SUGAR HAS RECORD
MARKET ACTIVITY

The activity and strength Of the
sugar market during the past ten
weeks has surprised not only the
numerous body Of pessimists who had
predicted a period of stagnation and
ruinously low prices during the cur
rent year, but also those who were
most optimistic regarding the posi-
bility of a broad and vigorous volume
of trade once the market was left tc
be governed only by the free interplay
of supply and demand" says Facts
About Sugar, the leading publication
of the country devoted to American
sugar production. The editorial con-
tinues: 1.-The month of January, US
ually a comparatively dull season in
the sugar trade, was marked by the
heaviest importations, MEETINGS and
distribution ever recorded for this
period of the year. February and
the first half of March have witnessed
an acceleration rather than a dininu-
ton in this movement.
Every department of the industry
has shared in this activity. Recorded
sales in the raw market have amount
ed to over million tins or at the
rate of over five million year, and
undoubtedly many TRANSACTIONS have
not yet been reported. The move
.ment of raw supplies from Cuba has
proceeded at remarkable pace and
with the greatest sn1oothness. Load
in gand shipping e million and half
bags Of sugar in a single week is a
task of no small proportions, but it
has bene performed by the fleet serv-
ing the sugar trade, between Cuba
and the United States without &
hitch"

TWO THOUSAND MEN
TO CANVASS MEMBERS

Columbia, March 81. With cit
Shall Not FAN as their slogan, over
1000 farmers are preparing to take
the field in South Carolina beginning
the first week i'm April to canvass for
signatures to the cotton cooperative
marketing contract. The two thous-
and canvassers represent those who
have already signed the contract and
who. are convinced that the future
prosperity of the state depends in
very large measure on the successful
completion of the campaign for the
formation of the South Carolina Cot
ton Growers Cooperative Association {.
The month of March has been one
oe great activity in practically all
counties and great headway has been
made. Over 100000 bales have been
signed during this month and the ma
chinery has been perfected for the
great drive which is expected to bring
victory next month.
During the month of March bank
ers, preachers, lawyers, doctors and
teachers have joined with the farmers
in making speeches over the state in
behalf of the movement. The plans
and purposes of the association have
been explained in every cotton growing
county of the state.
of the counties. Marlboro has now
signed up .26,445 bales; Darlington
1889 bales; and Sumter 1900 bales.
These are the three leading counties.
Lee county comes fourth with 1927
bales and Dillon is only 100 bales be-
hind her. The four leading counties
have signed up over 10000 bales or
more than one-sixth of the quota for
the whole state. These four counties
expect to sign a total Of 100000 or
one-fourth of the quota for the whole
state before May 1. Greenville, Spar
tanburg, Anderson and Laurens in the
Piedmont section are expected to sign
up another 100000.
Reports from over the state tell of
enthusiasm everywhere. The bank
ers and businessmen, realizing that the
prosperity of the state is dependent to
a great degree upon the formation OF
the association are throwing them
selves actively into the fight.

WATERMELON ANTHRACNOSE
CARRIED ON THE SEED
Treat Seed with Corrosive
Sublmiate Before Planting


Clemson College, March 27.-When
seed is harvested from diseased mel
ons. it is likely to he cont animated
with anthracnose spores, with the re-
suit that the young plant is almost
certain to be affected with the dis
ease. This can be prevented by dis
injecting the seed before planting.
1t must be remembered however,
that the fungus may live over winter
on dead. vines and fragments of the
fruits of cucumber, cantaloupe, and
watermelon; so that, even if the plant
is healthy at the start, the disease
may botani a foothold in the field
from a source other than the seed.
Barnyard manure sometimes carries
the. disease when it comes from a lot
in which the melons were fed to the
hogs. On account of the fact that
infection may come about in several
ways, seed treatment alone does not
insure a healthy crop. But it is a
measure that should be carried out in
connection with a good spray pro-
gram and other sanitary methods sug-
gested above, say the plant patholo-
gists.
Directions for Treating Seed
Immerse the seed in a IL 900 mer-
curic chloride Corrosive sublimatel
solution for five minutes, wash the

