WEEVLS, WEATHER
AND POISON

Clemson College, June 16.-As the
weather conditions constitute the
determining factor in the amount OF
boil weevil damage from year to
year, so will the weather directly af-
feet the poisoning work from year
to year, according to Prof. A. F. Con-
radi, entomologist, who states that if
during the early part of the fruiting
eason there is a month or more of
hot and dry weather we may expect
that this will control the weevil suf-
tciently to make dusting not neces-
sary or profitable. On the other
hand, if this is period of frequent
rains, the weevils will multiply very
rapidly and severe loss may be ex-
pected. The midday showers of 81
rainy sason have a tendency to cause
shedding of many squares and young.
oollS. This results in concentra-
ton of weevils on the remaining
fruit, thus aggravating the situation.
During the dusting season the
weather may be so rally that it is i'm
possible to keep coat of poison on
the plants sufficiently long to be of
value. But farmers should not he
duly afraid of threatening weather
after poisoning mas started. Expert
ence so far would indicate that every
effort should be made to apply the
poison as nearly as possible according
to schedule. Since the weather con-
ditions vary in different localities,
the procedure can be determined on
ly during the dusting season and for
each locality individually.

HOGS HELP IN FIGHT
AGAINST BOIL WEEVIL

"Comanche,-Th section has one
farmer who not only has no fear of
the boil weevil, but actually turns it
to an advantage. His name is w. B.
Starting, and he lives near Blanket,
about 10 miles southwest of Com
anche. He says he has now about n
half bale of cotton to the acre matur-
ed with good prospects of continued
maturity. He has his farm fenced in
to subdivisions with hog-proof
fences. As soon as the boil wecvil be-
gins to make its appearance he turrs
his hogs into the cotton field He
has about 30 to 35 head Of pigs big
enough to eat and range, and these
pigs gather every fallen form pune
tured by the wCevil and knock off the
punctured forms which still adhere

BUDGET SYSTEM ADOPTED

Congress has passed the budget bill
and the President has signed it.
As it is probably not generally
known what budget in the financial
sense is like, ih:s explanation
may be useful:
budgt system requires that the
income and the expenditures of a
government be definitely adjusted to
each other in advance. If the budget
Is to be made scientifically, the frs.
step is to find out what the necessary
expenses for the year are to be, then
to establish a tax rate that will pro-
ducc that sum.
Governments like the government
of Great Britain can enforce as well
as draft budget so made. The cabi-
net, which is the executive power.
controls the Legislative, which is the
appropriating and taxing power, be
cause if it has not such control il
must resign. In the British govern
m"nt the House of Commons cannot
increase or cut down an apprGDria-
ON, or change tax rate; or, rather,
the House of Commons does not per-
NIT itself to make such changes un-
less it is prepared to oust the min
!stery.
1t is believed that millions Of doll
ars viii be saved by the new system

If Pennsylvania boasts that I,iber-
ty was Graded within her boundaries
South Carolina may claim with even
greater justice to be the true birth
plac of the Goddess on this CONT
nent. The glamour which has been
shed around the mighty events which
took place in Philadelphia in 1776
has unjustly obscured the fact that it
was I'M South Carolina American in
dependence was first proclaimed and
that it was the eloquent voices and
stout hearts of her sons which gave
the Initial impetus to democracy and
freedom in these United States.
1t should lie Of peculiar interest to
the readers of the Atlantic Coast
i1erchant to note that the first great
advocate '' lr.l, snGence was not a
soldier or politician, but a great
merchant, Christopher Gadsden of
charleston. Long before the Decla-
ration of independence even existcd
as possibility in the mnds of its
s'gners Gadsder was preaching the
ttctrin of freedom under the famous
Liberty Tree in his native city. With
the vision of a great statesman he
foresaw the inevitable struggle and
was the first to urge that the colo
nists must stand shoulder to shoulder
in the Great Defiance and that every
petty sectional jealously must be-
Abandoned for the sake of the con-
mon cause. At time when even
such men as Adams, Otis, Washing
ton and Henry recoiled from The
thought Of severance from the moth
er country Gadsden was boldly pro-
claiming that absolute independence
was the only solution. The powerful
influence which the lofty character,
distinguished ability and high ideals
of this merchant prince exerted over
his fellow citizens is signally demon
strated by the fact that South Caro-
lima was the first colony 20 adopt an
Independent form of government and
Christopher Gadsden was the framer
of its constitution.
When the issue was once drawn
and the colonists entered upon the
desperate enterprise of resisting the
might of England by arms it was men
of South Carolina whom won the first
decisive victory for the cause of free

the Larvae thus devoured and seem to
be especially fond of the combined
vegetable and animal diet.
"In addition to destroying the en-
tire weevll crop,they loosen up the soil
without the slightest damage to the
plant, in their rigid cleaning up of
the fallen forms. Fields adjoining or
adjacent to his farm where no hogs
have been ranged will not make cot
top enough to pay for the picking.
Mr.. Startling is Will known as a man
