Clemson College, April 28-'Every day numerous Incluirles aro received nt Clemson College in regard to ono cr other of tho numerous dovlces for attaching to plows for applying li quid poison, for brushing tho cotton to knock tho weevil from tho plants, for attracting weevils to light, otc. I Tho man with new devices for boll V/eevil control has been over-present In tho wake of the weevil durirg tho last twenty years. Many of the e vices represent patriotic and consci entious effort, while in some cases the motive is purely selfish. In many cases at least tho man who gola up tho devices has no knowledge whatever of tho history of boll weevil control, and is not aware thal lils plans havo been tried and tested by Federal and'State ex perts and representativo farmers for a number of years, and found unsat isfactory, lie falls to .realize that tho people of other States aro just as In telligent and clever as ho is, and that many of his Ideas have been thresh ed lo a frazzle long before they oc curred to him. In making recommendations or statements regarding stielt matters wo are guided by tho number of pounds ol* seotl colton thal any given dovice lias been able lo add profita bly lo tho colton crop. Wo recognize only the results of carefully conduct en tests, and wo cannot base our rec ommendations on guess work, says Prof. A. K. i'd!.radi, entomologist; and in answer to tho numerous In quirios wo repeat thal wherever one' has decided to poison we rccommond tho use of calcium arsenate as a ?lust, witii properly constructed ma chines, according to il proper sched ule This recommendation is based on tho fact that wo have no evidence where prolltablo results were secured Ju carefully conducted tests by other than dusting method. Wo do not say that where ono dusts lie will secure prolltablo results, bera uso not by any moans did all the farmers that dust ed securo prolltablo results in 102', but in carefully conducted tests by experts, under tho supervision of Federal and State olllcials, wherever profit was secured it was secured by tho dusting method. Wo have prepared an oillco letter on ti tied "Poisoning in l!i22," to ac company Circular IG 2 of the Federal government, and theso are available for distribution by the Extension Service, Clemson College, S.

Greenwood, April 22.-Even tho honest plow has become aa agency for evil, local police officers declaro, and i ho police aro now wondering whether a mule and plow, used for the uncovering of liquor, can ho con fiscated under tho South Carolina law. Thc problem all began when Enoch Olegg, nogro, uncovered a liquid treasure trove while plowing a va cant lot. Enoch picked up a jar and heard tho tantalizing gurgle and swish, took a sniff, winked at his drowsy mule, and drank deeply. Po lice ofllcers declare that when ho dropped the jar in tho furrow, only dregs remained. Several hours hitor tho plowman was arrested in a negro section and was charged with disturbing tho peace with hilarity and song. Ho solemnly asserted to the arresting officers that he was sound asleep. The ofllcers think they know when a man's asleep, and Enoch drew a Uno of $ 1 0 the next day in the recorder's court. And yet many who have hoard tho story have Inquired wistfully whe ther lhere is any laud left unplowed in the vicinity of Enoch's discovery, and some have confessed that cash registers and other implements of hilliness would willingly be beaten Into plowshares If there ls much of tho burled treasure loft."
