The Fly-One of the Greatest Enemi Clemson College, S. C.-The Mexi can cotton boll weevil made an unu sual advance across Georgia during the last two years, duo probably to the high winds. At the close of the season last fall the-.insect had reached the Savannah river and we may ex pect an invasion of South Carolina during 1917. Ordinarily it requires about three years from the date of. its first appearance until the pest reaches its maximum numbers, which still leaves a good opportunity for South Carolina to study and prepare for the situation that is to confront it. It is a mistake to regard the matter lightly because it is absolutely certain that the weevil is coming and the climatic conditions of South Carolina are such that probably greater efforts are re quired than in many localities in other states to produce a cotton crop under weevil conditions. To produce cotton after the weevil has become thorough ly established requires the best farm ing of one kind or another. The crop becoming an uncertainty under weevil conditions must be made earlier. We must begin the prepara tion of our seed bed in the fall; we alust study the best early varieties of cotton best adapted to the locality and The Cotton Boll Weevil. learn how to keep it continually grow ing after it is once planted. Whether the weevil is present or not no farm can find an excuse for not making a living for those who till it. This is the first duty and requirement of any farm. After the home supplies have been produced cotton should re ceive serious consideration. Intelli gent fertilization is of great impor tance but still greater importance is the maintainance of the soil fertility mainly by legume crops. Not only cotton stalks but all other stalks which are a part of the crop refuse should be incorporated into the soil in the fall and as far as possible the land should be planted into an ef fective cover crop to enable the land to hold its moisture, unused plant food and to prevent washing. There Is no greater agency to produce a cot ton crop than water. This has been demonstrated time and again in the cotton belt since the beginning of the weevil fight twenty-three years ago. It is important to make a cotton crop and yet it is more important to maintain the health of the community and this matter has not been given sufficient thought as can be plainly seen b~y the humber of flies we allowv the right of way every day. Flies are best controlled by caring for manures, the places where they breed. (a) Haul out and spread the manure once a week. (b) Store the manure in a dark shed-flies do not Cotton Check of $i50,000. Sumter, April 9.-The largest sale of cotton ever made in Sumter was consummated todany when C. P.

Where it is necessary to have the ma nures exposed to flies, it may be treated with borax, hellebore or Cal cium Cyanamid and Acid Phosphate as follows: BORAX. Powdered borax sprinkled over the manure at the rate of 2.3 pound to 8 bushels of manure and 2 or 3 gallons of water poured over the borax-treated manure to wash the bo rax into the manure will kill, the mag gots and keep the eggs from hatch ing. The outer edges of the manure pile should be carefully sprinkled as this is where the maggots congregate for pupation. Caution should be used in treating manures to be employed for agricul tural purposes, because of the injuri ous action on the plant growth of the excessive applications of the borax. This is the least expensive method where the manure is not intended for agricultural purposes. HELLEBORE. Powdered white hellebore when made in a solution by mixing one-half pound of hellebore to 10 gallons of water and sprinkled over the manure gives good results in 111 ing fly maggots. This solution can be made up in. large quantities and kept until wanted for use. The best re sults have been obtained by allowing the solution to stand a few hours be fore applying. The composition of the manure will not be materially chgnged by using the helleboro. An imals will not be in danger when ma nure is treated in the stables as the poison is washed into the manure. CALCIUM CYANAMID AND ACID PHOSPHATE. This mixture may be used at the rate of four pounds Cal cium Cyanamid, four pounds Acid Phosphate to every eight bushels of manure. The substances should be mixed and spread over the manure after which it is sprinkled with ten gallons of water. The addition of these materials to the manure in the proportions given greatly increase the value of the manure for agricultural purposes by holding the amonia which generally passes off as gas in the un treated material. This form of nitro gen is more slowly available as plant food than the ordinary nitrates. It should be applied to the crop not less than seventy to eighty days before harvest in order that the nitrogen may be completely utilized by that crop. NOTE. The Calcium Cyanamid which is a medium for slow acting fertilizers is handled by manufactur ers of mixed fertilizers. MAGGOT TRAPS.
