BOLL WEvlL MREMEDY Considerable :.ublicity has been ;iv en a proposed boil weevil extermainant which has recently Leen apparently resurrected in Georgia after it had been abandoned for about five years. The difference between the poison mixture proposed and that ordinarily used is that it provides for, a sweet smelling ingredient to attract the weevi! rather than to wait for hin, to hit upon the poison in his travels over the stalk. A formula of molasses and calcium arsenate is used which in some sections, is said to have prov en very successful. However. aglicul tural experts have come out w. ith a statement to the effect that the mix ture is useless.

Clemson College, June 12.-The military part of the recent commence ment at Clemson college was tinged wN Ith an element of sadness on the part of the faculty and students because of the fact that Col. J. M. Cummins, com mandant of cadets, is soon to sever his connections with the college and leave Clemson. As has been announced previously Col. Cummins has been de tailed by the war department to the officers' school of the line at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, next Septem ber. Col. Cummins has been com mandant at Clemson altogether for six sessions having served four years previous to the war and two years during his second assignment, which began with the session of 1919-20. He has been not only a most efficient of ficer but a genuinely popular military officer and citizen of the community, and Dr. W. .N. Riggs, president of the college, thinks him the most efficient commandant Clemson college has ev er had. At a chapel exercise just preced ing commencement the corps of ca dets !)resented Col. Cummins with a handsome gold-Ilned silver cigarette case with the inscription, "To Col. J. N. Cummins with best wishes from the cadet corps of Clemson college." The presentation was made in behalf of the corps by G. G. Gilmer. presi dent of the senior class. Everybody here is osrry to see Col. Cummns and his family leave CIemon coicge. and the best w!shes of all who know him go with him to his new ield at Fort Leavenworth. Another popular officia!, whom Cleniron college is sorry to lose is Rev. .J. M. Sto ey, who for several years has been rector of the Holy Trinity Eipiscopal church and for the last two years co-operator in charge of vocational ins.ruct!on for federal board students.
