REDUCING FREIGHT RATE

Clemson College, Sept. 1s.-It is
poor business to grow feed in one
section of the county and livestock
in another. Livestock should 'be pro-
duced where the feed is produced. If
we produce our livestock where the
feed is, we reduce our freight rates,
says Prof L. v. Sturkey, chief of
the animal .husbandry division, be-
cause we can ship a carload of corn
after it has been reduced to pig
flesh for about one-ffth as much as
it would cost to ship the corn. When
it comes to hay the difference is even
more striking.
The point to be driven home is
that if South Carolina is ever going
to be a great livestock state, land
some day she willy it must be done
by growing our own feed. In other
words, we must practice diversified
system Of agriculture.
It has been stated upon good
authority that last year we spent
$11, 100000 for feed and food! This
is a startling consideration that
South Carolina can grow corn, oats
alfalfa, cowpeas, soy beans,- rape,
rye, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and
many other food and feed crops so
profitably. > e..
Following the decline in the price
Of cotton, some one said, "Our saliva
ton is in livestock" This is true
provided we grow the feeds at home.
If we grow our own feeds and make
use of our long grazing periods,
there is no reason why we cannot
produce our meat even. more eco
nomically than it can be done in the
corn belt.
And. in doing so we will leave the
soil better than we found it.

TO HELP CONTROL wEEvILs
Pick Rapidly, Destroy Stalks and
Clean Fields Thoroughly

Clemson College, Sept. 20.-The
earlier the cotton stalks are destroyed
the fewer the boil weeyils that will
survive the winter and consequently
the smaller the damage to the next
crop, says Professor A F. Conradi,
entomologist, who advises that as far
as. possible the stalks be destroyed
at least two weeks before the first
killing frost, for the early fall de-
struction Of cotton stalks is practi-
cally the most important single step
in any system of fighting the boil
weevils. In other worlds, cleaning
of the fields, destroying the stalks,
and the planting of cover crops con-
stitute most powerful weapons for
weevil fighting now in the hands of
the farmers, who by efficient fall
farm management can dictate to a
great extent how many weevils shall
pass the winter on his farm. This
fall cleaning program is also of the
greatest benefit generally in Destroy
ing the winter homes and the winter
food plants of other injurious pests
of the farm.
Boil weevils multiply in cotton un-
til frost kills it. Many thousands of
them may occur in each acre OF cot
ton. Weevils hibernate, that is they
pass the winter, only in the full
grown state. Hibernation usually be-
tgins with the coming of the first
killing frost. The weevils hibernate
! principally in cotton fields and stand
ng stalks make for them splendid
winter homes. The most favorable
condition for successful Information
| is found in fields where cotton stalks
grass, weeds, dead leaves, etc- are
left during the winter. There are
little prospects for successful cotton
growing under, such conditions.
In some sections the stalks are
uprooted, piled and burned. This
has the very serious disadvantage of
destroying a large amount Of veget-
able matter which should be turned
under. Whenever the farmer is
equipped with plows and mules to
turn under the stalks five to six
inches after they have cut down
with the chopper, it is very effec-
tive plan. A less effective method
is to Craze off all green cotton within
a period of few days. Whatever
the method the destruction of stalks
must be thorough.
Some of the many advantages Sc
cured from cleaning the fields and
destroying the stalks are: (1 A
great many full grown weevils are
killed outright; (2) Many young
stages in the plants are killed; (3)
the full grown weevils not killed will
be weakened by starvation if the
stalks are destroyed two to three
weeks before the the first frost and
these will not have sufficient strength
to pass the winter successfully. The
removal of the stalks also facilitates
fall plowing and the planting OF
cover crops.
! Where stalks are chopped and
plowed under, the land should be
disked in order to help prevent wee
wills from escaping
