Clemson College. 9. C.-The Mexi-
can cotton boil weevil made an unu-
sual advance across Georgia during
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
during 1917. Ordinarily it requires
about three years from the date Of its
first appearance until the pest reaches
its maximum numbers, which still
leaves a good opportunity for South
Carolina to study and prepare for the
situation that is to confront it. 1t is
mistake to regard the matter lightly
because 1t is absolutely certain that
the weevil is coming and Abe climatic
conditions OF South Carolina are such
that probably greater efforts are re-
quired than in many localities in other
states to produce a cotton crop under
weevil conditions. To produce cotton
after the weevil has become thorough
ly established requires the best farm
ing of one kind or another.
The crop becoming an uncertainty
under wecvil conditions must be made
earlier. We must begin the prepara-
tion OF our seed bed in the fall; we
must study the best early varieties Of
cotton best adapted to the locality and

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 it.
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 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 it's moisture, unused plant
food and to prevent washing. There
is no greater agency to produce a 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 cotton
crop and y"' 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 number OF flies we allow
the right OF way every day.
Flies are best controlled by caring
for manurcs. the places where they
breed. (a) Haul out and spread the
manure once a week. (b) Store the

manure to kill the maggot and eggs
Where it is necessary to have the ma
nures exposed to flies. it may bu
treated with borax, hellebore or Cal
cfum Cyanamid and Acid Phosphate
as follows:
BORAX. Powdered borax sprinkIed
over the manure at the rate of o.
pound to 8 bushels of manure and .
or 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
manures to be employed for lgricul-
tural purposes, because of the injuri-
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.

the manure will not be materially
changed by using the hellebore. An

nure is treated in the stables as the
poison is washed into the manure.
CALCIUM CYANAMID AND ACID
PHOSPHATE. This mixture may 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 o!
these materials to the manure i'm the
proportions given greatly increase the
value OF the manure for agricultural
I purposes by holding the amonia which
generally passes off as gas in the un-
treated material. This form of nitro
gen is more slowly available as plant
food than the ordinary nitrates. 1t
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.

L VALUE OF CRIMSON GLOVER AS

L VALUE OF CRIMSON GLOVER AS
A CLOVER CROP:
Crimson clover is no doubt the
best winter leguminOus crop to
plant in the orchard. as well as on
the farm. The acreage in Grim
son clover In South Carolina is
its great value as a soil builder
'n is fast becoming appreciated.
II. TIME TO PLANT:
Crimson clover may be planted
from August 18th to November
18th, but best results will be OBJ
tanned from seed sown between
September 18th and October 18TH
III. AMOUNT OF SEED TO SOW
PER ACRE
Twelve pounds of cleaned seed,
or twenty-four pounds of seed IN
the bur, per acre will give good
seeding. When sown as late as
October 18th, | would advise SOW
Ing fifteen pounds of cleaned scaI.
or thirty pounds OF seed in the
bur.
w. COST OF SEED PER ACRE:
The price of crimson clover
seed was very high during the
past season, due to the increased
demand for iced, and to the cut
ting off of practically all importa-
= tion OF clover seed from Europe.
Even at the high price of $500
per bushel, the cost OF seed for
one acre Of crimson clover is only
$16O.
v. SAVE YOUR OWN SEED AND
SOME TO SELL YOUR NEIGH
BOR
Four hundred and fifty pounds
OF crimson clover seed in the bur
may be harested per acre, which
will be sufficient to SOW fourteen
acres. If the seed are sold at
seven cents per pound (the price
last falD, this would give gross
return OF $31.50 for the seed per
acre.
vi. COST OF SAVING SEED:
Three men and one mule with
home made seed harvester like
the one shown in tho accompany
Ing illustration can harvest from
one to two acres OF crimson clover
seed per day.
VII. COST OF HOME MADE HAIR

total cost OF this machine. inclul-
Ing labor was $3.50. 1t was made
from scrap material picked up
about the farm.
VIII. STORING OF SEED:
The seed must be dry when
gathered. otherwise they will not
strip from the stems easily. The

seed are removed from the har.
Neatar and Immediately placed in
oat sacks. They should then be
summed for a few days until the
seed have thoroughly dried, and
then stored in the barn. A good
plan is to suspend the bags FROM
the ceiling. This viii get them
out OF The waT. and give free
circulation of air about the seed,
which will prevent any possibility
OF their moulding.
X. a SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE
WAY OF INOCULATING SEED:
Where clover has not previous.
ly grown, it is necessary to ino.
culate the seed before sowing. Sc
cure a bushel of soil from land
whcEe crimson clover has been
grown successfully, ana place it
in water-tight barrel. Then adj
about thirty gallons OF water, and
stir thoroughly. The seed are
then placed in an oat sack and
plunged several times into the
water until they are thoroughly
wet. Remove the seed from the
sack, spread them out on clean
floor, and allow them to dry in
the shade for about two hours
The seed are then sown and the
land narrowed immediately. i
would advise sowing the seed on
freshly narrowed land late in the
afternoon. or on cloudy day.
:. HAIRY NETCH AND CLOVER:
Hairy vetch and crimson clover
sown together made an ideal COW
er crop. Fig. II. shows field

7. WHEN TO TURN UNDER:
II is necessary 70 turn under
clover when the soil is in good
condition. regardless OF the stage
of the clover at the time. would
advise turning under the clover
as soon after blooming as soil
conditions will permit retaining
sufficient acreage for seed pur.
