War on Rats and Weevils.

Clemson College, Sept.-Septem-
Der is the month to start the great
annual fall cleaning of farm build
lngs. This every farmer should get
once a year as he winds his watch
one a year as he winds his watch
once day. First attention should
be given to the barns, stables and
granaries, so that they may not be-
come great rat winter resorts.
Clean the cribs and bins thorough
ly, and make them as nearly rat
proof as possible, advises Prof. A. r.
Conrad, entomologist. The space
below the floor possibly is full of
chaff and other rubbish, making it
a most delightful place for the rats
to spend the winter. Make it a
point to abolish as many hiding
places of this kind as possible.
The corn weevil, another pest
which should be fought vigorously,
starts in the corn field. He thrives
best on corn that has loose-fitting
shucks, and besides offering protec-
ton the shucks also enable these pests
| to ride to the crib with the great
est possible comfort. Do not sweep
the empty wagon at the crib when
| it is covered with weevils unless you
burn the sweepings. To kill these
weevils that are carried to the crib
requires fumigation. Before fumlgat-

son KILLS FATHER
AFTER BEING SHOT
Fatal Family Quarrel-ioung Man,
1t is Alleged, Resents Furnishing
of Smaller Children.

Laurens, Sept. 11.-A fatal family
quarrel occurred five miles southwest
Of Cross Hill, Laurens county, this
afternoon, when John Boyd, aged
wenty-three, was probably mortally
wounded by his father, William B.
Boyd, and in turn the son killed his
father, shooting him three times with
a pistol. John Boyd, the son, was
shot. in the abdomen with heavy
charge of shot, according to the
Laurens officers who returned from
the. scene of the tragedy tonight at
q o'clock. John Boyd is not en-
pected to live through the night,
according to attending physicians.
Ehe shooting took place in the pub
INC road in front of the Boyd home.
Officers state that John Boyd was
still conscious when they left the
scene at 6 o'clock and was attempt
ing to reload his gun when he open
ed fire on the father.
The officers say that one of the
Boyd boys stated that the father
was Furnishing some of the smaller
children when John Boyd inteferred.
The elder Boyd then turned his wrath
on the son, got his gun and invited
John into the yard or road for set
Aement. Within a few minutes the
shooting occurred, it is alleged. The
coroner is holding an inquest for Will
ham Boyd tonight.
He was about fifty years old and
had wife and twelve children, John,
who is fatally shot, being the Oldest
child. Boyd was a farmer and lived
at Cane Greek.

WINTER FORAGE CROPS.
Feed Hogs and Soils with Cover
Crops.

Clemson College.-Ihe extent TO
which forage crops and pastures
supply feed for hogs will determine
the amocnt of profit made IN the
hog business, says D. T. Herman,
extension swine specialist, basing
his statement on the experience of
the most successful hog raisers in
this state.
Since there are no permanent pas
lures that supply feed for the winter
and spring months, we must turn to
forage crops for this part Of the year.
The crops to be used are determined
largely by soil types, and for this
reason we find Piedmont farmers
using crops different from those used
in the Coastal Plains section. Sep
tember is the time for planting all
crops for winter forage, and imme-
diate attention should be given to
them.
In the Coastal Plains section rye,
or oats, in a mixture with hairy
vetch and rape is about the best win
ter pasture we have. Rye Is pre-
ferred to oats by most men because
it gives more growth during the win
ter months. A good mixture of
these three can be made of pecks
of rye, l peck of vetch, and s pounds
of rape. Rye will grow on almost
any kind of soil and vetch will be
all right if it is properly inoculated,
but rape requires a good rich soil.
For this season it is best to pick a
good fertile plot, work up good
seed bed, and inoculate for hairy
vetch' before planting this mixture.
Best results are obtained by planting
between September 10 and October
Is, although earlier and later plant
ings are often satisfactory.
In the Piedmont section bur clover
supply such excellent pasturage for
the winter months that it is unneces-
sary to plant anything else for these
months. Both of these, however, be-
come too coarse for hogs by the
middle of March and it is necessary
to have some other crop for the
spring months. Five pecks of oats,
one peck of vetch, and 8 pounds of
rape fill this place admirably. On
velvet beans or soy beans followed
by oats or vetch.
Second Year.-Oats for grain, or
oats and vetch hay followed by les
pedeza, which is seeded in February
or March in the oats. Lespedeza
makes summer pasture and reseeds
in the fall. If let go to seed every
other summer following the small
grain, it will not need reseeding.
With the present high prices of
vetch and clover seeds, we can use
the Oregon spring vetch instead of
hairy vetch, in South Carolina. Plant
ing vetch or clover in part of the
rye or oats following cotton is sug-
gested also to see if it can be told
where they were planted, in the COM
parative effect on the corn, potatoes,
or whatever crop follows next spring.

WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY
NEEDS WINTER COVER CROPS
Winter Cover Crops Reduce Fertilizer
Bills, by Retaining Nitrogen in
the Soil.

One bushel of rye or two bushels
of oats per acre seeded in cotton
field will save 40 to so pounds of
nitrogen from teaching out this next
winter. Twenty pounds of vetch seed
ed per acre mixed with the rye or
oats will add about so pounds OF
nitrogen to each acre from the God
given air, or the combination of rye
and vetch will save and add about
80 pounds of valuable nitrogen per
acre if cut and plowed into the soil
next spring for corn, potatoes or
other crops which may be used in
rotation with the cotton. A good
crop of oats and vetch turned under
is equivalent to 500 pounds of nitrate
of soda per acre.
If the dry cotton stalks are cut
up with a stalk cutter and knocked
down in the green growing crop the
boil weevil cannot hibernate there as
there is too much moisture for him.
He, needs a dry winter hotel where
he can evaporate moisture from his
body ard loose at least one-third of
his body weight. He can't do this
in green growing winter cover crops
if the CRY weeds and grass are also
destroyed in and around the cotton
field.
The winter cover crop if plowed
under or pastured also adds organic
matter, the corner stone of soil fer
ti1ity and the food for the germ life
of the soil. When this material de-
Gays it gives the dark colored stuff
we call humus without which we can
not have a fertile soil. We can't
