OF INTEF L CLUB BOYS, ATTENTION State Short Course For Club Boys Approaches <" Wn^Ti College?Every South Carolina Club Boy Who has.ever bo.'n to tjie State Short Course at Clem son College knows what the event means. It is a time when club members gather from the various counties of the state for two weeks of splendid training in the funda-. I mentals of agriculture, along with * plenty o pleasure, fun and recrea-j tion, This annual event will be held this year as usual, and every club boy should be thinking over the matter of attending. It is of special importance that the boys who have won scholarships in the various counties take advantage of them. A fee of on? dollar per day win oe; charged club members other than; scholarship winners who wish to at-1 tend. But the total cost for those! not having scholarships will not ?x-j coed twelve dollars, plus railroad fare, which of course will vary. In order that club boys who have never attended the State Short' Course may understand some of its benefits, a few outstanding facts about it are given. 1. Th& short course is open to' all Boys' Club members enrolled in' club work. 2. The boys will stay in barracks where the regular students stay during th& winter and will thus get a taste of dormitory life. j. i iu-y wiii ba taught by the regular college professors on sub jects which deal with practical I 4r>..m.:nrr .-irtfi fa I'm life. a large num.be-r of club 'boys pres ent and the acquaintances and as sociations with one another will be not the least of the pleasures and benefits of the course. 7. Every possible effort will be. made to give the 'boys a genuine, wholesome good time. There will j be many torms of recreation muuu-] ing "baseball, basketball, swimming etc. Boys who like to play baseball! should bring along their gloves, mits, etc. Those who are fortunate j in being able to play a violin, ban-i jo, mandolin or other musical in struments with them. Thos? who will talk the matter over with other boys who have at-' tended the State Short Course will see. ihat they can not afford to miss j.u:~ it UJJ3 )Ctti. GARDEN NOTES Clemson College.--Keep the hand cultivator going to preserve a dust mulch and to kill weeds. Ei ther pull or hoe the weeds out of the vegetable rows. The best time( to kill weeds is when they havej just pushed through the top of the' ground. Frequent shallow cultiva-1 tion will do this as well as conserve J moisture. Plant sweet corn for succession StowelTs Evergreen is about the; best to plant now. Plantings made] every two weeks until September will give a succession until Novem-| ber. Sow tomato seed m beds in open ground for fall crop. The best vari ety for this crop is Stone. j Go over the staked tomatoes about every ten days and remove all suckers. This will induce greater fruitfulness and produce larger, i better colored fruit. The melon aphis which attacks cucumbers, melons and okra thrives during cool and wet weath er. The insect is found on the under side of the leaf. The control spray with nicotine sulphate 1 to 1,000 parts or by applying tobacco dust. The leading farmer is the reading I farmer. Good material for a work ing farm library can be hed from [the publications of the Extension Service, the Experiment Station, and I the U. S. Ueuartmeni 01 Agriculture. . (EST TO F BOLL WEEVIL CONFERENCE Held in Aiken May 16th Diacusses Boll Weevil Problem. I t<->o.c-^oTr M?? 1 Rth. the Houn- ^ Vli A , ty Agents from this district met at Aiken for the purpose of discussing the boll weevil problem. At this meeting was given the history of the boll weevil work in each County and it was brought out that in the coun ties farther South, a great deal of damage had been done to the cotton last year and year before last. It was also brought out that the methods of poisoning that some people are prac ticing, namely: the use of sweet poi son, kerosene emulsion and many of the patented boll weevil traps an*d machines had proven very unsatis factory. It was brought out that many of' the machines now oeing soia in ad- ( beville County have been thrown*< away :n the counties farther South '< and the County Agents advised me! ] that if the people in this county is wanted to buy any boll weevil traps 1 except the Standard dusting ma- t chines, that they could easily get up ( a large order of used machines at one-fourth or one-fifth the price that | ? you are now paying for them. It The results of the Conference', were as follows: J5 . . . . r 1. That no man should attempt ;t to poison the boll weevil in any way)3 except by the approved method of j dusting. - 2. That