To Our County Farmers.

The long looked for boil weevil
is here and is expected to do much
damage to our cotton crops this year.
Let's beat him. Some of our leading
farmers have made the beginning.
They are going to plant from four
to six acres of peanuts to the plow
this year-a grand move. These
peanuts properly harvested and
threshed on peanut threshers in the
various communities, a home market
can be easily had. The oil mills in
Bamberg and Denmark are to put in
peanut crushing machinery and will
buy all they can get
Many of the farmers are to plant
a couple of acres of tobacco to the
plow this year. This is a great boil
weevil beater. A large portion of
the soil in our county is splendid for
tobacco growing. w. E. Spann of
Bamberg means business. In going
to Bamberg on the lower road, I saw
on Mr.. Spann's place eight tobacco
barns, all lined up to help beat the
boil weevil Tobacco will help bring
about the desired result if it is well
worked, kept clean of weeds and
grass, kept free from worms and we'll
cured.
I kept straight to Bamberg that
same morning, before reaching the
town | saw an airplane sail around
and go down out from the town some
distance. l had never been close to
an airplane and I did not stop in
town. I rushed OFT near the place,
hitched and just before reaching the
plane, w. P. Sandifer, of Denmark,
and J. A. J. Rice, of Bamberg, two
old friends, met. AIr. Rice said to
Mr.. Sandifer, "Say, w. P, what dc
you reckon? In coming out here
awhile ago, passed pile of lumber
that is to be used for building to-
bacco house. saw large boil wee
vii with his square working from one
piece to the other What doing,
Rice?' Getting the dimensions OF
the building and seeing whether
there was enough lumber there to
build a barn large enough to beat
him." did you catch him, Rice?"
said Mr.. Sandifer. Eyes" What
did you do with him." 81 let him
co. The secret here seems to be,
to not let the tobacco barn lumber
lay too long.

To Appoint Farm DemOnstrator.

Henry S. Johnson, of Aiken, dis
trict agent of the farm demonstration
work, spent a day in Bamberg' last
week. Mr.. Johnson stated that a
farm demonstration agent will be ap-
pointed for Bamberg within the next
week or two, to succeed George R.
Briggs, who resigned the first of the
year, and who is now agent in Oconee
county
Mr.: Johnson says that he has in
mind the appointment of an agent
from the boil weevil section of Geor-
gia, and in fact this gentleman has
been in Bamberg himself to look
over the field. Mr.. Johnson feels
that it will be especially beneficial
to Bamberg county to have an agent
from the boil weevil section, in view
of the fact that the weevil is ex
pected to be widespread throu ghout
this county this season.
Provision was made at the last ses-
sion of the legislature in the county
supply bill to continue this work in
Bamberg county, and Mr.. johnson is
very anxious to make the appoint
ment as soon as possible in order
that the agent may be in position to
be of value to the farmers during the
coming cotton season.

MRS W. r.. ROACH.
Former Resident of County Died in
Augusta Last Monday.

Mrs. Nell Roach, a former resident
of Bamberg county, died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Rice, on
Wrightsvlle Road in Augusta at
about one o'clock Monday morning.
The remains we're brought to
Bamberg Tuesday morning on
the nine o'clock train. and were
carried to Springtown Baptist church
for interment Tuesday afternoon at
1:30 o'clock.
Mrs. Roach resided in this county
until some twenty years ago when
she removed to Charleston. where
she has lived since then until about
one year ago when she moved to Au-
gusta, making her home with her
daughter there. She was the
relict of the late DR.. William
Fishburne Roach, who practiced
medicine in this county long years
ago and who died perhaps forty years
ago. He is remembered by some of
the older citizens of Bamberg.
She was about so years Of age,
and is survived by three children:
Mrs. O. ]. Bond and Miss Florence
Roach, of Charleston, and Mrs. James
Rice, of Augusta. Mrs. Roach was
a member of the Episcopal church in
Charleston, and the funeral services
were conducted by the Rev. Mr..
Thomas, an Episcopal rector of that
city.

