BOIL WEEVIL NEWS AND VIEWS

Clemson College, October 2G.--
During the last two weeks no boil
weevil maps have been issued by the
South Carolina Crop Pest Commits
sion owing to the fact that the line
would not have been good after
hours. Requests for
maps, therefore, have been answered
by sending to those correspondents
the various points IN the state
through which the weevil line passes
according to the last telegraphic re-
port from the inspector.
There is no reason why this un-
usual advance Of the weevil should
cause undue alarm on the part Of the
people in the territory covered No
predictions could be made at this
time as to exactly what will happen
next year. According to the records
of the past, there is every reason to
believe that no serious damage need
be expected through the central por-
ton of the state and northward next
year. Furthermore, we do not know
what kind of winter is before US. The
weevil may yet receive a severe back
set before next spring.
That the weevil is with us and
has come to stay there is no doubt. 1t
may receive q, backset or two, but we
must remember that we are face to
face with the problem. Farmers are

urged to proceed with no reliance in
the poisoning method for next year,
because this method has not been suf-
ficiently perfected at this time for our
planters to rely on it during the next
cotton season. We have great conf
dence in the development of the boil
wcevil poisoning along the lines now
in progress. but it will require a seas
on o.. two to develop satisfactory dust
guns. practical under all conditions,
and also to determine a practical pro-
gram to meet the varying require
ments on the different plantations
throughout the state. Regardless Of
poisoning, the diversification so long
advocated and now in progress will
continue as 4 logical and inevitable
result of the conditions.

THE BEST VARIETIES
OF WHEAT AND OATS
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA

Clemson College, October 20
Almost every day letters are re-
ceived from farmers throughout the
state asking what variety Of wheat
or oats should be planted il a Ger
tain section. This is & very hard
question to answer, says the Agro-
nony Division, because OF the fact
that one variety may yield the high
est one year and other variety the
next. However. the South Carolina
Agricultural Experiment Station has
found that some varieties give good
yields nearly every year while others
give poor yields as a general average.
AS a result of the wheat variety
test that has been conducted at Glenn
son College for the last seven years,
the Agronomy Division of the Expert
ment Station recommends Deitz"
Mediterranean, Fulcaster, and Boggs
as among the best varieties Of wheat
adapted to our conditions. As a re-
silt of the oat variety test which has
been conducted for. five years, Full
grun, Bancroft, and Appler have
been found to produce the best yields.

BISCUIT OF ANCIENT ORIGIN

The biscuit is in reality the oldest
form of bread. Nobody knows when
the process of fermentation was m
troduced in baking, but it is certain
that the making Of simple cakes with
flour and water and without yeast

est antiquity, for such biscuits nave

The Greeks and Romans had advance
ed from the primitive form Of bread,
but they baked biscuits for special oc-
casions. for use in military campaigns
and on voyages The Romans called
this form Of bread ''panis nauticus
while the Greeks used for it a term
meaning bread twice put into the
fire The word biscuit means, Of
course, twice baked. but the ancient
practice of a double baking has long
been abandoned.

Wealthy Chinese Has Novel Trip

some of the ancients when a promi-

But in the territory of the China
American Trading Company, Ford
dealers in Tientsin, China, they have
discovered a much better aid to the
deceased over the rough places on the
trip to the Promised Land.
It is &, custom Of the Chinese to
burn various kinds of efhgies at the
funeral ceremonies Of the rich, the
more wealthy the departed the more
elaborate the figures burned over his
