The Grain Weeyil

lhS NIdlH NccFIk
Throughout this part Of the State
the grain wcevil has in late years be-
come most serious pest, annually
doing thousands of dollars damage to
stored grains. This is particularly
true of corn. This insect infests corn
in the field before it is harvested, the
the infestation being worst in loose
fitting shucks. The pests are hauled
from the field to the crib. At every
load many weevils sift through the
shuck and lie on the floor Of the veg
on bed. These should be swept out
and burned, not thrown on the
ground.
Weevils may be controlled by fumi-
eating with carbon bisulphide. This
liquid, as we'll as the gas, is easily
set on fire and then explodes violent
ly. For that reason it should be hand
led even more cautiously than gaso-
line; hence, fire Of all kinds including,
pipes, cigars, candles lanterns, etc,
should be kept away, Lofts should
not be fumigated when livestock is
kept underneath. When the material
is not in use it can be stored in a
cool place.

from local druggists in small quanti-

mRttufacturer in large quantities. I
have quotations from leading manu-
facturer which will enable us to OBJ
tain it laid down here at around 10c
per pound in 100 pound drums or
about half cent higher in SO pound
drums. This puts it in reach Of al
most any one and makes the opera
ton very cheap.
There is only one serious drawback
to the use of this for controlling the
corn wcevil, and that is the openness
of most Of our cribs. For best results
the corn should be in tight cribs.
However where the cribs are even
reasonably tight, I believe that it
will pay well to treat the corn using
n heavy dosage and repeating it if
necessary.
When preparing for fumigation,
first make the crib as tight as pos
sible. Cracks may be daubed with
clay or strips of boards nailed over
cracks. A cheap grade of roofing
may often be used to advantage. If
the corn has not been put in the
crib the cracks may be covered with
paper from the inside.
For best results try to treat when
the temperature is not below 70 de-
grees. Level the corn at the surface,
and at various points on top of the
pile dig out holes in the corn couple
of feet deep. Pour equal amounts

of the carbon bisulphide into each
each of the holes and throw back in
the corn at once. Spread sacks or
blankets over the top of the pile.
| Close the crib tight and leave from
| "a to 48 hours. Then open wide and
in short time the fumes will largely
disappear.
Use the carbon bisulphide at the
rate of pounds to 100 bush> is of
grain or 10 pounds if crib is rather
open. This makes the cost of the
treatment from zoe to $1.00 per hund-
red bushels. A very insignificant
amount if it checks the weevil injury
to any great extent.
Small quantities of seed such as
beans, peas, wheat, ETC., may be treat
ed in barrel, using about three
ounces per barrel. Apply the liquid

weighted down with boards.
would suggest that farmers CO.
operate in ordering this material
drum for his own use. Cash must
accompany the order.
l will be glad to assist with fumi
eating corn or other grains for any
farmers who will get the materials.
Little corn has been made in Clar-
cndon County so let us save what we
have. This treatment will also kill
rates that remain in the crib.
Cotton Stalks Being Destroyed
On a trip Friday the following far
mers were observed to destroying
their cotton stalks: II. II. Gentry, A.
j. Plowden, The Wilson Farm, I. Y.
Eadon. Numerous others are doing
likewise, these were merely seen in
driving along the roads on this par
ticular day.
We can not too strongly urge upon
our farmers to keep at this good work
with q vim. However, l wish to eau
ton about one thing. 1t has been
noted that in some cases the stalks
are not thoroughly destroyed. If
they are left so that numerous green,
tender shoots put out, best results
will not be obtained as the wccvils
will continue to feed upon these ten
der shoots. Uproot or bury them
thoroughly.
Fair Yield of Cotton on This Farm
In talking with A. S. Rawlinson re-
Gently l was told that he had picked
Is five-hundred bales Of cotton from
35 acres this year. While not big
yield by any means this is,by far the
best record that ! know of for this
vicinity in 1922. 1t will be recalled
that Mr.. Rawlnson was one of those
farmers who attempted to do syste-
matte dusting. The heavy rains inter-
fcred to such an extent that Mr.. Raw
linson was unable to carry his dusting
throug has he should have and as he
expected to do. Mr.. Rawlinson states
that he confidently that without dust
he would not have made fxe bales.
Mr.. Rawlinson's machine and dust
probably cost him not to exceed $3.50,
and the machine is still almost as
good as new being used so little.
Did the right kind Of poisoning pay
in this case?

