CHANGE SWEATER RULE
AT COUNCIL MEETING

At meeting of the athletic coun-
ell on Tuesday night it was voted to
change the ruling that only one
Gray w sweater would be given to
Cougar athlete. The new ruling will
make it possible for one man to win
two regular sweaters and the third
year that he wins his letter in any
sport he will be granted a service
sweater. This ruling will not take
effect until next year.
This change of the rules is one
that has been needed for some time
as the idea of giving the Gray w
sweaters is to furnish the men with
sweater for the training seasons
that are yet to come. AS a result the
sweaters become stretched out of
shape and soiled and the Cougars
have none to wear on street occa-
sions. The new ruling will relieve
this situation. Two regular sweat
ers and the service sweater are the
limit for any one man.

TESTING SPRAY MATERIALS

Clemson College, February 12.--
In order to meet the demand for
more information in regard to the
control of diseases and insect pests
Il comparative test Of spraying ma
terials has been taken up by the
horticultural division of the South
Carolina Experiment Station 1t is
especially desirable to find materials
for spraying which shall be simpler
TO prepare and more convenient to
use. A number of prepared sprays
in the powder or liquid form arc in
use for comparison with the stand
ard liquid sprays. This work has
received the hearty cooperation Of
the manufacturers of supplies of this
class, who have appeared most anx-
ious to have their products tested
in this way. The principal expert
mcnt has been carried on with
peaches, though the other fruits
have received a share Of attention
Several brands Of prepared Bor-
dcaux mixture are in use for spray
ing grapes for black rot in compari-
sion with the standard Bordeaux
and Burgundy mixtures.
The Burgundy mixture is pre-
pared by dissolving one pound of
copper sulphate (bluc stonc) in two
gallons Of water and two pounds Of
sal-soda in an equal amount of wa
ter. The two solutions are poured
at the same time into part of a
barrel Of water and more water is
added to make so gallons. This may
be used on grapes when nearly ripe
as the mixture does not stain the
fruit like the Bordeaux, and it is
said to have the further advantage
of sticking well to the smooth sur
face of the fruit. This solution was
used for spraying ptums for brown
rot with entire success. No dcfolia-

GOVERNMENT WILL ESTABLISH
TOBACCO STANDARDS

In order to assist in placing the mar
keting of tobacco upon more bust
ness-like basis, the United States De-
partmcnt of Agriculture is about to
begin Investigations which will lead
to the establishing Of tobacco grades
applicable throughout the entire in
dustry tobacco ranks fourth among
the crops of the United States, re-
turns more than 81 900, 100000 year
in agricultural wealth to the Nation,
and more than $300,000,0OO in annual
revenue to the Government, it is mar
keted in a manner which producers of
less important crops would regard as
short cut to financial ruin.
Sold Privately by Some
For this condition. the specialists of
the Bureau of Markets, Department
of Agriculture, blame primarily the
auction system of sales in certain sec
tions and the private contract system
in other localities. Under the form
er method loose piles Of tobacco to be
sold are placed on the floor of a ware
house and examined by the prospective
buyers. The tobacco is not graded,
nor does the owner have much oppor-
tunity to describe the merits Of his
product. The auctioneer then offers
the tobacco for sale and the buyers
are practically in a position to obtain
the tobacco for any price they choose
to pay. In the latter case the tobacco
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1921-02-16

is sold privately by growers, who u.s.
ually have an indefinite idea of mar
ket prices, to buyers who are fully in
formed. The sales frequently are
made on the farm and confirmed by
contracts that are more binding on the
seller than on the buyer. The sale
often is made before the tobacco is
harvested. At the time Of the transac-
tion the tobacco may be SO far from
being in a marketable condition that
even the buyer is unable to determine
its value, in which case the farmer
usually gets what the buyer estimates
to be a safe price or chooses to offer.
In a bulletin published by the Mas
sachusctts Experiment Station it is
stated that "under the contract method
Of sale the farmer has al Ito lose, with
no corresponding gain; the buyer, lit
tie or nothing.' The same statement
would apply equally as well to the
"auction system" department special
lists say.
No Basis for Valuation
Because of lack Of grades, the to-
bacco producer is unable to determine
if he is receiving reasonable price
for his product. There is 70 basis for
comparison between the prices paid
paid in one community and those
paid elsewhere. Quotations of one
market usually mean little in other
markets, for they are not based upon
recognized standards of quality
In October the Buru;,u of Markets,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, held hearings in number of
cities for the purpose Of discussing
with tobacco growers, merchants,
dealers, bankers, warehouscmen, and
| others interested in the industry ten
tative regulations for warchousing
tobacco under the provisions of the
United States Warehouse Act. These
hearings were attended by members
of the trade who were representative
| of the tobacco industry generally and
considerable interest was shown in the
bureaus work. At first there was an
attitud of skepticism regarding the
benefits to be derived from the ware
housing of tobacco under the provis-
ions of the warehouse act. Doubt was
expressed that the bureau would be
able to devise satisfactory tobacco
standards, but in every instance be-
fore the end of the hearing the bu-
reau's intention to take immediate ac-
tion in carrying out its plans to place
the marketing of tobacco upon a sound
basis was approved.
Provides for Financing
| Under the provisions of the United
States Warehouse Act, the Secretary
Of Agriculture is authorized to license
warehouses for the storage of cotton,
grain, haXseed, wool, and tobacco. The
chief purpose Of the act, with respect
to tobacco, is to establishe system
of warehouses in which tobacco may
be safely stored and through which
the industry can more easily be fnan-
ced and tobacco more advantagcously
marketed. To accomplish this pur-
pose, the act is designed to provide a
form Of warehouse receipt which will

