Scaly-Lcg Mites of.Chicks.
Clemson Notes. }

This mite commonly remains on
the feet, burrowing through tho
scales and causing their enlargement.
A crust Of loose tissue is formed
above the burrows. and intense Itch
ing results. When scaly-lcg is left
untreatcd the feet often become bad
ly distorted, and in some cases the
fowls can scarcely walk or get up to
tho perch. Controlling scaly-leg Is
by soaking the legs in warm, soapy
water to loosen the scales, and then
applying kerosene oil on the leg,
with care not to get 1t on the feath-
ers. Treatment should bc immediate
when the disease Is discovered.

Boil Weevils Work IN Wet Weather.

GU. S. Department Of Agriculture
Press Service.)
If you expect to whip tho boil wee
vii In a fair fight you have got to
show as much energy as he does
which means that, though tho opera
ton may be both difficult and un-
pleasant, poisoning must be done,
even when the plants are wet and
the ground muddy, so says the United
States Department Of Agriculture
with regard to poisoning tho wecvil
with calcium arsenate. The depart
ment has found that, during the crit
:cal stage, tho poisoning should be
dcne at intervals Of about four days.
THO or three applications, made in
good weather, may have got the wee
Wis under control Then there comes
rainy spoil and the farmer lets the
time for poisoning pass while he is
waiting for fair weather. But that
Is exactly tho time when the wceyil
increase SO rapidly that the control
already gained is lost. In that event
the wecvil inflicts about as much
damage as If no poisoning had been
done, and the farmer loses, in addi-
ton, what he has spent in poisoning
operations. The only way to p"cvent
that sort Of result is to let wet wea-
Tier Interfere as little as possible
with poisoning operations. Stick to
the schedule, the department says,
regardless Of weather conditions.
The department realizes, Of course,
that poisoning cannot be done in the
pouring rains, but the farmer. the
specialists urge, should take auvant-
age OF the earliest opportunity to get
back into the field after the rain, that
he should make every effort to get
the cotton again busted regularly,
even though fair weather does not
seem certain. He can afford, they
say, to put on poison even in unset
tied weather. 1t may be washed off
again shortly; but, on the other
hand, the weather, even when it looks
most threatening, may stay fair long
enough to allow weevil control to op-
crate. Every farmer, it is pointed out,
must expect to lose some poison by
rain. but the operation is sufficiently
profitable to justify it.

About Pullman Car Mileage.
dispatch from Chicago says:

a dispatch from Chicago says:
The Pullman car mileage in 1921
averaged four and Il half round trips
daily to the moon, which is 23S,S4O
miles from the earth, according to
a statistician Of the Pullman Com
pany. The mileage averaged eight
and half trips to the sun, which Is
92,900,0O0 miles distance, according
to the statement.
The mileage reported for the year
was 709,572,465 miles, which was
declared equivalent to encircling the
earth at the equator eighty-eight
times each day, or once every sixteen
minutes and twenty seconds. Each
car was said to have averaged
yearly run Of 118,376 miles, or ap-
proximately five trips around the
globe.
Pullman passengers the COM
pany reported, rode 11,229,406
miles In 1921, or a car ride Of 107
miles for every man, woman and
child in the United States. If a new
Eorn babe started this trip and trav-
cled at the rate Of 80 miles an hour
without stopping, ho would be 49,
or years old when the porter brush

"The average daily mileage was
100000 miles, or 91,275 miles an
hour, and 1,520 miles per minute.

Poison Wccvils Early-COmncncc rs
Cotton Begins to Square.

(Clemson College Bulletin.)
Clemson College, June 80. = Tho
general recommendation Is to start
cotton busting with calcium arsenate
when from 10 to Is per cent Of the
cotton squares have been punctured
by the weevil. In the average year
this condition would arise after the
first generation Of weevils have
emerged from the squares, but this
year we have most unusual condi-
tions, states Prof. A. r. Conrad. en-
t0mologist, in advising earlier poi
soning, because Of the heavy weevil
infcstation.
We have had practically four mild
winters, the last winter being espe-
cially mild, enabling the boil weevil
to pass the winter most successfully.
AT this time we have a condition in
this state which in normal years
would occur month later. The
wcevils in some fields are sufficiently
numerous to puncture practically
every square that forms, and for this
reason the first application Of poison
is recommended when tho cotton has
set from three to five squares. after
which the regular schedule as here
tofore recommended Is followed.
(Attention is called in this letter
from Clemson College to the Tallulah
Laboratory articles, which arc print
cd above, and hence omitted from
the body Of the Clemson letter.

