L~IME.SULPHUR SPRAY

Clemson College.-Requests have

says Prof. A. F. Conrad entomolo-

circular 80 of the South Carolina
Experiment Station gives full direc-
tions for constructing the boiling
plant and also for boiling the spray.
These directions are accompanied by
a cut on the front of the circular
which can be followed intelligently
by anyone desiring to build a steam
boiling outfit. After the boiler has
once been provided for, any intelli.
gent person can easily construct the
steam boiling outfit without any per.
sonal assistance whatever. The cir.
cular above referred to also gives di.
rettions for boiling the spray over
fire.

have are those that market cooper
atively.
In accordance with the provisions
Of the War Finance Corporation
Act, and the rulings Of the Corpor-
alton, advances for agricultural
purposes, including the breeding,
growing, fattening and marketing
of livestock will be made to cooper
alive marketing associations based
on their iapital stock and the Sc
curity offered. Where the security
is ample, advances would probably
run from eight to ten times the
capital stock.
The capital stock subscription
must be paid in cash or in bankable
notes and the said stock pays a fix
ed annual dividend Of 8 per cent.
After this dividend is paid, and the
necessary running expenses of the
Association deducted, any surplus
remaining is rebated back to the
shippers in proportion to the
amount that their shipments bear
to the total amount handled by the
Association. In other words, the
service is on a cost basis.

WEEVILS LIVE IN ICE!
Yes, But it Doesn't Mean Anything
Saws Conrad.

Says Conrad.
Clemson College.-Is it true that
the boil weevil has been placed be.
tween two blocks of ice and was
alive after all the ice had melted?
This is a question asked frequently
of Prof. A. F. Conrad, entomologist,
and authority on boil weveil matters
Prof. Conradi's answer to a recent
inquirer should be of interest and
information to all, as it throws real
light on the matter.
The Answer.
That is very likely true. Another
fad is to bore a hole in a block of
ice in which a boil weevil is then
Theoretically sealed for twenty-fou1
hours. Why should the experiment,
tor be surprised that the beetle is
still alive? Melting ice has a tenn.
perature Of approximately 80 degrees
Fahrenheit, and a boil weevil seal.
ed within or between ice experiences
no radiation or evaporation and is
therefore not in the least affected by
weather changes.
Pa~rtridges, rabbits, and other
small game frequently seek shelter
under the snow in cold winter wealth
er. Ice foes and snow drifts are
not infrequently resorted to by mar
in the North for temporary shelter
in cold stormy weather.
We have successfully kept weevils
and other insects in brine chambers
and ice boxes under dry atmospheric
conditions, but we have never sue
ceeded in keeping them for prolong-
ed periods in ice boxes unprotected
against moisture. The weevil, like
people, responds much more easily
to radical changes in cool weather
than to uniform conditions that OBJ
tain in an ice box.
Putting the weevil in a block of
ice is more than twenty years old.
It was done in Texas when the wee
vii first arrived, and as the weevil
migrated eastward, this practice con-
tinued to be one of the fads in new
ly infested territory year after year.
The test has no practical value
whatever, as there is no semblance
to the natural changeable conditions
that obtain in the open.

THE LIVESTOCK
MARKETING PROBLEM

Clemson College.-There has been
considerable dissatisfaction express
ed recently by the farmers regarding
the market offered them for their
livestock, particularly in sections
where a great many farmers expect
to be compelled to sell their animals
before the fence law goes into effect
January 1. Consequently when live.
stock extension work is being pushed
the farmer is apt to answer: "What
i need is a market for what I have
il don't need more to be left on my
hands," Just so, but just why can't
this livestock be marketed.
South Carolina has never produced
anywhere near all her pork and beef,
and she has paid high freight on ali
that has been shipped in. But, just
as long as an inferior grade of ami
mails is produced just that long will
prices of home stuff not be satisfac-
tory. Pork which will dress only
sixty per cent of live weight can not
compete with that dressing eighty
percent, nor can beef dressing forty.
five percent compete with that dress
ing sixty-fve percent.
Again, an analysis will show that
scrub cattle and hogs do not have
the weight in the high priced cuts.
We are just now getting to the place
where it is necessary to ship some of
our livestock and because we get
about one-half to two-thirds of the
price quoted by the big markets,
we r prone to feel that We have
had a raw deal. As q matter OF
fact, we get about our just dues. W.
forget that the big markets are gov.
erned by high grade granted cattle
and hogs from the corn belt and
western states. When we produce
enough livestock that much of il
must be shipped, III farmers will
begin to see that the good animals
is appreciated and will straightway
begin to grade up their herds, fol
the quickest way to reach the aver
age man is via the pocketbook.
On the other hand, just 50 lone
as the local market will take care OF
all that is produced, the grading UP
will not proceed very fast. The fac,
is that 1t is very hard to get high
quality beef or pork at ~ southern
meat markets, many of which handle

