TRENTON FARMERS
POISONING WEEVIL.

Trenton farmers believe they have
at last found something to kill the
boil weevil.
Mr.. Hill. of Cough, Ga, has got
out the following formula:
Gone pound calcium arsenic, dis
solved thoroughly in one quart Of
water,mixed with one gallon of cheap
molasses.
Mixture is put on plant with mop,
only few drops being put on. Makes
cheap poisonous. mixture that smells
like the cotton bloom. 49,, 80,
E. Ryan reports that he found
weevils and without disturbing them
he put drop of mixture on plant.
At once the insect moved about and
finally stuck his bill into the mix
ture. The next morning he found the
dead weevils under the stalk. This
will be freely used IN this county.

VALUE OF A TECHNICAL
EDUCATION

A technical education is the
best insurance against hard times.
In earning capacity, it may equal
an estate of $4,000. For the un-
trained arv the positions of poverty
and obscurity.
Times are hard in South Caro-
lima, but the cost of an education
at Clemson College is compara-
lively low-sufliciently low to I've
within the reach of any ambitious
young man in South Carolina.
Scholarships, free tuition and
the payment by the United States
Government X. o. +. c. students,
still further reduce the cost.
Do not allow the financial diff
culties to keep you from entering
college this fall to prepare your
self for the opportunities that lie
ahead.

duction Of about 10000 bushels, the
possible yield being placed at 1914
bushels per acre.
In the United States the forecasted
production of winter wheat is 621, O0O,-
900 bushels, a condition of 91T. This
estimate is more than 137, 600, 900
bushels above the 1920 April estimate
and slightly above 43, 900, 900 bushels
more than the 1920 final estimate.

When President Harding asked Mr..
Hoover to become secretary of com
merce the latter stipulated that he
would accept providing he could re
organize the department. To which
suggestion President Harding agreed.
Before March was over Mr.. Hoover
outlined a policy with reference to
trade with soviet Russia. The neXt
day Secretary Hughes talked an hour
before the cabinet on foreign rela-
TONS and his discourse is said not
to have been in agreement with Mr..
Hoover. Mr.. Hoover is a little more
conspicuous than some of the other
new men that have come to Washing
ton, but his statements and utter
ances fit the query Of William Shakes
peare: shall quips and sentences and
these paper bullets Of the brain awe
a mar from the career Of his humor?'
The famous secretary of commerce
is one Of the enthusiasts of the re-
established administration, and his
paper bullets are like those of other
men who are seeking public support
for their notions conceived to make
things better for everybody.

him at an age beyond which men now
adays are apt to aspire to the presi-
dency. A lot of fault is being found
with Senator LaFollette at this time
because he has blocked confirmation
of the appointment of John j. Esch
as a member of the interstate com
merce commission. The general be-
lief is that the differences between
Senator LaFollette and Mr.. Esch, UNI
til recently a congressman from Wis
consin, are personal and political. AT
one time they were intimate friends.
But Senator La Toilette uses the Esch
appointment as a basis for making n
new attack upon the railroad manage
ment of the country, which he says
rests in the hands of about twenty
five men. OF course that is popular
those who cry down with the or
porationS.' Just now Mr.. LaFollette
is being quoted throughout the coun-
try. 1t all goes to show how tickle
anu III Stilul IL Nht publlN mn ~
ii is unnecessary to recall the unpopu-
larity of the Wisconsin senator less
than two years ago. The ups-and
downs OF Senator LaFollette's career
are largely recorded in the pages of
tragedies but a lot Of people who reso,
lutely refuse to agree with him At
any time, insist that che must be
smart"
Everyone has felt that the screws
were down pretty tight during the
period of the war. In Washington
the restrictions were unusually exact
ing. There were special guards
everywhere and admission by pass
only was the rule rather than the
exception. The throwing open of the
White House gates Immediately fol
lowing the inauguration Of President
Harding had a fine effect upon the
spirit of the capital. and the Easter
e~gg-rolling on the White Lot was wei
coined with an enthusiasm this year
that has never been exhibited in any
year in all history. 1t is SAID that
so, 900 children, white and black, took
their Easter eggs to the White House
grounds; and when they were through
the place looked like a huge omelet,
With the repeal Of all wartime leg
i~slation on March 3, and the dropping
of most of the wartime customs, there
is a noticeable return to what Presi.
dent Harding calls normally; and this
extends not only to the affairs cor
nected with government, but reaches
out INTO every phase of national life.

