WHAT WOULD DO IF,I
WERE IN YOUR PLACE?

All are familiar with the old gag
How do, you pronounce Castoria p
and the answer-Doctors pronounce
it harmless.
But, it is really true that BOIL
WEEVIL spells DISASTER-DISOR-
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES = unless
the proper preventive and protective
measures are applied in time.
You have been advised how to COM
bat the weevil and the plans for
fighting the weevil as outlined in pre-
vious letters should be carefully
studied and followed, but, the thing
that would do first as a County Ag-
ricultural Agent, Banker or Merchant
would be. to call meeting (not a
public meeting) of few of the lead
ers IN my county or township, being
sure to have several successful farm
ers present; to size up the situation
and decide what to do In advance
of the meeting I would prepare a
statement showing the population of
the county, the number of farms, size
OF farms, farms operated by owners
and by tenants, scrage in different
crops and production; also the num-
Der of domestic animals Of different
kinds, beef and dairy cattle, swine
and sheep, poultry and egg production
bee colonies ETC., (This information is
available in the 1920 census advance
sheets) A careful study of this state
ment showing the basis wealth of the
county should be made, and the weak
as well as the strong points of the
farming system discovered. Then,
with a proper understanding of the
situation the committee can decide up
on a farming program for the county.
After this comes work, not Indifferent
appropriation of the plan, but en-
thusiastic support. If you are con-
vinced that the program is all right
make it your business to convince
the other fcllow-kcep at tit is
going to take several years to put the
plan over.
Bear in mind that we should con-
tinuc to grow cotton if this can be
done at profit, but cotton mony
must be "velvct"-A living on the
farm comes first--wc should not have
to buy food and feed.
Carpet grass and lcspedeza pastu-
res, velvet beans, soy beans, cow peas,
milk COWS, Sour-crcam dairying, poul-
try, hogs, peanuts, sweet potatoes to-
bacco and many other farm crops, all
offer the farmers in the Coastal
Plain of the Carolinas opportunities
for living-and as world conditions
gradually improve, steadily increasing
incomes.

Hailing to each other with humor and

Over the crest of the beautiful snow,
Snow so pure when it fell from the

Till it blends with the filth of the
horrible street,
Once l was as pure as the snow, but

Fell like snowflake, from heaven to

In reply to telegram sent to Mr.. J.

Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association, asking him to give the
South Carolina Campaign Committee
some information as to the Kentucky
situation, the following reply was re-
ccived:

Florence, S. 6.
Gentlemen:
Owing to my absence from the Of
tce your telegram on Jan. 2Gth has
Just been received, and in reply will
say that there are about 1872 loose
lcal warehouses in the entire Burlcy
district OF these houses our Asso-
clatlon now owns 1T, and there are
Is houses, mostly small ones, selling
tobacco at public auction.
Up to this time they have sold
around thirty-scven to thirty eight
million pounds, and for the last ten
days receipts i'm these houses are ex-
trcmcly light and in my opinion, they
will not sell over twelve or fifteen
million pounds more.
The Association began receiving to-
bacco in Lexington on Thursday,
January Goth, and on Monday, Janu-
AIRY 30th, we began receiving in all of
our other receiving points, about 90
in number.
We are making a substantial ad~
vance to each farmer on delivery Of
his tobacco, and this advance i'm most
cases has proven to be more than the
farmer got for his entire crop last
wear. and | am glad to G., ytbo farm,
crs over the entire district are not
only satisfied, but are charmed with
the way their Association has started
off
We estimate that the Association
Will handle this year in the ncighbor-
hood Of 900 900 pounds and from
present indications, l feel confident
that we will sell most of our tobacco
in Winter order. However, we are
prepared to finance and rcdry all Of
the crop, if it becomes necessary to
do so.
We all feel very much encouraged
over the way our operation has start
cd of, and the members Of the Asso-
citation are pleased with the way their
business is being handled, and | feel
confident it is going to be the saliva
ton Of the business interest of our
section.
If there is any information at any
time that you desire, write me and l
will give it to you.
With kind regards and best wishes,