BOIL WEEVu
IN 1922

Clemson College.-Poisoning cot
ton with calcium arsenate may be
expected to pay.
l. When used on high yielding
land.
2. When weevil infestation is
heavy.
8. When the poison is properly
applied according to a correct sche-
.dule.
4. When weather conditions are
reasonably favorable for poisoning.
Farmers planning to poison this
season should secure a copy of Cir
cular 1852, U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, Poisoning the Cotton Boil
Weevil," which may be obtained
from the Extension Service, Clemson
College; the Delta Laboratory, Tai
lulah, La; or the u. S. Department
Of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.,
advises Prof. A. F. Conrad, ento-
mologist. This circular contains less
than three pages of print, but the
information is to the point, and no
farmer should undertake poisoning
before studying it and making sure
that he understands thoroughly eve
ry step in the operation. Farmers are
cautioned that poisoning is a serious
and complicated operation, and that
no one should undertake it unless he
has determined to do it correctly.
Many failures result from improper
application, due to the lack of eff
fort on the part of the farmer to
inform himself.
No one should be disappointed at
failure the first year because poison
ing must be learned just as we have
had to learn other processes in farm
ing. Those having had no experience
are cautioned to go easy and not
undertake too much the first season.
Poisoning, like most farm opera
tions, is not fool-proof. While it has
been demonstrated that the weevil
can be poisoned p~roftably with prop
err methods and machines and under
favorable weather conditions for
poisoning, the farmer is also caution
ed that unfavorable conditions and
improper methods will undoubtedly
cause complete failure.
Regardless of how much poison
ing the farmer intends to do, soil
building should be kept up vigorous
ly. Any successful poisoning pro-
gram is dependent on high yielding
land. There is no evidence that
poisoning will pay on poor land. It
is no more expensive to poison an
acre of bodybuilding land than to
poison an acre of poor land.
Any n intending to poison
should begin right nov and get in
formation and study it hard and
seriously, and should take up the
matter with the county agent so as
to enable the Extension service to
keep in touch and assist in every
u,ox, nore;k1o

FOR LIVESTOCK OWNERS

Beaufort, Feb. 9.-The organic
ing of the South Carolina Cooper
alive Livestock Association will
bring financial assistance to the live
| stock owners of the State and will
place this industry in a healthy
condition.
The Association is incorporated
under the provisions of the South
Carolina Cooperative Marketing
Act of 1921. 1t is a non-proft, CO.
operative marketing association,
with a capital stock of $4,000,
divided into 500 shares Of a par
value of 500 each. The capital
stock must be subscribed to provide
a working capital and also as an
initial fund for making loans and
buying livestock from the members;
which will in turn be sold to feed
ers and to packers, in short, where
ever the best market can be obtain
ed. 1t has been proven that cooper
alive marketing through an associa-
ton will not only result in a better
price to the producer, but will also
raise the grade Of that which is pro-
duced.
A further purpose of the associa-
ton is to stabilize the market for
livestock; to furnish a medium of
exchange between the buyer and
seller; and to make loans o. ad-
! vances with livestock as collateral
to those who may for any reason do
not care to dump their livestock on
the present demoralized market.
These loans will be made to enable
the farmer to hold his stock for a
better market; to increase his herd;
to raise the grade; and to get feed
ers to fatten and sell at q future
date; or in any way that pertain to
this particular line Of industry.
Cooperative marketing has prov
ed very successful in the past; in
fact, the richest counties that we

only an inferior grade of animals for
slaughter.
The moral is that the market is
generally as good in proportion as
the quality Of animals sold, and If
the farmer will improve the average
quality, the price will take care Of
itself.

COOL WEATHER WILL
BOOST PRICE OF HOGS,
SHURLEY PREDICTS

Hot weather of the past week with
increased receipts of spring pigs I'M
suitable for packer use, has caused a
reaction and a decline in prices, says
the Shurley stock yards report this
week. The drop has been as great
as a dollar a hundred and Chicago
buyers are hoping for heavy receipts
at 50 hundred before Nov. 1. Jerome
Shurley, manager of the local yards,
differs from this opinion, saying that
with cooler weather, good hogs should
at least hold firm in price.
Prices paid last week were as fol-
lows: Lights, 100 to 225 pounds, So;
light Workers and pigs, $S.00@8.50;
sows, S76S; stays, S405. The calf
market was a dollar lower, with the

GRAIN PRICES

{Afarkets by Lamson Bros. & Co,

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 9.-Grains were
irregular, wheat closing fractionally
lower, while all deliveries of corn and
May oats finished higher. Liverpool
cables were strong and there was some
wheat worked for export but general
demand was restricted by reduced pur-
chasing power on the part of several
European nations and the domestic
shipping situation. Exporters appear
to want considerable grain in nearby
position but little is available. The
government report, issued at the close,
lowered the spring wheat yield TO $685.
100000 bushels and all wheat to 810,-
100000 bushels. Some of the strength
in corn was due to belief that the re-
port would show a sharp lowering in
the corn prospect, but the condition
was given at 1874 against 1876 last
month and the crop 1883 million bush
els versus 2,875 million bushels. The
yield, however, will be well under last
years and with heavy farm consump-
tion indicated this winter, corn is re-
garded as in a strong position. The
oats crop was lowered, being estimated
at 1920 million versus 1885 million
bushels last month We believe con-
ditions are gradually shaping them
selves for higher markets.

Agriculture is at the mercy of those

the farms, which will give the farmer