row Is the time to be keeping up
with the amount and cost OF labor
on farms. 1t is not too late for
farmer to begin keeping a labor rec
ord on his crops for the year, as ho
can remember fairly we'll the plant
ing operations and record them, and
from now until the end Of the season
keep the record as he goes, says w.
G. Jensen, assistant professor Of ag-
ronomy.
Forms. No special forms arc nee
easary. One can rule off columns in
Il simple record book for tho purpose
or else use loose sheets.
Labor OF Crops The headings Of
tho columns for each crop should be
as follows: Date. Operation. Man,
Hours. Horse, Hours.
The work should be reduced to q
one-man, one-mule basis-that is, If
a man and two mules worked ten
hours, enter ten man-hours and TWEEN
ty mule-hours.
Labor Oh Livestock Tho time re-
quircd to care for work. stock and
livestock may be kept with the same
form as above, but only the column
OF operation is omitted.
Applying the Labor Record Fig
u:cs.-rhe record will show how
many hours Il crop or herd of COWS
takes This varies exceedingly, cot
ton requiring about 100 man-hours,
apples 175 man-hours and oats 10
man-hOurs per acre, while the care
Of dairy cow requires about $50
man-hours per year. Whatever num-
Der OF hours is found is placed in pro-
portion to the total hours Of labor as
X IS to the total cost Of labor, X be-
ing the cost Of labor on the crop or
class of stock that one is considering.
A simple case will illustrates: If
farm puts in 10000 man-hours, 5000
being on cotton, and the total labor
cost is $4,000, then 5000 is to 10000
as Y is to 5000, or $3.50, the cost Of
labor on cotton.

|. They show up the efficiency of
the most costly factor Of production
iii the case OF crops, and one of the
more important factors Of production
in the case Of meat and milk.
In Missouri, Minnesota and New
York extensive research work has
shown that horse labor costs vary
from cents TO about IL cents per
hour, depending upon the section OF
farms in 1918 showed the average
cost OF labor on one acre Of cotton to
be $33.91, the average for South Car
olina counties being slightly above
this. Labor makes up about G5 per
cent OF the cost Of production in the
case Of corn, and about - per cent
in the case OF milk
=. Labor is also the factor Of cost
on farm that can be reduced most
easily, this by using better men, by
selecting better implements, and also
by increasing ,he efficiency Of mule
labor.
3. Labor deserves special study,
because it is the factor Of production
concerning which we know least.

been accumulating records on tho
emergcnce Of the boil weevil from
nearly all Of the cotton States, and
arc finding universally, as we fore
custed some months ago, that the
number Of -wintcred weevils is
far greater than usual; In fact, In
many districts where accurate counts
havo been made it has been found
that we have in the fields now as
many wcevils as are ordinarily pres
cnt month later, when tho first
Summcr-brcd brood has started to
appear. With anything like normal
weather conditions this is going to
moan a tremendously rapid increase
i'll tho wcevil damage, and this will
have an important bearing on the
program to be followed by those US
ing calcium arScnatc for tho control
Of tho weevil
In the first place, ii should be re-
membered that we recommend start
ing poisoning when from ten to If
tocn per cent Of tho cotton squares
have been punctured by the wcevil.
AS general rule this condition does
not arise until after the newly bred
Wcevils have started to emerge from
the squares. This year, however, we
have found many fields where there
are already sufficient weevils present
to destroy practically all squares as
In oil
cotton will never start blooming un-
less tho wecvils are controlled, and
from the very offset so per cent or
moro Of the squares are punctured.
Under such conditions it is undoubt-
odly going to be necessary TO poison
earlier than ever before. or course,
there is no advantage in poisoning
tho cotton before the squares form,
as the weevils arc continuing to
emerge from Information during this
period, and furthermore they are do
ing tho crop no harm. However,
where such Il heavy infestation oc-
ours it will be advisable to make the
first application just rs soon as the
cotton starts sQuaring freely. or at
ABOUT the time the plants average
from four to five squares each. The
regular poisoning schedule should be
started at that time and continued
along the lines OF the usual recon-
mendations for controlling this early
iufrStation OF wcevils.
Another very imnOrtaut effect of
this heavy inrcstation will be felt la
ter in tho season When the wccviis
first emerge from hiberna,ion and
reach the cotton field they move
around very little as long aH they can
fud an ample supply OF unpuuCturcd
