Mr. Bright Williamson, a promi mart banker and farmer of Darling flab, and John M. Napier, Count} Jgent of Darlington County fount I'teuLle with potash in that count; cntiy and reported the matter t< Clestson College. Prof. C. P. Black voQ, Agronomist, and Mr. J. L aw. Plant Pathologist, went imme dhfcriy to Darlington and Fl0renc< Cnantiea where they met Dr. W. W (Braer, Chief of the Office of Tobac mm and Plant Nutrition Investigation; C?rmittee. The three studied th< sfixiation in tfre fields of Darlington Wbrence, and Dillon Counties. They agreed that the very errati< masons have caused poor crop con dQgras in parts of Florence Count; HULn sumo nave cixvucvudij ?vma lfated to potash. In Darlingior tihnty, however, where Trona Pot oft from Searl's Lake, California fotehased thru a Charleston broker wm used very serious injuries were dfcerved on a number of farms. '3he CIem son and Government ex nts were convinced from field exonoations that this Trona Potast responsible for the trouble. Thouwmmds of acres of crops in Darlingtor tmsre been destroyed.

Upon' visitng the section it was found that :hinch bugs were really doing prety serious damage and gave promse of very serious damage in the lear future if something was net lone to check ' their progress. The jug was found to be in practically ill the corn of that section. In or ler to reach all the farmers in tne nindmum of time a meeting was scheduled for the next day at moon. This meeting was held in one of the leavily infested pieces of -com. A>out twenty interested negro farm3T3 assembled promptly at the meetng hour and a talk was made to ;hem instuctmg them in chinch bug ighting. Mr. Foster assisted in the neeting. This is the first outbreak of chinch )ugs that has ever occurred in this lection. That accounts for the alarm t spread. It is found that after a section has suffered from the ravages of this pest once and instruction s given regarding control measures :hat that particular section is never lysterical over chinch bugs again. Phey find that by burning hedges tnd ditches off in the winter and nakihg proper disposition of the inJested stubble lands as soon as barresting is over that the pest can be effectively controlled.
