QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What is the matter with the en-
closed bean leaves and what can be
done?-L. B. A. Greenwood.
The leaves are infected with rust
This is a very serious bean disease at
times and can be overcome only by
the use of resistant varieties, although
| proper care in cultivation will help
to some extent. For example, beans
should not be cultivated while wet
with rain or dew, as that will spread
not only the rust but anthracnose,
which is also a very serious disease.
How can | control the blight on
Dorothy Perkins roses?-F. E. B.,
Due West.
The blight or mildew on Dorothy
Perkins roses can be controlled by re-
peated spraying with Bordeaux mix
ture. provided the roses are not under
TIE eve of the house or protected in

roses that are partially protected by

EoRFJGN INSECTS INVADING
SOUTH CAROLINA
MEXICAN Bean Beetle and Velvet Bean
Caterpillar May Do Great
DamaSe

Clemson College, Sept. 1.-Two for
eign insect pests which are likely to
do much damagelare being watched
closely, says Prof. A. F. Conradi, en-
tomologist; namely, the Mexican bean
beetle, which has already reached
this state; and the velvet bean cater
piller, which is rapidly working it's
way upward from Florida and south
-ern Georgia.
The Mexican bean beetle has been
reported by Government scouts at two
points in the northwestern corner of
this state; viz, Long Creek and
point near Easley. The spread of
this pest has been SO rapid during the
spring and summer that it will pos
sibly spread over much more terri
tory before, being stopped by winter.
This is an especially destructive pest
to all kinds of beans in the garden
and to cowpeas. The grubs, which
do the principal feeding, are one
fourth to three-eights Of an inch long,
sof a bright yellow color, and covered
with spines which are branched and
zcolored black at the tips.

lWEEyIL DISPERSION HAS BEGUN

Clemson College, August So.-The
boll weevil, so long as there is 1000
available in the cotton field, does
very. little migrating during the
spring and summer; but beginning
about the middle Of August, the pest
is seized by the migration instinct and
begins a period of dispersion winch
continues until stopped by the trst
killing frost. This, says Prof. A. +.
Conrad, entomologist, explains TO
farmers why they have been obseTv-
ing a greater number of weevils IN
their fields during the last week Or
5 ten days than at any previous time
The weevil is now over the entire
state, specimens having been sent IN
by farmers from the extreme upper
portions Of the Piedmont section. AL
though the weevils are more numer-
Gus than we expected, because CT
mild winter, every farmer should put
forth his best efforts to destroy the
weeyils' winter homes. This destruc-
tion consists in cleaning up terraces
ditch banks, fence rows, the edges OF
woods, neglected orchards, and otner
{ places where the weevii may ma
proper shelter.
Cover crops offer one Of the best
weapons in a weevil fight, because
besides their agricultural value In
preventing washing and teaching, ana
in adding vegetable matter, they
serve as powerful cleansing crop
which destroys the weevils' winter
quarters most effectively.

From feeding standpoint the ideal
time to cut pea vine hay is when the
pods are about two-thirds full. When
cut at this state the maximum
amount of feed per acre is obtained.
Pea vine hay cut while it is in bloom
is very pa1atable and makes very sat-
isfactory feed, but it does not make as
much feed per acre as when cut when
the pods are two thirds filled.

FARMERS MEET
TO HEAR EXPERT
FRIDAY NEXT

Columbia. September 5.-Carl Will
liams, of Oklahoma City, president oi
the American Cotton Growers En-
change, will address a statewide
meeting of farmers to be held in
Craven Hall, this city. Friday, Sep
tember 9 at - o'clock noon. The
meeting has been called by Harry G..
Hammer, president of the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association, the organization which is
being formed in this state for the CO.
operative marketing Of cotton.
Mr. Williams is considered one of
the foremost experts on cooperative
marketing of cotton in the United
States. He is the president Of the
American, Cotton Growers Exchange,
the overhead organization of the
four statewide cooperative market
ing organizations that have already
been formed. He was one of the
leaders in the organization of the Ok
lahoma Cotton Growers Cooperative
association, the first one of the organ
izations to reach it's quota. He is edi-
tor of the Oklahoma Farmer and
Stockman.
Cooperating with Mr.. Hammer in
calling the meeting are R. c. Hamer,
president of the South Carolina Di-
vision Of the American Cotton associ-
alton, which is sponsoring the organi-
zation of the cooperative marketing
organization, and w. W. Long, direc-
tor of the extension forces of Glenn
son College, also actively interested in
the campaign.
President Hamer has asked the
president Of each county branch of
the cotton association to appoint fifty
or more delegates to the. meeting next
week and the members Of the execu-
tive committee of the association
have also been asked to see that their
respective congressional districts are
well representa-.
Dr.. Long has requested the agents
OF the extension force to attend the
meeting and to bring as many inter-
ested farmers as they can.
President Hammer and the organi-
zation committee of the cooperative
marketing association will also en-
deavor to see that each county is well
represented at the meeting. 1t is the
hope of the joint agencies that the
meeting will be one Of the most REP
resehtative farmers gatherings ever
held in the state.
Mr.. Williams is coming long
distance to be with u.s. said Mr..
Hammer last night land 1 wish every
farmer in South Carolina could ar
range to hear him speak, on, to my
mind the most important subject af-
fecting the farmer today. He has a
message that is we'll worth hearing.
He has made a very close study of the
cooperative marketing and is in posi-
ton to give Us some first-hand infor-
