How to Determine Weevil In festation. Clemson College, June 15.-Far mers in the boll weevil territory are interested in the suggestions made by Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist of the State Crop Pest Commission, concerning determining the amount of weevil infestation as referred to in Information Card No. 7 entitled "Boll Weevil Poisoning in South Car olina in 1920." Following is an ex planation of a simple method for de termining weevil infestation. Make counts of 100 squares or forms at each of five points of the field. These points should be proper ly distributed in order to represent average conditions. One point should be near each corner and one near the center o:! the field. Examine the squares or forms on the plants, not on the ground. Dur ing each count of 100 squares pull off those that are punctured but let those not punctured remain on the plant. The punctured squares may be put in a small sack. After the count at each point has been completed, the punctued squares should be count ed, recorded, and then discarded so that they will not confuse counts at other points. At the completion of counts at the five points, an average -percentage of punctured squares should be made. To simplify this work a hand tally counter may be bought. This little instrument can be used to great ad vantage in so far as it does all the counting by just pressing a small lever with the finger as each square is counted. It saves much head work. These tally counters can generally he obtained from hardware stores. In making the counts at each point of the field -it is not necessary to count all of the squares ' on each stalk. Count an average number from each stalk from several rows at that point. It is usually best to start counting on the second or third row from the edge of the field and about the same distance from the end of the rows at each corner of the field. Change of Dates For Short Course. Clemson College, June 14.-A change in the dates of the short course for club boys has been made, .and the course will be given July 13 to 23 inclusive instead of as formerly announced. Club boys are urged to remember that this opportunity is cj^jg-jgji all club members, the pro vision being that two winning mem bers from each county are given scholarship and any others who at tend pay evpenses. The scholarship boys have only their railroad fare to pay, while others attending pay also a small fee of one dollar per per day. The total expense therefore, even for those who pay this fee, will not be great, an devery club boy who can should seize the opportunity to spend a wholesome, pleasant and profitable vacation. The instruction given will cover the various phases of practical agri culture, and will be given by regular members of the agricultural faculty. The lectures and other class instruc tion will be confined to mornings, the afternoons to be devoted to practical demonstrations in field, barn, and or chard and to recreation. Special at tention is to be given to recreation and an opportunity to know about the institution and its work as a whole Last year a Lancaster county club boy attended the short course, kept his eyes open and later went down to the State fair in Columbia and won a $100 prize in the livestock judging contest. This year there will be se lected from those who attend the short course three boys making the highest record in livestock raising to represent the boys' club of South Carolina in the livestock judging con test at Southern fair in Atlanta next fall. The team that scores the highest | in this contest and the boy that| makes the highest score will be given j a free trip to England to attend the ! Royal livestock show in London. I Boys in all classes of club work may attend the Royal Livestock show in London. Information concerning the short course can be obtained from the county agent in each coun ty. R. F.

For all [practical purposes the new.Mexican I government has been recognized at the state department, and the new regime is in touch" with the United States. The Mexican embassy here has been turned over to Dr. Felix Torre I Diaz, as charge d'affaires of the pro visional Mexican government. Mr. Salvador Diego Fernandez, Carranza' charge d'affaires left here this morning for Mexico City. He has turned over to?JDr. Torre Diaz all of the funds of the embassy and all the powers by order of the provision al President De La Huerta. The new charge has made no change in the ' embassy staff and business is run ning along smoothly between the two governments. Introduced to State Dept. In was learned here today that Dr. Torre Diaz was introduced at the Mexican division of the state depart ment yesterday by Mr. Fernandez, who up to that time had been acting ! as the representative of Carranza. ' This act is about the last which signalizes the total collapse of the re gime in Mexico which was set up during the first administration of President Wilson. In many official ways are Carranza government has been saved from an actual outbreak with the United States by unexpect ed turns of diplomacy at the White I House. Caused Resignation of Lansing. The last efforts of the White House to prop up the decadent Car jranza minority caused the resigna tion of Secretary Lansing and Henry jP. Fletcher, the United States am bassador to Mexico, who during the President's illness undertook to de mand from Carranza an acknowledge ment of the rights of W. 0. Jenkins, a consulate agent of this country who had been jailed and persistently harassed by the ^courts and petty of ficials of the Carranza government. Carranza won in the triangular fight between him, the White House and the state department. The outlook today appears to be that the new government is able enough to demand the recognition of all nations. Why That Headache? When you know the cause of a dis ease a cure may often be effected.
