How to Determine Weevil In.
festation.

Clemson College, June 15.-Far-
mers in the boil weevil territory are
interested in the suggestions made
by Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist
of the State Crop Pest Commission,
concerning determining the amount
of weevil infestation as referred to
in Information Card No. entitled
ssBoll Weevil Poisoning in South Car
olina in 1920" Following is an ex-
PLANTATION of simple method for de-
termining weevil infestation.
Make counts of 100 squares or
forms at each of five points of the
field. These points should be proper
ly distributed in order to represent
average conditions. One point should
be near each corner and one near
the center Of: the field.
Examine the squares or forms on
the plants, not on the ground. Dur
ing each count of 100 squares pull
off those that are punctured but let
those not punctured remain on the
plant. The punctured squares may be
put in small sack. After the count
at each point has been completed,
the punctued squares should be count
ed, recorded, and then discarded so
that they will not confuse counts at
other points. At the completion Of
counts at the five points, an average
percentage of punctured squares
should be made.
To simplify this work hand tally
counter may be bought. This little
instrument can be used to great ad-
vantage in so far as it does all the
counting by just pressing small
lever with the finger as each square
is counted. It saves much head work.
These tally counters can generally
be obtained from hardware stores.
In making the counts at each point
of the field 1T is not necessary to
count all of the squares on each
stalk. Count an average number
from each stalk from several rows at
that point. It is usually best to start
counting on the second or third row
from the edge of the field and about
the same distance from the end of
the rows at each corner of the field.

Recognition Extended Mexico.

Washington, June 13. For all
practical purposes the new Mexican
government has been recognized at
the state department, and the new
regime is in touch with the United
States.
The Mexican embassy here has
been turned over to DR.. Felix Tore
Diaz, as charge d'affaires of the pro-
visional Mexican government.
Mr.. Salvador Diego Fernandez,
Carranza' charge d'affaires left here
this morning for Mexico City. He
has turned over to>pr. Tore Diaz all
of the funds of the embassy and all
the powers by order of the provision
al President De La Huerta. The new
charge has made no change in the
embassy staff and business is run
ming along smoothly between the two
governments.
introduced to State bePt.
In was learned here today that DR..
Tore Diaz was introduced at the
Mexican division of the state depart
ment yesterday by Mr.. Fernandez,
who up to that time had been acting
as the representative of Carranza.
This act is about the last which
signalizes the total collapse of the re-
gime in Mexico which was set up
during the first administration OF
President Wilson. In many official
ways are Carranza government has
been saved from an actual outbreak
with the United States by unexpect-
ed turns of diplomacy at the White
House.
Caused Resignation of Lansing.
The last efforts of the White
House to prop up the decadent Car
rama minority caused the reslgna-
ton of Secretary Lansing and henry
p. Fletcher, the United States am
bassador to Mexico, who during the
Presidents illness undertook to de-
noand from Carranza an acknowledge
ment of the rights of w. o. jenkins,
a consulate agent of this country
who had been jailed and persistently
harassed by the scourts and petty Of
ficials of the Carranza government.
Carranza won in the triangular
fight between him, the White House
and the state department.
The outlook today appears to be
that the new government is able
enough to demand the recognition
of all nations.

demonstrations in field, barn, and Or
chard and to recreation. Special at
tention is to be given to recreation

the institution and its work as
whole.

short course three boys making the
highest record in livestock raising

H. S. WHITE, OF
SCREVEN, HERE TO
AID HOKE SMITH

1t, was announced at Hoke Smith
headquarters in the Piedmont hotel
Wednesday that Hon. III. S. White,
of ScreVen county, Sylvania, Georgia,
has come to Atlanta to spend sew
eral days, assisting in the conduct
of Senator Smiths campaign and
particularly in perfecting an organi-
zation in his section of the state.
Mr.. White is solicitor of the city
court of Screven county and a. for
mer representative in the Legislature
from that county. He is one of the
leading lawyers in his section of
Georgia.
Speaking of the preferential prim-
airy, Mr.. White said:
Il am delighted to have the oppor-
tunity of spending several days in
Atlanta helping in the great work of
securing for Senator Hoke Smith
the overwhelming Endorsement of
his own state tor the Democratic
nomination for president. 1t is not
simply my personal admiration for
the senator, and my belief in his
fitness for the office, and my, con-
viction that his services TO Georgia
and to the nation entitle him to our
Endorsement. My feeling goes much
further than this. L believe unless
the Democratic party indorses the
principles that Senator Smith advo-
Gates, and names q man who stands
to win the coming election.
"On the other hand, ii it takes
the sane and sensible view that the
senator is advocating, It; would de-
serve to win, and IN my opinion,
would win. The people Df America
will never, accept the League OF Ma
tions without substantial reserva-
tons which protect American in
terestS and American Institutions
There is no question Whatever but
that Senator Smith will carry ScreE-
en- county oVerwhel mingly, and from
what L learn, the adjoining counties.
There is no Palmer sentiment IN
Screven county at all---there will be
some who will vote for Watson, but
Senator Smith Will sweep the coun-
ty.
I am here to do what l can to
help his candidacy, and l believe
am rendering every possible SER
vice to my country in so DONG
