Mr. Editor: Has your wife come home, mine hasn't; but I am making some preparations for her coming the most imrportant of which is that I have made an old colored woman living four miles away a present of our rolling pin, and the next one that is bought on this place some one else will pay for, for I wil~l be dadburned if I do. -' Do you think there is any harm in a fellow circulating around among the unmarried -sisters of the neigh borhood while his wife is away ?

Some great man has said that thE dominion of a good wife over hei husband was his surest safeguard against the temptations of life; all of which I stadfastly believe. Herbert Castles made G. 0. Smith a present of a goat and Smith thought at the time that the gift placed him under lasting obligations to Castles, but a great change came over Smith when the goat crippled two yearlings and caused the other cattle to break through the wire fence and destroy two acres of corn. The goat climbed into the garden, ate fifty cents worth of beans, then pulled Smith's only nice pants off the garden gate and chewed them up. And right here is where the trouble comes in-Smith won't vote for Castles' daddy for sup ervisor unless he is furnished with another pair on pants. Beckham is away from home now and nobody is locking up their tools and things. This has been and is a good crop year, notwithstanding the cold, vyet spring-something like 1882, which was the best alround year that I can recall.

Clemson College, July24. The first generation of weevils has been active in the central and southern parts 0, the state for the last ten days to two weeks and it is rapidly appearing in the Piedmont section. Infestation in the southern section of the state and the Pee Dee section has been com paratively high in the last ten days, while the farmers in the central and northern parts of the state will ob serve a rapid increase in square in festation during the next week or ten days. The appearance of weevils at this time and the increase in the'num ber of punctured squares is due to natural developments, and this was to be expected." The above statement was made at the weekly boll weevil conference held here today, which wag attended by Directors W. W. Long and H. W. Barre, President W. M. Riggs, Prof. A. F. Conradi and his field entomolo gists, and other specialists, and at which there were reports made from the .county agents and specialists as to weevil conditions in the various counties. Below are the details of the facts and suggestions brought out at the conference. Weather conditions in most sec tions of the state are favorable to weevil development, and the rains are unfavorable to weevil control. Over practically the entire state cotton is still continuing to fruit, but in those sections where infestation runs from 40 to'60 percent, and with showery weather, fruiting may not be expect ed to continue. Attention is particularly directed to the fact that we have arrived at the critical period in the production of -cotton in 1922 when the utmost a t on is necessary to keep the . 4 ting and to reduce the weevil iin as much as possible. Far me o are poisoning are urged to follow the directions laid down for this Iwork with great care, and to make the different poison applications at the intervals recommended just asj nearly as possible. weather permitt ing. Attention is directed to the fact that because of the showery and moist weather conditions in any sections of the state, the characteristic flaring open and yellowing of the punctured squares is not so noticeable as it is in dry weather, and this fact is de ceiving many farmers as to the abun lance of the weevil, for under such conditions the punctured squares re main green and keep their normal shape for a much longer period than under dry weather conditions. At this time there are still sent in as boll weevils a number of insects which however are other kinds. Also, many squares are sent in with holes bored into them, either by the boll worms or the cotton square borer. Furthermore, there is considerable shedding on many farms, due appar ently in some cases to excessive wet weather, while in other instances it is attributed to a lack of fertilizing elements. In some sections the rains have retarde cultivation. An exam ination of many of these fallen forms shows that upwaLrds of 40 to 50 per cent were squares and the balance young bells, and in some instances the great majority of the squares and blls showed no weevil injury.
