can cotton boil weevil made All unu-

the last two years, due probably to
the high winds. At the close Of the
season last fall the insect had reached
the Savannah river and we may ex
pect an invasion of South Carolina

about three years from the date of. It's
first appearance until the pest reaches
its maximum numbers, which still
leaves good opportunity for South
Carolina to study and prepare for the
situation that Is to confront It. 1t Is
a mistake to regard the matter lightly
because it is absolutely certain that
the weevil Is coming and the climatic
conditions Of South Carolina are such
that probably greater efforts are re.
quired than in many localities in other
states to produce cotton crop under
weevil conditions. To produce cotton
after the weevil has become thorough

The crop becoming an uncertainty

earlier. We must begin the prepara-

ing after it is once planted.
Whether the weevil Is present or
not no farm can find an excuse for not
making a living for those who till 1t.
This is the first duty and requirement
of any farm. After the home supplies
have been produced cotton should re-
ceive serious consideration. Intelli-
gent fertilization is Of great impor.
tance but still greater Importance is
the maintenance Of the soil fertility
mainly by legume crops.
Not only cotton stalks but all other
stalks which are a part of the crop
refuse should be incorporated into the
soil In the fall and as far as possible
the land should be planted into an ef-
fective cover crop to enable the land
to hold its moisture, unused plant
food and to prevent washing. There
is no greater agency to produce cot
ton crop than water. This has been
demonstrated time and again in the
cotton belt since the beginning of the
weevil fight twenty-three years ago.
1t is important to make a cotton
crop and yet it Is more important to
maintain the health Of the community
and this matter has not been given
sufficient thought as can be plainly
seen by the humber Of flies we allow

Dreed In dark places. (C) Treat the
manure to kill the maggot and eggs.
Where 1t Is necessary to have the ma
nures exposed to flies, it may be
treated with borax, hellebore or Cal
ctum Cyanamid and Acid Phosphate
as follows:
BORAX. Powdered borax sprinklad
over the manure at the rate Of 2.3
pound to bushels of manure and 2
or 3 gallons Of water poured over the
borax-treated manure to wash tn, bo.
rax into the manure will kill, the mag
gots and keep the eggs from hatch
ing. The outer edges of the manure
pile should be carefully sprinkled as
this Is where the maggots congregate
for pupation.
Caution should be used in treating
manuros to be employed for agricul-
tural purposes, because Of the injun-
Gus action on the plant growth Of the
excessive applications Of the borax.
This is the least expensive method
where the manure Is not intended for
agricultural purposes.
1ELLEBORE. Powdered white
mixing one-half pound Of hellebore to
10 gallons Of water and sprinkled over
the manure gives good results in kill.
Ing ny maggots. This solution can be
made up In. large quantities and kent
until wanted for use. The best re.
suits have been obtained by allowing
the solution to stand a few hours be-
lore applying. The composition Of
the manure will not be materially
changed by using the hellebore. An.
lmals Will not be In danger when ma
nure 1s treated in the stables as the
poison is washed into the manure.
CALCIUM CYANAMID AND ACID
PHOSPHATE. This mixture NAV be
used at the rate Of four pounds CAL
cium Cyanamid, four pounds Acid
Phosphate to every eight bushels of
manure. The substances should be
mixed and spread over the manure
after which 1t is sprinkled with ten
gallons Of water. The addition OF
these materials to the manure In the
proportions given greatly increase the
value OF the manure for agricultural
! purposes by holding the amonia which
generally passes off as gas in the un-
treated material. This form Of nitro
ger, Is more slowly available as plant
food than the ordinary nitrates. It
should be applied to the crop not less
than seventy to eighty days before
harvest In order that the nitrogen may
be completely utilized by that crop.
NOTE. The Calcium Cyanamid
which is a medium for slow acting
fertilizers is handled by manufacture
ers Of mixed fertilizers.
MAGGOT TRAPS. This is a simple
method to kill the fly In maggot stage
full information can be had by writ
ing the Bureau Of Entomology, Wash
ington, D. G.
SCREEN THE PRIVY CLOSETS.
Have the closets provided with keg
or barrel Of air-slaked lime and use
