CHAPTER vi.

A most opportune lull followed,
when Harriet Field had time to collect
her thoughts, and get true perspec-
tive upon the events Of the past week
Nina was leaving for visit to Amy
Hawkes., at the extremely dull and en-
tirely safe Hawkes. mansion, where
four unmarried daughters constituted
a chaperonage beyond all criticism.
Isabelle Carter was giving and attend
ing the usual luncheons and dinners,
her husband absorbed in an especially
important business deal that kept him
alternate nights in the city. The house
was quiet, the domestic machinery
running smoothly, the weather hot,
sulpnurous and enervatirg.
She dined as usual alone, that eve
ming, and was surprised, at about eight
o'clock, to receive the demure notifica-
ton from Rosa that Mrs. Carter would
like to see her. With hardly an in
stant's delay she went downstairs.
On the terrace. outside the drawing
room windows they were at card ia
BILE: Richard, looking tired and hot in
rumpled white, Isabelle exquisite In
silver lace, and young Anthony Pope.
Near by, Madame Carter majeStically
fingered some Illustrated magazines.
1t appeared that they wanted bridge;
it was too hot to eat, too hot to dance
at the club, too hot-said Isabelle
pathetically-to live!
Obligingly, Harriet took her place,
cut for the deal. But her eyes had not
fallen upon the group before she
sensed that something was wrong, and
she had a moments f1utter of the heart
for fear some one suspected her, that
she was under surveillance. Had
Royal-had Ward
She turned a card, took the deal,
found Anthony Pope her partner, and
entered into the game with spirit.
Richards first words to her were reas-
suring; if there was constraint here,
she was not involved In it.
mo trump-says little Miss Field.
Well, that doesn't seem to frighten me.
Two spades"
II think we might try three dia-
monds, Miss Field" Anothony said,
gravely and pleasantly, and Harriet
felt herself acquitted of any apprehen-
sion in that direction as well. 1t only
remained for Isabelle to show friend
illness.
"Du hast diamonten and perlen,
you two. l can see that! You're
down, Harrietr' Mrs. Carter said,
thoughtfully. Harriet began thorough
ly to enjoy herself If they were all
furious, at least it was not with her.
She speculated, as she gathered in
her tricks. Was 1t conceivable that
Richard did not enjoy the discovery
of the tete-a-tete dinner? But Isabelle
had often been equally indiScreet, and
he had never seemed to resent 1t be-
fore. Harriet knew that Isabelle was
Ill at ease; she suspected that Tony
was furious. The old lady was OBJ
viously quivering with batfied inter-
est and curiosity.
After three rubbers the game ended
suddenly; Richard said he had some
letters to write, and was keeping Fox
waiting in the library; Anthony scrib-
bled a check, said brief and unfriend-
ly good-nights; Isabelle merely raised
passionate dark eyes to his. She was
languidly gathering in her spoils
when the lights of his car flashed yel-
low on the drive and he was gone.
Immediately afterward Richard
Carter said goodnight to his mother
and wife and went in TO his study.

OSTRICH EGGS AS FOOD

Mr.. Gallican, diet expert, who has
been experimenting with ostrich eggs
supplied by the New York geological
gardens, declares that the food value
of the ostrich egg Is about the same as
that of the domestic hens egg. The
favor is identical and, although the
ostrich eggs contain less protein than
meat, they have more fat and a fair
amount of. phosphorus and iron. One
egg will make an omelet sufficient for
30 persons.-The ArgOnaut.

Lime Fosters Potato Scab.

Do not use lime upon land that is
to be planted to potatoes, as it may
foster scab. Lime is good for almost
all other crops, and upon, a great va
riety of soils. Stable manure may be
plOwed under for potatoes, but most
growers prefer to use fertilizer. Po-
tatoes will do best on a deep, well
titled soil.

man at a recent meeting of. Green
wood County Citizens, when strong
resolutions were adopted in support
of both home and farm demonstration
agents following a suggestion that
appropriations for these agents be
cut out as "a mea of reducing taxes.
Another citizen, writing in the
Greenwood Index-Journal, put the
matter aptly in the following words:
There is no denying that there is
now apparent a spirit of greater will
ingness to be helped by cooperating
with the plans of these agents than
has been heretofore. Our self-sufh-
cheney has departed and we are now
willing to get help if it is to be had.
They are not the solution of the
whole problem, but if they bring us
to the place where we will cooperate
for the common good, that is some
thing.

