NOT so TEMPTING

The Republican nomination for
President this year will not be
nearly so tempting as it was four
years ago, and there is good rea-
son for believing that less effort
will be made by designing poll
ticians and seheming plungers to
control it.
But recent developments and
the testimony of witnesses before
the Senate oil committee natural
ly lead to more or less speculation
as to who is planning to control
the G.. 0. P. convention at Cleve-
land and how much money will be
spent for that purpose.-Albany

The Atlanta appointed dele
gates to the state convention are
not entitled to be seated. The
rules governing the presidential
primary plainly state that the re-
suit shall be declared April IL,
and that the chairman of the varl-
Gus counties are then to name
the delegates from among the
friends of the successful candi-
date. If the chairman will follow
these rules, as they should, and
issue certificates only to those so
appointed the premature delegates
will have no voice in the conven-
ton. Only those appointed in
regular order should be given any
consideration. There is no need
of making rules if they are to be
ignored. The county chairmen
should exercise their rights, await
the declaration of the result which
will be announced next Saturday,
and proceed to appoint the dele
gates in compliance with the rules.

HOW TO PREVENT WAR

Mr.. Baruch says that in the
next war money as well as men
must be conscripted. When young
men are marched away to be shot
or gassed, the money of rich men
must be taken away to be spent
for the war and not returned to
the owners.
That has been suggested very
often between wars, but it does
not mean anything. 1t will net
mean anything while money re-
mains as it is the greatest force
in government.

10 Bales of Cotton On
Is Acres

control of farm near Airing
ton. This farm was placed under
the direction of r. ]. H. De-
Loach, who recently spoke to
many Sumter county farmers on
the subject of weevil con-
troll.
On this Arlington farm. Mr..
DeLoach planted IS acEes in
cotton and gathered 10 bales.
On nearby farms, it is reliably
reported, it required 9 to 10
acres to produce single bale.
MIR. DeLoach's signal success
was gained by following the
simple plan advocated by the
government, and here is what
he said to farmers as quoted in
the press of the state:
Three applications of poison
did the work. When the first
squares developed he began dust
ing, and busted at intervals of
five days each. After that he y
picked up all the squares. He
claims the weeyila that appear
prior tc the formation of squares
do not damage the cotton. No
young weevils are furnished by
this brood of weevils, because
they have no place to deposit
their eggs. They come out of
their winter quarters and die be-
fore they lay any eggs. Sucking
the buds of the young plant
does rot damage the plant. He
tested this thoroughly and found
that the plants thus attacked by
the weevils made as good cotton
as those that were not touched
by the weevils in the bud The
first eggs are laid in the first
squares, and that is the time to
begin busting. If busting is
properly done at that period all
the weevils are killed. After
that when three applications have
been made and then all the
squares are picked up, the fight
has been won.. he prefers the
dust method in preference to
+ the liquid applications, though
he says the latter is good. But
the point he stressed was that
busting be thorough at the ap-
pearance Of the first squares,
and then following the three APP
phcations, if all squares are
picked up that have been pune
tured, the fight has been won,
and there is no more busting to
be done during the year, be-
cause all the weevils have been
killed. Then in November run
a cutter over the stalks and pillow
them under and that method de-
stroys the weevIs that would
otherwise go into winter quar-
tiers.
He did not advise the farmers
what to do. He is very optimis-
tic. He says that beyond all
doubt, we can make a bale to
the acre, no matter what sort of
weather we have. Asked about
busting after rains, he said if
ne could get eight hours before
the rain fell, that was all he
wanted, and he would wait until
five days to make the regular
application. He also said that Is
pounds of poison was sufficient
for an acre of land, regardless
of weather conditions.
Mr.. DeLoach does not speak
as a theorist. but as practical
farmer. He did not tell the
farmers how it could be done"
but how | did it.
MIR. DeLoach's plans mean
more cotton to the acre, more
work to the day and more poi
son to the plant. AS one Sum
ter county farmer expresses it,
Raising cotton now isn't like
it used to be; the fellow who
follows the old methods will
lose out; it S new day with
new plan

.Mr. Hays made an appeal on No.
the republican campaign deficit, stat
ing that the deficit then was $780,
.'on December 1. 1920. the Sinclair
OIL stock was valued at SIS a share,
which would make the $4,000 shares
publican national committee worth
$l.S7s.000 at that time"
In a long argument presented i'm
mediately after Sinclair was called
to the stand Martin w. Littleton Of
the Sinclair counsel contended that
by the resolution Congress not only
had brought to an end the jurisdic-
tion Of the committee, but had de-
fined the policy of the government
that the oil shall be preserved for the
government"
You have passed upon the validity
OF these leases" Littleton said, "and
as far as the legislative adjudication
can De effective you have legislated
TIE leases to be void and have legis-
latively imposed an Injunction with
regard to the property.
you have established a policy of
the government on this subject, and
anything you claim would be only a
detail, which would not warrant the
further examination of my client in
this matter"
Says All Duties F1nished.
You not only say that the leases
were void, but the language you
USE very broad ond the policy
you have established Is very definite.
You have declared the policy of
this government is that the oil should
be maintained in the ground as a
great reserve supply to meet a ma
tional emergency. You have thus
discharged all the duties placed in
your hands.
What is 1t your committee is in
vestigating that entities to take my
client, who has been here time and
again with his books and papers, and
say you must testify further.
Have you any jurisdiction which
entities you to do so under the stand
ards and precedents of the American
government"
The right of congressional COM
mittees to call witnesses and papers
from all over the country to aid in
framing legislation, the attorney
argued, never has been sustained by
the courts.
Has 1t ever been denied?" asked
Senator Walsh. the committee prose-
cutor.
No. but 1t has been questioned"
was the reply.
There was long colloQuy be-
tween Littleton and senators as to
the rights of congressional commit
tees to summon witnesses. Sinclairs
counsel contended that the committee
was without any vestige Of power.
IF your ideas should prevail" said
