It is estimated, therefore, that the . farmer who secures yields of a bale of cotton per acre, over 25 bushels of corn, over 1250 pounds of peanuts, and over 30 ^bushels of outs should j make a fair profit on these crops, provided he uses efficient management and shows good judgment in his farming.

Yes, But it Doesn't Mean Anything Clemson College, Jan. 24.?Is it true the boll weevil has been plac-: ed between two blocks of ice and was alive after all the ice had melted? This is a question asked frequently of P^f. A. F. Conradl, entomologist, an authority on boll weevil matters. Prof. Conradi's answer to a recent, enquirer should be of interest ami in- i formation to all, as it throws real : light on the matter. The Answer That is very likely true. Anollu-r fad is to bore a hole in a block of ice in which a boll weevil is then 1 hermetically sealed for twenry-iouv hours. Why should the experimenter be surprised that the beetle is still j alive? Melting icc has a t-r.ipe''itare of approximately 32 dc::r cs Fah'*enheit, and a boll weevil sealed within \ or between ice experiences r.-> radia- . tion or evaporr.ion and is therefore, not in the least affected by weather changes. Partridges, rabbits and other small jramc frequently seel; shelter under the snow :n cold winter weather; Ice , floes and snow drifts are net. infre quenliy resortea to oy man m v North for temporary shelter In cold stormy weather. We have-successfully kept weevils' and other iiasec s in -brine chamber ! and- ice boxefc under dry atmospheric j coditions, but we have never succeed ed in keeping: xhem for prolonged periods in ice boxes unprotected against , moisture. The weevil, like people, responds much more easily to radical j changes in cool weather than to un iform conditions that obtain in an ice box. No Practical Bearing on Weevil J Control Putting the weevil in a block of ice ! is more than twenty years old. It | was done in Texas when the weevil first arrived, and as the weevil migrated eastward, this practice continued to be one of the fads in newly infested territory year after year. The test has no practical value "whenever, as there is no semblance to the ; natural changeable conditions that ob-, tain in the open. seventy-one Homeless WHEN ORPHANAGE BURNS The main domitory of the Rescue . orphanage was destroyed by fire Jan. : 8th, and seventy-one little children j were made homeless. At present! thev are crowded together into the . other buildings and some are in tents.| This orphanage is non-sectarian, is, managed by a board representing five j different denominations and takes children who cannot get in anywhere else. $40,000 is needed quickly to re house tiiesc cnildren, wno come trom every corner of the state. All people everywhere are ask-id to: help. ^ s- f. - | ?* ??H > ^ 1 .k 3? , *2tfa ?
