THE PIN-HOLE OR THE
SHOT-HOLE BORER

Clemson College, Nov. 21.-Among
the most important steps in control
ling the pin-hole or shot-hole borcr
in shade and fruit trees is to clean
up thoroughly all the refuse mate
rial in the grove or in the orchard.
All prunings of every description
should be removed and burned.
These recommendation hold in
Gases where the pest has not yet
appeared, as we'll as in places where
trees are already infested. Careless
operation in even a healthy grove
or orchard during the summer will
attract the pests, and where refuse
is allowed to remain during seasons
when these pests are abundant, it
invariably leads to serious conse-
quenccs, warns Prof. A. f. Conradi,
Entomologist.
Where anyone experiences trouble
with pin-holc Of shot-hole borer on
shade trees at this time of the year,
we rccommendthat he write to the
Extension Service, Clemson College,
giving full information as to the
kind, size, and age of trees, the kind
OF soil where they are growing, and
whether on terraces or on washed
hill sides
In pruning the orchard special at
tcntion should be given to the borcr.
Heavily infested limbs that are hope
less should be entirely removed, and
where any trees are infested, they
should likewise be taken out. These
shot-hole borers have preference
for trees that have been weakened
by one or more of the following
causes:
l, Scale; 2, borers; 3, lack of
nourishment.
Examination for one or more of
these causes should be made and
proper treatment given. Extension
Circular 25, giving information for
treating insects and diseases, may
be had upon application.

ers to be thinking of the annual win
ter cleanup of the orchard for dis
case control. This should consist
of careful trimming with ,imme-
diate burning of the brush and other
trash, followed by a thorough appli-
cation of commercial or boiled lime
sulphur spray.
The Importance Of the spray in the
control of fungous pests has long. been
recognized but the Importance Of
pruning for the same purpose is of
ten overlooked, says DR.. C. A. Lud-
wig, Associate Plant Pathologist. On
this account special care should be
taken to remove all twigs and small
branches which are dead or cankered,
because the dead wood usually har-
bors destructive parasites. For sim
liar reason all trimmings should
be burned promptly. Often a para
site can live over the winter in the
twig or branch, even when it is off
the tree. Likewise, all decaycd or
rlummied fruit on or under the trees
should be rakcd together and burned.
Where trunks or large branches
are cankercd, it may not be practical
bic to cut them off. In such cases
the ,cankers can be chiseled out, talk
ing care to cut away an inch or so
of healthy wood to make sure that
every last bit of the parasite is re-
moved. Such cuts, and in fact all

for turkeys, the rains have killed
many of the little ones-b but one can
not help suspecting that had $4,000
farmers of South Carolina, who did
not strive successfully against the
weevilsa devoted time and solicita-
tious care to turkeys, the crop would
have been five to ten times larger
than it is.
"The State congratulates the farm
ers and their wives and daughters
who with diligence aad unrcmitting
attention have raised turkeys ard
now have them to sell at 10 cents a
ponnd--it hopes that they will re-
ceivc even better prices for them
but is it not singular that so little
of the energy and industry that were
not given to cotton production has
been diverted to turkeys? The cot
ton crop is "off" about 100000 bales
and turkeys are among the few class
es of ultimate consumers of boil wee
wills.
"Possibly, and probably, more in
telligence and perseverance are re-
quired to raise brood of turkeys
than to raise a half bale of cotton.
Anyway, ten turkeys weighing ten
pounds each, are worth in the mar
ket $40 and that is as much as a
third of bale of cotton fetches.-The
State.

EARLY VERSUS LATE
PLANTING OF COTTON

Clemson College, Nov. 21.-"We con-
tinue to advise planting cotton with
out delay in the spring, using early
varieties, and pushing the crop to
early maturity" says Prof. A. F.
Conrad, Entomologist, in answering
a number of farmers who, having
observed that in some instances the
weevil damages was worse in early
planted cotton this year than on late
planted cotton, have asked us in re-
gard to the advisability of planting
late hereafter hather than early.
The fact that infestation in sume
instances was heavier on an early
planted field may be accounted for
in tow ways, as follows, Prof. Con-
radi continues:
l. The weevil rarely occurs Uni
formerly over given section, farm or
field. The farmer will invariably find
that some spots are more heavily in
tested than others, and this accounts
for early cotton in some cases hav-
ing been more heavily infested than
late cotton.
z. In some sections, especially
in the Piedmont section, cotton plant
ing was greatly delayed on many
lclds, because of adverse weather
conditions, but due to the mild win
ter and the very early spring the
weevil began to come out of winter
quarters very early. The result was
that large number of the over
wintered wccvils died before cotton
began to square. A condition Just
like this may not occur again for
many years and, even if it did, there

During the first thirty-six day pc

CORN EXPORTS INCREASING

Exports Of corn from the United
States for the first eight months Of
1922 exceeded the exports for the en-
tire year 1921 by 2,4s8,743 bushels,
according to figures compiled by the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. The total exports for 1921

is no evidence that it would be worth
anything.
Comparatively few of the wcevils
that enter winter quarters in the fall
succeed in passing the winter and
puncture the squares the next spring.
Therefore cotton production amounts
to race between the cotton crop
and the time when wcevils become
abundant; or, in other words, it
amounts to an effort to get bolls
formed and hardened before the wee
wills become very abundant. Any op-
Grafton that delays planting and
maturing is dangerous, because the
squares and young bolls will be lost
later in the season by the increasing
numbers of weevils.
In short, there is no evidence at
hand that anything is gained by late
planting, but abundant evidence is
at hand that there may be much to
lose. We therefore advise planting
without delay when conditions have
become favorable, and we advise do
in gcverything possible and practical
BILE to keep the plants fruiting and
to hasten maturity.