Since the passage of the act, moro

EASTERN GROWERS
MORE AGGRESSIVE

Midwest and eastern orchardists are
| planning to follow the Pacific coast
practices in growing and marketing
their fruits in an attempt to recapture
| their own home markets now largely
held by the far-west' trade They are
! telling themselves that if they prune
to get better size and color in their
fruit, spray to keep down insects and
diseases, pick the fruit tenderly to
keep 1t free of bruises. srd then put it
up in attractive box packs which are
held in cold storage with enough
moisture to prevent shriveiBg, they
can oust the western product because
of the advantage they have in trans
portation charges.
This does not mean that the coast
growers are bound to lose the mar.
kets. thinks W. S. Brown, chief of
horticulture at o. A. C.. Experiment
station. Superior climatic conditions
make for certainty of crop much
above that of the eastern conditions.
and also lend high color and fine
quality that are truly distinctive. The
industry is a business in itself here,
while in the more eastern districts it
is only side-line that will not get the
study and attention it receives here.
Western men have a big advantage
in the cost of containers, Professor
Brown points out. Nearness to box
lumber mills enables the western
grower to buy good boxes at IL to l6
cents, whereas the eastern growers
paid as high as S150 per barrel of
three bushels capacity last year.
With a further reduction in freight
rates by rail to eastern points, and
increasing shipments through the canal
to European markets the Pacific coast
growers may expect to find outlets for |
their surplus high grade fruits. No
other kind should be sent.

TRAGEDY COMES TO
OVERSEAS VETERAN

The body of Medric M. Greer, 26-
year old veteran Of the great war, who
died here last Friday, might, was taken
to Portland Sunday forlfuneral services
and cremation. Young Mr.. Greer, who
wassshell shocked and gassed in the
battle of Argonne Forest. died from
conclusion of the brain, sustained
when in a frenzy he butted his head
repeatedly into the walls of the city
Jail.
Mr.. Greer was prominent at the Ore
gon Agricultural College, where he
graduated in 1918. On the day of his
death, a letterswas received at Dundee
from the College announcing that he
had been appOinted.tO the faculty of a
school in New Mexico.
The following Portland folk were
here to accompany the body from 1.-The
Bartmess chapel to Portland: Misses
Frances. Florence, julie and. Margaret
and Clare ScallOn and Reginald Harri-
son.
The young veteran, suffering from a
mental break down, assailed a man at
the O.-W. r. & n station Thursday
evening. 1t was seen that he was suf-
fering from serious mental disturbance
and officers carried him to the city
hall, and a physician called. 1t was
thought after he was Quieted that he
would be able to proceed to Dundee,
Ore, where his grandparents, Rev.
and Mrs. Geo. H. Greer, reside, and
officers so suggested. The grandfather
is a retired Unitarian minister. Mr..
Greer, however, asked that he be held
under surveillance, declaring that he
feared the consequences of freedom. !
He soon grew violent. and was raw
ing mad man at intervals for two days. !
The grandfather arrived here Satur- |
day. He states that his grandson has !
been depressed since his return home
because of financial worry. He brood |
ed over inability 10 secure work. He
had come here from Dayton, Wash. TO /
participate in the apple harvest. The |
young veteran was sheh shocked in /
France and was gassed. His illness is !
thought to have caused his mental |
break down.
The case aroused general pity here |
and the broken hearted grandfather
received aid and sympathy from many
