For years and years cotton has been the crop system which ?ue uoiiea oi hiwk: ".qrapamsppH, ton boll weevil arrlnBH^P|i$' quent with it* arrival it becahte apparent that a change must be made. They investigated the posriblities of dairying and found that they were all that could be desired if followed intelligently. It was then that the Bull Associa tion idea was introduced. Atter careful study the temporary organization was perfected and nine directors elected representing eight blocks. At a meeting of the directors on May 29 it be came apparent that this Association was to be formed on bed rock and that only the best of animals would suit and only the most progressive provisions would be written into the consti tution as far as the spokesmen of I the organization were concerneJ. I The constitution in final form is a most business like and progressive one. It permits only bulls Of live bloodlines and from dams ^ 2 year old A.

An extract [ from an official report on file at 1 the Clemson College Extension Department Headquarters is found the following statement: "In its fioal form the Associa tion includes eight (8) blocks, covering the county thoroughly. Twenty-five (25) scrub bulls were eliminated, approximately 5 130 non members will use the - animals. There are approximate ly 70 pure bred cows owned by - members and 50 owned by nob' members, approximately 400 l - , j _ 1 cows are locaiea to cue miuicuit ale territory where the bulls will s be kept. Of this total number of 1 cows 30 are extra well bred and t close up in the blood of the indi* viduais that are making Guern: sey history. 5 With a membership of 40 mem1 bers, the Association is large - enough to be influential yet not * so large as to be unwieldy. Mem< - bers owning the best of the pure bred animals are making prepa 2 rations to start advanced testing t within the year and a plan is on - foot to order a car load of well 3 bred heifers to be added to the 6 list thus forming the nucleus on s which to build a name synony> mous with the best in Guernsey f blood. f The officers are: Gus SherrelL r Cheraw.

WEEVILS NOW Destroy Cotton Stalks Early by ? Plowing Under Or Rip Them 1 Ud. 1 ? *? C. A. Whittle, Soil Imp. Committee. One of the most effective steps in boll weevil control is the early destruction of cotton stalks. Just as soon as4he ccUoa c&Q be harvested, go into the cotton field and either turn under the cotton stalks or rip them up with a plow. The object is to destroy the cotton plants. Weevils can not feed on dead cotton stalks. When their food is destroyed they migrate to where they can feed or else go into winter quarters. Whether they are thus driven away from your farm or driven into winter quarteis the probabilities of their damaging you again next sea ?uu Hie ?ieuuy leuueeu. Over most of the cotton belt it 1 is possible to gather the cotton ! early enough to permit ot the ] destruction of the cotton stalks three to four weeks before a killing frost will destroy them. 1 Three to four weeks earlier in going into winter quarters means that death of weevils from star 1 yation and cold will be greatly increased. It IB tho last aioovitc that ota in. to winter quarters that cause damage in the cotton crop the } accomplish a complete eradecation of the weevil, it is true that to the extent that this is done i the number of weevils and their damage will be reduced. . Chopping down stalks leaves r Bill US lUHl Dpiuui UCW KlUVf IU uu which the weevil can feed, therefore, the ooly safe way is to up root the stalks or else, with the aid of a drag chain, to turn them b completely under the furrow e slice. Knowing that many cotton e farmers do not plow deep enough to cover up cotton stalks, the r safest general advice is to uproot ' the stalks with a plow and to watch that no new growth starts up. . As long as there is green cot ton growth lefHa- thfejteld^ihe y weevil will be touudv * It will crawl ixito a lock of cot2 ton or half open bur to keep *1 warm and come out when the J- sun shines to feed on the green >f stuff. i- Don't burn the cotton stalks. > Let them lay. on_ thp_ ground al When the ground is plowed the} e- can be turned under where the} id will decay and add to the organ ic matter which the soils so mud u^vu* of Why not organize a commun ity-wide, or county-wide move ; ment for the early destruction o ll" cotton stalks.

Ages ago this part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain was from time'to time covered by the sea, into which Btreams swept vast Quantities of mud, sand, and gravel and boulders whj$h formed thick deposits that covered large ar eas. When the region finally em erged from the sea Potomac g|ver cut its SMF&SES which^g er pebbles come from pans of the Potomac basin beyond the Blue Ridge and others from yeins of quartz in the granites of the Piedmont Plateau. Over the layer of plant debris and muck in this old swamp fine clay and pebbles were laid down by streams of water during the glacial epoch, when the northern part ot North America, as far south as northern Pennsylvania, was covered with immense sheets of thick ice, showing that the trees lived in the latter part of the Great Ice Age, which is variously estimated to have ended from 20,000 to 30,000 years ago.
