BORAH is DEFIANT
TO THREAT ON BONUS

Washington, April 22-"The
most Shiny creature which dis
graces American politics is the
man who buys office by paying
for it out of the public treasury
and charges his yenal political
obligations to the taxpayer,
was part of the answer that
Senator William f. Borah of
Idaho made to the American Lee
gion post of Pocatella, which
threatened to drive him out of
public life unless he voted to pay
a bonus to the veterans of the
World War Such a threat, Sena-
tor Borah added in his reply to
the post, reflected no credit up
on you and it has no effect what
ever on me. +"
The demand on Borah was
made by telegraph. His reply,
which was made public, not by
him, but by the post, was as fol-
lows:
II have taken this position af-
ter great consideration and with
much reluctance. | understood

such circumstances, have adopted
such a course had | not felt it

that my position is a righteous
one, | cannot change it.
And yet would do anything
within my power which felt
was in accordance with my duty
here to retain the friendship and
respect of the former service
men. There is no body of men
in my state for whom | have
greater respect or admiration.
Why should | offend them, either
for personal or political reasons?
If | wanted to stay there at
the price of my convictions, this
would have been one of my first
purchases for political power
which | should have contracted;
this would have been one of the
first compromises | should have
made. 1t would have been most
agreeable personally, and it
would have been advantageous
politically. 1t is your

who sacrifice their practice when
they enter the House or Senate
might be counted upon the fin
gers of one hand. Representa-
tive Mondell would convey the
impression that members of
Congress confine their talents to
public business; but whether
they are lawyers, or farmers or
business men, they seldom do
anything of the sort.
There are Representatives and
Senators who serve their coun-
try in Washington for many
terms, and Mr.. Mondell is one of
them. Their public career is
their life, but the number of them
is limited. Such men, judged
by their ability and devotion, are
underpaid, but 1t must be re-
membered that the average
member of Congress is not ire
placeable. If he is a lawyer, he
may go to Congress to draw the
salary, his practice not being
remunerative, or his purpose
may be to seek the position as an
honor, perhaps to use it as an
advertisement in his profession

POISON WEEVILS EARLY
Commence When Cotton Begins To
Square.


Clemson College.-The general
recommendation is to start cotton
busting with calcium a~rsenate when
from ten to fifteen percent of the cot
ton squarss\ have been p%unctured by
the weevil. In the average year this
condition would arise after the first
generation of weevils have emerged
from the squares, but this year we
have most unusual conditions, states
Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist, in
advising earlier poisoning because of
the heavy weevil infestation.
We have had practically four mild
winters, the last winter being espe-
cially mild, enabling the boil weevil
to pass the winter most successfully.
At this time we have a condition in
this. state which in normal years
would occur a month later. The wee
wills in some fields are sufficiently nu-
merous to puncture practically every
square that forms, and for this rea-
son the first application of poison is
recommended when the cotton has
set from three to five squares, after
which the regular schedule as hero
tofore recommended is followed.
The U. S. Delta Laboratory, Tallu-
lab, La, has just issued their circular
Form Ais on the subject-'Un-
usual Abundance of Boil Weevils this
Spring Will Necessitate Some Modi6-
cation in Methods of POISONING"
This circular ends with the following
statement, which should be given Sc
rious consideration by every farmer
in this state who has decided to poi
son:
"Successful weevil control this
year is going to require more effort
and more poison per acre than has
ever been the case in the past. On the
other hand, wherever the land is suf-
ficiently fertile to justify such an
effort, there is much more assurance

of profit from the operation than is
usually the case. The increase in the
cost per acre brought about by the
increased number of applications
necessary will be far more than COM
pensated for by the fact that the wee

far greater than normal, and thus
the margin of profit on the operation
is tremendously increased. In other
words, a heavy weevil ~infestation

CLEMSON COLLEGE
TO BORROW MONEY
Laboratory and Radio Station Plan
ned-The Radio Station to
Serve Whole State.

Clemson College, July B. The reg
ular July meeting of the board of
trustees of Clemson college, which is
the "budget' meeting of the board,
has just been concluded here after
consideration of the various matters
regarding finances and appropriations
for the fiscal year beginning July l.,
1922. The action of the board includ-
ed besides appropriations plans for,
equipping a first rate civil engineer
ing laboratory, a radio station, two
new positions in extension work and
one in engineering, the creation of a.
division of markets and various min
or matters.
At the outset of it's consideration
of fiscal matters the board was con-
fronted with the fact that the fertlli-
yer tag tax is the lowest in Is years.;
namely, s126,118.o7, the next low
est having been in 1914-1915, when
the tax was s155,S59.76. In view of
this fact the trustees will have to
take advantage, announces President
Riggs, of the authority granted by
the last legislature to borrow money
for the fiscal year now beginning.
The board gave considerable at
tention to the matter of providing
for equipping the civil engineering
Laboratory. To this end, a new posi-
ton, that of associate professor of
civil engineering, was created, this
position to be filled by a specialist
who will have charge of the civil en-
gineering laboratory, which hopes to
do much of the testing for the state
highway commission. The college ex-
poets with these increased facilities
to give as soon as practicable the
degree of civil engineering.
The plans already made looking
towards the establishment of a radio
outfit at Clemson were approved by
the board, provision having been
made for a radio station on a much
larger scale than that at first plan
ned. The station will serve the en-
tire state and will be Of particular
use in connection with agricultural
matters.
To meet the new needs in certain
Lines of extension work brought a.
bout by changes in agricultural con-
ditions, provision was made for two
new specialists in the extension ser
vice, one to be known as specialist
in tobacco growing and handling,
and the other as specialist in peanut,
soy beans and cowpeas.
