FIGHTING THE HOUSE FLY.
Use Of Fly Trap, Screens and Spray
Against Dangerous Pest.
By A. f. Conrad, State Entomologist
and Head of chronological Diyi-
sion, Clemson College.

The house fly breeds mainly in moist
horse and SOW manure and privy
closets. Unlike the stable fly it can
not bite. Before thunderstorms and
on sultry days the stable fly molests
man with it's bites and this leads to
the conclusion that the
house fly bites.
The eggs of the house fly are laid on
the and hatch the same day.
In five days the maggot transforms to
the pupa or resting stage and in ten
days from the time the egg is laid the
full grown insect appears. It's first
impulse is to find something to eat,
and with the fresh filth of its putre-
factive breeding place covering every
part of its body, it goes to the kitchen
where it samples the meat, battles in
the milk, trails over the butter, ticks
up the jelly, crawls over the baby's
face and hands and then goes back to
the n pile to lay eggs and return
to the house for more food.
Besides a general carrier of disease
and filth, the house fly is known to
carry several of our most dangerous
diseases.
The campaign against the fly should
begin at the breeding ground.
Use the fly trap judiciously about
the barns, privy closets. kitchen door,
hog pens and other breeding places.
Circular % of Clemson College gives
directions for making traps and one
trap is in the hands of each of the
county demonstration agents where
it can be examined.
Avoid filth or any other fly-attract-
ing material about the premises, such
as garbage or Stops. Garbage and
kitchen refuse should be kept in
tightly covered vessels. Never throw
it on the ground. 1t is sure to attract
flies.
Scrcen privy closets. Have every
closet provided with Il keg or barrel
of air slaked lime and use freely to
dry up the closet material.
Screen the house.
Manure is valuable. If removed
from stalls at a time hen it cannot
be Immediately sprea' on the field it
should be stored in a definite place,
preferably in a compost shed or pit.

Red Crowder, Early Bullock, Black
Bunch, Calvin and Clay, Calico,

1876 bushels Of seed per acre with the
Whippoorwill. Probably the best all

GROWING COWPEKS THE SOUTH'S
WONDERFUL LEGUMINOUS CROP

BY J. n. Harper, Director, S. c. Elk
pertinent Station.
The cowpea is the best leguminous
crop for the South. 1t produces hay
fully equal to red clover. 1t resists
drouth and a stand is easily secured.
1t is we'll adapted to nearly every type
of soil in the South, and has few dis
eases and insect pests, n is a Won
derful soil improver, as it not only
adds large amounts Of nitrogen to
the soil, but also puts the soil in the
best physical condition. This crop
has been grown for a great lumber of
portance to Southern agriculture has
not yet been fully realized.
The seed can either be sown broad
cast or in rows. If wanted for seed,
they should be planted in rows three
feet apart and cultivated. When
sown broadcast no cultivation is re-
quired. However, more seed must be
used. The cowpea should not be
planted in the spring until the ground
is thoroughly warm and all danger
of frost is passed. While the cowpea
plant is we'll adapted to all kinds of
soils, it is best suited to a warm,
sandy soil. The hay from cowpeas is
fully equal to that of red clover and
the best varieties for hay purposes
are the Unknown, Wonderful, Iron
Clay, W~hippoorwill, Red Ripper. Red
Crowder, Calico and the New Era.

causes wilt should be sown to the

able from other sources. At the last
meeting Of the General Assembly,
$780, 900 was appropriated for cooper
ating with the U. S. Bureau Of Animal
Industry in the work Of tick eradica-
ton in South Carolina, this sum to
be expended through Clemson Col
lege. Shortly after this appropriation
was received, arrangements were
made to place tick eradication under
an inspector who could devote his en-
tire time to this work. Tick eradica-
ton is now being rapidly pushed into
all tick infested counties Of this State.

FREEING THE STATE
OF THE CATTLE TICK.
By DR.. NJ. Ray Powers, State Veter-
marian and Head of Veterinary
Division, Clemson College.

In July, 1907, the Veterinary Divi-
sion of Clemson College, in cooper
alton with the u. S. Bureau of Animal
Industry, commenced tick eradication
work in Oconee, Pickens, Greenville
and Anderson Counties. Since that
late this work has been gradually and
Systematically extended until fourteen
counties are now free from ticks n
released from Federal Quarantine.
Systematic work has also been III
progress in six other counties for the
past year, and these should be in con-
dition for release this fall.
Prior to 1914 the expense Of tick
eradication work was borne by Glenn
sen College and the U. S. Bureau of
Animal Industry. With the exception
of about $500 (received from citizens
of these countiesl no funds were avail

