All furmors intorostod In growing grapes tor market; eltlior on a small cr largo scale, should arrango to at tend the "Grape Day" mooting at Clemson College Friday, Aug. ll. Before tho cotton season ls over many farmers will be thinking of some other side-line money crops to help out with cotton, and many should And that grape production will flt in weil with their farm op erations. The extension horticulturists aro now visiting the commercial grape vineyards around Trlon, N. C., get ting information from experienced growers that will t?o givon those who attend tho meeting at Clemson. A number of farmers from Plckens, Greenville nnd Anderson will also bo present at Clemson for the trip through tho vineyards and the moot ing. In Oconeo county there are now several who aro shipping grapes lo market, tho Hopkins vineyard, near Seneca, being tho largest, with Cal houn Boggs, of this section, and Bar nett and Cox, of tho Oak Grovo sec tion, also tho owners of nico vine yards. Tho most wonderful small, vine yard ever seen by tho writer is to bo found at tho Oconeo coun'.y farm, which is operated by \V. lt. Cobb. Grapes of perfect quality simply cov ered tho vines. Then there ls the old vineyard, gcnorally called "The Dutchman's Vineyard," which ls to bo found on West Main street, in Walhalla. Figures obtained from several vineyards during tho past few years by tho horticulturists indicate an average profit per acre of about two hundred dollars. This, of course, would be less where rot ls allowed to gain headway. In 1019 ono party reported a profit tof $109.00 on one half aero. A large number of people should profit by the trip Friday. Every one is invited. Weevils Active in Places. One field examined for boll weevil aoltvity in the Oakway section last to Wednesday showed an average of 20 pw cent squaro infestation. An other Hold belonging to; tho same no r.. A. '\ and l'. A. Marti.), aver aged 10 per cent. .Vt Pondi Union '.'wa of tho ^lenvi hst Holds of Hie season were exam ined; Ono held, belonging io W. r. Casey, examined at four corners, showed tho following percentages: 36 per cent,'1 1 per cent, 9 per cent and 2 1 per cent, thus giving an aver age of 19 per cent. Both of theso men aro using dusters, applying cal cium arsenate. Mr. Martin had not used tho machine previously, while Mr. Casey had put on two dustings, being interrupted by rains. They are both applying tho first three dust ings according to schedule now. M. W. Gibson, of the South- Union section, had the heaviest infestation of any so far examined. The field examined showed punctured squares as follows: 58 per cent, 27 por cent ?nd 2 8 por cent, In tho three placse examined. He is plcknig squnrse. In tho Townvlllo Bectlon four In festation counts wore made in the fields of W. O. Prater, with those re sults: 8 per cent and 9 per cent In a field previously dusted, which had shown tho most early In the season. In another field 26 per cont and 12 por cent wero found. This latter field ho intended to start dusting tho fol lowing night. Ills crop looks unusu ally good, but lt ls always early to make predictions until cotton weigh ing timo in any field. W. N. Woolbrlght, of tho same section, had 18 per cent Infestation In tho only placo where a count was made. Persons who aro dusting should always moko infestation counts BE IFORE starting poisoning, and thou again a wook AFTER tho firsl titree dustings havo been put on. To start without making tho slmplo counts, examining 100 squares in each cor ner and center of field, simply moans that you do not KNOW where you aro, and you aro waging a hlt-or miss gamo without knowing what you aro doing. In this count only squares aro examined, nothing after tho bloom sheds being examined. A square that has been damaged either by a foedlng or egg puncture (is counted. All squares on a stalk ore examined, and other stalks in the Kamo section, until the 100 squares havo hoon cxnminod, then tho punc tured squares, which havo boon placed in a pockot, aro dra,wn out 'and countod, thus showing tho per centage. * Somo aro now giving up tho fight In squar'o-plcking and cultivation, and theso cnn count on failure to produce a profltablo crop. Cultiva tion Bhould stop, however, when tho cotton begins lapping in tho mid dles. Tho fight should never stop. Sow Hur Clover Now. Bur clover, a soil builder of dis tinction in Nowberry county, and scattered over tho Piedmont section, should bo sown now In caso il has not already been sown. It is differ ent from tho other clovors in that lt ls practically always sown in tho bur, sown earlier lu tho season, and requires much more seo'd to make a etnrt than other clovers. It reseeds Itsolf whenever allowed to make seed In the spring, theso seed lying around and coming up thick enough in tho fall for a good stand, usually. It is best to start with a small place for a seed patch, usually on good soil, or by mixing manure with the seeds, using at least six bushels of seed to the acre. These seed may bo bought from farmers listed in tho "Weokly Market Bulletin," published (and distributed free from Columbia, or from advertisements appearing In your local paper, your farm paper, otc. No inoculation is needed if tho seed are bought In the bur, as tho burs always carry soil sufficient to inoculate. Watch the Soys Grow. C. W. Baunkight, of Walhalla, who likes as much as any one In the coun ty to soo good forngo crops grow, and grows them on his farms, now has as fine a crop of soy beans as any ono In the .county, perhaps. Between corn rows, with a few plants In tho row with tljo corn, they make a solid mass about four foot high, the fine, slender, droopitlg vines of the Otoo-tan reaching up and bringing down tho precious ni trogen of tho atmosphere, and they form a picture hard to duplicate. This variety is bettor suited for hay purposes than others, having slen der branches, which do not tangle like peas, and of vigorous growth. The Biloxl variety is also planted, this variety being more Uko the .Mammoth Yellow, being upright in growth, of heavier stem and shorter branches, with moro seed, which is produced in a manner easy to gather with a soy boan harvester, lt has tho advantage of holding seed better than tho Mammoth Yellow, accord ing to Mr. Bnuknlght. This method of planting the corn about G to 7 feet between rows and spacing it thicker in tho rows, having a row of soys down the mid dle, producta a good crop of corn as well aa soya, according to Mr. Bali lc-, night' and is a method which should iii: .n universal practico, W. T. Hubbard, on tho Seneca Richland road, and Jas. H. Darby, on tho Walhalla-Seneca road, have soy beans planted along the roadside which may bo observed by all who pass. Some of the farmers who were observed hauling hay last week lo foed mules to make cotton to feed weevils should pay moro attention to all kinds of forngo crops, both sum mer and winter, and their bank ac counts would be larger.
