THRICE AS MANY WEEVILS
IN HELDS NOT POISONED
ClemsoTi College, July 29.—During'
the week ending July 27, examinations i
were made in 77 cotton fields in ten
counties- from Florence, Orangebuf-g'
and Bamberg In the east, to Chester,^
Union and Greenwood in the Piei-|
mont. In the general average, fields |
which had not been poisoned showed j
24.5 ner cent of the squares to be in-,
fested. while the poisoned fields]
showed only ^.7 per cent of the 1
squares infested. In other words, the i
damage is three times as heavy in tne j
unpoisoned fielis as in the poisonedj
fields, .says Prof. Franklin Sherman,
entomologist, who summariced the
data.
The gene’ll average of 8.7 for the
poisoned fields indicates a successful
control, for so long as the infestation
is held below 10 per cent the weevil
does not seriously reduce the yield.
The clo.seness of the figure to the
danger point clearly indicates the
need to watch carefully and dust as
needed to hold it within control.
On the other hand, the average yf
24.5 per cent infestation in the un
poisoned fields is destructive, and
clearly indicates that a serious loss is
occurring in unpoisoned fields. The
data and press items from several
counties indicate that a strong fight
is being made against the weevil. The
m rth of August will largely deter-
m'-'u the outcome of the weevil con-
t: cl operations for the year.

We are introducing a new plan of home-
site selection — a plan found popular
and successful in several nearby cities.
^ » .-v
We are opening, beautifying and improving a fine
new residential section of College View — “THE
WOODS.” Partially wooded, partially open. With sewer,
water, lights, sidewalks, etc. We have subdivided the
lots so that we can now offer lots large, small, wooded,
cleared, square or irregular of North, South, East or
West facing. Any kind you desire. This section only a
block off Broadway, is nearer the College and Orphan
age and also nearer the center of town. First scale of
prices very Jow.
Price Range $300 to $850 Per Lot
I
10% Down. Balance on easy payments if desired
The novel feature of our plan is that the
lot numbers, dimensions and prices are
all prominently displayed on the front
of each lot for your own examination, in
the form of a tag. The first white per
son bringing the tag into the office of
Wm. P. Jacobs at Jacobs & Company,
with as much as 10% of the purchase
price will get the lot (subject to prior
sale^ and convenient terms may be ar
ranged for the balance.
No High Pressure Sales Work — See and Select For Yourself
O
Lots unmarked already sold. Select now while all types
are available. Low price range will be increased after
sale of first 20 lots—12 already gone. We also will gladly
cooperate in the erection and financing of a home now
or later. This appeal is to prospective home owners.
