During "Dee Week" in Oconee i total of nine demonstrations were hold with the bee-keeping specialist, Mr. 'Pr?vost, with a total attendance of 7 4 persons. Great interest was shown at all points in the county vis ited. (Farmers are more interested than ever before in bec-keping on account of the low price of cotton. ?A total of fourteen old box gums were done away with and replaced by modern hives. To give some idea of the value of the work done, some two years ago Davis Martin, of Oak way, transferred, under the special ist's direction, to two modern hives, and this year has obtained about 300 pounds of first-class honey from them. Figure this at :!.'> cents a pound, Many who witnessed the demon strations will lind lt easy to continue to transfer their own and their neighbors' bees into modern hives, and this they intend doing.

On Wednesday, June 29th, land owners along the proposed drainage district of Beaverdam creek have been asked to make a trip of inspec tion over some of the creeks recent ly drained in Anderson county. The Oconee .agent will meet the party at Townvillo. and from there take the party to see the Anderson county agent, who will pilot the crowd around. The government engineer bas already inspected Hie creeks pro posed for drainage, Boll Weevils. Farmers have brought in all types of bugs to tho county agent for iden tification, and they have been rose beetles and'other kinds of beetles and weevils. The agent has secured a 'bottle of DEtA'D weevils from the State entimologist, and has them in a bottle for showing to those who may wish to see how the real weevil looks. Along about Aug. 1st farmers will probably Hod weevils to a limited extent, for they aro thick from An derson county on down, and those boll weevils are good Miers, and they start flying usually along in (August. Wet or cloudy weather will increase the abundance of w 'evils in the State. 'No need to worry hero this year. But - more later. Black Leg In Voung Cattle. P. J. Shook, of Walhalla, lost a heifer last week, apparently from black leg, and immediately the black leg filtrate, solution was ordered from thc State veterinarian and adminis tered to his other calves.
