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.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES.

ClemsOn CoBtege, July
cfuent cultivation is the ntttt b&t
thing to rain the garden.^

. prolucts, jars, heat, care, and clean.
liness. >
f; Concentrate products, especially
' soup mixtures, so that each cont
tainer will hold as much canned
'| goods and a' little Water a possible. I
I tk? ln++^y rvnrt this month is
. the time to transplant your celery.
! If you did not grow your own plants,
. secure thenr from a neighbor or from
. some reliable seedsman. 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,

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.

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."
SOON WILL BE OF THE PAST.
