Clemson College, March 12.-The first summer or "worm" spray to control worms in fruit, is of vital im- j portance in obtaining a good crop of quality fruit, suggests the horticul tural division in Extension Circular 25 "Orchard Spraying," a new pub lication now ready for distribution. Most of the fruit that is punctured while small falls from the effects of the injury or on acocunt of the pre sence of the developing worms. The loss caused by worminess in fruit, while very important, is per haps less than that resulting from the "stings" and punctures, which de form, scar and cause the fruit to fall or ripen prematurely. Kind and Preparation: Arsenate of lead, or a poison spray made of a mixture of arsenate of lead, quick lime and water mixed as follows : Formula No. 1. Arsenate of lead (powder, see note) _1 lb. Quick lime (lump) _- __ __ 2 lbs. Water_50 gals. Formula No. 2 Arsenate of lead (powder)_1 oz. or about 1 tablespoonful Quick lime (lump)-3 oz. or 2 lumps the size of an egg. Water_ 3 gals. Make a thin paste of the arsenate of lead, and slake the , lime to a whitewash (warm water giving best results in slaking). When coll pour together and dilute to fifty gallons This mixture should be well stirred during the process of spraying. Note. In the use of the wet paste form of arsenate of lead, two pounds should be used instead of one of the powder. Time of spraying for Peach and Plum. Apply when about three fourths of the shucks (dried bloom parts) have slipped, which in the case of the* peach is about 12 to 15 days after the tree is in full bloom. I Plums are sprayed the same as1 .peaches, the first spray being given j immediately after the petals have fallen. Time of spraying for Apple and J Pears. Apply after the petals have fallen and before the bloom cup is ! closed. Garden Seed We want the people to know that we sell Landreth's old reliable seed, both for garden and field.

With an estimated surplus of over 9,000,000 bales of cotton on hand, most of the foreign mills shut down and many American mills closing daily and others curtailing, the cotton jobbing trade in the North practical ly at a standstill, the demand for cot ton goods falling off, every day, not only in the United States but all over the world, Europe returning cotton to America because of inability of spinners to pay :tor it, there can be no doubt .that the South's only hope for the future lies in a most drastic reduction of the cotton acreage. If over one-half of a crop is planted this year, it is estimated chat the price will drop to five cents or lower and it may even be impossible to sell at any price. Th?re is almost enough cotton on. hand now to supply the world for a year and a half. The planting of a large crop this year mea.ns financial ruin and disaster. South Carolina farmers should plant food and feedstuffs and be pre pared to live at home next winter. There is certainly no use to plant more cotton. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA County of Edgefield By W.