The Farm "Bloco in Congress.

Almost from the inception of this
government the big business inter-
ests, and more particularly the big
money interests, have been represent
ed in Congress by a set of mel who
have never failed to vote for legis-
lation which would be favorable to
those interests, or to oppose legisla-
ton framed to curtail their privileg-
es. These men know the powers be-
hind their election. In plain farmer
language, they know on which side
their bread is buttered and where the
butter comes from. They nave always
instinctively voted Fright" These
same interests, or a part of them, are
now expressing grave fears that the
friends of the farmers who now sit
in the halls of Congress have organ
lied a "bloc" and r seeking class
legislation. A Republican congress
man named Ansorge, of New York,
is agitated so much that he has pro-
posed a bill to make it unlawful to
form "blocs," or in other words, for
Congressman representing certain in
terests, to stick together when it
comes to voting. Such a law, OF
course, would prove a barrier to &C
ton by the Wall Street "bloc," but
Mr.. Ansorge probably did not think
of that phase of it or else he intend
ed that his bill should apply only to
those members of Congress, who are
far seeing enough to know that prose
perity can not come even to Wall
Street until it first reaches the pro-
ducers.
Congressman who have been instru-
mental in passing legislation favor
able to the producers are not alone
representing the farmers. They are
representing the people. If it has
been necessary for them to form a
"block," or get together to block 9th
er pending. legislation until they can
receive a hearing on measures which
to them appear to be of greater i'm
%portance, they have done no more
than follow the methods of those who
have for years performed the same
service for Wall Street. 1t is time that
so-called "Big Business" made way
for the larger business, that of Agri-
culture and Livestock. At any rate

Weevil Poisoning in 1922.

w ceVll OlSCNaF.y In A1HA'
Clemson College, Jan. 23.-Poison,
ing cotton with calcium arsenate may
be expected to pay:
l.. When used on high yielding
land.
2. When weevil infestation is
heavy.
8. When the poison is properly
applied according to a correct sche-
dqle.
q. When weather conditions are
reasonably favorable for poisoning.
Farmers planning to poison this
season should secure a copy of Cir
cular 1852, U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture, Poisoning the Cotton Boil
Weevil," which may be obtained
from the Extension Service, Glenn
son College; the Delta Laboratory,
Tallulah, La, or the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.
c., advises Prof. A. F. Conrad, en-
tomologist. This circular contains less
than three pages of print, but the in
formation is to the point, and no far
mer should undertake poisoning be-
fore studying it and making sure that
he understands thoroughly every step
in the operation. Farmers are eau
toned that poisoning is a serious and
complicated operation, and that no
one should undertake it unless he has
determined to do it correctly. Many
failures result from improper appli-
cation, due to the lack of effort on
the part of the farmer to inform him
self.
No one should be disappointed at
failure the first year because poison
ing must be learned just as we have
had to learn other processes in farm
ing. Those having M experience
arc cautioned to go easy and not I'M
dertake too much the first season.
Poisoning, like most farm operations,
is not fool-proof. While it has been
demonstrated that the weevil can be
poisoned proitably with proper meth
DDS and machines and under favor
able weather conditions for poison
ing, the farmer is also cautioned that
u%nfavorable conditions and improper
methods will undoubtedly cause COM
plete failure.
Regardless of how much poisoning
the farmer intends to do, soil build
ing should be kept up vigorously. Any
successful poisoning program is de-
pendent on high yielding land. There
is no evidence that poisoning will
pay on poor land. 1t is no more ex-
pensive to poison an acre of high
yielding land than to poison an acre
of paar land.
ANY one intending to poison
should begin right now and get in
formation ard study it hard and Sc
riously, and. should tax cup the mat
ter with the county agent so as to.
enable the Extension Service to keep
in touc hand assist in every way pos
sible.

The Muscle Shoals Plant.