the approved method of ( filing pays only when common!, sense is used in applying the dust and :, iiood farming in connection with the', dust. I r 3. Th.it where dusting cxperi-1t mc-nts are being carried on in th'j's counties similar to the Southern Cot- j j ton Oil Company's experiments in j t this county, the men should watch j c these experiments very closely bo- j ^ fore attempting to dust for them-! ^ selves. | [ Throughout the meeting time and r time again was brought out the im-' j, portance of fast, shallow and frequent jv cultivation of cotton extending as'c far over the period of growth as it j j could be practiced without too muchj damage to the cotton by knocking j off the bolls and breaking the cotton'^ with the singletree. To you, the farmers of Abbeville County, I would recommend that you v~:ch the dusting experiments that <j will be conducted by the Southern Cotton Oil Company on ten of the farms in this county. If you have made up your mind to dust, get in touch with me and allow me to as sist you to poison according to the best methods of poisoning with cal cium arsenate. I would like to have about ten a farmers, in addition to the ten used r by the Southern Cotton Oil Com- a pany, who will dust with calcium arsenate according to the approved method, realizing at the same time . that the calcium arsenate dusting is at best only an experiment in Abbe ville County and for successful re sults must be applied according to the best methods and consistently. We will, no doubt, be seriously in- j jured by the boll weevil this year and the man who does not have other produce and plenty of feeds for him- j self and the other farmers on the \ place, will be the man who will be hurt most. But take this into consid eration that better times are ahead ] of us and by the use of good common \ sense, we can to a great extent elim- \ inate in a year or two the damage the ? boll weevil will do in Abbeville coun- ? ty. According to the history of the j other counties that have had the boll ^ weevil for quite a while, this must be j accomplished by the use of dairy cat- 1 tie, hogs, poultry and the raising of ] a large quantity of food stuff. 1 If I can be of any service to you \ in arranging your program of work ] for this year or next, please do not ] hesitate to call upon me. Wayne <jr. ivxc?aowan, \,u. Agi. Cleaning Utensil*. Put a little vinegar into the pan j which is badly stained from cook ing. Let it heat and boil for a few 1 minutes. Then wash the pan and it 1 will be quite like new. Removing Cake If the cake is hard to get out of the pan when it comes from the oven, put the pan on a wet cloth and the cake will steam loose. ARMERS SHUN LiQUID SPRAYS. A warning against liquid spray at l-a/>V>mprif-.s for nrovpntiri-o' the boll weevil has been issued by B. R. Code, Director of the Boll Weevil Work of ;he U. S. Department of Agriculture. Calcium Arsenate, he says, is the only :ertain means of poisoning the boll weevil and any effort for control by iquid sprays is useless. The boll weevil has been in the United States for 29 years and the jest farmers of the sections in which :hey have been have directed their jnei^gy and their money in connec tion with that of scientists to com pete this menace. Even if we did secure a method if spraying that would be as effec ;ive in controlling the boll weevil as iusting, it would be worthless, be cause today the professional or :hardists and others who are con iucting poisoning operations regular y and constantly are spending large >ums of money to get away from the iquid spray on account of the ex :ra labor and great expense in con lucting this poisoning work. Ncv; devices are put out daily by * i il--' some man, wno Knows nomine auuut ;he life history of the boll weevil and nit out for the simple and sole rea son to get money from you for sonne ting that is absolutely worthless and ,*ou in your desire to do the best ;o?sifc!e, buy these machines. Please give the farmers of other :ounties the credit for having as nuch sense as you, they have long igo discarded all of these machines me! are today poisoning only with :alcium arsenate by the approved lusting method. So why should we ipend our money on something that a 1 1 x. I s not prove:! anu nas not evun ueeii rled. Clcmson College offers to con !uct experiments with any and all >oll weevil machines and poisons and o give you absolute results of same. 3efore you buy any machine, why lot send it to your specialist who mows the life history of the boll veevil and the results that have been >btained in other places for his ver lict.
