Arriving at his office, Harry had

PRESENT WEEvlL CONDITIONS
No Need for Extreme Pessimism as
to Damage

Clemson College, June 3.-After a
conference here between Director w.
W. Long of the extension service,
Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomologist,
and V. V. Williams, until recently as
sociated with B. R. Coad at the Delta
laboratory and now with the extern
sion service to conduct poisoning
demonstrations in this state, Director
Long Issued a statement on the boil
wcsvil situation to the effect that ma
ny of the insects now present on cot
ton in various parts Of the state are
not boil weevils but coWpeas pod wee
wills, and farmers need not become
panicky over the presence now OF
abundant bell weevils, since the real
loss to be expected depends on wea-
ther conditions in June and July. Dl-
rector Longs statement, which should
tend to temper the alarm now felt by
many, is given below:
/ ga great majority of the weevils
in most of the cotton fields at this
time are compea pod weevils and not
boil weevls. These insects in most
cases look 50 very much alike that it
is difficult for the average man to dis
tinguish them. The cowpea pod wee
vi IS not primarily cotton pest but
occurs on cotton only temporarily in
the absence Of cowpeas. This pest
is most injurious along the line from
Barnwell to Marlboro county. In this
belt it is expected every season at
this time, and the most successful
practice is to delay chopping of young
Gotten until the attacks are over.
Wherever these insects attack cotton
that has been chopped to a stand the
value of rapid thorough cultivation
can not be over estimated.
Summer Weather Main Factor
The fact that the boil weeYil pass
ed the winter in great numbers and
may be expected in cotton fields at
this time in unusual abundance, does
not necessarily mean great damage
to the cotton crop. Situations like
th.s have occurred before in the his
tory of the weevil in this country
where they came out of winter quar-
ters early and in great numbers,
causing u panicky condition among
the farmers. The loss that we may
expect depends on the weather condl-
tions of June and July.

VERDUN RECEIVES
AMERICAN MEDAL

Verdun, France, June 4.-In the
name of the American congress and
the American people, Myron T. Her
rick, the American ambassador, today
presented to the city CT Verdun the
first and only medal ever given by
the United States government to a
community in the world.
The ambassador and Premier Poin-
care together visited the ground
where are buried many thousands OF
French whose valor the medal COM
memorates, and 10th spoke under the
emotion aroused by the thought Of
the dead and the sight of the "red
zcne" so devastated that It may never
be fit for human habitation.
Mr.. Herr;ck assured France of the
deep friendship of the United States,
which though it might not prevent
disagreements and misunderstanding
would ,...3sipat- and survive them.
"Verdnn and vaior are forever one
and inseparable,' said the amoaasa-
dor. "Here blazed the spirit OF
France. And so this medal, which
give to this illustrious city, hallowed
by the sacrifices and courage OF all
France. is a tribute from the whole
United States to all Of France"
NJ. Poincare recalled the thrill at
the coming of the Americans, the
ioy of their victories, the sorrow over
Their dead, and expressed in glowing
terms the gratitude of France to Am
erica.
Both the French premier and the
American ambassador were greeted
with enthusiasm when they arrived al

yet be practically destroyed, so that
the abandoning of a cotton crop at
this time could hardly be justified by
the records. The cotton should be
given frequent and shallow cultiva-.
ton to keep down the weeds and to
air the soil. AS the bulk of the cot
ton crop in South Carolina is made by
share-croppers, the women and chill
dren should be used to pick weevils,
and this should be so supervised that
it is done with great thoroughness,
otherwise it has no value whatever.
"The damage done by weevils in
juring the bud at this time is fire.
quently overestimated, the only effect
being slightly delaying the growth of
the plant.
Farmers prepared for dusting are
advised that the first dusting may be
given in heavily infested fields about
the time fruiting begins, and this to
be followed by the second application
when ten to fifteen per cent of the
squares have been punctured, at
which time three dustings should be
given in succession four days apart.
Infestation counts are easily made by
any one and directions are furnished
by the extension service"

Latter Day Prosperity

We've seen the time in days gone by
When folks were short of stuff,
But now with cash all buncoed,
We get bout half enough.
A dollars worth nickel,
A dime just bout cent,
Our merchants have gone crazy,
And most Of them 'hell-bent.
Our biscuit stuff that used to cost
Bout fifty cents a sack

Those fifty cents snack.
With "fat back" up round thirty
cents,
Sow-belly just as high,
1t hurts my feelings just. to stand
And hear store keepers lie.
Wei! have to leave off underclothes
And trust to outside rags
To hide our hides from skeeters
And bUst-head scalawags.

In congress soon will cease,
When they get all that's in it,
Ard let US have some peace.
While all these skinning funkies
Have got Us on the plod
They sit in Amen corners
And think they're fooling God.
But watch out. Mr.. Skinner,
And watch your footsteps well,
And zee that all the toe-points

that too much space is taken up about

the manner of taking up this space
hasa great deal to do with it. Then,
