FORTY YEARS WITHOUT .s
ANY IMPROVEMENT

Columbia, Aug. 14.-"If forty
years of marketing under the old sys-
tenn have left this section impover-
ished, except for abnormal prices
paid during the war, then is it not
at least time to begin to look for
some other system Of marketing
asks W. W. Brady, state bank ex-
aminer, in statement issued today,
strongly endorsing the cooperative
marketing Of cotton and tobacco and
urging the banks o. the state to back
the two associations.
Mr.. Bradley declares that the sue
cess Of the associations rests more
largely with the banks than with
any other force in the state. The plan
will succeed, he declared, just in so
far as the banks will it to succeed.
There is -otIing in the problem
that is inimica! to their interests and
there is every probability of material
prosperity to the banks, as wen as to
the communities they serve, in pro-
noting this marketing" plan," declares
Mr.. Bradley in enumerating some of
the reasons why the banks should
support the associate
"In the past farm products have
been sold to thoroughly organized
compacts by thoroughly disintegrate
producers. The man who produces
has had no word in the conduct Of
produce exchanges. The law of sup
ply and demand has been imperative
except in the case of extremely large
or extremely small crops and then il
has been used mainly to the advan-
tage of the speculator.
"Cooperative Marketing, it is be-
lieved, will remedy, if not cure this
evil by enabling the producer to ge

MANY WILL SELL OLD COTTON
THROUGH NEW ASSOCIATION

Columbia, Aug. 16 6.-Many men,
bers of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers Association have signified
their intention of selling their old cot
ton through the association, and are
ready to receive it, officials of the as
sociation announced. Delivery of
cotton grown prior to 1922 is optional
with the members, but scores of them
have written that they wish the asso-
citation to handle it for them.
Full instructions to the members Of
the association regarding the deliv-
cry ftheir cotton will go forward
very shortly, it is announced. Every
member will be told where to deliver
his cotton, receive his allowance. etc.
These instructions will be sent out by
the field service department.
The headquarters of the association
present busy scene these days,
large force being at work day and
night completing the preparations for
handling the cotton of the associa-
tons members. The association is
now established in it's new quarters,
1925 Main street which has been
designated as Cotton Cooperative
Building" The office force is rapid
ly being organized.
Officials of the association said that
every mail not only brought assur-
ances OF the strongest support and
loyalty from members, but brought in
many new contracts. Complete salts
faction with the progress of the new
membership campaign is expressed
and officials believe that the associa-
ton will begin it's year with the larg-
est sign-up of any coopera tive in the
belt. The association is already as
sured Of more money than it will
need Tor financing the crop, it was
said by officials. Money in abundance
and at good terms has been offered it
hy the South Carolina banks, the
War Finance corporation and by
banking institutions in other sections
or the country. The financial prob
lem was one of the easiest to solve, it
was said.
None of the statewide cotton COON
eratlve associations have experienced
any difficulty in arranging for money
this fall. The War Finance corpora
tion has approved advances aggregat-
rs s sa aeesad aH~si.
them have been flooded with offers
of II money from other sources. Officials
Of the association point to this as.
proof of the fact that in financial
circles the coopera tive marketing idea
IS looked upon with the greatest favor
as being fundamentally sound.

WEEVIL MIGRATION
BEGINNING NOW

Clemson College, Aug. 14.-FaH
migration of the weevil has begun in
some sections where the cotton crop
is not very good and where fruit for
nation has practically discontinued.
Otherwise, the situation during the
past week showed no important
change, square infestation continuing
to vary in different localities from
very low to 95 per cent or more. ac-
cording to reports received today by
Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist,
who therefore advises continuation of
cultivation where possible and of
thorough square collecting from the
plants and the ground.
Whether poison application should
be made after migration depends on
conditions. Migration is not yet
heavy enough at any point to warrant
discrimination Of poisoning. When
migration becomes severe and gen.
eral, no profit may be expected from
poisoning.
During the past week there have
been breezy and dewless nights es-,
pecially in the. Piedmont section.
Poisoning on such nights is not
recommended, but. the application
should be made during the first fav-
orable nights though it be week or
so late according to the schedule.
Old Methods and Customs No Longer
Dependable. r..
Farmers are urged to use good
judgment and not to become panicky.
When the weevils become numerous 80
that all squares are Dunctured and
young bolls are attacked, one or even
two applications of poison may be
recommended in order to protect as
many Of the young bolls as possible
The attitude of the farmers is not.
always encouraging. Some have kept
up cultivation and square collecting
diligently while others laid by,
about August L. It must be empha-
sized that these old methods and Gus
toms will not be satisfactory under
weevil conditions, and those who have
not yet become reconciled to more,
diligent methods Of farm manage
ment throughout the entire growing
season will become SO convinced If
they continue their efforts to grow
cotton : ssea-, q ..,;ss
e Again@this season there are many
striking Illustrations of the great i'm s.
portance Of soil building as the fun

troll. The success AND profit that
may result from s geiso soning square

WORK TO BE ACCOMPLISHED
DURING THE MONTH
By c. s. Addy, Instructor of Vocation
al Agriculture, Lexington High