1t is obvious that the United States
government itself is not going to
complete the Muscle Shoals project.
After spending many millions of dol
lars, this gigantic piece of engineer
ing seemed at one time destined to
lay idle and but for the concrete and
steel and the vast excavations, would
in a short time lapse back into the
virgin scenery that was there before
the hand of man began to mould it
into a power project so vast in its
possibilities as to almost beggar de-
scription.
There is, however, n man in
America with enough money and
with enough daring to risk many
more millions in the completion of
the project and since the government
is not going to do anything with it,
then let Henry Ford have it. Of
course, if there is any other concern
or individual in America who can
match his price to the government
and promise as great a development,
after it is bought from the govern
ment, then the government should de-
eide which offer should be accepted.
Of course, if there is a better offer
than Ford's the government should
accept it without question.
The great point is to have this gil
|gantic power development completed
in the interest of Southern industry.
There is enough power to be devel-
oped at Muscle Shoals to run an in
dustrial center with hundreds of
thousands of people. The man with
the brains and the money can take
over this project and make it hum
and we of the South do not want to
see what has already been done fall
into disuse and revert to its former
state. 1t would be an economic crime
for the government of the United
States to throw away the $30,O00,-
900 to SAC, 900 900 that has already
been expended and the. possibilities
of this development, when carried
to that degree that engineering skill
ed backed up by unlimited capital,
can carry it, are stupendous.
The government of the United
States wasted vast sums of money
during the world war, such as nearly
one billion dollars on airplanes with
out receiving any of the finished
product; millions on army camps,
which were abandoned only to con-
struct new camps when those already
constructed would have served as
we'll or better, so do not compound
the folly by not developing Muscle
Shoals and refuse to allow anyone
else to develop it. The good sense of
the members of congress, the presi-
dent and the cabinet should prevent

The Cotton Crop Of 1922.

Inc lotion crop OF 1SAH.
There has been a decline in cotton
recently and attributed to the belief
that cotton acreage would be increas
ed in 1922. In the warm sandy loan
sections of the country this might De
possible for some farmers have beer
very discouraged in the growing Of
other crops. The fact is that the
growing of cotton has become such g
fixed habit with us that it is difficult
to shake it off. The proftableness OF
growing cotton depends entirely upon
whether agriculture is willing to obey
the plain rules of weevil con.rol. Al
presen agriculture is engaged not SC
much in the killing of weeyils as in
the propagation of weevils for the
universally unturned cotton fields in
our winters are all that weevil could
ask in the matter of care, protection
and pe~rpetuation of ace.
Red Lands.
st do not see though, however, how
that the red lands of the South can
increase cotton acreage. Their ex-
perience last year would indicate that
the red lands will have to get away
from cotton. We thought at one time
that the Piedmont. section, on account
of it's GOODNESS, would be largely free
from weevils whereas this section
seems to suffer more than any other
section with weevil ravages. Whatever
increase in cotton acreage may occur
in the sandy lands may, therefore, be
Offset by a possible decrease in the
red billy sections of the South. I find
every day that the people who are
willing to obey the rules for weevil
control are growing fair amounts of
cotton of course, on the proper kind
of soil. Here, for example, is Mr..
Bouknight.
Mr.. j. H. Bouknight.
j. H. Bouknight of Bouknight, S.
c., near Johnston, has been quite sue
cessful For two years in the produc-
ton of cotton per acre. During the
season of 1920 he produced 1872 bales
on 1875 acres, chiefly early big boil
Cleveland cotton. This comes very
near being a bale to the acre. He paid
especial attention to the killing of
the winter weevil by blowing under
his cotton as early as possible and de-
stroying ALI surrounding stubble and
hedge rows.
If all of his cotton had been Cleve-
land he says that he would have
made over one bale to the acre. He
used considerable Calcium Arsenate
in that year. Now in the season of
1921 he used exclusively Cleveland
cotton and he made ITO bales on 1876
acres. He employed all the methods
for killing the winter weevil in the
buds. He used a horse with Calcium
Arsenate on the early weevil in the
buds. He used a horse power buster
on his later crop, busting from one
to three times on various portions of
the crop as needed. He picked up
squares once every week. He plowed
just as often as the rains allowed him
to do so. He planted exceedingly
early, late March and April the 9Th.
Most of his soil is a fine texture of
sand underlaid with clay, thus afford
ing a warm soil.
