GULL CLOSE AND FEED WE'LL

Clemson College, June Tin
the growing of livestock there are
two things to be used freely,-the
knife and feed" says w. ]. Shcely.
Animal Husbandman of the Extcn-
sion Service, in discussing the mpor-
tance Of careful culling and good
feeding. Mr.. Sheely believes that
to the motto, Breed the Best to the
Best for the Best" should be added ),
"Fccd the Best to the Best for the
Best"
With these two notices in mind,
every undesirable animal should be
culled from the herd and sent to the
butcher. A breeder can have no
better advertisement than to have it
known that he sends the inferior an
imals in his herd to the butcher and
offers for breeding purposes only
those animals that have good con-
formation and are we'll grown for
their age. Inferior animals will
often cause prospective purchasers to
have doub BITS and to fall out with the
particular breed.
The policy of the Extension Ser
vice livestock specialists is to aid
breeders to grow and sell to best ad-
vantage, and therefore breeders are
urged to Gull their herds carefully
and grow out well all animals offered
for breeding. We'll grown we'll fitted
animals of good conformation are
the ones that bring the most money
and make satisfied customers. Good
feed and careful feeding and atten-
ton are needed to help do this. In
short, the best policy to follow is,
"Fecd only the Best to only the Best
for the Best"

ganda for an increase in the European

ganda for an increase in the European
production of cotton has been source
OF much merriment to the representa-
tives of the American Cotton Associa-
ton abroad. This has only more
clearly brought to light that England
realizes, that through the organization
of the American Cotton Association a
complete change has taken place in
the hadling Of the American cotton
crop; and as pathetically expressed in
confidential way be several English
manufacturers, it is realized by the
manufacturers both at home and
abroad, that they will be forced to
send representatives to the cotton
fields of the South to purchase cotton
direct from the Cooperative Market
ing Associations now being formed in
the South under the leadership Of the
American oCtton Association. In
other words, that the producer will
warehouse his cotton, retaining per-
sonal control of same; stretching the
sale over period of twelve full
months. and only selling it to the
manufacturer when he will pay a pro-
fitable price for same; that the cotton
will be graded by government grad
crs, weighed and settled for in the
presence of the producer, and the pro-
ducer, for the first time in SIXTY
years, will be placed on equal terms
with the manufacturer.
"1t is conceded that this change will
bring benefits to the producer, manu-
facturers and even the consumers Of
cotton goods. The shortage of raw
cotton is causing Europe intense un-
easiness. Her financial fabric is alb
solutely dependent upon the Ameri-
can cotton crop. 1t is conceded by
leading experts that had the Ameri-
can cotton producer been paid fair
price for his cotton for the last sixty

pays to summer prune peaches. Pull
off enough new shoots throughout
the tops of the trees so that they Will
not become crowded, and pinch back
the tops of those shoots that are
growing too rapidly.
Watch closely the newly planted
trees to see that the branches are
forming properly. If the young
shoots are we'll spaced around the
body, select three or four to form
the head and rub off all the others.
But if they have developed only on
one side. which would result in a
poorly shaped tree, remove all of the
shoots except one Of the strongest.
Allow it to grow until eighteen inches
high and then pinch out the top.
Side shoots will form and by the end
of the season you will have a well
branchcd, nicely shaped tree.
One of the best ways to prevent
newly set fruit trees from dying dur
ing their first summer is to place
around them n heavy mulch Of stable
manure, straw, or pine needles.
Under no circumstances should a
broadcast crop be maintained in the
orchard during summer.

FOR THE MARKET GARDENER

Clemson College, June 8.-What
is true Of early spring vegetables
bringing the highest prices is also
very largely true of fall vegetables.
Plan to have tomatoes, beets, celery,
lettuce, garden peas, and other fresh
vegetables to sell this fall
For fruit and vegetables to sell
readily and bring the best prices they
must first please the eye Of the Gus
toner. and they must be of good
quality.
There is Il standard package for
almost every vegetable and fruit that
is sold. Find out the kind that is
used in marketing the particular
product you have for sale. and order
a supply.
Before leaving home with fresh
vegetables for the market see that
they are sprinkled with water and
protected from sun. No one cares to
buy wilted product.
Plant a big patch of sweet pota-
toes-four times as much as usual
Fall Irish potatoes, as we'll as
sweet potatoes, are good crop to
have on hand for sale during tn,
winter.

HOW TO DETERMINE
WEEVIL INFESTATION

mers in the boil weevil territory are
interested in the suggestions made
by Prof. A. r. Conradi, Entomologist
of the State Crop Pest Commission,
concerning determining the amount
of weevil infestation as referred to
iii Information Card No. T entitled
"Boll Weevil Poisonin gin South Car
olina in 1920" Following is all ex-
planation of simple method for de-
termining infestation.
Make counts Of 100 squares or
forms at each of five points of the
field. These points should be prop
erly 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 puncturcd remain on the
plant. The punctured squares may
be put in small sack. After the
count at each point has been com,
pletcd, the punctmed squares should
be counted, recorded, and then dis,
cardel 50 that they will not confuse
counts at other points. At the com.
pletion Of counts at the five points
an average percentage Of puncturcc
squares should be made.

AMERICAN COTTON WANTED
IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES

columbia, June 5.-"The investiga-
- being conducted through the
United States Counsuls abroad and
through experts of the American Cot
ton Association concerning the sup
, ply Of cotton, the demand for raw
cotton and methods for enlarging the
markets for American cotton, is be-
ing vigorously pushed, and valuable
information is being secured and bene-
dicial results will follow" said j.
Skottowe Wannamaker, President of
the American Cotton Association yes
terday. "a
Gas reSAlt of this Investigation,
it has already been found that the
demand for American cotton will far
exceed the generally accepted infor-
nation. In addition to this the ap-
, parent supply of cotton abroad will
be very materially reduced by unspin-
nable cotton and by errors. Most i'm
portant of ALL as result of confer
ences being held with the various bust

valuable assistance has been rem

tion in this work through Dr. Olin d.
Wannamaker, a brother of the Presi-
dent of the Association, who is now
in Europe writing history of the

has been clearly shown that the de-
mand for American cotton will be
enormously increased; that the enor-

Twenty of these patrons cooled their

indicate the best methods of cooling
milk, of washing cans, of pasteurizing,

better understanding among the pat

caring for the milk and its delivery to-
the factory in good condition.
Cooling tanks are a great factor in
producing sweet, clean milk and

farms which produce milk or cream,