School.
In order to obtain a satisfactory
growth Of alfalfa, it should be sown
during the month of August and early
September. There is no doubt but
that every farmer knows the value of
alfalfa as feed. The problem now
is to- interest everybody to grow al
falfa. The one essential thing in the
growing of alfalfa is the sufficient
lining to neutralize all acids in the
land, in other words sour soil should
be sweetened before attempting to
grow alfalfa. 1t is possible to detect
an acid soil by the plants growing
upon it. Sorrel and horsetail are Of
ten found on acid soils. Another way
to determine the acidity Of the soil is
the use of blue litmus paper, which
may be obtained at any drlg store.
The essential facts lin growing al
falfa are deep compact and we'll
prepared seed bed on we'll drained
land, which is rich in f1um14 ct. in
oc.lated either with sol. from an old
alfalfa field or pure cultures.
Let me urge the people not to neg
lect preparing a small patch or an
acre or more for alfalfa this fall. If
I can be Of any assistance to you in
the preparation and planting Of this
valuable crop, I shall be glad to help
you.
Sow. Grasses and Clover for Pernia-
~, nent Pastures. r.
Like alfalfa, grass and clover can
be most successfully sown in August
and September. Care should be
given to the preparation Of the land
for this seeding. In order to secure
good results in preparing for a per-
manent pasture, weeds should not be
allowed in the field. The land should
be seeded heavily. This will aid in
the prevention Of weeds. Sow q. least
tive bushels of nix ID grass seed and
twelve or fifteen pounds &, clover;
seed per acre. The 'En:e varieties Of

MOUNT KATMAI
 IS SBENEFACT0R TO HUMANITY

WASHINGTON, (By Mail) - It might be surprise to many to be told that the fire-spitting, lava-spout- ing, earth-rocking volcano is one Of mankind's best friends rather than his arch enemy, but such is the surprising declaration which was ex- plained to the conference of geo. graphy of the National Educational Association in Boston last month.
 The most tremendous volcanic eruption of history, that of Mount Katmai in Alaska, in 1912, was described by Dr. Robert F. Griggs, leader of several parties sent to the scene of the cataclasm by the Ma tional Geographic society, and who discovered the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Katmai's neigh bor wonder of nature.
 Mankind's debt to the volcano has been more fully recognized by results ,of recent researches, says bulletin 16f the society describing the upheav- al. Without volcanoes, it is now be- lieved, there would be no ocean, and to volcanoes we are indebted for carbon dioxide, without which human life could not exist.
 The explosion of Katmai, the con- ference was told, was unnoticed be- cause it was so far from the centers of civilization. Had the eruption oc- cured near New York City, the bull letin declares, the sulphurous fumes would have polluted the air every where east of the Rocky mountains; the noise would have reverberated like an artillery duel across the central western states. The lower Hudson itself would have been turn ed into a gigantic tomb.
 However, due to the lack of popu- lation in that far region, there was no loss of life, and the eruption pro- vides scientists and geographers now one of their greatest opportunities to study the phenomenon of vol canic action.
 Though generally unaware of the eruption until long after, every in- habitant of the country, and almost of the world, felt it's effects, one of (Which was the cold, damp summer of 1912. This was caused by the inter- ception of sunlight by the long-hang-

ing dust cloud in the upper air. Even it was declared the sky was over cast
 An area around Katmai larger than the state or Delaware, was covered that summer by more than a foot of volcanic ash which was enough to destroy all but the hardest of veg citation. When the explosion occurred two cubic miles were blown off the top of the mountain, and the present whereabouts of the mountain top is still mystry to scientists.
 The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, from which arises virtually millions of steam jets in a scene of unsurpassed awe and beauty, is be- lieved to have been an aftermath of the cataclysm.
 President Wilson turned aside from the stress of war to make this re- zion national monument second to none in the world. While the coun- try is so remote that the few white men who have viewed it's wonders have been members of the society's expeditions, the educators were told it is easily accessible from the shel- tered bay christened in honor of the society, and a fifty mile roadway will some day place it within the campass of the automobile tourist.
