Every care should be exercised in the use of these poisons. It is better to buy only as much as ' you need at a time. We regret that the election on the question of issuing bonds for road improvement went against the bonds because we believed it was to the interest of the people to issue bonds and build per manent roads throughout the township and county. We hope the next plan advanced for road improvement will be a better one, but we fear it will not. We submit as gracefully as possible to the will of the majority. The Columbia Record of Friday said: "Of the 71 j)usi^^^^^^tazar^nhe guess tha^?' I large per cent of the 69 who I were born elsewhere came from ^the farm. Can the Record tell ^us how many of the 69 have had experience in pulling the - bell cord over the back of a mule? * It is unfair to impugn the motives of LaCoste Evans in his fight for good roads in' Chesterfield count}-. Evans has fought a good fight and has k done it iinseHRhlv Yuc .J x VU, i*v nil! be paid, but it will not be from the pockets of the tax payers of Chesterfield county. Sooner or later the people will see how tirelessly he has fought for them and then he will rise high in the esteem of his fellow men throughI out the width and breadth of j the county. The people will . honor him and remember him as a friend. This is the pay I Evans wants and will get. The sandhill" sections of the county are poorer because of frequent forest fires. As fast as leaves and trash-accumulate on the land fire sweeps over it and consumes the accumulated vegetable matter and kills the undergrowth, leaving the land clean and bare and the trees charred. This process keeps the soil in an impo\erished condition from year to year and when it is cleared it does not yield as fresh land should. These fires become less frequent. however, as the land is settled and cleared up. The fires discourage settlement by making the land poor, and settlers discourage the tires by cleaning up fields and making extensive forest fires impossible. The sooner the settlers get in the ascendancy in every nook of tho county the better for all concerned, Time Has Come For War On Potato Bugs Cleinson College, May 1? That common pest, the potato bug, is now requiring attention in South Carolina potato fields and vegetable gardens, accord ing to A F. Conradi, entomologist of Clemson College. For the sake of the state's spuds, he describes methods of waging war upon the bug. "There are two forms of poison used for killing the potato bug," says Prof. Conradi. "The best is arsenate of lead. Paris green is also extensively used. Arsenate of lead is pur chased in two forms, paste and powder. The ponder is recommended for the reason that it is more easily handled, cannot freeze aud cannot dry up. For large areas this powder is used at the rate of lib. to 50 gallons pf water. In making up arsenate of lead or Paris green solutions always stir fcthe poison with a little water to the thick ness of white wash before it is added to the bulk of water. Paris g^een is made up in the same way as arsenate of lead, except that the rate is 1-4 lb. of Paris green to 50 gallons of water." For the small family garden, says the entomologist, arsenatse of lead powder is used at the rate of a heaping teaspoonful to a pail of water, Paris green, at the rate of a level teaspoonful to a pail of water. Pans green should not be sprayed on the plants without the addition of a little whitewash to the spray. This mil lu> nrrnmnlicho:! Ku slaking a lump of quick lime with a little warm water and adding it to the pail of spray. Arsenate of lead powder or Paris green may be dusted. lror the family garden it can dusted through a muslin or cheese cloth sack or through an old tomato can with a number of small holes punched in the bottom. I is on, because theni^M^H Per. Arsenate of lead m|H busted alone without be^Juste?a?'''SSe'rate*of about 1 to 21bs. to the acre. If one seems to be using too much of it and trouble, it can be mixed one half its weight with air slaked lime and dusted liberally. To dust Paris green, add a teaspoonfull of Paris green to a quart or air-slaked lime and mix thoroughly and then dust on plants in the morning while the dew is yet onihem. Where one desires to spray the powder, any kind of spray pump with a tine nozzle is .satisfactory. Some people apply the spray by means of a whis broom and still others with pine brush tied together. Although crude and somewhat wasteful, this serves the purpose in the small family garden. Commencement May 14th.
