"Pve too much work to spend time
cleaning fence corners" declared a
farmer when his neighbor asked why
he allowed weeds to grow on line
fences and the roadside.
"For instancer" observed his caller
who had the New England habit Of
answering one question by asking an
other.
For instance, there's weeds all
through my corn and potatoes, and
they've been getting into the oats till
this years thrashing will be half
Canadian thistles.~ And, for instance,
the hired mans been laid up with
ivy poisoning he took fixing up the
pasture fence where some rails had
rottcd out. And, for instance, just
now there's some city acquaintances
of my daughter coming out, and they
might possibly buy the place II we
could get 1t tidied up-and there's a
big crop of fall weeds in the front
lot. guess that's enough, for in
stance, to keep me from puttering
around the fence corners with grass
hook after weeds"
How the Weeds Spread.
"Yes, maybe. looking at 1t from one
angle" persisted the neighbor.. But,
then, consider With balloon-seeds
like Canada thistle, dandelions, wild
lettuce and milkweed; bur-seeds like
burdock and beggar's lice, sticking to
every passing man and animal; the
scatter-seeds like tumble; and seeds
that are scattered by birds-do you
suppose those fence-corner weeds will
remain in the fence corners? Don't
you imagine that they have something
TO do with the fouling Of your crop
fields, and Of that front lot that you
are so anxious to have look neat for
prospective purchasers? And don't
you imagine that they foul my fields
as well as yours? noticed little

fully made than the average person
thinks. Chestnut and eastern white
cedar furnish the bulk Of the eastern
pole timber. Specifications for chest
nut poles generally require material
to be of good quality second-growth
timber, of specified dimensions, butt
cut, squared at both ends, reasonably
straight, well proportional from tip
to butt, peeled and with knots trimmed
close. ~
Defects looked for In inspection are
crookedness, split tops and butts, sap
and butt rot, checks and shakes. Poles
are assigned to two or three classes,
according to their length, top circum-
ference and circumference measured
at 6 feet from the butt. Poles of the
40-foot class, for example, are re
quired by one representative pole
company to be "a inches in top cir
conference and 4S inches In basal
circumference, while second-class
poles of the same length measure only
% and 40 inches, respectively, at the
two points.

on the same crops next year, but may
be burned and the ashes left on the
soil or used on other land devoted
to different crops.
Where sufficient area Is available
so that part can be devoted to soil i'm
proving crops each year, these should
be put In as the vegetable crops are
harvested. Crimson clover is an ex-
cellent soil improver, but can not be
grown In all sections. Winter oats,
barley, rye, vetch, and combinations
of these are good. Where the same
area is used for the garden year after
year fall application Of manure Is
very desirable. II manure can not be
secured, 1t may pay to sow the garden
to one of the soil-improving crops. In
many sections there is time between
late fall and early spring vegetables
for good growth Of these crops.

prepared by the United States Department

When garden crops are harvested
the vines, stalks, and other plant re-
mains should be cleaned up, the United
States Department Of Agriculture
points out. Good gardeners who take
pride in the appearance Of their
gardens remove such trash, as, If al

wild lettuce stalk yields from 5000
to 100000 seeds in one season-enough
to infest several acres Of land2
"Your hired mans case of poison
ing Is costing you practically weeks
time, just when you can't afford 1t.
And that was another case Of line
fence weeds.
.'The importance Of cleaning out
weeds growing in waste places around
the farm is not generally realized.
They are frequently neglected under
pressure Of other work; but there Is
little work around farm that pays
better than keeping the weeds out Of
farmyards. barnyards and fence rows.
and I am selfish and l can't keep my
fields clean as long as you leave your
side Of the line fence foul"
Many common fence-row weeds are
ANIMALS and biennials, and, the United
States Department Of Agriculture
points out, they can be killed by now
ing twice year, but the location is
one that might better be kept clear
Of all vegetation than grown up to
weeds; and perennials, like Canada
thistles, can De killed out In these
Spots.
How TO Deal With Weeds.
An economical way Of dealing with
perennials is to saturate them with
waste oils from automobiles and
tractors. The disposal of this oil Is in
itself often a problem. 1t is well to
cnt the weeds first, apply the oil and
cover the ground with clean dirt for
appearances sake. OIL win make the
ground sterile and bare for several
years. 1t is less drastic to cover the
ground with tar paper; old tin, or
loose boards, or to apply dry agricul-
tural salt at the rate Of one pound
per square foot.
On the whole. fence row and waste
place weeds are the result Of neglect.

