A BOND ISSUE INSTEAD OF TAX
ALTON.

Columbia, Dec. 2S "A bond issue
for public buildings instead Of state
appropriations for permanent i'm

on January IL. The University, Win

for appropriations to cover the cost
or new buildings, but it is likely that
these will meet with tough sledging.
Raven l. McDavid, of Greenville,
prominent member OF the house of
representatives, in a statement today,
advocated bond issue for public
buildings, instead of appropriations,
and it is understood Governor Coop
er is in favor of such plan.
Il will have to vote against appro-
prlating tax money for permanent i'm
prOvements to our state institutions
this year." said Mr.. McDavid in his
statement regarding the need of
new buildings. They will be able
to finance themselves until the bonds
can be voted TO take care of the need
cd improvements. They are built for
posterity, and posterity should pay
part OF the cost
Mr.. McDavid also expresses him
self as favoring a survey of the needs
of the state institutions. Il would
like to see the state employ a COM
petent engineer make Il survey Of all
present state property and buildings,
to submit estimates Of the needs of
the various institutions for the next
ten years. We could then see just
what we have and also get Il very ac-
cu'ate idea OF what the state needs
and the amount Of bonds the state
should issue for the purpose

ceived the following telegram from

err: .
There is no such compelling want
In the world anywhere today as in the
lana where Christ was born. While
the rest Of the world is at peace, war
mas never ceased there since 1914.
Nh1le elsewhere in the world there
are governments which are to some
extent able to protect and care for
the helpless dmOng their people, in
the Near East there is no stable gov
ernment. While in Europe friends
and relatives may send money and
clothing and food by post, in the
Near East there is no way to send
anything to the suffering peoples save
through the agency Of the American
Near East Relief
From the Mediterranean to the
Caucasus Mountain, from the Aegean
to the Caspian and the Red Seas
thousands upon thousands Of human
being Christians are wandering home
less and hopeless in the dead of WIN
ter. Little children are dying by the
roausides, little lost children who
have forgotten their names and whose
boytood has been one long marty
dom of exile and flight like that flight
Of old in Egypt.
THE only help, the only hope of
THESE people is in america. With pa
thetic faith they look to us to save
them. We can do it. The Near East
Relief appeals to every American
family to take one or more of the or
phans whom American charity Is

BOIL WEEVIL POISONING.
Suggestions And Outlook i'm South
Carolina for 1921.

Clemson College, Dec. 23.-Answer-
ing inquiries in regard to cotton boil
weevil poisoning in South Carolina in
1921, the division of entomology gives
the following information:
The dusting work of the govern
ment, conducted over an extensive
acreage in 1920, showed advantage in
favor of the poisoning. and gives fur
ther encouragement for the proba BILE
ultimate success OF poisoning when
the material is properly applied under
good farming conditions and more ia
Vorable seasons than those of 1920
1t must be remembered that this work
was conducted with the most approx
ed machinery, under the most Skill
ful direction Of capable entomologists,
and mainly in the Delta region, where
farming conditions are markedly uni
form.
In Alabama the work was conduct
ed under the direction of the Alabama
state entomologist and showed in gen.
eral favorable results Similar re-
suits were obtained by the Sea Is
land Station, Valdosta, Ga.
The work in South Carolina show
ed variable result with no material
gains, but it must be remembered
that the weather conditions for pois-
oning in South Carolina in 1920 were
about as adverse as possible; and it
must be further remembered that
the machine situation was handicap
lped and that We had everything to
learn.
Poisoning is a serious and compli-
Gated problem, and our attitude must
be conservative. The danger Of over
doing 1t in 1921 is fully as great as
In 1920, because the weevil has reach
ed the injurious stage over q larger
area. A number OF details must yet
he worked out before poisoning can
DO generally recommended without
limitations to the average farmer.
If there is one thing that we have
learned more decidedly than anything
| else. 1t is tho great necessity for the
planter to study the problem with
much greater seriousness ard person
al attention than heret' ore. The
planter who intends to learn some
thing about poisoning is urged to Sc
cure moderate priced approved ma
chine and be prepared to apply the
material thoroughly and sstrictly ac-
cording to direction, with a view of
learning fundamentals involved
The machine situation is not yet
settled. and farmers are advised to
study this phase Of the question with
great care SO as to avoid serious
| mistakes.
The plans for 1921 in progress in
clude experimental and educationa
work, and unless weather conditions
are entirely unfavorable, it would APP
pear possible to develop the poison
ing system to where it could be en-
ployed moro generally by the average
farmer with reasonable assurance OF
4 success
