HOW TO FUMIGATE
TO KILL WEEVILS S

Clemson College, S. c., Dec.-Car-
bon Bisulphide is probablythe best
material for the farmer to use in kill
ing weevils. 1t is colorless liquid,
which on exposure changes into gas
which is heavier than air, and with an
ordor very similar to spoiled eggs.
In handling this material, the same
care should be exercised as in hand
ling gasoline, as an explosion will re-
suit if fire is brought too near. To
fumigate a barrel of seed, a half tea
cup full of the liquid should be placed
on top of the corn in the barrel. Do
not pour it over the seed. Set the
cup containing the liquid on the seed,
and then cover the barrel with old
sacks with weights on top to hold
them in place. 1t is necessary that
the barrel be as near air tight as pos
sible in order that the gas will not es-
cape to soon, or begore there has e.
lapsed enough time for the weevils to
be killed. The gas is heavier than
air, and as soon as it forms, it settles
down in the bottom of he barrel, ,pene-
trating the whole pile Of corn or seed.
The barrel should remain cove; ed for
about forty-eight hours, after which
the covering may be removed, bat
not the wire sauze. All the weevils
will be killed and by examining the
,cSrn or seed from time to time other
applications can be made as weevils
aErsnr The Carbon Bisulphide can
be purchased in 1-pound cans from
most any drug stores. At present it
is retailing for about fifty cents per
pound, but this is of minor impor-
tance to that of loosing all the seed
after taking the trouble and time to
select them.
Don't Forget to Spray
Have you made your attack on the
San Jose scale yet? Remember that
this is just abou the worst enemy of
fruit trees in South CaroliLa, and

War Situation AS
New Year Begins

The dawn of 1917 finds the bellig-
erent armies temporarily, at least,
virtually deadlocked everywhere ex-
cept in Rumania. 1t finds also in
the air suggestion by the Teutonic
allies that they are ready to discuss
peace but no basis for the ending Of
hostilities has yet ben advanced bS
them and the entente allies have sig
nified their determination to continue
fighting until their oft-repeated de-
sires are complied with.
The war map in the main theatres
of the war at the commencement of
the new year shows at numerous
points material changes in the lines
as they stood year ago. On the
| front in France the Germans in the
Somme segion have been driven back
by the French over fronts Of con-
siderable size while the Germans in
the Verdun sector made notable gains
towards the fortress but later lost
a part of the terrain through a French
counterotfensive; the Italians have
}advanced their line on the east closer
toward Trieste and the entente allies
operating from Saloniki have placed
the Servians on their native soil again
and also have pushed forward their
lines at various points in Macedonia.
A great drive begun in June by the
Russian general Brussiloff from the
Pinsk marshes to the Carpathians was
successful in clearinb the Volhynian
fortress triangle of the Austro- Ger
mans and in the capture of much ter
rain in Galicia and Bokowina.
| Half of Rumania which entered
the war in August on the side Of en-
tente now is in the hands of the Teu-
tons. The sweep Of the Russians
through the Caucasus region and
Turkish Armenia has compelled the
Turks to yield much territory while
in the south the British in their ad-
vance toward Bagdad have been fore
ed to give up their strategic base at
Kut-ei Amara and are being held to
a virtual standstill by the Ottoman
forces. Aside from Roumania there
is little activity on any of the fronts
except by the artillery
