Poultry Suggestions

The late summer months are trying
on poultry. Those who recognize this
and provide comfortable places for
their fowls and feed them properly
will be rewarded sooner or later. Els
pecially should there be shade, water
and green feed these hot days.
Those who have one or more roost-
ers "eating their heads off" should
consider ~disposing of them. Where
one has a very fine bird, n that
would be very hard to replace it
might be desirable to carry him over
till the breeding season. But this is
very expensive since feed is high. Be-
sides, housing space is worth some
thing during winter. 1t is believed
that most poultry raisers could well
afford to dispose of their male birds
and buy young birds to begin with
next spring.
Green feed is likely to be very hard
to provide since the weather is quite
dry and hot in most localities. But
plans should be made to grow wheat
rye, oats, barley or emmer as soon as

Mexican Cotton Boil Weevil

age.

Clemson College, Sept. 5.-The
Mexican cotton boil weevil has begun
seasonal migration and at this writ
ing it is distributed over practically
all of Jasper county and half Of
Beaufort county.
The weevil entered Beaufort u
ty some time last year, and owing to
the comparatively more favorable
conditions for wintering, the pest did
not receive a serious back set last
winter.
The present infestation in this
State is the result of a continued
eastward movement from year to
year, and this invasion has been pre-
dicted, although the time of the first
appearance could not be definitely
forecast. Part of Beaufort county IS

injury the first year it appears. The
second year the injury is usually no
ticeable, while the third year enables
the weevil to get its full momentum;
and people who were convinced in
their own minds that the weevil
would not reach them OF that it
would not do any serious damage,
will change their minds.
The weevil is firmly established IN
the State. 1t is spreading.
From the conditions in the south
ern part of the State, in the light of
the experience further west planters
must expect serious weevil damage.
1t will be a repetition of what has
occurred in other States and southern
South Carolina has no advantage in
climate or soil that will make the
sitution less serious.

,r Manufacture Ends in
SNnf
December.

Washington, Sept. e. Manufac-
ture Of beer in the United States Will
be prohibited after next December l
as q war measure.
This announcement was made to-
night by the food administration,
which said that the decision had been
reached at conference between Pres
ident Wilson and representatives OF
the fuel, food and railroad admins
trations and the war industries board.
Factors which influenced the deci-
sion to prohibit the manufacture OF
beer after December l, the food ad-
ministration announcement said, the
further necessity of wal industries
for the whole fuel productive caDa-
city OF the country, the considerable
drought which has materially affect
ed the supply of feeding stuff for
next year, the strain upon transporta-
tion to handle necessary industries
and the shortage of labor caused by
enlargement of the army program.
Warr*-~ also was issued to manu-
factur-rs Of all beverages and min
eral waters that for the same reasons
there will be further curtailment'
in fuel for the manufacture ct glass
containers, of the plate for caps, Of
transportation and food products IN
such beverages"
Under national prohibition legisla-
ton passed by the senate today and
sent to the house which enScted SIM
liar legislation last May, manufacture
of beer and wine would be prohibited
'after next May l. Today's order will
move up five months the time for
discontinuance of the manufacture
of beer, although the breweries may
be allowed to resume operations be-
tween that date and the effective OPP
Grafton of the dry legislation" II
finally enacted, since today's orders
were until further orders"
The manufacture Of whiskey was
prohibited last year and there has
been increased demand in ~cc-~ress
that the president exercise L. war
time power to stop the mar + .cture
of beer as a food conservat meas
ure. The. house last May, il lopting
the emergency agricultural & propria-
ton bill, attacked a rider which pro-
vided that none of the funds provided
by the measure should be used until
the manufacture of beer was discon-
tinued.

will be worth much to the flock when

Fowls get tired Of one kind of food.
Even the best Of grain will not salts

a change just as people crave a
change of diet. You will find it profit
able to change the poultry feed oc-
casionally.
Fresh air and clean roosting hous-

er. Don't make the mistake of crowd
ing fowls, young birds or hens. You
will surely pay the penalty in sick
fowls and parasites if you do. Build
ing materials are cheaper than the
loss of expensive fowls. It will pay
to provide roomy houses for the
birds.
The old hens likely will disappoint
you. They are likely to eat and grow
fat at the expense of egg production.
Such hens are usually more profitable
on porkless and beefless days, served
on the table. Such non-producers are
seldom worth carrying through the
winter, especially on expensive feeds.
It pays to clean out the roosting'
house very often, at least nee a
week. 1t will take but a sholt time to
do this but it will go a long way
toward reducing parasites and dis
ease germs. Use a good spray-there

Late Efforts Fail.

Eleventh hour efforts to extend the
time for manufacture of beer and
wine and disposal of stocks of intoX-
icating beverages proved futile, the
senate rejecting without a roll call
an amendment by Senior Phelan OF
California to make the provision eff
fective December 80, 1919.
The senate also defeated an effort
.oward federal payment for stocks
of distilled spirits remaining unsold

men for wine Observation-Disclosures it
will ruin many interests by not giving
them enough time to close up their
affairs.
Prohibition leaders say that de-
mobilization of troops may require
one or two years after the war con-
tinuing operation of law certainly un-
til after the spring of 1920 after
which they confidently expect the
national constitutional amendment
for prohibition will have been ratl-
fled by the States.
To avoid delaying action on the
prohibition measure Senator Gore
late today withdrew his amendment
proposing increase in the government

to S2.54 per bushel.
