TOBACCO TOPICS
Some Timely Suggestions as to How
to Top and Care for the Weed

Clemson College, June 22.-Tobac-
CO under proper conditions grows very
repidly and soon forms seed-pods that
have to be pinched out. This is
called topping" AS uniform ma
turity is desired, it is we'll to allow
a large portion of the seed-buds to
form, perhaps now and then allowing
one to bloom, before commencing to
pinch them out Experience is the
only teacher in this case, says R. E.
Currin in Extension Bulletin 43, To-
bacco Culture in South Carolina.
Taking everything into consideration,
it is advisable to top "too high"
rather than "too low" In other
words, it is best to leave too many
leaves on the plant to mature than
too few. On ordinary land, with or
.dinary fertilization, from twelve to

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

Having decided to 60 to New York
and take a post graduate course in
embalming, I take this method OF in
forming my friends and the public
generally that l will be away for a
period of three or four weeks.
However, I have made arrangements
to have my business carried on dur
ing my absence. Parties desiring un-
dertaking services will have their
needs carefully looked after if they
will phone Mrs. P. S. Courtney, phone
81, or call at J. NJ. McGill & Co.'s. I
have made adequate arrangements to
have all embalming services properly
attended to also.
/ also wish to state that my reason
for taking this course is to better
equip myself to handle all cases en-
trusted to my care in the most mod
ern and satisfactory manner possible.

sixteen leaves may be left. On rich
er or more highly fertilized land,
more leaves should be left to mature.
After topping has commenced, it
should be continued until all of the
plants are topped; and, as the aim
of topping is to get the tobacco to
mature uniformly, the small, yellow
and tall plants should be topped
lower than the early and more Wig
orous ones.
AS soon as topping is begun,
suckers" will form in the axis of
the leaves. These suckers must not
be allowed to develop, and must be
pulled off a fast as they get large
enough, or else the tobacco plants
will be retarded in their full dewel-
opment of leaves. 1t is surprising
how fast these suckers will grow.
Generally from two to three suckers
will have to be removed from the
axil of each. Keep them off.
The Horn Worm
Reports from tobacco growers indi-
cate considerable trouble this season
from horn worms. The following
suggestions for control of these pests
is made by Mr.. Currin:
When the worms make their first
appearance, the tobacco is usually
small and they are easily poisoned
or if not too numerous may be picked
off by hand. The arsenical sprays or
powders are the best means for con-
trolling these pests. Without this
control measure very little tobacco
could be raised in South Carolina
Before the use of poisons became
general, fields of tobacco were entire
ly destroyed by these worms.
Arsenate of lead either as a spray
or in powdered form is considered
the best poison to use. Paris green
5 apt to burn the leaves if applied
too heavily in the dry form. Arsenate
of lead in the powdered form adheres
to the leaves better than does Paris
green in the same form. Usually,
one pound of either of these in dry
form is sufficient for one acre. If
used in the form of spray, one
pound to 40 or so gallons of water
may be used, if care is taken to keep
the solution we'll agitated. Spraying
apparatus and dry powder guns are
for sale in aR tobacco growing sec
tions. Use the control methods as
often as necessary. Special pains
must be taken to destroy the first
crop of worms, as by so doing much
trouble may be avoided in controlling
the second crop of worms. If the to-
bacco natures as it should, however,
most of it will be harvested before
the second crop of worms appears.

impressed upon all prospective visi-
tors. that they will be the guests OF

Especial attention is called to the
fact that horse racing will be a
marked feature of the celebration,
as this has always been; music will
not stop during the day, and an or
chestra will continue the music for

Farmer Boys and Girls Can Marry

Very few classes of people can in
dulge in the luxury of getting mar
ried these days with as little heslta-
ton as can the farmer lass and lad.
The high cost of living has scared
the city man. AS one woman said,
"The high cost of living for one
makes the high cost of loving for
two out of the question"
To show how splendidly these mar
riage troubles pass over the heads OF
the farmer boy wanting to take unto
himself a wife, consider those ar
ticles the cost af which have in
creased the most: Clothing 100 per
cent, food 80 per cent, fuel, light and
heat 81 per cent and shelter 2S per
cent.
We do not have to be dressed up
all the time as does the clerk or
teacher in town, so few store clothes
can last a long time. The price of
overalls would not break anyone
surely. AS to food, there is nothing
we have to buy but sugar, coffee, tea,
occasional fruit, -four or cereal and
few sundries: Fuel means effort
but not expense, while even a very
poor youth can. buy such kerosene as
the young man starting out is likely
to need.
Sundries have increased 63 per
cent, and sundries include furniture
and lamps. These are high. Most
girls in love are willing to get little
expensive furniture for few years
if the bridegroom shows disposition
to provide comforts and such conven-
fences as he can contrive.-The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

FROM AIR, new PLAN
Aviator to Swoop Down on Dice
Throwefs in Big Sunday Games
Ar0und Pittshurrh.

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 25-Crap games
where high stakes are played for each
Sunday will be spied out by an Of
ficial aviator OF the county detective
department. Annoyed at failure Of
officers to arrest crapshooters, the
county officials have engaged an
aviator to fly over the section where
the big games are run and swoop
down on the players.
Owing to the topography OF the
country in Penn township the game
sters, aided by lookouts, have been
able to Illustrate the police in their
attempts to break up the games. Look =
outs with powerful glasses soon
spread the alarm and the crapshooters
are mere picnickers when the detec-
tivcs reach the spot.
The roadway in the vicinity of the
big games is crowded every Sunday
with motor cars, whose owners come
from all sections of western Pennsyl-
vania to play. In yesterdays game
over $4,000 changed hands, accord
ing to one OF the bankers.
