CONTROL METHODS Clemson College, S. C., June 27th.? [ When, this pest is confined to vetch ' or grass a deep furrow can be plow red around the field ana when the worms pile up in the furrow drag a log through it. Poison the adjoining fields. Graze the infested area hea vily. If the ground is level use heavy roller. If a road or driveway separ ates the* infested from the threaten ed crop, use drag in killing the cat erpillars when crossing. Cut and cure the infested grass for hay if far enough advanced and plow and plant another crop. n When they attack cotton and corn these should be dusted with arsenate of lead powder. For this an ordinary sack from which the starch lias been removed, can be used. It may be tied to the end of a pole and the operator rides on horse back wnen applying it. tl is made as follows: , A strip of -wood three inches wide, one inch thick and one foot longer than width of rows.

He makes the request that newspa-, pers all over his department print the following memorandum as a matter of j general and timely information, is-, sued through his aide de camp, Capt. < Lee: | "1 Gen.

I uaxvvu uj tiiu viai^ ui x/t f~nse, which met at the Jefferson ho-' let here at 1:30 o'clock this after-! noon The state council is still without i funds for the work which it purposes | to carry on, and pledges from a ma-! jonty of the members of both senate' and house to vote for an appropriation i of $15,000, if so much be necessary, at| the next session of the legislature, have r>^t as yet been received. A ma-! joriiy of the members of the senate have so pledged themselves, but a ma-1 jority is lacking among the members; of the house. Governor Manning,' however, stated to the comission1 that in his judgment there was no doubt the legislature would make the necessary appropriation, and he ad vised that the work be proceeded with on that assumption stating,that he would again take the mater up with the members who had not bee* heard from and if there should ge any disposition on the part of the a con? siderable number of their, to fight such an appropriation, which he did not apprehend that he would imediately notify the council and it could shape its course accordingly. It was brought out that 31 of the 45 senators have pledged themselves to support the appropriation; one.was noncommittal. None of the senators heard from Is opposed to the appropriation. The 31 senators in favor of the appropriation are more tnan two-tniras or tne mem bership of that body. Of the 124 members of the house, 51 hare pledg ed themselves to support the appro priation, lacking 12 of being a ma jority; five v^re opposed, three non committal, though favorable to it, and one non-commifeta* but unfavorable. | Labor Problem. Go\*?nor Manning brought the la bor problem to the attention of the council. He had taken the matter up with the authorities In Washing- j ton and had been assured, he stated, that the government would do what it could to correct conditions. He had emphasized to the department of-' Rcials, he stated, that under the plan :>f contract for cantonment and gov srnment work, where the profits were )ased on a percentage of the taotaL ?ost of construction, it would be to! :he interest of the contractors to make he cost as large as possible and the1 i esult would be ruinous in its effestaj n regard to labor, especially having i tendency to aepiete tne rarms on heir labor. The department officials; le said, had promised to give relief in he matter by every means at their :ommand. i He also called attention to the' act that v/nen the South Carolina roops are recalled from guard duty, mder the orders reecntly issued, the ransportation facilities of the state vill be without protection. He had lot seen any absolute necessity for, l great deal of guarding, he said, but' iome railroads were asking for pro-j ection and were pointing out the dis-i ister which would result if some tf their important trestles oh the J nain lines, particularly, were injur-, >d or destroyed. He referred to the ict in the interest of home guards! >assed by congress only several diys' igo, and said that he was receiving: l great many letters from people in. | lifferent parts of the state desiring! >ermission to form these guards and o receive such equipment as wffl be urnished by the War Department. Both these matters v;ere taken up or discussion by the State council, vith a view or relieving labor conai-; ions as far as possible, and to the j organization of state guards scatter ed throughout the state. This latter | natter will be taken up by the council i hrough the governor's office and its; mportance emphasized, to the end of; laving the state thoroughly protect-' ;d ai every important point. I Country Committees. The county chairman who were ap >ointed todav will select members of heir county committees, the size ofj which will be determined by each! chairman, but to include at least one! Tom each township. That all impor :ant interests in the county should be represented on the committees will be' by the State council.
