THE FALL CROP OF
IRISH POTATOES

Clemson College, June 21.-Largs
quantities Of Irish potatoes are ship
ped into the South from the North
and the Middle West during the fall.
winter and spring, and yet expert
ments have shown that two crops of
l1ish potatoes may be grown on the
same land In South Carolina in nine
months. The spring crop should
supply our needs from June to No
vember, when the fall crop should be
ready for harvest. This second crop
may be kept in perfect condition
from the time of harvest until the
first crop of the spring harvest is
ready. 1t is plain therefore that we
can have Irish potatoes the year
round from our own farms.
The difficulty in growing this Sec
ond crop is in securing a perfect
stand, but since the introduction of
the Lookout Mountain variety there
is little or no trouble in this respect,
provided the land is well prepared
and the tubers properly planted. 1t
requires IL to Is bushels to plant
an acre. Seed should be secured
early and stored for planting in July
about the middle of July giving best
results.
Fall potatoes should be planted
and cultivated exactly as the spring
clop. A cool moist soil that is well
drained is best. Potatoes may fol-
low any spring crop that is harvested
during June and early July. The
land should be broken to 8 inches
double disced, and rows laid off with
a shovel plow feet apart. The
tubers should be covered to S
inches with two burrows.
Just before the potatoes begin to
break through it Is well to run a
spike-tooth harrow across the rows
to break the crust and kill the grass.
Cultivation should be similar to that
for cotton except that at the last
cultivation the soil should be thrown
towards the plants so that the tubers
may be well covered to prevent frost
injury.
Harvesting may be done as soon
as the vines are killed by frost, or
two burrows may be turned over the
potatoes which may be allowed to
remain in the field to be dug at any
convenient time. After harvesting
potatoes should be placed in bags
and stored in house where the
temperature will not go below 80
degrees.

Noted Checker Player Visits Dillon

Capt. F. B. Fishburne, noted check
er player and former southern cham
pion, spent a short while in Dillon
last week. Capt. Fishburne is won
der as checker player. He takes
six boards and six players and plays
against the aggregation. AS the
games progress he walks up and down
the line directing his moves. At one
time he took a seat several feet away
from the players and after his oppon-
ents' moves We're called out he di-
rectsd his own moves and won the
games. He carries in his head all the
moves Oh six boards and seems to ex-
perience no difficulty in winning
games from amatuers. His wonderful
knowledge of the game entertained
and delighted local checker players.
Thursday afternoon Capt. Fishburne
attended the Sunday school picnic at
Pee Dee Park and gave several ex-
hibitions of his skill as player Capt.
Fishburne Is a native South Carolin-
ian. his father having been member
OF the South Carolina Conference.
His home is at Columbia where for
many years he has held a position as
conductor with the Southern Rail-
way.

A few years ago when a person felt
a sharp pain in the right side they
rushed to a surgeon and had their
appendix removed. That was known
as the appendix age. Following the
appendix age came the tooth age
when nine-tenths of the human ills
were traceable to bad teeth, and IL the
craze had lasted much longer we
would have become a toothless race.
But more serious than either the ap-
penoix craze or the tooth craze Is
The insanity craze" through which
we are passing. 1t is becoming so
popular as a ground of defense for
normal men who go wrong that the
very foundations of society are
threatened. The most striking case
that has come under our observation
recently is that of a North Carolina
physician who was acquitted or MUIR
der few days ago on the plea of
infanity. This physician, a man of
prominence In his community, hefd
an imaginary grievance against the
chief Of police of his town. One

POISON FOR WEEVILS.
Calcium Arsenate and Molasses Prove
Effective-Very Small Cost.

Columbia, June 17-Experiments
with mixture of calcium arsenate
and molasses have shown this mix
ture to be a very effective posion In
controlling and eliminating the boil
Weevil, according to information re-
ceived in Columbia from w. B. Raw
enel & Co of Charleston.
Directions for preparing the mix
ture as given by the Charleston firm
follow: Mix thoroughly for 80
minutes one pound calcium arsenate
with one quart warm water; add one
gallon of the cheapest grade molas-
ses and apply from one to two drops
on each plant with a mop made with
stick and old piece of rag" The
mixture, it is said, can be prepared
at cost Of about 10 cents an acre.
The results of the experiments are
told in two letters received by w. B.
Ravenel from the Holman-Cullum
hardware Company's letter follows:
FOLLOWING our conversation yes
terday we tried the arsenate of cal
cium with the molasses mixture yes
terday afternoon, putting a small
amount on one stalk of cotton and
covering the same with a wire cage
and put eight boil weevils inside the
cage in a bottle. One of the weeyils
stayed in the bottle, another got out
and got fastened in the top between
the wire and the frame where we
fund him this morning, and the
other six got on the stalk and we
found these dead. The two which did
not get any of the poison last night
We put them on the stalk this morn
and and they got taste of the poison
and they died in about four hours af-
terwards. According to our way of
figuring only six of those got any of
the poison and resulted in a perfect
score of dead weevils.
We thank you very much for
calling our attention to this and we
expect to get some very satisfactory
results since our experiment last
night"
The letter from Mr.. Morris fol-
lows:
Il applied the mixture for killing
weevils as you told me Saturday
mcrning and had five rows of cotton
ZoO yards long on which 1 had put
the mixture examined very carefully.
and found one live weevil, and then
mad five rows adjoining same
length examined closely and found
SO weevils.
Monday afternoon 1 commenced
putting the mixture on my cotton in
two different fields, and this morning
after close examination, picking rows
where applied and rows where none
Was applied and I am satisfied 90
per cent OF the weevils are gone.
When the weevils are killed
and fall on the ground they are Nigh
ty hard to find, being so small and
about the color Of the soil. To put II
mildly, 1 am very much pleased with
tho result used a cheap quality
OF Dlackstrap molasses. am tell
ing all my friends of the experiments
and they are all trying it.
The mail has just come in and
your letter was received and the re-
suits of the Bamberg firm with the
mixture noted, which seems to be
very satisfactory.
Il tried the same experiment by
putting six weevils on a stalk of cot
ton on which the mixture was ap-
piled and putting a wire cage over
same. found the next morning
three dead on the paper, one live on
the stalk and the other two were
not to be found. I am real enthu-
siastic over the experiment"
