It brought on a brisk debate, the resolution finally being referred to Sa committee for report next year. I, The delegates showed rare wisdom in at least dc- Kerning action on this question. The Banner-Herald fields to no one in the belief that Child Welfare is Bone of the most, if not in many respects the most, im- Sportant problem before the nation today. No one has ftnorc interest in protecting the children of the land Egainst disease mid giving them the opportunities in feife they should have than has this newspaper. This «s not the point however. £ The American Legion was organized to perform —.i very definite task. Thnt task has not been per il, irmed. It will never be fully complefed. It will gdlways bo necessary for this Organization to function; •function as perfectly as it has up until this good day. {This task is to stand up for pure Americanism, lend “aid and cncourugement to the disabled veterans of ithe World War, keep alive the sentiments born of the "great war and, in short, “For God And Country.” 6~ To take on another work, that of fostering Child “Welfare Work, however meritorious may be that ap- -pcal, Would bo to toad up on too much. It is the . ..nature of men and organizations to take on too much. Wmuny men in this- town are staggering under too Sieavy a load of public service and personal business Jfrctivities. They cannot resist the appeal the need for -certain work make:- to them. Organizations arc no -stronger than individuals in this respect. We' all JJ-.bould be more interested in Child Welfare than we Sere but it is not the peculiar duty of the American ZLegion to interest lis. It is to be hoped that the “Lcjripn will eventually turn down all such resolutions Via stick to its gun:;—its fight for the disabled vet- Jerans and a great principle—and not put too many -iron* in the fire. E • HE PLOWED COTTON STALKS UNDER , • • Dr. R. H. McFa,Hen’s farms, near Chester,' S. ’C.,' jt Jarc a splendid example of what plowing under stalks Sdn November will accomplish. Tho farms arc per- - Jfectly free from boll weevils with the exception of “forty acres. £ .On 820 acres Dr. McFadden plowed under every ^Jcotton stalk and this land is absolutely free from boll HKweevil infestation, lie is poisoning on the 40 acres ^■hd did not plow under and on these 40 acres there is heavy infestation. On the 320 acres, thus far, he , _hqs not found it necessary to poison, t X jDr. McFadden is fimly convinced of the wonderful • result'’ to be achieved by plowing under all cotton k' Sst&lks, trash and debris, in the fall, and this fall he g f plans to turn under every cotton stalk on his farms. "At first, burning cotton stalks was strongly urged, ^°! destroy the boll weevils, but this has been found >Jm to-, be unnecessary ,as the boll weevil docs not hiber- ‘Jnqte in tho earth and by plowing in under the cotton - stalks, tho elements of plant food they contain arc “ returned to the soil.
