MATERIAL FOR WEAVING PIGS
Concentrates That Are Rich in Muscle
and Bone Making Essentials
Are Necessary.
Clemson College Bulletin.)

Weaned pigs need good concentrates
that are rich in muscle and bone
making material to insure thrifty de-
velopment. Accustom them to their
feed gradually. as overlooking will
readily produce securing. From ten
to twelve days are essential in getting
young pigs adjusted to the change.
However, they should be fed lightly
at least three times daily during this
time.
The following rations are good for
young pigs: O Skim milk and wheat

grain Of some kind to two parts wheat
middlings or rice meal. Ground oats

These are the main points of the
formula set out in Farmers Bulletin
S4S. "The Boil Weevil Problem" by
which larger war crops of American
cotton can be grown without increas-
ing, and possibly by decreasing, the
present acreage in this crop.
Some of the measures are not new
in principle. They are old methods
which, modified and improved, have
stood the test of years. They represent
plain and practical farming methods,
and, although they may appear less at
tractive than many of the fantastical
panaceas which spring up from time
to time in cotton-growing sections,
they are sound and reliable. Individu-
ally, they are effective in checking the
ravages of the weevils and collective
-ly they offer a practical system which.
if followed carefully, will insure a
crop in spite of this pest. The system
may have to undergo slight modifica-
tons to meet local conditions. For
example, in some localities hand pick
ing Of weevils and infested squares
at times may prove profitable meas
ure.
Problem Of Control.
The case cannot be rested, however,
with the announcement of this anti
boil weevil system. The problem Of
boil weevil control becomes more seri-
GUS as the pest continues it's invasion
of the cotton belt. Eastern planters
must expect a more serious problem
than that which confronted the farm
ers of Texas, because the humid con-
ditions in the East are more favorable
to the life of the weevils. Better
means of control must be devised for
the region that is becoming invaded,
and, If possible, other means must be
developed to reduce the enormous loss
that is suffered, especially during I'M
favorable seasons in Texas. The princi-
pal work of the bureau of entomology
at this time is in attempting to devise
for this requisite additional con-
troll.
Much has been learned about the
habits of the boil weevil. Many SEEM

In this time of high cost of living, ev-

prevent waste and to help save food. No
one means can be more effective than a
vigorous campaign to exterminate rats
which destroy over two hundred million
dollars worth of foodstuffs annually. Keep

holes, and above all exterminate them
