Brands Resignation Shocked
Washington.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE resig-
nation of Aristide BRAND as premier
of France was received with almost
bombsshell effect in arms conference
circles, the action being considered
likely to have great effect on deci-
cions already reached or about to be
reached.
The belief was also expressed that
the overturn of the BRAND ministry
would also greatly affect the Genoa
economic conference to which Amer
ica's participation had been invited
and also on the present meeting at
Cannes
Conference officials declared that

A SAFE MILK SUPPLY TS
INSURED FOR SMALL CTS

Milk inspection is of prims ~~rns-
sity. In most of the larger les
laboratories r maintained ERE
bacteria counts and chemical q ~
sis are frequently made on r B. s
collected from retail delivery wag0rj,
stores, and restaurants. But e. I
small cities and towns that can not
afford the expense of a tester and
laboratory find it hard to give proper
supervision to their milk supplies.
The United States Department of
Agriculture suggests that a practical
way for such cities and towns to in
sure a safe milk supply is through
the cooperation of two or more ad-
Jacent towns in hiring a milk inspec-
tor and maintaining a laboratory.
The cost of supervising such a. plan
may be prOrated among the different
towns OF the basis of POPULATION
without the expense being burden
some to any one of them. State and
Federal authorities are always will
ing to cooperate in work of this sort.
This plan of town cooperation in
milk and dairy inspection has been
carried out in different parts of the
country. probably the most c~onspicu-
Gus example being the group of
tOV0s in northern New Jersey known
as The Oranges" In these towns
the plan has been in use for a number
of years with results that have been
very satisfactory to all concerned.

NEWSPAPER EXPENSE.

The reason the newspaper graveyard is So
full IS that in 1907 wages we're at 100; in
1914, they had advanced to l7S, and in 1921
the figure was 1913. News print from 100
Jumped 10 ~ in 1914, and to 623 in 1921.
Newspaper postage, which cost the normal of
100 in 1907, was IA in 1914, and S37 in
1921. Ink was 100 in 1907, 200 in 1914, and
toby stands at SSl. Editorial expense ad-
vanoed from 100 in 1907 to 125 in 1914, and
to 24+ in 1921. By taking the average of all
newspaper costs, it was found that while the
average or index number of 1907 was 100, in
1914 it vas 80, and in 1921 it reached the
high mark of ALL More than 1000 news
paper publications have thus gone out of ex-
istanoe in the United States and d correspond
ing number of them in Canada.

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

That is the question you will be
asked before you e "The Bat" the
sensational dramatic success Of all
years by Mary Roberts Rinehart and
Avery Hopwood, which Wagenhals
and Kemper present at the Opera
House, Abbeville, on Thursday, Oct.
18th.
"The Bat" as you probably know,
has proven the sensation of the
theatre. It has played for more than
two years in New York and has a
run Of over one year to its credit in
Chicago, the longest run, incident
ally, ever scored by any play in
that city. Moreover, it has proven
an unqualified triumph wherever and
whenever it has been seen; London
for example still raves over it
though it has been there now for
close to a year. And everyone is
asked to keep its secret.
The fact that critics and public,
pike, have kept faith with both au-
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1922-10-04

thors and managers in preserving
the secret Of the play, has had not a
little to do with its astounding sue
cess. Without a doubt, the unexpect-
ed climax Of "The Bat" is the most
surprising finish to a play ever stag
ed. And it is this climax that is so
carefully guarded SIS a secret. Ger
tain it is that not one person who
has ever seen the play has been able
to guess it's finish in advance.
Some critics have described "The
Bat" as a dramatic smash. Others
have contented themselves with tell
ing their readers that it is a play
that holds the audience breathless
from start to finish. Still others-and
they have been many-speak of
'"The Bat as a play that will furnish
a topic for conversation for weeks
after it has come and gone.
"The Bat" is presented exactly as
staged in New York, Chicago and
London and with an exceptional cast
which includes: Lizzie Evans, VIM.

SAVE SEED AT HOME

Clemson College.-Indiana Ex-
pertinent Station workers have
shown that at least one tomato dis
ease is carried on the seed and,
furthermore, the commercial saving
of seed is accomplished in such a
manner that infection of seed from
diseased tomatoes is rendered very
Easy. They advise soaking the seed
Cor five minutes in a 1 to 1900
solution of corrosive sublinnat
following by a thorough r1asing
clean water. A more certain way Of
preventing disease introduction is
to save seed at home, and then dis
infect as above.
Tomato seed can be convenient
ly saved at home by cutting open
the selected fruits and squeezing
the pulp into a wire sieve with
meshes not larger than ZIP inch.
The juice and as much as possible
of the pulp are worked through the
screen. The remainder is put into
a cheese-cloth bag in a non-metallic
vessel, covered with water, and al
lowed to ferment for IL to IA
hours to destroy the mucilaginous
covering Of the seeds. By kneading
the sack between the fingers and
then washing in several changes OF
water the seed are further cleaned.
They are then dried by hanging the
bag on a line in the sun. If the bag
is occasionally rubbed between the
palms of the hands the seed will
dry in perfect condition.
Where just a few seed are to be
saved, they can be dried on clean
paper without any fermentation.
Home saving of seed is also of
value in the control Of blossom-end
rot, which is now quite prevalent in
some parts of the state. 1t will also
enable anyone to develop a strain
particularly suited to his condi-
tons II he will select carefully
with the desired end in view.

