that one, Mr.. w. F. Bohlender, OF
Tippecanoe, Ohio, is now here look
ing into the advisability Of locating
a wholesale nursery in Cheraw, pri-
marily to supply peach trees to pro

RESERVE BOARD MAKES
SURVEY OF DISTRICTS
Find. Lessened Demand Generally
For Bills Of Acceptance But q
Somswhat Broader Activity "

Washington, Jan. 5.-Lessened
demand generally for bills of accep-
tance but a somewhat broader &C.
tivitiy, was reported by the federal
reserve board today in year-end
survey Of conditions in the accep.
tance markets Of the twelve reserve
districts.
The influence Of tax payments
coming simultaneously with the new
certificate issue and the year end ad.
justments bad a deterrent effect On
the investors, according to the sur
vey.
A considerable decline in the coun-
try's foreign trade during 1921, in
addition to the fall in prices, result
ed in reduction in the amount of
bankers bills in the New York
market, the survey continued, adding
however, that there was steadily
broadening market.
"a highly important development
Of 1921" the report said, "was the
growth Of a market for. cali money
lent against the security of bankers
acceptances and treasury accep-
tances." .
Acceptances outstanding on De-
cember 10 were not much lower than
on November 10, according to the
Philadelphia report exports Of grain
flour, cotton and tobacco being the
principal TRANSACTIONS for which ac-
ccptances were executed recently.
Acceptances purchased in the open
market during November by the fed
eral reserve bank of Atlanta were
smaller in amount by Al per cent
than those purchased during Octo-
ber.
A considerable decrease in the &C.
ceptances transactions in Minneapo-
lis during November was noted, while
Dallas reported that the banks of
that district had materially reduced
their aggregate acceptance liability
during the month.

HAS PLAN TO KILL WEEVu
AND MAKE MONEY

Greenwood, Jan. 5.-An entirely
new method of ridding cotton of boil
weevils has been proposed by plan.
ter of this section. The plan has few
complications, one merely feeds the
weevils to pheasants. OF course, the
weevils and the pheasants must be
brought together so that the latter
may consume the former, but that Is
"a mere detail, the originator of the
scheme declares.
Using pheasants to rid cotton OF
boil weevils is not mere idle dream.
A practical farmer, a planter who
knows how to turn the undeveloped
resources of a farm into profit, has
proposed the new scheme. He is Eu'
gene Barmore, who with his brother
R. L. Barmore, operates one of the
most diversified and profitable plan.
tations in this section. Their planta'
ton is situated between Donalds and
Ware Shoals. ...
English ring-neck pheasants have
been raised at profit by Mr.. Bar
more for several years. The birds are
easily raised and demand fancy prices
as breeding stock, he says. The birds
are ravenously fond of boil weeyils
and will keep cotton field clear Of
the pests. By clipping the last joint
on one wing, the birds are prevented
from flying and may be kept in any
field enclosed with woven wire, &C.
cording to Mr.. Barmore. They dc
not eat crops and both cotton and
pheasants may be grown at profit
on the same land the planter de-
clares.
