TREAT SEED OATS
WITH FORMALDEHYDE

All seed wheat and oats to be
planted this fall should be treated
with formaldehyde before planting
to prevent smut and other diseas-
es, County Agent George y. Mar
shall stated today.
1t is necessary to not only treat
the seed, but also the sacks used to
handle it, and the grain drills that
sow the grain. Unless these pre-
cautions are taken, the seed will
be infected again after treatment,
and the farmer will lose much.
Mr.. Marshall gave the procedure
for treating the grain as follows:
Mix one pint of 40 per cent for
maldehyde in 40 gallons of water.
Allow half gallon of this mix
ture to each bushel of seed to be
treated. sssa
Stir the grain thoroughly when
it is sprinkled with the solution
and be sure that every grain is
moistened with it. Thorough work
is very important to get the results
that are desired.
Cover the grain with sacks for
two hours after it has been treat
ed.
Be sure that all sacks used have
been treated with this mixture, and
be sure to treat the grain drill
thoroughly also to prevent reinfec-
ton of the seed. N
This plan will give you both oats
and wheat free from smut in the
spring. The loss from this trouble
in Sumter this year ran from to
so per cent, it was estimated when
the crop was harvested. .u.

COTTON CUL. TURE IN
INDIA IS FAILURE
Big English Fiym Estimates Trade
VIII Require 100000
Bales This Year

MANCHESTER, Eng, Sept. 25,
Messrs. Reiss Brothers, well known
raw cotton merchants of Liverpool,
in a special report to the trades
state that they anticipate much.
higher prices in the long run for
American raw cotton. The report
l. of great interest, especially as git
follows oil the fourth condition re-
port of the United States Govern
ment, which gives an indicated crop
of American cotton of 10,788,000
Eales. Messrs. Reiss Brothers state
that a crop of 100000 bales
will not be sufficient. Then they
continue:
'.We admit trade is lot good, but
contend that, even making allow
ance for the abnormal conditions,
the world needs now at least 49,
100000 bales. This is all the more
true because as everybody knows,
the visible and invisible supply is
now so small that it cannot be
drawn upon much further without
severely endangering the future
markets. Therefore, there will not
be any othet alternative but to re-
duce consumption by a further ad-
vance in prices. During the last
three years America. has produced
only 32,000,000 bales including L.
100000 bales of linters, against an
actual consumption of 100000
which explains the extremely
small July visible and invisible sup
ply, that is 2,573,000O bales. The
position is certainly stronger than
1t was last year, and consequently
there is no reason why the high
prices of roughly 80 cents a pound
or more should not be reached at
some time or other during the pres
ent season.
After referring to the fact that
stocks of cloth in China and India
are on a very low ebb, Messrs.
kelss Brothers conclude: "In short,
we are of the opinion that the foun-
dation is laid for a general revival
OF trade demand, mainly on ac-
count of the unquestionably small
stocks of all the world over, not
only of the raw material, but also
of the manufactured article which
makes replacement inevitable"

PREPARING TO FLY
AROUND GIL ODE
Portuguese Adventures Ready
To Duplicate MagelIan's
Feat in Airship

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-A cou-
pie of Portuguese are preparing to
become the Magellans of the air.
Magellan, you will recall, was the
first to circumnavigate the globe
he did it by sailboat more than 400
years ago.
And now two of his country
men are set on emulating his feat
by airplane.
They are Captain Sacadura Cab
raj and Admiral Gage Coutinho,
who last year flew from Lisbon to
Rio Janerio, Brazil, the first to ac-
complish that difficult flight across
the Atlantic.
According to an announcement
received here by R. B. C. Noorduyn
American representative of Anth-
ony H. G. Fokker, famous Dutch
aviator, the Portuguese filters have
purchased five Fokker seaplanes
for their flight.
The men do not expect to hop
off until early next year. Their
courses will be eastward from Lis
bon through India to Japan, a dis
lance of 1870 miles, across the
Pacific to Vancouver, and then
over Canada to Newfoundland, an
other 1880 miles, and then down
along the United States a way, and
over the Atlantic by way of the
Azores.
The course of the last part Of the
trip hasn't been mapped out fully
yet, it's distance cannot be calcu-
lated. But it is estimated that
there will be at least 1000 miles
to the last lap, making a trip of
about $4,000 miles around the
world.
1.-THE flight" says Noorduyn,
will be watched with interest by
United States officials because the
planes that Cabral and Coutinho
will use are of somewhat similar
design to the Fokker seaplanes
purchased by the United States
Navy.
With the proposed round-the-
world expedition to be attempted
by the United States Air Service,
the British effort and also that of
the French, has developed an inter-
national air race of greater impor-
lance than any attempted hitherto. F"
The seaplanes to be used by the
Portuguese have Widespread of
65 feet and carry useful load Of
400 pounds at a speed of ITO
miles an hour.