One of the easiest ways for dress
ing up the house at holiday time is
TO make lamp, candle and electric
light shades or lanterns Of crepe or
tissue paper and tinsel. To make
the small lantern pictured two rings
of cardboard are covered with plain
black or gold paper pasted over them.
A length of light green tissue paper
is folded along the center, slashed
into narrow strips and pasted inside
the rings. Under this length fof
rose-colored Grape paper narrower
than the green is pasted; this causes
the strips of green paper to spread
and stand out. Silver tinsel hangs
from the wire handle at each side.

/ Rrom the interview of The Char
lotte Observer with Charles w. Up
ham, from which The State quoted
the other day, this expression also
is taken:
In western North Carolina there
are splendid opportunities for great
scenic highways, which hope 10
construct among the mountains, and
l have not the least doubt that if
these plans are carried out the
tourists who will travel on these
scenic highways will bring back into
the state very shortly the entire
sum involved in the $5O,OOO,0O0
pond issue, out of their own pocket
books"
Ihe picturesque mountain district
OF this state is by no means so ex-
tensiVe as that of North Carolina
out 1T is extensive enough for a
summer playground and health re-
sort for the populations of South
Carolina and Georgia.
Beautiful as are many parts Of
western North Carolina, none is of
more striking beauty than Caesars
Head and Table Rock. Through the
northern borders of Spartanburg,
Grccnville, Pickens and Oconee
counties, about SO miles, runs the
Blue Ridge but South Carolinans
spend their money in another state
because the glorics of their own land
are shut off from them. They are
inaccessible.
Good roads are lacking.
Mr.. Upham, the engineer of Del
aware, advising the North Carolin-
ians, believes that the building of
scenic highways" in North Carolina
would bring into the state revenues
equal to the $5O,OOO,0OO of bonds
which the state is to sell for roads
building. That is not hard for South
Carolinians to believe. How many
millions have they spent in Bun
combe, Polk, Henderson, Transyl-
vania and Wautauga's counties in
the las 20 ycars--the roads being
inferior though passable? What
they have spent in the mountains of
Pickens could be reckoned in hun
drads--not one South Carolinian ac-
customcd to ego to the mountains"

Nothing so quickly pays for itself

E: BOIL WEEVIL AND HIS
WINTER QUARTERS.

Clemson College. The cotton boil
weevil finds his hotel for the winter
in old stalks, weeds and dead grass In
the field. He will find splendid win
ter-quartars in unkept terraces.
weedy ditch banks and fences, in
neglected orchards, in underbrush
along the woods and railroads, etc.
The weevil requires for successful
wintering a place with given
amount of moisture, failing in such
places where moisture is heavy.
Therefore the cover crop that is used
for preventing land washing and the
teaching Of soil fertility. and for
maintaining soil texture is of the
greatest value under weevil condi-
tons, because it acts as cleansing
crop which keeps down weeds and
winter food plants and destroys pro-
tectivc coverings for the waevil and
other destructive insects during the
winter.
1t is now time for farmers to think
about these matters and not let this
work go until the last moment, ad-
vises Prof. A. F. Conrad, entomolo-
gist who says that we want to clean
up our farms this fall as we have
never done before. These wintering
places mentioned must not be per-
mittcd; they must be removed or
destroyed by one method or another.
Humus is our greatest deficiency in
farming and for that reason vege-
table matter should be properly in
corporated in the soil whenever pos
sible; but there are a gcrat many
cases where this can not be done;
and yet should weeds, dead grass.
etc, remain through the winter they
would form successful wintering
places for the boil wccvil Burning
may be the only resort by which
they can be destroyed. and if so,
burni6g should be employed.
