said to him in open
meeting, when he presented himself" j"

Curing Tobacco.

For the benefit Of the many South
Carolina farmers who are growing
tobacco for the first time, the follow
ing suggestions on curing are condens-
ed from Extension Bulletin 43. "To-
bacco Culture in South Carolina"
About the time the seed pods begin
to bloom the bottom leaves Of the to.
bacco plant commence to turn yellow
and mature. AS soon as sufficien:
number of leaves mature, harvesting;
and curing may commence. There are
two methods Of curing; one the "stall;
cure" and the other the Cropping;
method" In the "stalk cure" method
the entire stalk with all of its leaves
is allowed to mature and the stalk is
split down the center nearly to the
ground, where it is cut off and the
split stalk with the leaves attached,
is placed astraddle of the "stick" to
be carried to the barn. Except in
rare instances, or when the crop is
grown with this method Of harvesting
in view, it is advisable to cure this
way. The preferred method of har-
vesting is the cropping method"
In this method the leaves are picked
off as they ripen, which they general
ly commence to do near the bottom
of the plant. The leaves picked
should be of uniform color and ma
turity. With little practice this can
be done readily.
The leaves are then carried to the
barn and attached to the stick by
means of strings. A string is tied
to one end of the stick and near this
end it passes around the stem of three
to five leaves, thus forming small
bunch which will hang on one side OF
the stick. The string is then drawn
squarely across the stick TO the other
side and looped around another bunch
of leaves. This process is repeated
until the stick is "full." The free end
of the string is then tied to the stick.
The stick is now ready to be hung in
the barn for curing. Unless crowded
for curing room, it is best not to place
too many leaves on the stick. Sticks
are usually riven out of pine logs and
should be 4 #. 6 in. long Ito conform
to the tier poles in the barn), and
about 1 in. by Y in. in size. Another
method sometimes used is the Snow
system and should be used more wide
ly.
The usual methods Of getting the
leaves from the barn are the baske:
method, in which baskets made fo:
that puruose are used. and the trucl;
method. The baskets used for carry
ing tobacco from the fields to the
barn are 2 feet wide and feet long,
and. from 18 to 20 inches in height.
These baskets may be made with
white oak splits, by local basket max
ers, and should be made rigid enough
so that they may be stacked one upon
another when full of tobacco, or they
may be bought from tobacco basket
manufacturers.
The trucks may be bought from
manufacturers, or they may be home
made. They are easily constructed
and are about 2 feet wide. to feet
high. These trucks are drawn from
the field to the barn by horse power.
They are drawn between the tobacco
rows near the persons who are "crop.
ping" or pulling the leaves. AS the
leaves are gathered they should be
placed in the trucks gently all one
way until the truck is full.
