Blackville Senior*; IS MAKING GOOD PROGRESS ' ON NEW SEWERAGE SYSTEM Mammoth Ditch Digger Slowly Bitea Its Way Through Streets CLEANING FIELDS WILL HELP CONTROL WEEVILS Good progress is being made in stalling BamweH’fe new /sewerage system and it is expected that the work will be completed on schedule time. The mammoth ditch-digger, which is cabable of doing the work of many laborers, has attracted con siderable attention as it slowly hut surely bites its way through the streets of the city, leaving behind it a deep, narrow trench in which the sewerage pipes are being laid. Several hundred feet can be dug in a day, depending upon the depth of the ditch. The "ditching machine has the appearance of some giant pre historic animal as it slowly drags its length through the streets, bekhipg great volumes of black smoke. The contractors in charge of the work are all very agreeabble gentle men and are doing all in their power to discommode the citizens and visitors to the city as little as pos sible during the progress of the work, when pertain streets must necessarily be blocked at times. , The Cotton Market Destruction of Cotton Stalks Early WiH Kill Many of the Peats. The earlier the cotton stalks are destroyed, the fewer the boll weevils that will survive the winter and con sequently the smaller the damage to the next crop, says Professor A. F. Coniadi, entomologist at Clemson College, who advises that as far as possible the stalks be destroyed at least two weeks before the first kill ing frost, for the early fall destruc tion of cotton stalks is practically the most important single step in any system of fighting the boll wee vils. In other words, cleaning of the fields, destroying the stalks, and the planting of cover crops constitute most powerful weapons for weevil fighting now in the hands of the farmers, who by effkient fall farm management can dictate to a great cilities, and because there are al extent how many weevils shall pass t"heady several large dairies in town the winter on his farm. This 'all cleaning program is also of the great est benefit generally in destroying thp winter homes and the winter food plants of other injurious bests of the farm. Boll weevils multiply in cotton un til frost kills ft.' Many thousands of them may occur in each acre of cot ton. Weevils hibernate,, that is they pass the winter, only in the full grown state.

Following the recent sen sational advances, which carried the price around the 21-cent level, the j begins with the coming of the first killing frost. The weevils hibernate principally in cotton fields, and stand ing stalks make for them splendid winter homes. The most favorable condition for successful hibernation quarter, carrying the price | is found in fields where cotton stalks, grass, weeds, dead leaves, etc., are left during the winter. There are little prospects for successful cotton market weakened last Week under continued Uquidation, loosing about 3 or 4 cents a pour* from the high- eat.

Ham mond Eve, superintendent of t^ie Southern Cotton Oil Company, is re sponsible for this story because he knows the man who told it to him to be thoroughly reliable and trust worthy: A farmer near Forsythe, Ga., has discovered a new, novel and copper- riveted', if not copyrighted, method of beating the boll weevil at its own ganfe. 'Hie method is the simplest imaginable. - The farmer experimented wifh a tract of twenty acres on which he had planted cotton. Before The plants reached the age at which they were susceptible to the weevil’s on slaught he turned his chickens loose in the field. It happened that he had a great many chickens, so he scattered them about 50 or so to the acre. To get them accustomed to the range he did a little preliminary feeding. When the bolk Weevils showed up the chickens' wefe an the job. As fast as the bugs would appear the chickens would gobble them up. The chickens did absolutely no injury to the cotton. Neither did the boll wee vils. The chickens didn’t give them a chance. The farmer raised more than a bale to the acre. And his chickens thrived.
