' Get the Bees Ready for Fall and Winter. Clemson College, June 17.-The first honey flow is over in most parts of the State. In a good many bee yards the honey has been taken off, and now is the best time to straight en out the hives wherever they need it and to transfer bees from box gums to standard ten-frame hives. If brood combs are crooked and if there are broken frames in the brood cham ber, it is now a good time to straight en them out and to repair them. The very crooked brood comb may have to be removed and replaced with straight sheets of comb foundation in some cases, suggests thc beekeeping specialist of the Extension Service. Did your colonies develop strong so thal, the hives fairly boiled over .with bees? Is there plenty of brood frames? Now is the time to consider requeening for it is a good queen that makes the colony. Requeening in July is recommended for the follow ing two reasons: 1st. It gives the queen fully eight weeks to rear her brood for a strong fall colony which can gather a fall crop of honey and be in fine condition for wintering. , 2nd. When spring arrives there is still :'? young queen strong enough for the spring drive. Weather conditions so far have been favorable for sour-wood and there should be a sour-wood honey crop in July. Straighten out your col onies now and the requeening in July will not interfere with the gathering of the sour-wood crop. Those interested in requeening are invited to write to the Division of . Entomology, Clemson College, S. C., .' for particulars. Queens should be ; gotten from the best breeders, who . can guarantee the strain and who . have no American or European foul ! broods in the yards. j People are requested not to be- . come careless in shipping bees into . the State. Many other states have .' the foul brood diseases and as this j state appears yet to be free from ? . them, it would be a calamity to have . some one ship these diseases into ! South Carolina accidentally. ] The Boll Weevil Situation. Clemson College, June 14.-"The . boll weevil is already showing con- ! siderable activity this season in west- j ern Beaufort County and also in 1 part of Jasper and Hampton Coun- . ties," says Prof. A. F. Conradi, of the South Carolina Crop Pest Com mission. Owing to the mild winter, Mr. Weevil wintered well and his family is now quite numerous, and active earlier than usual. "This is the third season of the weevil in Beaufort and the second in Jasper and Hampton, but he received a backset in the winter of 1917-18 and lost all of Beaufort except Dau fuskie Island. Last season the ykst regained all of t?iis lost territory and increased in such numbers that the outlook in some sections appears threatening. "The amount of injury that willbe done this year depends of course al together on the weather conditions in June and July. If the weather du ring that period of the year is dry, the damage will be very greatly re duced; but should that period of the year be moist, then we may expect ? very sharp damage on a number of plantations in that territory. "No radical action is recommend ed at this time and we do not advise that cotton be plowed under and the land planted in corn, because the plantations from which the most se- J rious complaints are received have, according to the statements of the farmers, already reduced the acreage 50 per cent. "One cannot now forecast with any accuracy what may be expected, but / in a month from now the probable ' damage may be much more closely estimated. It is advised that the farm ers proceed with the methods of cul ture that have been recommended and not expect any important relief from poisoning this season. The soundest course to pursue is to keep up the cultural work and stimulate ? cotton as much as possible for the production of an early crop. "If we have another favorable win ter the most serious damage may be expected next year in the territory above referred to, and it is hoped that accurate data may have been ob tained by that time in regard to the practicability and effectiveness of poisoning. Poison should not be look ed upon at the present time as a per fected remedy because it is yet in the experimental stage and the work done along this line should be done with great exactness and under the supervision of expert State and Fed eral Agencies."
