Farmers'
Early Versos Late Planting ol
C nffnn
Clemson College-'-"We continue
to advise planting cotton
without delay in the spring,
using early varieties, and
pushing the crop to early maturity,"
says Prof. A. F. Conradi,
Entomologist*, in answering a
~ number of farmers who, having
observed that in some instances
the weevil damage was worse in
early planted cotton this year
than on late planted cotton, have
asked us in regard to the advisability
of olantin? late hereafter
rather than early.
The fact that infestation in
stftne instances was heavier on
an early-planted field may be accounted
for in two ways, as follows,
Prof. Conradi continues:
1. The weevil rarely occurs
uniformly over a given section,
farm or field. The farmer will
invariably find that some spots
are more heavily infested than
others, and this accounts for early
cotton in some cases having
been more heavily infested than
late cotton.
2. In some sections, especially
in the Piedmont section, cotton
planting was greatly delayed
on many fields, because of adverse
weather conditions, but
due to the mild winter and the
very early spring, the weevil began
to come out of winter quarters
very earlv. The result was that
a large number of the over-wintered
weevils died before cotton
began to square. A condition
just like this may not occur again
for many years and, even if it
did, there is no evidence that it
would be worth anything.
Comparatively few of the wee
vils that enter winter-quarters in
the fall succeed in passing the
winter and puncture the squares
the next spring. Therefore cotton.
production amounts to a race
between die cotton crop and the
time when weevils become
abundant; or, in other words, it
amounts to an e:fort to get bolls
formed and hardened before the
weevils become very abundant.
Any operation that delays plantins:
and maturing is dangerous,
because the squares and young
bolls will be lost later in the season
by the increasing number ot
weevils
In short, there is no evidence
pt 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 de
lay when conditions have become
favorable, and we advise
doing everything possible and
practicable to keet? the plants
fruitjng and to hasten maturity.
Get That Purebred Dairy Bull
Now
Clemson College?The two
reasons for so many unprofitable
cows in South Carolina are lack
of proper care and lack of jgood
breeding.
In the first place, on the average
farm cows are not cared for
properly. They are not fed the
proper amount of feeds and the
rations are not balanced. Besides
the cows are r.ot milked, fed and
watered at regular times; and, although
we have rather mild
winters, too little attention has
been given the proper houscing
of the milk cows, which are crea
tures of habit and do their best
only when given regular attention,
under conditions which
make for their comfort.
!a the second place, there are
being kept too many cows which
could*not be made profitable
even if given the best opportunity
by way of feed, care and treatment.
These cows are lacking
in breeding, individuality or ubil.(
ity. btnce very few farmers are
testing their cows to learn which
are the profit.makers.and which
are the hoarder*, ihe only way J

Section
to increase the producing ahilit>
of our dairy herds is through ihe
use of good purebred dairy bulls.
This is the season to breed the
cows for next fall calving. If the
money to buy a good bull is a
hindering factor in the cast\ it
will pay to sell enough cows to
pay for a gopd bull. Some of the
breed associations in this state,

have offered to give any farmer
a registered bull calf for the beet
value of the grade scrub bull he
is now using. There are twentv
or more breedings of burebred
dairy cattle in South Carolina
who can sell good young bulls
at reasonable prices.

SAFEGUARDING MILK SUPPLY
Form of Ordinance Drawn t<J Guide
Communities in Framing Practicable
Law.
(Prepared by the United State* Department
of Agriculture.)
In properly safeguarding the uillk
supply of a community, the enactment
of a suitable and enforceable law la
usually the first step, according to
reiinui <ii uepurunem uuneun bno, "A
Guide for Formulating a Milk Ordinance."
just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Milk, in its composition and natural
qualities, is a most useful and acceptable
food, but may acquire one form
?>r another of insanitary taint on its
way from the cow to the consumer}
and it is not always possible to require
either producers or distributor*
to observe all the precautions which
science lias shown to be necessary,
unless there is a law to back them up*
The public and officials of a city
realizing this need may sometimes, tfl
their zeal to make the new regulations
strict enough, go too far and insert
provisions that cannot rendily be enforced
or admliistered. Even health
department officials may not be familiar
with all phases of this subject,
unless they have already been engaged
in the enforcement of milk regula- j
tioiis; and in any case, whether the
city is just starting inilk regulation or '
Is revising its ordinances to bring
.'tic in up to date, it is desirable to take
advantage of the experience of other
communities.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has drawn up a form of
ordinance to guide communities in
framing a tlnished and practicable
law. Copies of the bulletin may be
had free upon application to the department
at Washington, D. C.
Notice
A Wonderful Piano
Proposition.
1 have on hand two pianos, and
thov are not the cheap, shoddy
kind either. I have had one of
the same make of instruments in
m.v home for fifteen years and
there are a good many more that
have the same make of instruments
in their homes in and
around Pageland. Ask Mr. U.
P. Moore at the banK he has one
of the same pianos that I am offering.
Though I bought these pianos
on the high market and will have
to make a great sacrifice in price,
which I certainly am doing.
One of the pianos cost $455,
a d I am going to offer this ona I
for $375, and I ain going to fur- |
mer otter to accept enough
staple cotton, Rood strict riiiC^
dling 1 1-4 inch staple at 36c per
pound to pay for same.
The other piano cost $415, and
I ;nn going to offer this one for.
$340, and will accept enough
staple cotton, strict middling. 1
1-4 in. staple at 36c per pound to
nay for same.
Now this proposition certainly
ought to appeal to you if vou are
thinking of buying a piano. I an*3
sacrificing, considering interests
ovi'i- a hundred dollars. 1 am still
shaving down the prices by giving
t hree or four cents above the
present market.
Should this proposition interests
