Do Not Rush Cotton on the Marl
The Farmers' Union urges
members and farmers generally not
rush their eotton on the market
tho presont prices, whieh are be)
the cost of production. Every balo
cotton being sold is taken from
producer at $20 per balo leas than
roal value. Who is tho bear on
market? Is it not the producer 1
you would rofuse to take tho pr
offorcd the speculators will have
give your price. Can you do bett<
Certainly you can. The Farmers' I
ion has been offered all tho moi
necessary if we will only put <
cotton in bonded warehouses. fl
Union has a number of warehous
and the Standard Warehouse co
pany is also in position to store c
ton and issue receipts. The lat
company can store 70,000 bales a
I issue receipts which will be negc
able at any bank. Arrangements hi
been made for carrying your cotl
for you if you will but cooperate,
further information regarding this
desired address the undersigned
Pendleton, S. C. 1 would advise a
one putting their cotton in wa
houses to arrange for money for :
months at. least.
Is. it good judgment to warchoi
cotton? I will answer yes, \t is
ways good judgment to warchoi
any product when it sells below p
duction, and conditions will certaii
warrant it now.
As to the condition of the prcsc
eotton crop, the weather over a lai
portion of the belt is bad, and so t
prospects. Heavy rains are report
over Texas, Oklahoma and Flori<
. aiul reports of deterioration from t
ifj cotton belt still come in from eve
State, and the world realizes n<
I ?iiat the crop is short. It will i
i more than duplicate our lust cr<
There will be no top crop this ye
and cotton is opening prematurely,
want to urge our farmers to wai
house their cotton and get money
it to settle their indebtedness a
market the crop as the world nec
it. By so doing you can get yo
price.
It will pay the farmers to reme
her that corn is now selling at $1.
per bushel, bacon from 11 cents to
cents per pound, ham 18 cents to
ecnts per pound. Heal, real farmt
are purchasers of the above artiftl
Now. brother, don't grumble wh
the specular to offers you 8.To and
cents for your cotton. lie kno
that, you have to pay for the abo
articles you have bought to make tl
cotton, and you now havo to m<
your obligations. Now, be fair a
don't blame him when he offers y
the present price. Remember tli
buying bacon, corn, flour, inolass
hay, guano, mules and horses is t
cause. T want you to remember tli
there is no country where the abo
articles can be raised cheaper tli
here in South Carolina. The reme
B for 8.75 and 0 cents eotton is div<
h sification of crops. So let me si
gest that you write "diversify cro
H this year" and tack it up in the m<
conspicuous place about your lion
B so that you can he reminded of it <
Hj ery day, and then do it, and you c
jsra name your price for your cotton a
; I secure it for your whole crop.

SLAUGHTER OF JACK RABBII

II post. And as a pest the ranchmen a
^>"'ers join hands in getting rid
|| jack rabbit lias a sentimental ^'n
cct. The prairie dog talks in short, slm
licr barks, which are really not barks
; to all, bnt ealls almost identical wi
at the blnejay. The prairie dog is al
low an eloquent conversationalist with li
of tail, which, though short, is kopt wa
tho ging all the time. Old plainsmen si
its tluit 0110 prairie dog can talk to a
tho other wigwag fashion without uttc
If ing a sound.
ice Some evening the ranch telephon
to in all the surrounding county noi
?rf where a hunt is scheduled will ring
Jn- general alarm, and the ranchmen wl
ioy -answer will hear a message for al
)ur "Going to be a rabbit hunt at tl
^ho J ranch tomorrow." That is all tl
;eS) notice that is needed. On the san
,m- evening the word will have pass<
ot_ around in town and as many as hai
ter horses to ride will make plans to jo:
1U| tihe sport.
,ti- Soon after dawn the nexit day
lve procession of riders wall start for tl
on ranch where the hunt is schedule
If Preceding them will be a wagon <
is two loaded with rolls of chicken yaa
ut fencing, which plays an importai
ny part in the hunt. The men with tl
re_ fencing will drive .straight to tl
sjx point where the hunt is scheduled I
end. Usually this will be the mout
,sc of a small canyon or draw. TTere wi
bo built a corral of chicken wire, an
lse then stretching out from eithor sic
ro_ of the corral's mouth will be ru
long linos of fence wire held in pla<
by stakes. Somotimcs these tw
mt w'n?s or wire will make a V-shapc
,ge mouth a quarter of a mile across. Tl
ire ]K>int of the V is the mouth of tl
C(j corral and into it eventually all tl
jack rabbits will be driven for mih
j10 around.
>ry After all the preparations ha\
ow been made in the way of fencing tl
iot hunt proper will begin miles back c
>p. the V-shapped wings. The hunters o
ar, horseback will scatter until they ai
. I a straight line across (he prairie co1
re- ering several miles. There are womc
on as well as men among tho riders, :
nd rifling is easy and liable to nor
ids ?f the dangers attending the follov
Ur ing of hounds after coyotes. The hui
has a captain, and at his signal, usi
m_ oily the firing of a revolver, the lir
10 of riders begins to move steadily foi
12 ward. The outside riders move
20 little faster and soon the lino fcaki
;rs the form of a semicircle,
es. Steadily the riders move across tli
en plain and steadily t'lie riders draw i
0 near each other as the corral wing
ws are approached. Before the advam
ve ing line the frightened rabbits ai
lis already skipping alone and occasioi
;et ally an expert with a revolver takes
nd pot shot at one from the saddle.
ou As the wings are approached Mi
iat- riders increase their speed and tli
ps? rabbits run blindly. Before the
he know it they 'have run against one c
iat (lie wire wings. There is nothing t
vc do but. follorw the fence, and in a fe
an minutes they have run through tl:
dy mouth of the corral.
sr- A rabbit would never think, if ral
ig- bits do think, of turning around an
>ps trying to break through the line c
ist horsemen, lie keep on going unt
se, surounded by the fence, when thei
>v- is no escape. When the round-u
an ends 'the corral is filled with rabbit
nd The number may range from a fe
So hundred up to a thousand. The ral
bits are killed with clubs or by dog
and the hunt is over.
Then comes quite as much of ll;
day's sport as the aunt itself?t!i
barbecue given by the ranchma
?g whose pastures have been rid of 11
pest. All day the beeves have bee
]1C hanging over the pits near the rano
house. Coffee has been steaming i
boiler kettles and there is an ahum
?()), a nee of bread ami pickles. The hui
m_ jrry hunters hurry to the scene of tli

or after before the hunt, i*; over, the
I are ready for the meal.

The San Jose Scale in South Car08
olina.
ar . Ttho S?? Jose (San Ilozay) scale
a is the most pernicious insect post of
10 fruit and shade trees in South Caro1:
luia. In some sections the owners of
io trees are cutting them down owing to
io the presence of this insect. The Diio
vision of Entomology of the South
Molina Experiment Station has refo
pea ted ly emphasized the fact in the
in pi ess that there is no necessity for
cutting down or other wise destroya
ing a tree merely because it is infested
with San Jose scale unless the
<1- tree is so far gone that it. has not
enough vitality left to recover after
*? the scale is killed. Although one of
1 the worst insects of America, it has
,c been demonstrated over and over
In n tl,c Pcst oau ^,0 successfully
and economically controlled.
Fruit growers all over the United
States who are troubled with this
post are controlling it by tho sprays
devised for that purpose. All citizens
ot South Carolina who have trees dy30
ing or who know that (heir trees are
infested with scale, or who have
' trees in an unthrifty condition are
invited to write to the Division of
Entomology, South Carolina Experiincut
Station, Clcmson College, S. C.