Caution.
Nercuric chloride is extremely DOls-
onous when taken internally. 1t Will
not iniure the hands however, when
used at the strength recommended
above. Mercubric chloride attacks
various metals, so glass, earthenware.
or wooden receDtacles should lie used
in mkangi up and handling the solu-
ton. The seed should not be left in
the solution over five minutes. The
same solution should not be used for
treating more than two lots Of seed.
Suggestions.
In making the treatment it will be
found convenient to put the seed tC
be disinfected in a loosely woven bag,
filling the bag about threefourths
full so as to allow for the swelling
of the seed. The seed can be washed
in the same bag by placing in run
ming water for fifteen or twenty min
utes, or by rinsing thoroughly in a
barrel or a tub through several sue
cessive changes of water. They
should lie stirred while being treated
and while being washed.
The tmercuric solution in small
quantities can be conveniently pre-
pared from the standard mercuric
chloride tablets sold by druggists.
Where commercial growers or grow
ers' associations wish to treat seed On
a large scale, the mercuric chloride
powder can be purchased from whole
sale druggists and used at the rate of
one ounce to eight gallons Of water
or one pound to 125 gallons Of water.

CORN PLANTING.

Corn should be planted as early in
the season as weather and soil condi-
tions permit. The early paintings are
usually more productive than late
paintings. However, there is nothing
to be gained by planting before the
sou is warm enough to germins te the
seed readily and to give a good
growth. IF the soil is cold, the young
corn will turn yellow and grow very
slowly, which may result in an uneven
s stand; whereas, if the soil is warm
the sssFWin germinafe quickly and
the plants will grow, Off strong and
vigorous at once.
The depth to plant will depend on
the moisture conditions in the field
at planting time. On rolling sandy
land, which is usually dry during the
spring months, it issa good practice to
plant in the bottom OF shallow fur.
row, making the seed bed five or six
inches, below the surface. This as
sures the seed being placed in a moist
sell and If covered from 1-2 to 8
inches, deep, it is likely to germinate
, at once. As the corn grows, the soil
can be filled in around the stalks
whcih will make the field level again.
In poorly drained soils it may be ad
visable to plant on low BED, other
wise, too much moisture may hinder
termination by keeping the soil cold.
The seed should not be planted as
deep on a heavy or poorly drained
soil as on well-drained soil.
The distance to plant the corn will
depend largely on two factors, name
ly, moisture conditions and the fer
tiIity of the soil. Thin sandy land,
lacking in humus or organic matter,
will necessarily require wide planting.
Under such conditions, the rows
should be five feet apart and the
plants about two feet apart in the row.
il summer legunaes are to be planted
between the rows (and they certainly
should be planted), the rows may be
Six feet apart.
On land capable of producing from
Is to 80 bushels an acre, the rows
may be four and half feet apart and
the plants fifteen to eighteen inches
in the row. When moisture condi-
tions are good and the soil rich in
humus much closer planting in the
drill may be practiced safely.
II the corn is te be fertilized with
commercial goods, the most of the
amount should be applied before
planting and thoroughly mixed with
the soil to prevent the fertilizer from
coming in contact with the corn
seed and injuring the termination
powers Of the seed. Repeated appli-
cations Of fertilizer are not usually
effective due to the fact that the far
mer waits too late to make the Sec
nn6 application. In case the CROP
needs more fertilizer the farmer
should apply fertilizer that will be-
come available readily. In this case,

MASTER DETECTIVE

John Barrymore Gives Screen
Version of World-Famous
Character in "Sherlock
Holmes"

Sherlock Holmes is the best known
character in fiction of the present
generation. if not of all time; his
name and fame have been carried
over the civilized world until merely
to pronounce the name conjures up
vision OF master detective OF al
most super-human intelligence. In
every language the words. Sherlock
Holmes mean detective Of uncanny
insight. The stories by Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle in which Sherlock
Holmes figures have been translated
into all languages and have carried
his fame into every nook and Granny
of the world.
In the realm Of the imagination he
is a commanding figure. but a fiS7Ire
that has not hitherto been available
for the screen. It. was inevitable
that some day Sherlock Holmes
would appear as the hero Of a screen
story. The immortal detective will
be seen at the Isis theatre tomorrow
for two days in the Coldwyn picture
called Sherlock Holmes" 1t is an
adaptation from the stage play fash
Toned about Sir Arthur's famous
character by William Gillette, which
that actor used for years on the