THE OUTCAST GIRL AND
HER BEAUTIFUL Poem

Millions of people have read the
written by a young and beautiful
outcast girl on her deathbed under
lgnoDle circumstances many years
ago. q London, England, paper pro-
| nonnced the poem the most beautiful
7, ever written in the United States. The
+ snow that we had here calls the poem
& back to our mind and we are append
ing it with the following brief sketch
Of the broken hearted girl who wrote
4 it: =
In the early part Of the war be-
tween the states on stormy night
right in the dead of winter, there
died at the Commercial hospital. in
q the City Of Cincinnati, young wom-
an, over whose head only two and
twenty summers had passed. She
had once been possessed of an enyi-
able share of beauty and had been
as she herself said, "hattered and
sought for the charms of her face,''
but alas She had fallen from wom-
ans high estate. Higly educated
and with accomplished manners, she
might have shone in the highest So
ciety: But the evil hour that pro-
cured her ruin was the one from
Whlch went out the innocence of
hoCc' Gnu HaVliiB SpcnC young
life IN disgrace and shame, the poor
and friendless one died the melan-
choly death of a broken-hearted out
cast. Among her personal effects
was found in manuscript "The Beau
tiful Snow" which was carried to
Enos B. Reed, a gentleman of cul-
ture and literary taste, who was at
that time editor of the National I'm
ion. In the columns of that paper
on the morning of the day follow
ing the girls death, the poem ap-
peared in print for the first time.
When the paper containing the
poem game out, the body of the VIC
tim had not yet received burial. The
attention of Thomas Buchanan Reed,
one of the first American poets,
was so taken with the stirring pathos
that he immediately followed the
corpse to its. final resting place.
Such are the plain facts concerning
her whose beautiful Snow" viii
long be remembered as one of the
brightest gems in American litera-
ture."
Obi the snow, the beautiful snow!

Over the house tops, over the street,
Over the heads of the people you

Beautiful snow! it can do nothing
wrong,
Flying to kiss the fair lady's cheek,
Clinging to lips in frolicsome

Beautiful snow from the heavens

Pure as an angel, gentle as love!
Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow!
How the flakes gather and light as
they go
Whirling about in their maddening

Chasing,

AN IDEAL INVESTMENT

Mr.. Albert W. Atwood ,one of
the best known writer's on the sub
tect Of finance and investment. has
recently written u very important
article for the Saturday Evening
Post under the title Protecting the
Small Investor" In the course Of
that article he writes of Treasury
Savings Certificates. using the sub
title. AN Ideal Investment" Of
which he says:
at cannot be stated with too
much emphasis that anyone who
really wants . safe investment with
. good interest return c1n secure the
same without the slightest difficulty.
On December 18th, last. the wife OF
the President OF the United States
purchased from Mr. Mellon, Secre-
tary of the Treasury, the first Treas

and many banks, and can be had BY
mail direct from the Treasury De
p&rtmeut. They pay 'x5 per cent on
the money invested for q five-year
period. They are guaranteed by the
government to pay this figure. and
guaranteed against any decline In
price. They are beyond question the
safest and surest investment avail
able to any American citixen. and II
they are not good, then nothing in
the world is.
There has been a lot of talk and
cheap platitudes about the necessity
and advantages of thrift and savings,
but a man cannot dig a garden with
out tools and he cannot save with
out a secure place to put his money.
A splendid work is done by the saw
ings banks, but they do not cover the
entire country by any means. There
are millions Of people whom they do
not reach. Life insurance YER an
even wider field. but 1t is only
partially a savings and investment
proposition. The Government Is the
agency that can appeal to every-
body, and at last, after much erperi-
menting during and following the
war. it has devised a permanent
form of small investment which Is
simple, convenient and which meets
the needs Of all except the wealth.

"These certificates are always

sending them to the Treasury De-

a very large sum but when it is real
