Farmers'
, f
Early Versos Late Planting ok
Cotton \
' t
Clemson'CollegeWe continue
to advise planting co'tnn
without delay in the spring,
using early varieties, and
pushing the crop to early maturity,"
says Prpf. A. F. Conradi,
Entomologist* in answering a
number of farmers who, having
observed that in some instances
tbe weevil damage was worse 111
early planted cotton this year
than on late planted cotton, have
asked us in regard to the advisability
of planting late hereafter
rather than early.
Tbe fact that infestation in
sdbie instances was heavier on
an early-planted field may be accounted
for in two ways, as follows,
Prof. Conradi continues:
1. The weevil rarely occurs
uniformly over a given section,
farm or field. The farmer will
invariably find that some spots
are more heavily infested than
others, and this accounts for ear
ly cottoa in some cases having
been more heavily infested than
late cotton.
2. In some sections, especially
in the Piedmont section, cotton
planting was greatly delayed
on many fields, because of adverse
weather conditions, but
due to the mild winter and the
very early spring, the weevil began
to come out of winter quarters
very early. The result was that
a large number of the over-wintered
weevils died before cotton
began to square. A condition
just like this may not occur again
for many years and, even if it
did, there is no evidence that it
would be worth anything. ,
Comparatively few of the wee
vils that enter winter-quarters in
the fall succeed in passing the
winter and puncture the squares .
the next spring. Therefore cotton.
production amounts to a race
between the cotton crop and the
time when weevils become
abundant; or, in other words, it
amounts to an effort to get bolls
formed and hardened before the
weevils become very 'abundant.
Any operation that delays planting
and maturing is dangerous,
because the squares and young
bolls will be lost later in the season
by the increasing number ot
weevils
in snort, tnere is no evidence
fit hand that anything: is gained
by late planting, but abundant
evidence is at hand that there
may be much to lose. We therefore
advise planting without de
lay when conditions have become
favorable, and we advise
doing everything possible and
practicable to keet> the plants
iruitjng and to hasten maturity.
Gel That Purebred Dairy Bull

reasons for so many unprofitable
cows in South Carolina are lack
of proper care and lack of jgood
breeding.

age farm cows are not cared for
properly. They are not fed the
proper amount of feeds and the
rations are not balanced. Besides
the cows are r.ot milked, fed and
Watered at rponihir limnQ- nnil ol.
though we have rather mild
winters, too little attention has
been given the proper houseing
of the milk cows, which are crea
tures of habit and do their best
only when given regular attention,
under conditions which
make for their comfort.
In the second place, there are
Deing kept too many cows which
could' not be made profitable
even if given the best opportunity
by way of feed, care and treatment.
These cows are lacking
in breeding, individuality or ability.
bince very few farmers are
testing their cows to learn which
are the profit.makers and which
are the be aiders, the only way

breed associations in this state,
realizing the need of better bulls,
have offered to give any farmer
a registered bull calf for the beet
value of the grade scrub bull he
is now using. There are twent v
or more breedings of burebred
dairy cattle in South Carolina
who can sell good young bulls
at reasonable prices.

A Wonderful Piano
Prnnncitimi
m a vpvuiuviit
I have on hand two pianos, and
bhev are not the Cheap, shoddy
kind either. 1 have had one of
tin? same make of instruments in
my home for fifteen years and
there are a good many more that
have the same make of instrumoots
in their homes in and
around Pageland. Ask Mr. U.
P. Moore at the bank, he has one
of the same pianos that I atn offering.
Though I boueht these pianos
on the high market and will have
to make a great sacrifice in price,
which I certainly am doing.
One of the pianos cost $455/
a d I am going to offer this one
for $375, and I am going to fur-,
bher offer to accept enough
staple cotton, good strict rattP"
dling 11-4 inch staple at 36e per
pound to pay for same.
The other piano cost $415, and j
I am going to offer this one for
5340. and will accept enoughstaple
cotton, strict middling, 1
1-4 in. staple at 36c per pound to
pay for same.
Now this proposition certainly
:>nght to appeal to you if vou are
thinking of buying a piano. I art"
sacrificing, considering interest^
3v? r a hundred dollars. 1 am stil?
shaving down the prices by giving
t hree or four cents above the
present market.