SHORT LOCALS.
Brief Items of Interest Throughout
the Town and County.

Considerable progress is being
made in the construction Of the addl-
ton to the cotton mill. The work is
being done by the contracting firm of
Potter & Shackleford.
B. F. Free has about completed
the erection of a two-story brick
building on Railroad avenue, and
also a galvanized metal building. 1t
is understood that all of the stores
have been rented and will be occu-
pied at once.
The Bamberg Bottling company,
the c;ty's newest manufacturing es-
tablishment, owned by Thomas
Quicker and B. F. Free, began opera
ton Saturday. The plant is equipped
with modern and sanitary new equip
ment, and has a large capacity.
Fire completely destroyed one Of
the cotton mill cottages in the mill
village Monday afternoon. The fire
alarm was sounded and the fire de-
partment responded, but as there
was no water hydrant near the house
nothing could be done to save the
house.
Rev. Geo. P. White was called to
Augusta yesterday on account of the
death of his sister, Miss Elizabeth
White, a trained nurse, who died
early yesterday morning. Miss White
was about 35 years Of age, and was
known to many friends in Bamberg,
where she has visited.
Tobacco beds are said not to be
thriving as we'll as expected in the
county. The seasons were favorable
when the beds were planted and the
seed terminated quickly, but the
growth has been slow. However,
there are some fine beds in the coun-
ty, and some of the tobacco planters
expect to begin setting out the plants
about the first of April.
The friends of w. Shelly Miley
are delighted to see him back IN the
city again Mr. Miley had his left
arm lacerated in a gin near town
several months ago, and it was nee
essary to amputate the member at
the elbow A month or so ago Mr..
Miley found it was necessary to re-
turn to the hospital for another op-
Grafton, when the entire arm was
amputated at the shoulder. His
many friends hope that he will rapid
ly recover his usual strength.
A great many farmers have already
planted corn. 1t is the custom of
some Bamberg farmers to plant corn
on the tenth of March, regardless of
weather conditions, and they say the
indications are good that the corn
will not be killed. Many planters
are expecting to plant cotton the lat
ter part of this month, in an effort to
beat the boil weevil. AS a general
rule early cotton will be planted this
year, and every effort made to get an
early crop, as this is said to be the
best way of defeating the boil weevil.

INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY
OF CORN FOR CATTLE FEEDING

1t has now been known for some
years that corn by itself is not an eco
nomical cattle feed, The reason for
this is that about one-half of the pro-
teins in corn are deficient in some of
the essential compounds needed to
produce growth. In order to make
corn more efficient, it is therefore
necessary to mix the corn with other
| cattle feeds which contain an abun-
dance of those compounds which are
lacking in corn. Experiments along
this line have recer !, been carried
out by the United States Department
of Agriculture. 1t has been shown
that when certain concentrates such
as coconut press cake, peanut press
cake, soy bean press cake, or cotton
seed press cake are added to the corn
more rapid growth results and the
mixture of proteins is much more effi-
cicnt and economical than the proteins
of corn alone. 1t is therefore very i'm
portant that the cattle feeder should
oo lila HIS NlSC IndC ne can get the
greatest amount of growth from the
least quantity of protein used, since
the protein is the most expensive con-
stitucnt in his feed
1t has been found that about 40 per
cent Of coconut press cake, or 25 per
cent of soy bean press cake or peanut
press cake, mixed with corn, furnishes
a very efficient diet. 1t is not safe,
however, to add so much cottonsced
press cake, since cotton seed is fire.
qucntly toxic and is ordinarily not fed
to cattle in amounts of more than 3
or pounds day. The experiments
which have been performed indicate
that when corn is properly mixed with
the press cakes mentioned above about
twice as much growth can be obtained
on a pound of protein from the mix
turc as on corn protcins alone.
While exact data has not been OBJ
tanned, the experiments thus far show
that great economy can be achieved by
mixture of other protein foods with
corn.