roots, it requires little ammonia in the
fertilizer.
When intended for hay, cowpeas
should be planted broadcast with
some other forage crop. German
millet and sorghum are probably the
best crops for this purpose. This sta
ton has obtained as much as seven
tons of we'll cured hay from sorghum
and peas, two and one-half IONS from
peas and crab grass, and three and
one-quarter tons from peas and mil
let.
The most valuable part of the pea
plant is the leaves, and the hay
should be cured in such a ann
that the largest amount of leaves pos
sible should be retained with the hay.
For that reason the pea should not
remain long in the swath, but as soon
as the leaves are dry sufficiently, the
hay should be raked in windows for
a day or so, then it should be dried
out in cocks. A splendid way to cure
coWpea hay is to take it from the
Windrow and stack it on a pole about
six feet long. driven in the ground
with crossarms nailed horizontally,
the lowest being about eight inches
from the ground.
The practical place of the cowpea
in rotation is after small grain. AS
soon as oats or wheat are cut, the
land should be disked and planted in
peas, own broadcast, from four to
slX pecks per acre. This crop of peas
will shade the ground and improve
the physical condition Of the soil, will
add nitrogen to the soil and prepare
the land for the succeeding grain
crop.
AS cowpea hay is a most valuable
food, it should always be cut for hay.
However, if the object is to improve
the land the pea vines can be turned
under. II the succeeding crop, how
ever, is to be a small grain, it is bet
ter to cut the vines off as the pea
vines will form a kind of mulch which
will make the soil very loose and pre-
vent the proper rise Of capillary
moisture to the small grain. Small
grain prefers a compact soil rather
than a loose, porous soil.
1t always pays to plant cowpeas in
corn at the last blowing. II an early
maturing variety is planted at this
time, such as the W~hippoorwill, New
Era, or Taylor, the seed obtained will
far offset the expense and trouble OF
planting, and the peas growing in the
corn, instead Of hindering the growth
Of corn, will increase the yield
slightly, and will put the and in bet
ter condition for the succeeding grain
crop. Small one-horse drills now be-
ing manufactured for the purpose of
drilling cowpeas in corn do the work
better than it can be done by hand.
1t always pays to plant a patch of
peas mixed with soy beans as a hog
grazing crop. No machine has yet
been manufactured that will satisfac-
torily pick peas. The thrashing,
however, can be accomplished by a
pea huller. which is far less eXpen-
sive than t%hrashing out with fail.
In the sandy soils of the Coastal
Plain, the wilt disease and roo knot
disease is widely disseminated. No
method has yet been found for COM
batting these diseases, excepting the
rotation of crops and the planting Of
wilt resistant cotton and the Iron
cowpea, which resists the wilt and
the root knot. Stored cowpeas should
always be treated with carbon bisul-
phide to keep away weeVils.

in-law, Thos. G. Clemson. The answer
is thai nowhere does it appear in the
records hat Mr.. Calhoun ever wished
or planned the erection of an indus
trial and technical college on the old
homestead. The complete story of
Mr.. Clemson's part in the founding of
the college is toe long to be told here.
A Vast Plant.
The college tract contains owe 1900
acres. On the property, there are %
principal public buildings, 70 dwell
ings and ca minor buildings. The col
lege has in it's employ 401 teachers,
officers and laborers. Its inventoried
property is 81, 327,72S.57. The Off
GERS of the college send out yearly
over $4,000 letters and over 435,0OO
other pieces Of mail matter, most of
which give agricultural information.
In addition to the parent station,
the college maintains two branch ex-
pertinent stations-one a Summer
Vile and the other at Florence. One
more to be situated in the sand hill
section of the State, just as soon as
funds will permit, will complete a
system representing the principal soil
types of the State.
The enrolment has grown from 446
students in 1898 to S34. Originally
there were but two courses of study
now there are IL. In addition to
these regular degree courses, there is
a four weeks curse for farmers and
a one-session practical agricultural
course extending from October 1 to
June l for men over IS.
The college maintains 1913 four
year scholarships and 81 one-year
scholarships, the cost of which,
amounting to nearly $4,000, is paid
out of the receipts from the fertilizer
tag tax.

A Storied Spot.
Clemson College is a unique blend
ing of the old and the new, Of the his
toric with the now. Just across the
road from the cadet dormitories,
which every session house over 500
young men, and in sight of the new
electric power station that day or
night beats as the industrial heart of
the community, is the white columned
mansion of the illustrious John c. CAL
houn. One can almost picture the
great statesman, as with and be-
hind him he PAGES the avenues of
cedar and oak, putting into form those
matchless ideals Of patriotism whose
fulfllment he never lived to see.
About SO yards to the rear of the
mansion is a queer little one-story
room structure with columned porch
to match the mansion. This was the
study of the great statesman, and
here were written many Of his great
orations. Under this little study,
which is about 20 feet square, is dug
a deep pit in which ice cut in winter
was stored for summer use. How the
seasons must have changed, for only
during one or two winters Of the 20
which the writer has spent in the up
country has ice formed in sufficient
thickness to justify such ample stor-
age.
In the old mansion are many his
toric relics, including a chair used by
Gen. George Washington, and a seven
foot mohair-covered lounge on the
back Of which is carved the American
eagle. 1t is said that the engraving
on our coins was copied from this
carving.
