Weeds and Hay Fever.

Interesting observations made by
Dr. William Sheppegrell, president OF
ne American Hay Fever Prevention
sssocfation, are reported in a paper
yublished by him. AS a result OF a

New Orleans in the spring Of 1916 the
zumber Of hay fever cases was re-
dneed to less than so per cent of the
usuas prevalence. The "cOld storage

Clemson College, Mar. 3.-Accord-
ing to annual reports of county agents
there were 448 demonstrators in cot
ton in 1920 growing 9093 acres of
cotton by improved methods under
the supervision of county agents. The
average yield per acre on these dem
onstration acres was 1883 pounds of
seed cotton. The estimated average
yield per acre for the entire state was
720 pounds of seed cotton. The in
creased yield per acre on demonstra-
tions, therefore was 733 pounds per
acre over ordinary methods, or twice
as much. The profit resulting from
the increased yield on the demonstra-
tions was $161,455
In addition to the 448 demonstra-
tors there were 822 co-operators
planting cotton on an acreage of A.
SGT acres. The average yield per acre
made by these co-operators was 1157
pounds of seed cotton, or 497 pounds
greater than the estimated average.
Quite good deal of work was done
during the year under county agents
in the planting of pure or selected
seed and selecting seed for next years
crop. There were. 557 demonstrators
who planted pure or selected seed or
