BOIL WEENIL POISINING

Clemson ollcge, July 29.-"Wc do
not advise the use of swcctcncd
poison for the cotton boil weevil be-
cause experimental work has so far
failed to show any profit from this
operation at this timc," says Prof.
a. r.. Conradi, cntomoigist, who is
receiving many inquiries asking if
sWcetcncd poison is recommended.
"Whcre the wcevil is sufficiently
abundant on high yielding land and
where conditions for poisoning are
right, we recommend the use of cal
cium arsenate busted properly"
AS stated in previous articles, the
use of swectcncd poison is not new,
but is very old recommendation
and little used by farmers in the
Older wecvil territory. 1t has long
been known, and literature is full
of statements to the effect that wee
wills can be killed with poison before
the cotton squares. Among other
poisons, various combinations of
Swcetcncd poiSons were used twenty
five years ago, but have generally
been abandoned when no definite in
crease in yield WAS obtained.
If conditions are proper, the use
OF calcium arsenatc is recommended
as more effective and more ccon0mi-
cal. But farmers are again caution
ed to inform themselves thoroughly
IN regard to the methods and proper
time of application, because unless
these directions are carefully follow
cd it is Il very easy matter to 90 to
Il considerable expense without Sc
curing any profits. Poisoning will
not be profitable on low yicldinr
land and is not likely to be profitable
IN 1921 on land not capable Of pro-
ducing three fourths of bale pcr
acre in wcevil absence.

FODDER PULLING NOT PRAC-
TlCED BY BEST FARMERS

Clemson College, July 29.-Thc old
practice Of pulling fodder is not fol-
lowed by the best farmers any more.
They have come to realize that fodder
is the most expensive form Of for
age which they can raise on the farm
and have begun to raise cowpcaS,
soybcans, sorghum and other things
for forage and to leave their corn
alone until daturc. They have
stopped this practice because they
have found it to be, not only a hot,
dirty piece of work, but also that it
reduces the yield Of corn so greatly
that they can not affird to do it.
Several different experiment sta
tions have carefully tested the mat
ter and have found that pulling the
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1921-08-03

fodder reduces the yield of car corn
by 10 to IL percent, says Prof. C. P.
Blackwell, agronomist. This loss
amounts to 3 bushels per acre on the
average. Frequently the loss to ear
corn is worth as much as the fodder
| saved and the farmer has had his
work for nothing.
The leaf is the factory of the corn
plant where the raw materials which
are taken from the soil and the air
are united by the energy of the sun
to form starch, oil. proteins, and
fats for the growth of the entire
plant and especially for storage in
the ear. AS the leaf dries out,
these foods are transferred, in a
large measure, fro mthc leaf to the
ear. If the leaf is pulled before it
is thoroughly dry, this transfer can
not take place and the result is
loss to the ear. 1t is because of this
loss that the more progressive farm
ers no longer depend on fodder as
forage for livestock; but use in
stead cowpeas soybcans, velvet
beans, sorghum, or some other source
Most of these arc not only much
cheaper forage but also better.
Let us Eope that it will not be
long until "foddcr pulling" will be
a relic of the past.
