the problem that even experts have

a new and nevcr-failing method has
now been discovered with which any

and very economically. with the
Certo Process full-ripe grapes are
used-not unripe grapes so necessary
by the old method. The "Certo Proc

ripe fruit because It requires only
one M nute's boiling-not the 80 or

course destroys juice and particularly
kills the real grape taste with

superior fruity favor and two-thirds
more jelly from the same amount OF

It also banishes all guesswork or

COTTON IN ARGENTINA
New York Times

Increased interest is being taken
in the cultivation of cotton on a
larger scale in Northern Argentina.
The centre of this activity is Re-
sistencia in the Chaco Territory
where a federation of the colonists
was formed last year chiefly to give
impetus to the cotton Industry. The
organization is devoting all it's re-
sources this season to the education
of the small farmer in the proper
method of cultivation and to get uni
formity in the cotton crop. The cot
ton is planted by the colonists in
small detached plantations, and the
mixture of small lots at the ginning
mills has caused lack of uniformi-
ty in the bales of cotton. The mills
new federation, reports Trade Com
missioner George S. Brady at
Buenos Aires, has been able to
bring the colonists into a closer
union, which gives promise this year
of producing a more uniform crop
as well as increased production.
AS the great quebracho forests of
the Argentina Chaco are being
cleared for the wood and tanning,
the wonderful fertility of the soil of
that region is just beginning to be
generally known. The rich black
loan reaches to great depth, is
very friable and easily titled. There
is not stone to be found in Eastern
Chaco. The climate is rare combi-
nation, neither tropical nor temper
ate, and almost anything will grow
in the region with very little atten-
ion. On the same farm with cotton
are grown alfalfa, corn, apples
peaches, all citrus fruits, and sugar.

by the federation for the 192O-21

SOUTHERN
CATTLEMEN TO MEET
Big Livestock Body in Columbia
February 1-3

Clemson College, Jan. 22.-The
biggest gathering to be held in the
South this year of people interested
in the livestock development Of our
section will be the annual conven-
ton of the Southern Cattlemen's
Association in Columbia, S. c., Feb
ruary 1-3. This is the statement
made by w. J. Shealy, animal hus-
bandman of the Extension Service
and secretary of the South Carolina
livestock men, bankers and other
business men to the fact that the
Southern Cattlemen's Association is
a body of live wires including not
only livestock men but also many
Others interested in the develop
ment of the livestock industry.
South Carolina is fortunate to Sc
cure the 1921 meeting, says Mr..
Shealy, for there is always fight
to secure the meetings, which have
heretofore never been held this far
east. South Carolina won the 1921
meeting by virtue of a special invi-
tation from the State of South
Carolina backed by the various in
terested organizations; and it is
hoped that a meeting in the south
eastern group of states will be an
inducement to the cattlemen of the
Carolinas and Virginia to join in
much larger numbers than hereto
fore. Certainly every progressive
stock farmer and other business
man who can do so, should attend
this meeti ng.

pared insures profitable three-day

ed include such we'll known SOU

THE BIG TREE

Judge Miller was in the Press and
Banner office Friday morning and he
says the news on Wardlaw street is
that the big tree is still the bone of
contention among the neighbors. A
petition has been presented to May
or Mars this week, signed by all
save three residents of the street,
asking that the tree be removed.
Judge Miller says a fine piece of
work is being done in filling in at
Klugh's park and that Wardlaw
street will be one of the most popu-
lr thoroughfares when the street
paving is finished. The Judge con-
tended that the big tree twill not be
missed six weeks after it is cut
down.

On account al her striking career
as a short story writer there has been
much speculation as to what Fannie
Hurst's first novel would be like. 1t
has arrived. and at least one reviewer
IS disappointed There is much that IS
dramatic is "Star Dust" but the book
contains little in the way of character
work and the whole has an artificial
flavor.
Lilly Becker, imaginative, sensitive
and with ambitions 70 sing in opera,
marries. against her better Judgment,
Albert Penny-good fellow, but, oh, so
dull. Albert is far from Lilly's idea of
what a young man should be, but his
"steadiness" appeals to her parents,
and they make il plain to Lilly that
there will be Mysteries aplenty IL she
does not marry him. Being an obedient
girl. and also having in mind that II
she doesn't Fannie Hurst simply won't
have a novel. she complies.
OF course the marriage proves a
failure. Albert is a business man and
continually talks shop. In addition
anguish Lilly suffers during this morn
ing performance of her husband. "A
tight throated sort Of anguish Miss
Hurst calls it, that could have been
no leener had it been OF larger provo

curl and a quick ripple Of flesh rush
over her. Mornings, when he

mouth wash, would remain coldly
against her lips with the peculiar burn

to New York.
For several months New York is
most unkind to Lilly. First there is
