l bushel of rye per acre and Is to 20
pounds of vetch or crimson clover.
Those who mound their trees during
July should pull this mound down
during the first week in october and
examine the trunk Of the trees and
see that there is no borer left. 1t
will be well to sprinkle few ashes
around the trees after pulling the
mound down.
Prepare for your winter pruning

Why by Florence!

This road certainly ought to come
by Bennettsville Although the peO-
pie may not show sufficient interest
this county will do its share. II al
ready has good road from the Che
raw bridge via Bennettsville and Nc
Coll to the y. C. line, and via Ben
nettsville and Dunbar to the Dillon
splendid highway. Marlboro is 60
line, where Dillon takes it up with a
ing to have even a better road when
it completes its link Of the state
highway from the Cheraw bridge to
the Dillon line.
To 60 by Darlington and Florence
from Cheraw would be 20 to 30 miles
out of the way. If it goes that way
it will miss Chcraw. for the travel
would eventually turn down by Cam
den and Bishopville to Florence.
Besides, there is no bridge across
the river below Cheraw, and is not
likely to be soon. In fact, the Allan
tic Coast highway is preparing tc

to Wilmington. instead of waiting for
the uncertain Pee Zee bridge, as tbs

TO HELP CONTROL WEEyILS
Pick Rapidly, Destroy Stalls Thor.
Oughly and Clean the Yields
Thoroughly.


Clemson College, Sept. 19.-The ear.
lier the cotton stalks are destroyed,
the fewer the boil %eevils that will
survive the winter and consequently
the smaller the damage to the next
crop, says Professor o. F. Conradi,
entomologist, who advises that as far
as possible the stalks be destroyed
at least three weeks before the first
killing frost, for the early fall de-
struction of cotton stalks is practi-
cally the most important single step
in any system Of fighting the boil
weevils. In other words, cleaning
of the fields, destroying the stalks,
and the planting of cover crops con-
stitute most powerful weapons for
weeyil fighting now in the hands Of
the farmers, who by efficient fall
great extent how many weevils shall
pass the winter on his farm. This
fall cleaning program is also Of the
greatest benefit generally in destroy
ing the winter homes and the winter
food plants of other injurious pests
of the farm.
Boil weevils multiply in cotton un-
til frost kills it. Many thousands of
them may occur in each acre of cot
ton. Weevils hibernate, that is they
pass the winter, only in the full
grown state. Hibernation usually be-
gins with the coming Of the first
killing frost. The weevils hibernate
principally in cotton fields, and stand
ing stalks make for them splendid
winter homes. The mCst favorable
condition for successful Information
is found in fields wnera cotton sra!ks
grass. weeds, dead lea 'nS, etc, al
left during the winter. There are
little prospects for successful cotton
growing under such conditions.
In some sections the stalks are
uprooted, piled and burned. This
has the very serious disadvantage OF
destroying a large amount of vege-
table matter which should be turned
under. Whenever the farmer Is
equipped with plows and mules to
turn under the stalks five to six
inches after they have been cut down
with the chopper, it is very effec-
tive plan. A less effective method
is to Craze off all green cotton within
a period of a few days. Whatever
the method the destruction of stalks
must be through.
Some of the many advantages Sc
cured from, cleaning the fields and
destroying the stalks are: O A
great many full grown weevils are
killed outright; (2) Many young
stages in the plants are killed; (3)
The full grown weevils not killed Will
be weakened by starvation if the
stalks arc destroyed two to three
weeks before the first frost and these
will not have sufficient strength to
pass the winter successfully. The
removal of the stalks also facilitates
fall plowing and the planting Of
cover crops.
Where stalks are chopped and
plowed under, the land should be
disked in order to help prevent Wee
wills from escaping.

Mayor T. S. Crosland, Bennettsville,
South Carolina.
Dear Sir:-Re: Matter Calhoun
Highway Association.
1t now seems that on account of q
lack of interest in BennettSville and
Dillon the Calhoun Highway will
have to run by Darlington and Flor
ence so as to tap the Wilmington
highway at Florence.
| am still of the opinion that the
route by Bennettsville and Dillon
offers the best solution of this prob
lem. Do you think there is any
chance of getting the local interest
aroused so as to get this road TO the
North Carolina line, as the North
Carolina people have already assur-
me that they will take care Of their
end?
With kindest personal regards
am Yours very truly.
