Clemson College to Give a One Year
Course in Agriculture. =

The young farmers OF South Caro-
lima who, for lack of means or from
personal disinclination, have been de-
TERED from taking q four-year course
in agriculture have long felt the needs
of a short course in agriculture that
would enable them to become more
efficient farmers. South Carolina has
needed, and is needing today, young
men on the farm who have the knowl-
edge necessary to make farming high
ly profitable, and that will transform
the drudgery of the farm into agree
able-even pleasurable- work.
The board of trustees, at its recent
meeting, adopted the recommendation
of President Griggs, providing for the
establishment Of such a course, which
will be arranged to begin next session.
This course will provide instruction
in agriculture, horticulture, animal
husbandry, dairying, farm mechanics,
blacksmithing, simple bookkeeping,
arithmetic and grammar. There will
also be given instruction in parliament
tary practice and public speaking as
will enable the graduate to take the
lead in, his home community and dem
onstrate to his neighbors the advan-
tage of scientific methods Of farming.
The cost of the course will be one
hundred dollars. II.
At the meeting of the Association OF
Southern Agricultural Workers Presl-
dent Riggs was elected second vice
president. H.. . .. .....
The Newberry County club was or
ganized a few nights ago. The club

Action Taken by Vote OF
4 tO2.

Spartanburg, Nov. 13.-At a meeting
of the newly elected city council
which was installed this afternoon the
matter of granting franchise to the
gnterurban railroad was taken up
The meeting began at 5 O'Clock IN the
afternoon, but it was after II O'Clock
when the ordinance, granting the
right to operate through the cltys
streets came up for discussion. By
q vote of four to two the new councll
decided to grant to the interurban a
franchise, similar in every respect 10
the one that the Interurban refused 70
ACCEPT at meeting OF. the directors
held in Greenville short time ago
with the exception Of the Objectionable
clause which limits the time OF the
franchise to % years. Council To-
night voted to grant the franchise to
the Interburan for term of So years
and this will prove acceptable to tno
road. =: - .. - :..... 49,.
The attitude of the former city
council toward the interurban has held
up the work on the road to Spartan

held that % years. was too short a
time for the privilege Ito operate in

money necessary to. build the road
was taken into consideration and IN
less the franchise was granted for 81

company proposes to issue would not

of these bolls, when taken up and ex-
amined, were found to contain guam
titles of bacteria-worms were also
found in some of them These facts
lead us to believe that the ordinary
agencies of decomposition destroy the,
anthraonose fungus when the bolls in
which the fungus is living, are bu-
ried in moist soil. II. T.
At the same time that these bolls
were buried, a number Of badly, dis:
eased stalks were pulled up and car
ried out to the edge of the field where
they have been~left unmolested since
last fall. Diseased bolls were taken I
from these stalks from time to time: !
and examined. The fungus is still:
alive in the diseased bolls on these
stalks. ~. ). 81. - e. i.
The cotton in the field from which l$
these bolls and stalks were collected;
last season were very badly diseased.
The stalk chopper was run over these
stalks as soon as the cotton had al all
been picked and the land was turned
about 10 inches deep. 1T was then har-.S
rowed and sown in crimson clover
The clover was plowed under early In
April and the land was planted again J:
in the same variety of cotton that was
used last year The seed for 4 this i 8 3
planting had been carefully selected
from a field where there was no an n
thracnose. This season, there was NO
anthracnose at all in this field.
These results, then, indicate that
fall plowing is going to be great help

things" There are many men and
women who would become exceeding
ly indignant were you to accuse them
of childishness in worldly things, but
who think, talk, and act like mere
babes in religious things. If childish
ness is recognized as being unmanly
in the affairs of men, then, certainly
it should be considered unmanly in
the greater affairs Of God: There are
many men and women today who do
not support their churches, and very
seldom darken their doors, who expect
others to pay all the bills they owe
God, do all the sewing, and praying,
yet, they must be fondled and coddled
as babies. When they get sick all the
Christians must run in to see them,
when in trouble all must sympathize'
and when they die they must have a
decent Christian burial. This IS un-
manly. Hence, the church has been

manly men than any other Institution

How to Locate Trees Infested by the
Z: Southern Pine Beetle.
E. T: Washington, d. c., Nov. 15.---Aecord-s
ing TO the expert on forest insects of
the bureau Of entomology, United
states department Of agriculture the
location of threes that are infested by
the Southern pine beetle is the hrst
; and one of the most important, things
to do before definite plans are made
for the active work of cutting the
trees. ..-@.' * q '..
Some of the essential things to ret
member are as follows: .
qa). The Southern pine beetle at
taeks the upper and middle portions
of the trunks of healthy trees.
~. A freshly attacked tree may
show pitch tubes on the trunk, red
dish boring dust around the base, or
there may be no external evidence OF
attack until the leaves begin to fade.
.lc).. BY the time the tops are faded
and the bark on the middle and upper
trunk is. dead the broods Of the beetles
are in an advanced stage Of develop
ment,. yet at the same time, the bark
on the lower third of the trunk may be
living and show no evidence of at
tack, or may be attacked by other
kinds Of insects which are not re-
.sponsible for the death Of trees.
(d). AS soon as the bark begins to
die or any part of the trunk, It is at
tackled by numerous other insects, IN
cluding the adults Of the sawyer
borers which do not attack healthy
trees.
(e}. BY the time the tops have
changed from pale green to greenlsh
brown, the broods of the Southern pine
beetle are nearly all developed to the
stage when they enter the outer bark
to transform to the adults.
(f. BY the time the tops have
changed to reddish hue, the hroods
have developed, and are emerging or
have emerged.
(g). During the warm months the
broods will develore and emerge from
tree within about 30 to 40 days after
it is attacked.
(h). Trees attacked in November will
usually carry the broods over winter.
The foliage of some trees will fade
ard reach the reddish stage before
spring; other trees attacked in De-
ce1nber or later may not fade until the
warm days of February March, or
April

ter and extent Of the infestation with
