SECURES SPECIAL RATE
FOR LUMBER SHIPPERS
Through Efforts of Chamber of
Commerce New Rates Effective
Tuesday, August Sth.

According to an announcement
made public by Secretary Mcdaniel
of the Newoerry chamber Of COM
merce, this organization, through its
traffic and trancportat ION committee
has been able to secure 'cpec-al
freight rate on lumber to be dressed
in transit. The organization has
been trying for some time to get this
rate on the Colrn,5ia Newherry and
Laurens railroad, and in a letter re-
ceived from Mr. j. =. Taylor, pre-
ident of the c., n. &. l., he advises
that the rate will go into effect On
Tuesday, August 8th. The letter re-
ceived from Mr.. Taylor reai5 as fo!-
lows:
Columbia. S. c., August 2, 1922.
Mr.. C. P. Mcdaniel, Secretary,
Chamber of Commerce,
Ncw5erry, S. C..
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter Of the 31st
ultimo. A. C. L. lumber transit car
rier No. 9 l. c. c. No. B-2053, efec-
tive August Sth, 1922, provides for
milling in transit on lumber at all
points on the C. n. & L. railroad.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) J. P. Taylor,
President.
The rate referred to above means
that lumber shippers who ship lu:n-
Der via the C. n. & L. will rave a
considerable amount of money, cs-
-pecially if it is to be dressed in tran
sit. Fer instance, should a party at
Kinard want to ship a car load of
lumber to Columbia it could be stop
ped in Newberry and dressed without
additional cost, with the exception of
the mall charge for the car. Here
tofore, if the shipment was stopped
in Newberry to be dressed the snip
per would have to pay more than the
regular freight rate.
The news Of this special rate should
be received by the shippers with
much sat:-faction and thanks to the
Newberry chamber of commerce and
the c. N. & l.. railroad company.

WEEVIL INFESTATION
is IRREGULAR
Weather Conditions Favorable to
Weevil Development. Continua-
tion Control Measures Advised

Clemson College, July 31.-"The
most striking feature in the boil wee
vii situation is the irregularity Of the
infestation, not only in the various
count:e,. but on individual farms and
even in single fields" said Prof. A.
F. Conradi, entomologist, at the
weekly boil weevil conference here
today, after hearing reports from the
field specialists who were present for
the. conferenc and from the county
agents over the state.
At the close of the conference the
following statement was given out:
The weather during the past week
while hot was moist and generally
favorable to weevil development. /
should be cxpl: that not and dry
weather IS the weev;l's worst enemy,
but with the exception Of few 10
cal;ties we have had no such weather
during tie past week. Showers
hive been frequent and the atmos-
phere moist, which Offset the benefits
tnat would have been derived other
wise from the weather.
The percentage of squares in
tested varies, as shown by the re-
ports, from a snail percent to 60 or
70 percent. This condition is fire.
quently very misleading to farmers
who are given the credit of low
infestation to one or other of con-
troll measures they ere attempting,
when Is; a matter of fact the infesta-
ton was not there to begin with.
We know this to be the case, because
there have been accumulated over a
period of years a series of most elab-
oalte data in experiments work
showing what results may be expec-
ted .frsm one or the other of these
various control sasures~unders the
pest cOndlLiOT'-.
Square collecting when lone thor
cusnly CT the plant and on the
ground is s.,ll advised throughout
the Piedmont section, and in other
-ections and areas where Light square
infestation occurs.
Frequent shallow cultivation should
be continued SO long as cotton does
not sufficiently overlap for this to be
injurious.
It is very necessary that the labor
situation be- controlled during Aug
ust for the purpose of square col
lecting and cultivation. Failure to
have labor available may mean much
less.
Fruiting over the state generally
is very good. But il equent!y hap
pens that individual .armers have a
snail crop of fruit set at this time,
a condition which would hardly be
due to natural conditions but prob
ably to poor soil and poor seed. 1t
must be kept in mind that good soil
and good eeed are two things most
necessary before one may expect
profit from any operation for boil
weevil contr5l.
Frequently VIC are asked to advise
whether busting should be undert2k-
en- whore square infestat:on has
reached upwards Of co percent. This
depnds on:
I. Whether the farmer is prepar-
ed to dust immediately. If 50, then
we advise him to du.-t, cut there is
I'd time left now to secure dusting
machinery and poison, knowing that
weevil dispersion is about to begin.
?. Wherever the dusting schedule
has been begun it should be contin-
ued with view Of reducing tnesc high
infestat:ons before the dispersion be-
gins.

