BUMPER DANDELION
CROP THIS SEASON

"Dandelions and what to do with
Them" is one of the main topics Of
discussion among property owners in
Grand Forks, for the weeds have
grown so plentiful this season that
they have become a yellow peril
peril to the beauty of lawns and
berms.
Agriculturalists declare that chemi-
cal means Of Graduating the dandelion
seldom prove satisfactory. Iron sui
phat has been recommended and used
to some extent but this chemical on
ly kills the plant to the surface Of the
ground and does not reach the root.
The most reliable method Of getting
rid of the weed is the use of an ex-
tractor which can be secured at hard
ware stores. This implement removes
roots and all.
The weed is of no particular eco
nomic importance, as it seldom grows
to e extent in cultivated fields, pre-
ferring land that is sown to grass
each year and not cultivated, how
eve the weed is the mote in the eye
of the man who takes a pride in his
lawn. The old case knife or the me-
chanicl extra ctor is the only reliable
means Of Kidding the lawn Of this yell
low peril.

Willard Explains H0w to
Rid Fields and Gardens
Of PeStiferOus Cut Worms

or below the surface of the ground.
Late t.he worms feed on the leaves
and upper stems also.
Control the Varmint.
The best method yet devised to get
rid of cut worms, according to the
county, is to use poison bran which is
as follows: Thoroughly mix
into fifty pounds of bran. two pounds
of paris green and six finely chopped
or pulverized lemons or oranges and
add to this enough cheap molasses
and water to make a stiff dough.
The poison dough prepared as di-
rected should be scattered sparingly
in small Jumps around the bases of
the plants and over the entire fields
that are being attacked by cut worms.
Grass land is most likely to be in
.fected, and If this land is intended to
be put under cultivation the land
should be plowed the proceeding sum
.mer in order to get rid of the grass
on which the worms breed.
The worms prefer the poison bran
bait to practically all plants. They
generally die in hiding and the dead
ones are not generally seen.
Care should be taken not to let
poultry or other stock get the poison
bait. is the warning given in the use
of the bait.

Cutworms are commencing early
their ravages on the plant life in
Grand Forks and throughout the
county according to numerous reports.
Farmers Of many sections declare
that the cutworms are more active
this year than they have been for sew
eral years. Rex E. Willard. county
agent, granted an interview this after
noon which gives an inside view of
some of the more intimate phases Of
the cutworm's home life and habits
and offers what is considered the best
j method of controlling the pests.
Yc Home Life.
The facts are given briefly as fol-
lows: Cutworms are the young of a
number of different kinds of moths
, and about midsummer the full grown
worm burrows into the. ground and
there transforms into a moth. The
meth lays eggs on the leaves Of
plants and the young worm which de-
velopes feeds on grass and other vege-
tation. During the fall. and in the win
ter the pest burrow into the ground
for protection.
In the spring the worms come out
and attack plants at the surface of
the ground, generally feeding at night,
cutting through the stems Of plants at

HONOR.

Nothing matters only this:
That the fight you made was fair.
Goals Of glory you may miss
Honors you may fail to wear,
But if you have done your best
You have met the real test.
Not in victory alone
Is the worth of mortals told,
God has never made it known
That he ent us here for gold.
We must dare for what is right
But we need not win the fight.
Nothing matters save that we
Shall not sell our souls for gain;
Shall not, for the victory
On u honor place a stain;
Better is it not to win
Than to triumph, black with sin.

If your~battle has been just n
You have conquered in His eyes.
You shall rest in peace at night
If you've made an honest fight.

FINE VIRGINIA PIGS
To Be Offered For Sale At Public
Auction December 3
nouncennent

While in Kingstree Monday the
Hon. J. ]. NJ. Graham, of Cades, call
ed at The Record office to advertise
the sale of fine lot of Poland China
and Duroc Jersey pigs, he purchased
a few days ago in Virginia. In con-
versation with Mr.. Graham concern
ing the pigs the editor was pleased
to learn that he had purchased them
in Rockbridge county, near where he
first saw the light of day some "few'
years ago, and when he mentioned the
name of William G. Houston, of Fair
field it was plain to US that he had
purchased those pigs from one of
very best men to be found in the Old
Dominion, a member of Rock
bridge family, the name of which
every son is proud. Mr.. Graham's
knowledge of hogs is recognized here
as valuable, and he informs us that
the lot he bought from Mr.. Houston
are of the finest type, and that they
are guaranteed by him to be pure
bred, registered stock. From our
knowledge of Mr.. Houston we don't
think Mr.. Graham could have gone
wrong in nuying rom him inasmuch
as he is anxious to see this county
stock with the best there is to be
had in hogs.

Tobacco growing has been largely
confined to Darlington, Marion Flor
ence, Dillon, Clarendon, Sumter and
Williamsburg. But with the invasion
of the boil weevil imminent in
large portion of South Carolina, The
tobacco growing area will likely be
largely extended. The annual report
of the state department Of agricul-
ture for 1918 gives the following syn
opsis of the history of tobacco grow
ing in South Carolina.
"The department, under the law,
began to keep records of the, tobacco
crop in 1909. That year very nearly
28,OOO,0OO pounds of tobacco were
raised, but the price was low, and it
brought but little over Two and
quarter million dollars. The two fol-
lowing years the crop decreased very
considerably in both volume and in
amount of money produced. Then for
four years consecutively the volume
of the crop steadily increased, until
the maximum was reached in 1914,
the year the war broke out. The pre-
ceding year smaller crop had sold
at 1877 cents per pound, bringing to
the farmers S4,584,000 the greatest
amount ever received from the tobac-
co crop in this state. In 1914 the
prices fell, and in 1915, while people
still planted tobacco and raised a big
crop, the amount received from it
was only s2,765,372, the price having
ing fallen to the lowest figure record
ed since 1909, TOP cents per pound
"The 1915 tobacco crop very near
ly discouraged the planting in this
state. The average price had dropped
from about II cents to 7.28 and in
1916 the acreage was cut nearly half.
There was considerable increase in
price in that year and there was an
anomalous situation. The number Of
pounds sold in 1916 was 17,844,000
pounds short of the scales in 1915 and
yet the grosss receipts amounted to
an increase of $52,500 over 1915.
Tobacco has been a wonderful
crop for some counties in South Car
olina, for it is a cash crop and is
harvested between spring grain and
truck and cotton, thus bringing money
into circulation in the summer
months.-Exchange.

Organize Clubs For Next Year,

1t is time to begin organizing our
clubs for next year and as there will
be only one agent in the county it
will be impossible to have as many
clubs as we have had, however, am
hoping that great many of our reg
ular clubs will reorganize. | want
each one to be thinking about this so
that we can reorganize and elect. Of
fcers at the next meeting.
| want the ladies or girls, of any
community who would like to have a
club, to get the list of names and
send to me right away as | want to
give these clubs the first considera-
tion.
Then for those who are not club
members, if there is problem that
| can help you with or some litera-
ture that you would like to have
don't hesitate to call on me for it
would be impossible for me to know
your needs at the right time.
We have had some splendid reports
from our club girls and l feel sure
that there are some others that are
just as good that have not been sent
in. We expect to publish the names
of those making the best records soon
but we want to be sure that all of
the best ones are sent in before we
do this.
Let US begin planning now for the
best years work that we have ever
had.