ARE BEEF CATTLE PROFITABLE

Clemson College, August.-"That
South Carolina has a great dormant
resource in her future meat produc-
ing capacity, a resource which will
be gradually developed, and which
will utilize the cheap untillable lands
of the ~state,". is the opinion of Prof.
L. v .Starkey, Chief of the Animal
Husbandry Division, who has just
returned from Western North Caro-
lima, where the chief source of in
come for the farmer is cattle. 1t is
surprising but true, that the farmers
in this section are in good circum-
stances. They are living in comfort
able houses and seem to have in
comes which supply their needs.
"In fact, in travelling over sever,
al states of the South and West
have yet to see a livestock section
which is not prosperous" continues
Prof. Starkey.
Good Pastures, Profitable Beef Pro,

There are many farmers in South
Carolina who believe that on the av'
erage beef production does not pay
Perhaps they are right. But we have
the right to ask why is it that it doe:
not pay? There are several things
which might contribute to the cor
rect answer to this question, som'
of which are poor soils, poor pas
lures, scrub cattle, free range, dis
eases, and the like. Prof. Starkey
of the opinion, however, that whel
we get the right sort of pasture
beef production will pay.
There are thousands of acres o
idle land in South Carolina, and a
soon as these acres T put unde
fence and the soil which is now bar
is covered with grass, beef produc
ton can be made profitable. But W
must not think for a minute tina
; this change will come about in on
year, nor in five years. Economics
beef production on thin, cheap land
will be a development that will com

NOW is THE TIME
TO KILL 1923 WEEVLL
BY DESTROYING COTTON Stall ks EARLY, WEEvILs STARVE
IN WINTER, IF NOT FLOWED UNDER, THEN RIP UP COT
TON ~sTALKs-wEEvLs CAN FEED ONLY ON
800 GREEN COTTON.
(By C. A. Whitley
Coil Improvement Committee

One of the most effective steps il
boil weevil control is the early des
truction of cotton stalks. Just a:
soon as the cotton can be harvested
90 into the cotton field and either
turn under the cotton stalks or rir
them up with a pillow. The object is
to destroy the cotton plants.
Feeyils can not feed on dead cot
ton stalks. When their food is des-
troyed they migrate to where they
can feed or else go into winter quar-.
tiers. Whether they are thus driven
away from your farm or driven into
winter quarters the probabilities of
their damaging you again next sea-
son are greatly reduced.
Over most of the cotton belt it is
-ossible to gather the cotton early
enough to permit of the destruction
OF the cotton stalks three to four
weeks before a killing frost will des-
troy them. Three to four weeks ear
1ier In going into winter quarters
means that death of weevils from
starvation and cold will be greatly
increased. ..
1t Is the last weevils that go into
winter quarters that cause damage
in the cotton crop the next year. If
all of these were starved out by
destroying cotton stalks early there
would, Of course, be an end Of the
weeyl. While one can not expect
that cotton will ever be destroyed
early ard completely enough to ac-
co12nsh a complete eradication Of
the weevil, it is true that to the ex-
tent that this is done the number OF
weevils and their damage will be
/ educed.
Chopping down stalks leaves stubs
that sprout new growth on which the
Bweesil can feed, therefore, the only
safe way is to uproot the stalks or
Else, with the aid of a drag, chain,
10 turn them completely under the
urrow slice.
Knowing that many cotton farm
RS do not plow deep enough to
over up cotton stalks, the safest
teneral advise is to uproot the
talks with a pillow and to watch that
10 new growth starts up.
As long as there is green cotton
rowth left in the field, the weevil
ill be found. s....
1t will crawl into a lock of cotton
E half opened bur to keep warm and
bme out when the sun shines to feed
h the green stuff.
Don't burn the cotton stalks. Let
lem lay on the ground. When the
round is plowed they can be turned
hder where they will decay and
Id the organic matter which the
lis so much need.
Why not organize a community
de, or countrywide movement for
e early destruction of cotton
aIks. 1t means less trouble from
Q weevils next year.
