Beer Manufacture Ends in pecerTiber. Washington, Sept. 6.- Manufac ture of beer in the United States will be prohibited after next December 1 as a war measure. This announcement was made to night by the food administration, which saki that thc decision had been reached at conference between Pres ident Wilson and representatives of the fuel, food and railroad adminis trations ami the war industries board. Factors which influenced the deci sion to prohibit the manufacture of beer after December 1, the food ad ministration announcement said, "the further necessity of war industries for the whole fuel productive capa city of the country, thc considerable drought which has materially affect ed the supply of feeding stuff fer next year, the strain upon transporta tion to handle necessary industries and the shortage of labor caused by enlargement of the army program. War',:"~ a:?o was issued to manu facturers of all beverages and min eral waters that for the same reasons there will be "further curtailment" in fuel for the manufacture cf glass containers, of the plate for caps, of transportation and focd products in such beverages." Under national prohibition legisla ' tion passed by the senate today and sent to the house which enacted sim ilar legislation last May, manufacture of beer and wine would bc prohibited 'after next May 1. Today's order will move up five months the time for discontinuance of the manufacture of beer, although the breweries may be allowed to resume operations be tween that date and the effective op eration of the "dry legislation" it finally enacted, since today's orders were "until further orders." The manufacture ot whiskey was prohibited last year and there has been increased * demand in cr -ress that the president exercise hi war time power to stop the mar ! jture of beer as a food conserv?t meas ure. The. house last May, i: . iopting the emegency agricultural a propria tion bill, attached a rider v .iich pro vided that none of the funds provided by the measure should be used until the manufacture of beer was discon tinued. Mexican Cotton Boll Weevil Making Invasion in State and Doing Some Dam age. Clemson College, Sept. 5.-The Mexican cotton boll weevil has begun seasonal migration and at this writ ing it is distributed over practically all of Jasper county and half of Beaufort county. The weevil entered Beaufort coun ty some time last year, and owing to the comparatively more favorable conditions for wintering, the pest did not receive a serious back set last winter. The present infestation in this State is the result of a continued eastward movement from year "to year, and this invasion has been pre dicted, although the time of the first appearance could not be definitely forecast. Part of Beaufort county is seeing its second year of weevil in festation and the injury in some fields is already very serious. As a rule, the weevil does practically no injury the first year it appears. The second year the injury is usually no ticeable, while the third year enables the weevil to get its full momentum; and people who were convinced in their own minds that the weevil would not reach them or that it would not do any serious damage, will change their minds. The weevil is firmly established in the State. It is spreading. From the conditions in the south ern part of the State, in the light of the experience further west planters must expect serious weevil damage. It will be a repetition of what has occurred in other States and southern South Carolina has no advantage in climate or soil that will make the sitution less serious.

Write for it, and prices of any Seeds re quired._ T. W. WOOD & SONS, Seedsmen - Richmond, Va. Senate Fasses B?!? To Make Na tion Cry. ' Washington, Sept. G.-The $12, OOOjOOO emergency agriculutural ap propriation bill with its rider for national prohibition from next July first uritii after the American armies are demobilized after the end of the war was passed tonight with out a roii call. * Before final passage of the-meas ure, tbs senate voted, 45 to (>, to retain the prohibition rider. A final effort to postpone: the 'effective date of the ."dry" legislation to December 30, 1919, was defeated. . The bill now goes to the house, and because '.of the many amend ments inserted by the senate, it un doubtedly will be sent to conference. Prohibition leaders, however, expect tlie house to agree to the "dry" rider so that there will be no possibility of changes being made by the senate and house managers. Senators voting against retaining the "dry" legislation in the bill were Brandegee of Connecticut, 'Gerry of Rhode Island. Phelan of California, Pomerene of Ohio, Ransdell of Louis iana and Underwood of Alabama, while it was annonced that many members absent and paired favored the amendment. As returned to the house, the prohibition clause-a compromise ef fected last week by senate "wet" and "dry" leaders-would stop the sale of all intoxicating beverages next June 30, except for export, medicin al, sacramental and other purposes and would prohibit the manufacture after May 1 next. iMost Important Part. The compromise prohibition "ri der" was regarded as the most im portant provision of the emergency .agricultural bill. It is a silbstituute for that of Representative Randell of ?California adopted by the house last : May prohibiting use of the bill's ap propriations until the president should exercise his',authority in the food control law to stop manufac ture of beer and wine as well as 'whiskey during the war as a food conservation measure. After passage of the bill these sen ate conferees-all regarded as friend ly to the legislation-were appointed being Gore of Oklahoma, Smith of South Carolina, Smith of Georgia, Kenyon of Iowa and France of Mary land. Plow long the bill would be in con ference was regarded duobtful. Pro hibition advocates believe it soon will go to the president who partici pated in conferences culminating in the s'enate compromise for extension of the effective day. The war revenue bill and house plans for a recess, im mediately after its passage until about October 15, however, were ad mitted obstacles. Late Efforts Fail. Eleventh hour efforts to extend the time for manufacture of beer and wine and disposal of stocks of intox icating beverages proved futile, the senate rejecting without a roll call an amendment by Scntor Phelan of California to make the provision ef fective December 30, 1919. The senate also defeated an effort Loward federal payment for stocks of distilled spirits remaining unsold June 30, 1919. During the senate controversy, op ponents of the bill-especially spokes men for wine industries-declared it will ruin many interests by not giving them enough time to close up their affairs. Prohibition leaders say that de mobilization of troops may require one or two years after the war con tinuing operation of law certainly un til after the spring of 1920 after which they confidently expect the national constitutional amendment for prohibition will have been rati fied by the States. To avoid delaying action on the prohibition measure Senator Gore late today withdrew his amendment proposing increase in the government wheat guarantee, ranging from $2.30. to $2.54 per bushel. Poultry Suggestions.. The late summer months are trying on poultry. Those who recognize this and provide comfortable places for their fowls and feed them properly will be rewarded sooner or later. Es pecially should there be shade, water and green feed these hot days. Those who have one or more roost ers "eating their heads off" should consider disposing of them. Where one has a very fine bird, one that would be very hard to replace it might be desirable to carry him over till the breeding season. But this is very expensive since feed is high. Be sides, housing space is worth some thing during winter. It is believed that most poultry raisers could well afford to dispose of their male birds and buy young birds to begin with next spring. . Green feed is likely to bc very hard to provide since the weather is quite dry and hot in most localities. But plans should be made to grow wheat rye, oats, barley or emmer as soon as fall rains permit. A little green food will be worth much to the Hock when grain is high and scarce. Fowls get tired of one kind of food. Even the best of grain will not satis fy them from day to day. They crave a change just as people crave a change of diat. You will (Ind it profit able to change the poultry feed oc casionally. Fresh air and clean roosting hous es .;re necessary in warm sultry weath er. Don't make the mistake of crowd ing fowls, young birds or hens..You will surely pay the penalty in sick fowls and parasites if you do. Build ing materials are cheaper than tho loss of expensive fowls, it will pay to provide roomy houses for the I birds. The old hens likely will disappoint you. They are likely to eat and grow fat at the expense of egg production; Such hens are usually more profitable on porkless and bcefless days, served on the table. Such non-producers are seldom worth carrying through the winter, especially on expensive feeds. Ii pays to clean out the roosting house very often, at least once a are several advertised and kept by poultry dealers. "Cleanliness is next to godliness" in the poultry yard. Profits in poultry raising are more dependent upon the care given the flock than the number raised and the hens kept. Better care in many in stances would mean better profits. -Farm and Ranch.
