Tho Fruit Tree Liar.

Prof A. Il. Conradi, cntomologist
for .he South Carolina State Crop
Pest Commission, charged with the
enforcement Of regulations regard
ing nursery stock, Is out cunning for
the INSCRIPTIONS fruit tree agent,
and Is appealing to the buying pub
Tic for aid in suppressing this dan
gerous nuisance. Below is Prof. Con-
radi's warming appeal:
"Romember that it Is unlawful for
fruit tree agent to operate in this
State without an agents license. 70
obtain this license does not require
cash, but 1t does require the agent
to furnish satisfactory evidence to
tho South Carolina State Crop Pest
Commission, Clemson College, S. c.,
that he is a responsible man and
will comply with tho law. If he has
delivering point in this State, his
shipments must be accompanied by
an agents tag furnished at cost
Remember that some Of these
agents have wonderful stories to tell
about their stock. Are you gullDlc
enough to believe them? We 'arc
trailing some Of them now and we
will prosecute without hesitation
We will cooperate with every hon-
est tree agent who sells what he rep
resenis and Will help him in every
way possible; but let us all band to-
gethcr and show the unscrupulous
tree liar that South Carolina has no
use for him. lie has done enough
damage. The Legislature has made
laws with teeth in them to get such
cheats, and we ask the cooperation
Of every one in tracking these fcl-
lows 10 their lairs."

Rules for Successful Hog Raising.

/. Good brood sows should always
havo a balanced ration, sufficient en-
ercise, and a good bed.
2. Farrowing rails, no matter Of
what material they are made, will be
worth their cost.
3. Many Of tho pigs arc farrowed
between midnight and dawn, and it
pays to be there.
i. a good, dry bed, changed often,
makes up for Il lot of other imper-
fections. Plan to have supply Of
dry bedding handy at all times.
5. Contrary to popular belief, hogs
cannot thrive in filth. Avoid manure
piles, dusty stalls and stagnant
pools. Probably more trouble with
pigs starts with sucking a SOW that
has been lying in stagnant mud
hole than any other cause, unless it
be dusty pens.
6. Plenty Of clean water should
be handy at all times, for the pig
drinks often if he has the chance.
{. Plan to have clover, alfalfa,
rape, rye or soy beans at all times on
tie farm, and cheaper the cost Of
production.

Growing Mature Onions from Seed.
There is evidence Of a considera-
bic tendency on the part Of farmers
in some sections to grow onions for
market. The horticultural division
has prepared a brief circular on the
growing Of onions from seed, in or
der that those interested may have
definite information on this subject.
The following suggestions on varie-
ties, planting and cultivation are
given as Of timely interest to pros
pective onion growers.
Planting.-Best results will usu-
ally be obtained by planting the seed
during October. However, they can
l.. grown very successfully, if plant
cd in very fertile, well-prcpared soil.
Ill late February or early March, and
Will produce marketable onions by
The middle Of June. Onion seeds that
are planted in the fall will produce
larger onions and will mature a lit
i!c car!icr than the spring-plantcI
crop. When planted in the fall the
liShcd before very cold weather in
order that they may not be injured
by the severe cold of December and
January. If the tops arc injured by
the cold it Will not seriously injurc
the bulbs, as growth will begin again
as soon as the weather IS favo.'n-
bic.
Onion rows arc laid off from 2 to
l. inches apart and the seed planted
in the drill. The seed should be COW
cred not more than " to * of an
inch deep. In spring. when the on
ions are large enough to handle, they
should be thinncd out to from 3 to
inches apart in the row. These
Trimmings may be used to nll in any
vacancies that may have occurred, in
the row. Those transplantcd should
have 2-3 Of the tops cut Off.
Nnrictics.- The best varieties OF
onions 10 grow from seed for COM
mcrcial purposes are PriHctakcr,Y1
low Globe Danvcrs and southport
Globe. These are onions OF large
size, attractive appearance and very
mild ilaVor. Bermuda onions, OF
which the Crystal Wax variety is
probably the most satisfactory, will
do only fairly we'll in the Piedmont
region, as thore Is moro danger OF
their being injured by cold, but they

Cotton Crop About tho Same.

Washington, Sept. 2S. - There
was very little change in the condi-
ton Of cotton last week, although
there was steady decline in the
northeast portion Of the belt because
Of persistent drought and wccyil
damage. Little or no rain foil, sun
shine was abundant and tempcra-
lures moderate, being exceptionally
favorable for picking and ginning
which made unusually rapid prog
rcss generally.
Cotton picking is about three
fourths completed in Southern Tex
as, nearly half done in the northern
part Of the State. and much further
advanced than usual in oklahoma.
Bolls have nearly all opened in Ar
kansas and Louisiana, and tho har-
vest is we'll advanced in the East
Gulf States, with bolIs nearly all
open to tho northern limits OF Geor-
gia, and mostly open in southern
North Carolina.

THE GREEK KING ABDICATEs
His Throne-zAngry Mob Surrounded
Palace, Demanding Abdication.

Athens, Greece, Sept. 2S.--King
Constantine's abdication came after
dramatic scenes, with the palace sur
rounded by an angry mob Of revolu-
,tionists demanding his dethrone-
ment.
1t was not until the mob threat
ened to seize the person OF the SOW
ereign that an emissary appeared at
window Of the palace and an
nounced the abdication. Gen. Papou-
las had previously been sent to treat
with the revolutionists, but finding
his entreaties unavailing, he Joined
their cause himself. The government
sent a second envoy, but the mob
was obdurate, declaring:
eve are resolved to dethrone the
author Of Greece's misery"
Constantine addressed the follow
ing message to the Greek people:
yielding to the solemnly express
ed will Of the Greek people 4 re-
turned to Greece in December, 1920,
and reassumed my royal. duties. l
declared then and took a solemn
oath that l would respectfully OBJ
serve the articles Of the constitu-
ton.
This declaration corresponds
with my private desire and that Of
the Greek people as we'll MS the inter-
national interests Of our country.
Within the limits of The constitution
l did everything humanity possible
for the defense CT the interests Of
the nation.
To-day regretable misfortunes
have led our country into a critical
situation. But Greece, as in so many
other Instances in the course Of her
centuries-long history, will again
overcome her difficulties and will
continue on her glorious and bril-
liant path provided she faces the
danger with q united front and is
assisted by her powerful friends.
Not wishing to leave in the mind
or anybody the slightest suspicion
that by remaining on the throne
have prevented, to however Slight
degree, the sacred unity of the Creek
people and the assistance OF some
friends, ] have. abdicated the royal
lower.
From this moment my eldest son,
Prince George, IS your king. am
sure the entire nation will rally
around him. will assist him with all
It's forces and at the cost OF all sac
rifccs, in his difficult work.
81 shall be still happy whep see
my people, whom l huvo so much
loved, surround their new king with
perfect concord and lead the father
land to fresh glory and fresh great
ness.
"My sacrifice is slight. ! am pre-
pared to fight at the head Of the ar
my in the interest of the country if
the Greek government and people
should consider such service useful
to the fatherland. Constantine"