cast says H. o. Herbrandson, agri-
cultural statistician for South Dakota.
The survey found the Identical num-
Der of breeding ows in Sout DAKOTA
that were found Il year ago, /. e.,
245.0O In 1919 the number was
$4,000.
The number of breeding sows in the
United States was found to be s.
766. 900 on April 1st this year. one
year ago the number was S,9S5,OOO.
in 1919 the number was 100000. Ihls
reduction in numbers is of course PR
marily due TO the REIMBURSEMENT after
the tremendous war period imitation
when hog prices We're more than 25IC
above what they have been for many
months.
The farm labor situation has been
completely ~transposed since one year
ago, both in South Dakota and the
nation as a whole. South Dakota was
found TO have a supply of 114Hc com
pared with n year ago, while the
farm demand was but $500 of II year
ago. Thus the per cent of supply TO
demand in this state Is 1880. Last
year this ratio was $3.50.
In the United States farm labor de-
mand is but $3.50 of the normal de
mand. The decline in value of all ag-
r%icultural products during the past
ten or twelve months is the sole rea-
son for the falling off in demand tor
farm labor. The farmer is retrench-
ing in every way possible.
A brief weather summary for the
month of March as furnished by the
weather bureau is as follows: The
average temperature of the state dur
ing March was decidedly above normal,
the greatest excuses generally being
in the southeast quarter. There was
a moderately cold period from about
the Sth to 18th; another on the 20lh
and DIST, and a third covering the
closing days. The average precipita-
ton was near normal. 1t was above
normal over most of the eastern half
of the state and below normal over
most Of the western half. The great
est monthly totals occurred in the
central eastern counties. AS a rule
the greater part fell during the storm
of the 26th-27th, except in the north
west and extreme northern parts Of
the state where substantial amounts
occurred on earlier dates, and where
the precipitation during the storm was
comparatively light.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL

1t is interesting to note the sup
pressed air of excitement towering
about the national capital, oc~casiored
by the visit Of Rene Vivian, former
premier of France. During the war
there was a Balfour, or a Northclitfa,
or a Foch, being let in at the White
House nearly every week. They all
got lots of hurrahs from the public
and bales Of money from the treas
ury, and then they went on their
way, ito prevent crowding." Ameri'
cans know little about Viviani, but he
has been pulled out of the past to be
injected into the future Of the inter,
national pageant. The capitol has re-
sounded with its vive Viviani III a
way that would almost lead one to
believe that a prodigal lost son was
showing up.
Viviani announced: 81 come to the
United States to pay the respects OF
France to President Harding To be
ore precise, the visit is important
because it Is for the undoubted pur-
pose Of attempting to evolve a def,
mite policy for the United States with
reference to Europe. France has
picked an able son for the task OF

SPRING HOUSEKEEPING

When sap is rising in the trees,
And life begins to thrill
In twiny twig and barren sod,
When larks are flinging skyward
AS they madly sing their glee,
When turtle doves more calmly coo
Their call from tree to tree;
When dogs are bowling weirdly
At the moon, the whole night long,
And lovelorn youth his tuneless voice
Is lifting up in song
Each speaks the inner restlessness
That Springtime always brings
To bud and bee, to man and maid
To persons and to things.
This urge comes to the good housewife,
1t says to her each Spring,
ITS time to start through all the house
And e up everything;
The time is acre to beat the rugs
And pound the carpets, too,
And put new paper on the walls,
Come on, there's lots to do
Poor hubby comes home from his work,
No supper greets his view;
No cheerful fire on the hearth,
The house is cherries, too.
There are no pictures on the walls,
No carpets on the floors,
He barks his shins or countless chairs,
And bumps into the doors.
He wonders what it all can mean,
And where he'll find his spouse,
Then he remembers suddenly,
90, yes! We're cleaning house
Of course we know it must be done
And that the time is here
But, glory be, housekeeping m
Just once or twice a year.
