Goodbye Boil Wcevil'. The picture,
was seen by moro than thousand
people during three performances and
showed in an instructive manner the
correct way Of combating the boil
Weevil and also the productive results
to the farmer who follows the instruc-
tions of the United States government
experts.
The picture, in the form Of a story,
depicted three farmers in the same
community. One Of them was progress
sive and followed to advantage all the
advice from the government exports.
The second was one who, while he lis
tened to the advice, handed it down to
his farm hands with a corresponding
loss, and the third paid no attention at
all to the instructions On how to raise
cotton under boil weevil conditions,
making no cotton at ALL
Scenes were also shown of the Delta
Laboratories in Mississippi, where for
several years experiments have been
made on various grades Of calcium
arsenic and on different types Of ma
chinery for spreading the poison The
progressive farmer obtained pamphlets
from the Delta Laboratories which are
similar to those received in this sec
tion from Clemson College, and fol-
lowed carefully the advice it gave on
poisoning the weevil. He personally
supervised the work At the end of
the season, the yield per acre OF land
on which the poison was applied was
914 pounds OF seed cotton more than
on the land that was not poisoned. On
ly 250 pounds of that cotton went to
pay for the cost of using the poison
and the balance, 664 pounds was the
profit he realized by using the poison.
The other two farmers both had crop
failures. One because he used no
poison and the other because he al
lowed his help to do the work which
was invariably left undone.
The picture closed with the phrase,
ut pays to poison the boil weevil-
but, better do it right or not at all"

At present it would be very diff
cult for anyone to clearly define op-
tinism, or to draw any definite line
between optimism and pessimism.
The two terms are strictly opposed in
their meaning, but the spirit Of the
present day tends to merge the one
into the other. Especially is this
tue in community like our own,
where the principle industries are the
growing of sheep, beef cattle, and
wheat. OF course everybody in this
county is especially interested in
these three and consequently every
one knows and feels-even in his
own pockets-that there has been
very little profit from these in the
last year or two. Now, with these
facts in mind and with the especially
pleasing prospects for the future in
view, it is apparent that the meaning
Of the term optimism must undergo
some revision. According to the COM
mon understanding Of the word, op-
timism means looking forward with
enthusiasm to bright prospects. En-
thusiasm seems to have vanished in
to thin air and most of the bright
prospects have been relegated to the
past, then how are we TO maintain
our optimism?
The fight is on. No man is licked
until he is dead. Let us get into the
fight, turn defeat into victory and
win little optimism. Let US not turn
the old world around.
There is selling agency or an as
sociation in this county, and some Of
them national, for each Of the afore-
said products, and If every man in
his line would back these up he
might help his neighbor little while
helping himself.
The aspect looks like bunch Of
amateur cowboys armed with lariats
and trying to tie bull individually.
The forces that have been manipu-
lating the market conditions for ages
past look very small indeed as COM
pared to the great host Of people that
they are or have been defeating.
Lets all go together and tie the
buli.-From the pen Of Morrow

which were put into effect on the in
.auguratiOn of President Harding and
the calling Of the special session Of
Congress. These policies turned the
country away from the paternalistic
ideas which seemed to saturate the
public mind under the Wilson re-
sime. One of the first things which
the Republican administration did
was to impress upon business ans
other interests of the country that it
was up to them to help themselves
and assist in working out their own
salvation, instead of running to
Washington and asking the govern
ment TO play Santa Claus to all of
their real or fancied needs. Indi-
vidual initiative and private enter
prise have been encouraged rather
than discouraged. Legislation has
been enacted wherever it could prove
helpful. But Legislation has not been
permitted to take the place of indi-
vidual energy and thrift.
The tremendous and varied activ-
tiles of the government, which COL
lectively constitute the greatest busi-
ness enterprise in the world, with a
budget of over $4,000,0c0 900 a year,
have been placed on an entirely new
basis since March 4th. This was
made possible by the speedy enact
ment Of the budget law by the Con-
greSs. The executive end of the gov
ernment took immediate advantage
of this act Of Congress to introduce
BUSINESS methods into departmental
routine and to enforce economies all
along the line.
The Treasury department has been
in the hands of one Of the most Sue
cessful Gnanciers of United States
and the country is receiving the
benefit Of the sound financial poll
cieS which Secretary Mellon pro-
ceeded to inaugurate. Interest rates
have been lowered from 7 to s
per cent, which in itself has been a
tremendous stimulus to business.
Secretary Mellon has worked out a
plan looking to the retirement of the
tremendous stimulous to business.
same time reducing the interest
charges which this debt carries.
The country has responded to this
safe and sane method Of conducting
the nations finances. Every issue
of short term treasury certificates
which has been put out under the
present administration has been SUBJ
scrbed many times over before the
date of the actual issue. The value
of Liberty Bonds which bear a very
intimate relation to the financial pol
icy of the country, has increased Is
per cent since March 4th.
Secretary Mellon climaxed the
first ten months of his administration
