Value of Community Cooperation il
Cotton Growing

Several years ago the Agronomy
Division of Clemson College realized
the value Of community cooperation
in cotton growing and inaugurated
work along this line in several coun-
ties of the state. The work will be
further developed next season, as on
aid in fighting the boil wccvil.
Community cotton growing is the
planting of one good varict ychosen
by the growers Of a community and
further Improvement by seed sclcc-
ton each year.
One Of the beneficial results to be
obtained from this plan is the dis
carding Of inferior varieties, or so
called varieties, which are being
grown in South Carolina, and which
cause a large part of the cotton crop
to be of low quality.
1t is the common belief that
man yfarmcrs that variety runs out
after having been grown for several
years; but if proper seed selection
is maintained, the variety should be
improved both in yield and in quality
and become adapted to local condi-
tions. The so-callcd running out Of
varieties is due chiefly to crossing
Of varieties in fields close together
and to mixin gof seed Of different
varieties at public gins.
These difficulties may be overcome

variety and grow il exclusively. This
would result in the production Of a
more uniform and better quality
staple that would sell at a premium,
for buyers are fast demanding great
cr uniformity in length and quality
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1922-11-29

and are filling to pay for those
things.
Earliness, prolificiness, uniformity
and length of staple and high per-
centagc of lint are some of the quail
ties sought in producing desirable
cotton for growing under boil wcevil
conditions.
Cooperative Growing Lessons
Wecvil Damage
When many varieties are planted
in community, some are earlier
fruited than others and the weevils
will have multiplied on the earlier
fruiting cotton and immigrate to the
later fruiting varieties in such num-
bers as practically to destroy the
crop.
The variety which begins 70 D.oom
first is not necessarily the best, for
there are three distinct factors in
carliness. These factors are ()
time at which cotton begins to bloom,
(2) the rapidity with which blooms
appear after blooming starts (3)
length of time required for fruit to
develop after bloom opens.
A great many people have over
looked the second and third points
and have judged the earliness of cot
ton entirely on the basis of time it
begins to bloom. Actually, points
two and three arc more important
than point one and should be care
fully considered in choosing the va
riety for carliness.
In the final analysis high yields
and better quality at reduced cost
per acre arc desired,
Varieties Recommended for Adoption
According to tests such varieties
as King, Half and Half, Simpkins,
and Cooke have shown undesirable
qualities and are not to be recon-
mended
The following varieties which have
given best results for South Carolina
conditions, are recommended for
community adoption.
1. Short staple varieties. Clevc-
land Big Boil on wilt-'rce land,
Dixie Triumph on wilt-infested land
2. Long staple yarieties.--Web

Impacted Crop Crop B0tmd)


In general two immediate causes
may be given for birds becoming
crop bound. Cd The thin muscular
walls may be paralyzed either through
ovcrdistention with dry grain or
through some disease, as cholera anA
diptheria. (2) The opening into The
lower portion of the esophagus may
become clogged by long straws. fca-
theirs or other substances. In either
case, the crop fails to empty itself
while the bird continues to eat until
the crop is greatly distcndcd and
packed solid.
lmpactcd crop is common disease
of poultry. A large number of things
this trouble. 1t is probable that the
real cause lies in low vitality due to
improper feeding and indigestion.
Every poultryman knows that very
often fowls will eat large quantities
of hay, straw, strings, feathers, etc,
without showing the least incon-
vcnicnce. If the digestive organs arc
in the proper health and tone they
will usually take care of any over
loading Of the crop. 1t is only when
the tone fthc digestive organs have
been lowered by improper feeding,
housing, or by some disease, that the
crop fails to perform it's usual func-
ton. Occasionally case Of impac-
ton may properly be attributed to
overlooking the crop with ndigcs~
tiblc matter Such cases will occur
only rarely and sporadically. If
many crop-bound birds appear in the
flock, it may be taken as certain thst
osmething more fundamental is the
cause.
Symptoms.-Thc first symptom is
loss Of appetite or an effort of the
bird to swallow without being able
to do so. The crop is seen to very
large and much distcndcd with con-
tents which are more or less firmly
packed together. IF permitted to
continue, the conditions becomes ag-
gravatcd, the brca thing difficult, and
death may result.
Trcatment,-If large number of
crop-bound birds occurs in q flock,
it should be taken as a sign that
something is wrong in the manage
mcnt Measures should be taken to
correct errors in feeding and thus
give the bird more vigorous digcs-
ton. In such epidemcs other evi-
dences of Indigestion are usually
present, and the particular treat
ment fthe flock will depend largely
on these other symptoms. In general
the birds should not be fed too much,

Winter Care of Bees

1t is time to put bees into winter
packing cases. In making these pre-
parations for winter care of bees
there are three very important things
to be remembered, says L. S. Pre-
vost, Extension Specialist in Bee
Keeping. First, the packing cases
should be made of good seasoned Ium-
bcr and the packing material should
be thoroughly dry. Second, there
should be good queen that will be
ready for work early in the spring.
Third, there should be a sufficient
amount of good quality honey for
winter stores.
In regard to winter stores, bee
keepers are cautioned that the sum-
mer and fall honey may crystalizc
rapidly and bees can not use it for
food when in this condition. There
fore, where the honey has crystal
lized, winter feeding must then be
done.
If there is occasion to open the
hives at this time Of the year, be
sure to select the warm portion of
the day; otherwise, there is danger
of chilling the bees and losing the
stand.

Beware of Improperly Certified
POtatOcS

Buyers of certified Irisk potatoes
should be careful to insist that the
potatoes they get are certified for
seed. Some of the growers of pota-
toes for table stock have formed as
sociations and certify the potatoes
sold under their name. Such pota-
toes are certified for domestic con
sumption only, and it can readily be
understood that such certificate

More than a billion and half
pounds of butter was produced in the
United States during 1921, according
to the United States Department of
Agriculture. This is an increase of
10 1-2 per cent over the production in
1920. Consumption increased moro
than production by 20,0O0,00O pounds,
the difference being taken care of by
imports and butter withdrawn from

dairymen should sow more barley this
year. BY growing corn, barley or oats.
the dairymen can mix a good balanced

Barley contains 9 per cent of pro-