FORAGE FOR PORK PRODUCTION

Clemson College, Nov. 21.-Foragc
is necessary for economical pork pro-
duction in the South. A recent gov
ernmcnt survey made in Illinois and
Iowa showed the average cost of pro-
ducing 100 pounds Of pork to be
$5.88. Over SO per cent of this cost
was for feeds, which cost about one
third as much as we have to pay for
them in South Carolina.
If we try to produce pork by the
same method, it is evident that our
profits will be very small, says +. G.

our climate is such that we may have

cheap pork.
In order to determine the exact

Results of Some Plant-to-Row Cotton
Breeding Work.

Mr.. E. E. Hall, Extension Plant
Breeding Specialist, and l in coop
Grafton with Mr.. d. l.. Tindal of near
Pinewood this year carried on plant
to-row cotton breeding test. II is
generally recognized that on wilt free
lands of this section that Cleveland
Big Boil is the best short staple cot
ton we have. The test was therefore
made with this variety of cotton.
The purpose of the test was tn de-
termine the highest yielding strain
or strains of Cleveland under our
conditions. The test consisted Of
O twenty rows, all grown under the
same conditions as nearly as possible.
may say here that this test patch
was planted rather late and in q
comparatively low place; the yields
are therefore lower than would have
been the case if the conditions had
not been SO adverse. However, we
!. were chiefly interested in the COM
{i}aaratively yields of the different
gins, as already stated.
6;Sa results fthis work arc very
S)al|S;5 and clearly demonstrate
SSSs SsSs Pie Of careful seed selection and
sytfing. l will not attempt to give
yields of every row, but only
#enough to show thc variation that
y there is in seed of the same variety
grown under the same conditions. The
cotton from these rows was all pick
ed at one time and carefully weighed
the yield per acre was calculated.
Notes were kept on earliness, type Of
plant, length of staple, etc.
The highest yielding row in the
plot produced at the rate of 1872 lbs.
produced at the rate Of 454 pounds per
acre making a difference of 438 lbs.
or difference in money value Of
$43.74 per acre. Seed were saved
from the five highest yielding rows
and the balance discarded. The aver
age yield of these five highest rows
was 856 pounds. The average of tie
rows not saved was $40 pounds. Lint
cotton from rows saved for seed
averages $20.70 more per acre than
that from those rows which were not
saved.
This work will be carried on from
year to year. We will have sufficient
seed fro mthe five highest yielding
rows to plant good sized increased
plots on Mr.. Tindal's farm next year.
Seed from certain of the highest yield
ing plants of most desirable type will
be planted in another plant-to-row
test in 1923. In this way we can in
a short time develop high yielding
strains of cotton.
These high yielding seed will then
be sold to other farmers in the COM
munity at moderate price with a
view to getting superior strain of
one variety generally used in a COM
munity. This will make it easier to
keep the seed pure and up to standard.
lfailcd to state that this cotton
was all busted with calcium arscnatc
and the entire plot average 700
pounds per acre.
These rows were checked and the
seed planted by hand in order to get
the same number Of pl"nts per row
and the same distance between plants.

room. Jane was glad to escape the
long row OF dcafening typewriters!
Only the homely girls stayed out
there. The girls In the little office
were jolly. They told her that Mr.,
Rogers always selected the most at
tractive girls for that office.
Then came James final promotion
to the position of private secretary
to Mr.. Rogers. This was Sle not so
much to her correct punctuation, an
to her cheerful remarks when she
found time to chat In dictation in
tervals. Jane would never forget
the day he said.

She had told him a little joke
Just a silly thing, but it amused him
$50 much that he forgot to dictate.

finally suggested.

1t was not long before Jane began
to wonder whether personality
meant brains or just snappy eyes
and a pretty mouth. However, II
was not for her to worry! Mr.
Rogers had said she. had personality
and her salary was raised notice
ably. She was to have an extra

Mr.. Rogers suggested that II
would be a good idea to go to the
country late-about in August. Tha,
would give Jane more time to save
more time for preparation and
more clothes. He even went so far
as to confess that he did not know
how he would manage the office
without her!
That was wonderful compli-

John Rogers. He owned half the
land in the South and the money he
manipulated made Jane dizzy. There
were some hints that these deals
were skidding chances that barely
kept within the law. but everyone