HUSKIES GATHERING
.J4ON SANFORD FIELD
SIX Georgia Letter Men Have
Been Working in Kansas
Wheat Fields

ATHENS, Sept. 25.-Husky lads
of the University of Georgia grid
iron squad are assembling here for
the opening of the football train
ing season determined to send an
eleven northward to defeat Yale
this fall.
The Georgia Bulldogs have kept
themselves in good condition
through the summer months. When
commencement came to an end in
June, Coach George Woodruff,
newly elected mentor of the grid
game, instructed his material to
watch their legs" and remember
training rules through the hot
months.
Six of the football players have
been in the wheat fields of Kan
sas, where they are reported to
have enjoyed plenty of work, 25
miles from Pratt. Taylor, Car
michael, Newton, Carroll, Smith
and Greene composed the party.
Randall, Georgia's star, has
been in Columbus, working and
playing ball. Joe Bennett, captain
of the team and one of the best
kick blockers in the South, has
been at Camp Dixie, Ga, where,
with George Pfann, leader of Cor
nell's grid team, he was an ath-
lectic instructor. Butler and Gurr,
the latter basketball star, have
been in Chicago in the employ of
a business concern.
The Yale game will be fought
October 10. On October 20, Geor-
gia will clash with Mercer Univer-
sity and on October 6, OgIethorpe
University. Both of the games will
be played in Athens, and are ex-
peeted to be excellent early sea-
son contests to put Georgia in con-
dition for the battle with Yale.
Other games on the University's
schedule are Tennessee, in Knox

FARMERS DOLLAR NOW
WORTH ONLY 60 CENTS
Says SENATOR CAPPER
More Than 100000 American
Farmers VIII Be Forced OFF
Farms of Nation, He Says
MANY ARE NOW BANKRUPT
Believes Drief From Fields VIII
Continue Till Conditions Are
Improved on Farms

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25-More
than 100000 American < farmers
will be compelled to abandon agri-
culture as a means of livelihood
and seek employment in the cities
during 1923, says Senator Capper,
Republican, of Kansas. Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace, a member
of the Republican presidents Off
cial family, is authority for the
statement that more than 100000
persons were obliged to quit farms
in 1922.
Certain Republican propagan-
dists are attempting og;ve an OPP
timistic Interpretation of these
conditions. They contend that this
exodus from the land will reduce
production and stimulate prices of
agricultural products. They care
fully avoid reference to the losses
and distress experienced by the L.
100000 men and women who thus
have been forced into failure and
bankruptcy.
Il believe the drift of people
from the open fields will be con-
tinued until the purchasing power
of the farmer is restored" said
Senator Capper, commenting on
this migration from the farms.
Elsewhere in his statement Senator
.Capper declared:
So 1.-THE farmers dollar today will
buy only 60 cents worth of Other
mems goods or labor. He must pay
them $1,31 for every dollars worth
he needs and sells them $1.31 for
every 100 cents they give him.
with the farmers dollar sta
tionary in buying power at SO
cents he is this year facing high
er farm wages, higher costs of ma
terials, and greatly increased cost
of production"
Secretary Wallace points out
that nearly everything the farmer
has to buy, including labor and
transportation, has increased in
price while his products, particular
ly wheat, are bringing insufficient
returns.
The Republicans, on coming into
power in 1921, promised to make
the American farmer prosperous.
Two tariffs-Aone of them specially
designed to protect" agriculture
have been passed since MAY,
1921. These measures put a duty
on every kind of agricultural prod
uct, and were heralded as infalli-
Bile cures for the evils of which
American farmers had been com
planning. The result has been that
the condition of American agricul-
ture as whole is worse today than
1T was when the farmers tariff"
of 1921 was enacted.
While the Republicans were pre-
tending to protect" agriculture
they were careful to put a heavy
tax on everything the farmer had
to buy-clothing, furniture, tools,
implements, paints, drugs and
medicines, building materials, etc.
The farmer has not been able to
add the tariff to the price of his
wheat, but the wool trust, the steel
trust, the sugar trust, and all the
other trusts and combines favored
by the Republicans are getting
theirs"-and large percentage of
it from the farmers.