FINE P|CTURESA At
LINCOLN THEATRE

The Lincoln theater has just
made one more round in climb
ing the ladder of success by the
showing of the Douglas Fairbanks
production, Three Musketeers,
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
The picture is Fairbanks mas
terpiece and is full of his dashing
athletic acting. Many dueling
scenes cast throughout the picture
contrast greatly with the gun
fights witnessed in most films OF
today. Fairbanks, although using
q great many of his original
stunts in his showing of D'Arta-
gan, does not burlesque the role,
but just makes himself a rollickinS
lovable chap throughout the film.
1t can be assurably said that the
people fortunate enough to wit
ness this wonderful production
will always remember this as
Fairbanks greatest picture.
He is supported with an all
star cast which also is a great
asset to the pictures success.
Nigel De .Brulier who gained
great fame throught his wonder
full acting in the Metro production
-Four Horse Men" also was one
of the cast in this greater produc-
ton, and as Cardinal Richelieu,
was a leading character.
The picture carried the audience
back to the year of 1926 and in
the country of France, showing
how the red blood of manhood in
those days was easily set atire
with hate, with but the least
cause.
The portrayal OF the many duel
ing scenes showed Vividly how
they would quickly cross swords
and fight to death for the protec-
ton OF their honor or some one
dear to them. Therefore it was
sometimes hard after witnessing
these realistic, spicy scenes to be-
lieve we are now living in the
twentieth century.
The complete cast of characters
in this production are as follows:
Douglas Fairbanks, Leon Barry,
George Sergmann, Eugene Pal
lette, Boyd Irwin, Thomas Holding,
Sydney Franklin. Charles Stevens.
Nigel De Brulier, Willis Robards,
Lon Poff, Mary MacLaren. Mar
guerite De LaMotte, Barbara La
Mari, AdOlph Mengow.
The Lincoln theater manage
ment has also booked several 9TH
or big productions and will be
shown during the coming summer
months.

Monday evening. also one for

Another for street light to be

DAIRY
HINTS
SECRETS OF DAIRY SUCCESS
Two Big Things Are Proper Care and
Feed, Says Specialist of okla
homa College.

S'Two great secrets in dalrying which
have been the reason for the success
of thousands of dairymen are proper
feeding Of cows and proper care of
COWS" says A. G. Baer, head of the
Dairy Husbandry department Of Ok
iahoma Agricultural and Mechanical
college.
thousands Of cows would he profit
Rble and good cows If they were given
IN chance; If they were properly fed;
fr0rced, and cared for.
.'Go0d feeding means to give cows
enough feed to produce milk and the
right kind of feed to produce milk.
Most of the feed for cows ought to
be grown on Oklahoma farms. Alfalfa
hay Is the lyest dairy cow feed which
can be grown. Corn and sOrghums
such as kafir and darso, can be grown
for the silo. Ensilage on a dairy farm
or any farm where dairy cows are
kept provides succulent feed and is in
tispensable.
"Most of the grain for cow feeding
can be grown on the average okla
milk cows Is as follows: parts
ground oats, 3 parts bran or alfalfa
meal, 3 parts ground kafir, 1 part cot
tOnseed meal.
"A dairy cow needs about one pound
Of grain for three or four pounds Of
milk produced. Dairy cows should be
fed grain individually according to the
amount of milk for growth If imma-
ture, and at times to produce gain In
weight.
"Dalry cattle will respond to good
care Every Oklahoma farm where
cows are kept should have at least a
good shed to protect the cows from
bad weather and cold winds. A blan-
llet In very cold weather will pay
for itself I'm very short time. Every
dairy cow should be cleaned and
brushed regularly. 1t helps to keep
her In better health"

Mankind, after passing through the
stone age, the bronze age and the
varying phases of civilization now
faces the dawn of new era. Thomas
Edison, in recent interview declared
that we have entered into the Age OF
Chemistry and the remarkable achieve
merits of laboratory workers serve to
substantiate this statement.
r lis difficult to prophesy how great
will be the contribution of chemists
TO our present civilization, but so
much has been accomplished and SO
great is the expectancy that it is evil
dent why thoughtful men are insist
ing that the public should be awak-
ened to a full knowledge of the signii-
cance of the science of its national life.
The synthetic chemist has been able
to produce practically all necessary
war materials and thousands OF artl-
'cles invaluable in peace times, mostly
from coal tar, but it has only touched
the fringe of,its ultimate development.
Synthetic foods and substances SO
deadly as to make war impossible may
be expected from the researchers.
Edwin Z. Slosson, in his splendid
book, Creative Chemistry" quotes
one of the greatest French chemists,
Berthelot, as follows:
"The problem Of food is chemical
problem. The day will come when
each person will carry for his nour-
ishment his little nitrogenous, his pat
of fatty butter, his package of starch

OWOSSO, June THE Cham
ber of Commerce held its weekly
meeting Tuesday noon at the
armory.
Secretary Seagmillen read a
letter received by him from the
Michigan Pike association thank
ing the Chamber of Commerce for
its donation of $25.
The letter also read that the
Michigan Pikers intended to pass
through Owosso July 26th on a
tour, and hoped that some impress
sive speakers could be secured for
the occasion The letter and re-
quest were signed by John T.
Ross.
Another letter was also read by
Secretary Seagmillen. This was
from the bureau of the new pro-
posed freight rates of Michigan
with headquarters at Battle Creek.
Tne letter stated that they had
succeeded in securing lower freight
rates in certain portions of the
state and hoped to make new vic
tories in other parts The bureau
also thanked the business men OF
OWOSsO for the contribution they
made in helping along this inves-

by the main line of the Michigan

Mr.. Seagmillen in his address
