TWO BOLL WEEVIL AUTHORITY TO VISIT SOUTH CAROLINA ( ' )' I ; l v ) CtiHegft, July 12.?th: W. D. Hunter, Chief of thv Section of Southern Field Crop Insect Investigations of the Bureau of Entomology of the IJ. S. D^partfriertt of Agriculture, will be at the Farmers Week ifcejetihfcs held' at Oemson Collegej during the third week ol July. He Expects to reach Clemson on the 23rd and will very likely slay for a day or two to confer with farmers. He will address the meeting on the evening of July 23. This is a rare treat because Dr. Hunter ia the pioneer of pioneers in boll weevil work. Although a scientist oi high standing, he is an intensely practical man. Dr. Hunter took charge of the boll weevil situation soon after this pest crossed the Rid Grande in 1892 and he has stayed with the work ever since and through these years has relentlessly followed the weevil's trail. The cultural system now in use grew chiefly out of the work under his direction and now it appears that traits of the weevil have been discovered that they may yet make him amenable to poisons. Dr. Hunter has always had a deep interest in South Carolina and many years ago gave' ?ut estimates of what South Carolina might expect to gfether with recommendations to mitigate the losses. Although the weevil' heretofore gave him no opportunity to visit South Carolina, he has for more than twelve years given direct assistance to this State in the control of southern field crop insects. The boll weevil is now with us and every fanner, merchant, batiker, and other citizen interested in farming is urged to hear what Dr. Hunter has to say on the boll weevil situation in our State. Do not forget the date. Bi r ffi;' r;* iT "4...? ' . JOHN A. HOLLAND, ^ The Greenwood Piano Man. The largest dealer in musical lustrastarts in Western Sonth Carolina.

Put the ( plants in five-foot rows, six inches , apart in the row. It pays to set cel; ery in wide deep furrows in order that the soil may be gradually worked to the plants as they grow. Now is the best time to mound your peach trees for the borer. If you wait untii after the tenth you will find that they are much harder to control and they will soon kill your trees. This is also a good time to sum mer prune. A little pruning at this [time will give your tree a better shape and also save much hard winI ter nrunnier. Don't forget to make successive plantings of snap beans and corn. Cultivation at this time is very esesntial to the orchard. All weeds and grass should be kept away from near the trees. Plant a cover crop of cow peas in your orchard to turn under next faH. Prepare your land for the second crop of Irish potatoes. The Lookout Mountain is the best variety and should be planted about the 15th of July to, the 1st of August. Order seed at once and plan to have a fall and winter garden. You can hav^ fresh vegetables from the i garden tivery day in the year. Seed to be ordered ;now are: beets, tur nips,. onions, lettucte, kale, spinach, radish, and garden peas. LIMITS OF McCORMICK WILL BE EXTENDED McCormick, July 9.?In an election held here yesterday upon the question of extending the limits of the town of McCormack to include all territory not within the present town limits and within a radius of one mile from the depot at McCormick the result was at the poll or voting precinct within the territory proposed to be annexed in 13 to 10 in favor of the extension. There were a number of voters living within this area who would have voted in favor of the annexation but were disqualified on account of not having frhpif registration certificate as re quired by law. Th? result in the corporate limits was unanimous in favor of the annexation?not a single vote being cast against the annexation, : tr; | *.<*> McCormick is to soon begin the erection of a count house and jail &nd other municipal improvements and adjoining counties will have to take notice of McCormick hereafter. rough Quality iton i"( >otwl:ar a extraordinak":* & K v..iq ' y j a amnncifp V>V/1A1|7V/CFX uv lonic-wearinjr Glazed Kid raring the Nettleton lan any other one e field of Men's fine ^re are many good de only in combination igh heel and instep) and rdinary qualities of wear, ifort make it a true lootconomy that comes only IERSON CO.

HOME CANNING. Clemson College, July 12.?Every farm house should have t small canning outfit for use' in: preserving fruit and vegetables for winter. An abundance of canned products of this sort adds comfort and health to the family, and often there is enough surplus to give a nice:little income. It is seldom that canned fruits and vegetables of fine quality fail to command a good price. With a good fall garden one does not so much feel the need of canned vegetables, but there are a great many of the tender sorts that will not grow then and must be preserved in cans. I Think also of the number of fruits that may be canned. Even where one has neglected to have a good orchard, there is in most localities an abundance of blackberries .blueberries, huckleberries, grapes and cherries growing wild. In case enough vegetables have not yet been planted to furnish a surplus to can, it is a good time now to make up the deficiency. Tomatoes, snap beans, lima beans, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables may yet be planted for canning during late summer. Anyone interested in canning should write the Horticultural Division of Clemson College for Circular No. 27 on "Home Canning of Fruits and Vegetables."
