Long i leaf pine produces large seed full of I rich food, so that it is eagerly sought a by insects, birds, and hogs. I In view of the fatt th4t many thou sand acres will probably be carpeted I with long-leaf seedlings next spring, Forest Service officials urge owners J of long-leaf pine lands to take special care in protecting the seedlings from fire. They point out that it would cost $6 to $10 per acre to do artifically what nature has done gratis. Most of the tender seedlings are killed (luring the first year or two of their existence. Many of the remaining smal ltrees suc ceed in surviving fires, though with t more or less injury. Hogs in regions where these trees grow destroy prac tically all the seedlings they can get at by eating the soft, succulent bark around the tap root. It is urged that, if possible, they be excluded entirely from land growing seedlings. t On lands burned over in the cold season and not oftener than every two or three years the majority of the long-leaf seedlinge may be expected to survive. Annual burnings by very hot fires kill practically all this young growth in the course of a few years. The common belief that greE do not injure long-leaf pines or that they are even necessary for natural reproduc tion is without loundation, though the tree does offer remarkalble resistance to injury from fire. Tender young secedling, however, are easily killed, and there is every reason for begin ning this year to provide permanent protection for these valuable trees. THE ONE-YEAR AGRICULTURAL COURSE Clemson College, September 21. Every young farmer.in South Caro lina who has not the time or the money to ake a full four-year course, should consider the advisa bility of going to Clemson on Oc tober 1st to take the eight-months' course in agriculture. This course is intensely practical in its nature, and will give to the yung farmer a knowledge of his profession which he could not obtain otherwise. NoL wnly wilD he obtain this edu cation in agriculture, but he will be noe of the cadet corps getting mili tary and physical training, and hay ing every advantage that the reg ular students enjoy. There is yet time to file applica tion for this short course, and every young farmer who can do so is ear co-1 iestly urged to take advantage of his great opportunity. Inquiries hould be addressed to The Regis rar, Clemson College, S. C., who ill reply promptly and give full in ormatoion. HE ARMY WORM SITUATION Clemson College, Sept. 9-The bird generation of the army worm s now working full force, and these vorms will be active for a period of en (lays, says A. F. Conradi, State Pntomologist. According to the ap earance of the situation at this time, here will be a recurrence of this out ireak next spring unless unexpected vinter weather should occur. At this ime the principal damage is to forage rops, and farmers are advised to kee) in hand for ready reference informa ion card No. 2, because the use of the iran mixture on forage crops is en irely practical. Farmers are cau ioned to keep this information Card in file so that they may have it next pring. A large amount of forage has been lost this season unnecessar ly because of lack of time and infor nation at the critical moment. ---0 BUTTERING OUR BREAD Numerous references to importa .ions of butter from Denmark, Holl md, and other countries have caused nany persons to believe that we de )end upon foreign countries for a con iderable part of our butter supply.

The geratest importation of butter on record in the United States was for the calendar year 1919, when it reached only 9,519,368 pounds; the ex ports for the same year were 34,556, 485 pounds; which gives a net export of 25,037,117 pounds. The exports of butter have never been high, but they have exceeded the imports except in a few years. In 1871 there was an import of 4,800,000 pounds of butter and an export of only 3,900,000 pounds. The next time the imports exceeded tie exports was in 1914, when the imports were 7,842,000 pounds and the exports were 3,693, 000 pounds. During and since thc European war the exports have been much larger than normally. The im portations of butter from 1884 to 909 were from a few thousand pounds to a little less than a million pounds, while the exports ranged from five million to twenty and even thirty mil lion per year. ------- SHOT IN DEFENSE, CLAIM Seville, Phi., Sept. 19.-Lester Fair cloth of Uvalda, Ga., and Charley Ed nmonds, of Chadbourn, N.