The Marketing of Hogs

At present hogs are bringing a very
nice price on the markets, and many
are predicting cheaper pork little
later when the West begins selling in
earnest We have in hand enough to
make up half to two thirds of a car,
and would be glad to get together
enough more to make out the car.
If you have any fat hogs for sale get
in touch with me and let us arrange
to ship car in the near future.
OF course, can not tell what the
market may do, but as stated, the
price is fairly good now and if your
hogs are ready it may be good
time to dispose Of them.

Sweet Potatoes

Do not let sharp frost catch your
sweet potatoes still in the ground if
1t can be avoided. This will make
them more likely to rot, either in the
curing house or nthe bank. IF by
any means this should happen though,
be sure to 20 in and cut the vines
at once. This prevents the frost bite
from passing from the vines to the
roots and will lessen the danger.
| hope greater care will be used in
digging and handling our crop Of po-
tatoes this year than has been custo-

Radio Station for Australia

Melbourne, June i4.-Thc prelimi
Eary work Of establishing the nam
moth Australian radio station for di.
rect communication with Great Brit.
;in has been begun.
The substations for overseas traffic
Will be about three times as powerful
"sany European station today. 1t will
take two years before the central and
feeder stations are completed. As n
rormal performance the chief station
will be able to speak direct over 12 900
miles for the greater part of an
working day.
Receiving and sending stations to
correspond will be built in Canada
during the same period. The plant for
the main station will be imported from
England, but the plaEt for the feeder
stations will be manufactured in Aus
tralia, one for each of the states.
The combined cost of all these sta
tions will be about $5,O0O,OOO. The
main station will consist of trans
mitter and receiver terminal 80 miles
apart, the latter including "a towers
each 800 feet high spread over a
square mile.
The wireless rates will be one-third
less than the present cable rates to
Europe. 9

For BoIr weevil Control [
Machines and Poisons Must be TestA
ed in sPractice Before
Endorsement.

Clemson College, June 15.--Many
manufacturers and inventors of boil
weevil machines and poisons are un-
der the impression that all they have
to do is to bring their products to
Clemson College and have them look
ed over and that if they look right
Clemson will then endorse them. Not
so, says Prof. A. F. Conradi, Ento-
mologist, who advises that no poison
or other material or machines of any
kind could be tested in such a brief
time and such a superficial manner,
and that an endorsement from Glenn
son College under such circumstances
would not be worth the paper on
which it were written.
A material or machine may look
we'll and behave well in operation.
For example, a square picker may
pick up paper wads and peanut hulls,
but that does not prove it's efficiency
as square collecting machine under
cotton field conditions. Such appa-
ratus must be tried Systematically
throughout the season and the num-
Der of additional pounds of seed cot
ton determined before we are JUS
titled to judge with any degree of
confidence.
Increased Yield Real Test of Merit
A material may spray well and
may stick like pitch to a pine tree,
but that fact carries with it no as
surance whatever that the material
has practical value in the cotton
field. 1t may kill weevils in confine-
ment or even in the field under GER
tain conditions, but what we want is
additional seed cotton at harvest
time. When any machines or ma
terial prove their ability to profitably
increase seed cotton, then we will not
hesitate to endorse them. Parties
desiring to have materials tested
must bear in mind therefore that a
carefully conducted test requires
some time, and that until the merits
of a proposition can be clearly de-
termined no endorsement need be
looked for.

We feel no small degree of satisfac-

gret that some of our best friends
could not he invited for the reason
would lie an easy matter to get 900
attendants upon such function, and
our regret is that we could not enter

we could under the circumstances, and
we desire to thank each one who
came. 1t is manifest that 48O peo-
pie, all with determination to boost,
can make an enterprise go. We are
confident that the canning factory is
now on the road to an enviable sue
cess. At the gathering yesterday the
stockholders voted to increase the cap
ital stock from ten to twenty thousand
dollars. In fact eleven thousand has
already been subscribed and permis.
sion to go to the twenty thousand dol
lar mark was given. The plans up to
the present have been carried for
ward, not by one man, but by the di-
rcctors of the concern, men who have
vision and good Judgment. None Of
the vital steps have been taken with
out the endorsement of Paul f. Will

are today upon sound basis. 1t is
