POTATO GROWERS
TO HOLD MEETING

Columbia, June 28.-A large at
tendance of SWEET potato curing house
men is looked for at the annual meet
ing of the South Carolina Sweet Po-
! tato association to be held in the jeff
erson hotel, Columbia, promptly at
i12 O'Clock on Thursday of this week.
Probably the most important business
to be transacted is the development
of marketing plans for the handling
of this years crop, which from pre-
liminary estimates will greatly ex-
ceed that Of previous seasons.
The call for Thursdays meeting has
I'been directed to all of the potato men
of the state under joint invitation
| issued by the association, the South
Carolina development board and state
chamber of commerce and the eXten-
sion service of Clemson college. A
definite plan under which all three
organizations will cooperate in assist
ing the farmers Of the state in plac-
ing the sweet potatoes upon the mar
ket is being perfected.
The development board-state cham
,ber has placed itself squarely behind
the development and marketing of the
sweet potato crop Of South Carolina
and means to make it one of ,he most
important of the cash crops of the
state.
The board last October laid plans to
secure the services of a man who
knew the sweet potato game and was
an expert in sales service methods.
The business depression has lnterter-
ed with the boards plans, and only
the middle of this month did it find
itself in position to take up the work.
The new manager, Mr.. H. E. Hor-
ton, brings to the board the publicity
and sales service methods of the big
corporation, coupled with thorough
knowledge of the development of ag-
ricultural industrial by-products. Mr..
Horton will work to lay the founda-
ton of successful campaign and
perfect storage methods and develop
sweet potato .by-products, such as
syrup, cattle feed, vinegar, tlours,
starch, etc. p

Washington, June 28.-While pro-
hitbition leaders in the senate prepar-
ed today to tighten the nations liquor
laws through enactment of the Willis
Campbell bill prohibiting prescription
of medical beer, prohibition was fay
ed and berated by Senator Broussard,
Democrat, Louisiana.
Senator Broussard attacked the

ority," declared the Volstead enforce
ment great factor in the creation Of
discomfort and unrest and character
lied the Willis-Campbell bill as
merely the forerunner of the Vol
stead act, Junior (the proposed sup
Elemental enforcement act) which
will violate every principle upon
which the government was founded"
At the close Of his speech he intro
duced an amendment to the enforce
ment act to permit the manufacture,
production, use, sale and transporta-
ton for beverage purposes of beer,
ale and porter up to 5 per cent, alco-
holic content and wine up to IA per
cent alcoholic, in such states as so
desire by referendum vote.
The Willis-Campbell bill was re-
ceived from the house just prior to
Senator Broussard's speech and re-
ferred to the judiciary committee a

morrow to take action on it. Senator

RAILWAY RULES
AGAIN CHANGED
EMPLOYEES PAID FOR OVER
TIME ON NEW BASIS
Order Effective This Week Doe
Not Apply Where Agreement
is Made

Chicago, June 28.-RailWay EN-
ployees will be paid for all overtime
worked in excess of eight hours daily
at the prorata rate instead Of receiv-
ing time and one-half, under tenn
porary decision of the railroad labor
board today.
The order, effective July l, applies
to all who have reached agreements
with the roads regarding payment for
over time, or those, mostly in the
South, who were being paid time and
one-half after eight hours before fed
eral control.
The ruling was made pending set
tlemen: of numerous disputes before
the board, and if it is decided later
justified, the roads will be directed
to pay back time to employees the
amount to be deducted after July l.
Today's decision also provided for
the continuation "of the rules estab-
lished by or under the authority of
the United States railroad administra-
tion until such rules are decided upon
by the board, with the further excep-
'tion Of rules agreed on at individual
conferences which are to- become eff
fective July ~
By it's order of April IA, which, in
effect abrogated the national agree
ments the railways were given until
July to draw up separate agree
ments on each road. In case of dis
agreement over rules, the dispute was
ordered remanded to the board for
settlement. The food of disagree
ments which has poured into the
board and the delay hearing them
brought up the prospect that many
roads would be without working
agreements after July l. The old
rules therefore were continued tenn
porarily.

WILL 1T PAY TO POISON
THE BOIL WEEVIL

IhlS is QueStlOn that Is uppefmOSt
now in many minds. In order to help
each farmer to answer that question,
l will give some of the findings of the
Delta laboratory, Tallula, La. These
findings and rules are the results of
several years work poisoning the wee
vii in Louisiana. The laboratory says
in part:
1t will pay to poison the Weevil-
If they are really injuring your
crop seriously and if your land is
sufficiently fertile to yield one half
bale per acre without weevil, and if
you are sure the applications are
made at the right time and in the
right manner, and if you are willing
to supply adequate dusting machin-
cry and poison.
The average gains from poisoning
when it is properly done seems to be
from 200 to 400 pounds of seed cot
ton per acre, but it is not safe to ex-
pect more than 200 pounds gain per
acre.
If improperly done, nothing gained.
But, says the same report, "You
should not poison if the cost Of the
calcium arsenate, the cost of the la
Dor to apply it, and the depreciation
on the busting machines will total
more per acre than the current value
of 100 pounds of seed cotton
Hand guns about 100 per cent in a
season.
Do not allot more than 8 acres to
hand gun.
The one-mule machine depreciates
about rs per cent during season and
will cover about 60 acres.
How to poison:
Use only pure calcium arsenate in
the form of dry powder.
Use only, busting machinery espec-
tally constructed for cotton dusting.
Poison only at night and when the
air is calm.
Use to 7 pounds of calcium ar
senate at each application.
Make or applications four days
apart each.
If you have a heavy rain within
"a hours after any application, re-
peat that application at once.
Mr.. Farmer, | hope you will read
the above carefully and figure the
cost very carefully before you spend
your perfectly good money for dust
ing machines and poison.
In the meantime do all you can to
fight the weevil by frequent shallow
cultivation, picking up the early
squares that fall and by plowing your
cotton later this summer than usual.
If you can keep the weevil under
control till you get July crop set
you may come out fairly well.

County Agent.
