' 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."

Five Bottles of Cardai
Made Her Well.
Kathleen, Fla.-Mrs. Dallas Prine,
of this place, says: "After the birth,
of my last child...I got very much,
run-down and weakened, BO muca
that I could hardly do anything at
all. I was so awfully nervous that
I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
worse all the time...
I knew I must have some relief or
I would soon he in the bed and in a
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked Dr.
-about my taking CarduL He
said, 'It's a good medicine, and good
for that trouble', so he got me 5 bot
tles... Af ter about the second bottle I
felt greatly improved., .before taking
it my limbs and hands and arms
would go to sleep. After taking it,
however, this poor circulation disap
peared. My strength came back to
me and I was soon on the road ito
health. After the use of about 5 bot
tles, I could do all my house-work
and attend to ay elx children be
