Farm Pests that Require Foresight for Their Control. Upon I a k i Mir charge ol tin* Division of Hilloinology Jit the State Experiment Station at Clemson 1 lie writer desires to become as familiar as possible wit 11 t lie in see I pests that menace lite agricultural crops of South Carolina. It is Hie aim of this office In be as useful as possible to Uic {farmers, I ruck growers ami fruit growers all over I lie Slate. \V<; are aware that I lie losses occasioned by insect pests are enormous ever.v year. In order to prevent such losscf it is necessary for this Division and the citizens of the State, especially the agricultural workers, to come af ?is near together, and work as closely in harmony as possible. 'In tlie regular correspondence witli farmers a large number of letters contain complaints about serious injuries caused by wire worms and white grubs. These two problems confront the fanner every spring and summer. As there is tio specific that can br- recommended against these pests wo must depend on general methods of farm practice. A good system of farm practice is infinitely better than all the sprays and nostrums so ottcu recommended. While the farmer thinks ahead and plans his course of procedure for Hie purpose of maintaining soil fertility or regaining it when lost, he rarely asks himself the question, What course must I pursue to avoid insect injury to the crop 1 am intending t.o plant. The complaints about injurious insects reach us when the injury is actually being done and when often no practicable remedy or prevent alive can bo recommended. In order thai this Division may be in (.he best possible position to help the farmers of the Slate to solve this tmd other insect problems it is noccssar.v that the entomologist be kept informed as lo the farm operations on individual farms. In order to bring this about every farmer and ever.v citizen of South Carolina who grow.* plants of any kind is invited to become a correspondent of this Division. Every farmer is invited to read this article and comply with I bo request of this Division, ami we have mi doub) that we can ho of material service t<> such correspondents durinc next season in helping them to avoid losses to their crops caused bv insects (>r other animals. "Write to this Division saying thai you wish to belong to the spccia group of correspondents. \\ ? wil then semi you blanks requesting yon to draw a sketch of your farm orchard of plantation, showing what crop? are now growing and where you intend to plant the next crop. We will also se ml a blank circular containing questions which we want you to answer and a circular explaining oui purposes. Only one farm sketch inccessary and this will be carefully filed at this ottice. On the blanks sent you we expect to receive a report of the condition of your crops once each month. When such a report reaches this office it will receive careful attention. Your farm sketch will then be referred to and in this way we know what yon are doing at a given time and what von intend lo do. It will enable us to warn you at the proper time atraiusf certain farm operations that will encourage insect pests and at the end of the season we arc in position to recommend what could best be done in order to eradicate white grubs, wire-worms, cutworms, chinch bugs, corn hill bugs, corn ear worms, cotton boll worms and other pests. In the case of farmers not taking advantage of this ami writ inn lo us another spring regardless these pests, we will be obliged to state that we are at a great disadvantage in recommending anything that is of im mediate practical value. To male: these monthly reports requires li'th time on your part and the cost ot sending twelve such reports a yeai is twenty-four cents. These monthly suggestions will lit supplemented by newspaper article; and Experiment Station bulletin? which will be sent to all correspond cuts promptly when issued. .Many insects can generally be con trolled by some method at any tinu when they occur in destructive nunv hers. All citizens are invited to cor respond with this division when I hen is any trouble affecting their staph crops, orchards, or shade trees. Ih such close cooperation it will follov that we have less insect troubles it the future, with betler crops am more intelligent farm practice.

Cranfill of the Associat ed Prohibition Dress). , Xhe auction of .tho prohibition o \ ; (lie liquor traffic lias been a subject of earnest consideration and agilai lion ever since the i'oundation of our government. We now think that tlie present generation have pushed the agitation to an inlenscr and a higher point than has ever heen i known before, and this is true, but there have heen many periods before ! the present generation were born in which great flood-tides of victory ! were achieved by the enemies of the I saloon, it is true that the present situation in many respects is unmatchi ed in history, but seventy or eighty I years ago, led by such martial spirits - as Lyman Beeeher, John G. Whit tier, i Eliphalct Nott and John B. Gough, the war against the rum traffic was waited with such zeal and ardor that i great achievements were wrought for ; the -American home against its deadliest foe. Tt was from this agitation that at a later period Neal Dow emerged and led in giving to the world our first prohibition State. FACE TO FACE WITH DESTINY. A study df events in connection with thi< great agitation reveals the fad thai in the many and varying aspects of the fight against the liquor Irallic every note in the gamut of legitimate human endeavor for the right seems to have been touched. Wc have had the work for moderation, total abstinence, local temperance organizations, fraternal temperance societies, local and State prohibition by law. Beyond a doubt we have reached a crisis in prohibition and in prohibition party work unmatched in history. We have come to a time when sonicthing is going to happen. Indeed, something is hound to happen. We have been the victims of the conspiracy of silence until we have reached a degree of tension that it is ; impossible for the old rum-soaked po litical parties to longer perpetuate, or for the prohibition workers of the : country l<> lunger endure. What is done in this conflict must lie done quickly. I We inu-t either take ! 1 n opportunity that now i- ?>ur< at it- flood and , march on to victory, or for another fifty years wo must bo bound in the r shallows and miseries of liquor dom| ination and the ultimate obliteration of our great Republic. God help u- to acquit ourselves like I men! I , EXCURSION RATES VIA SOUTHERN RAILWAY. Account Piedmont Fair the South. ern Railway announces greatly reduced rates from Chariot te, X.
