The arrival ti of the cotton boll weevil, the scarcity and high cost of farm labor, and the greatly increased cost of seeds and e commercial fertilizers make it abso- f, lutely necessary for the farmer who 01 is not in business for his heaith and b; pleasure, but for a good living to study andl apply farm practices that " increase crop yields. ti Coastal Plain Soils Deficient in Or.1 a ganmc Matter Coastal Plain soils, generally speQak ing, are dleficient in organic matter. n Ini ordler that the most priofitable pro (uction of crops shall be securedl, even when using fertilizing materials, it ~ will be necessary to so arrange the crop) rotations that organic matter in considlerable quantities will be turned back into the soils low in this mater- o 0 ial. In arranging the rotations, ita ticable to provide, lby the growing of suitable leguminous crops andl turn- sI igthem in, the required nitrogen in ai tesoils for the nonleguminous crops di of the rotation. In ordler to growv the sI leguminous criop~s of the rotation suc- th cessfully and in some cases, too, the vi nonleguminous erops-it will be neces- pi sary to use liberal quantities of lime al ni t< ul Men in) the beginning.

It is quite evident from ie large number of acid or sour soils the Coastal Plain section of South irolina that not near enough lime is ced by the farmers at the present me to secure the largest and most -oitable production of crops. I be ,ve that drainage, lime and cover ops will greatly increase the produc vity of your soils. A Blanket of Green Let us put a blanket of green on rery acre of our cultivated lands this Il. It will keep thousands of dollars ' fertility from being washed away r the winter rains, and will increase 'r production next fall, besides add g to the attractivenes sof our coun y.

"Producing imily andl Farm Supplies on the Cot n Farm," andl to a "Safe Farming rogram for the Southern States in 20-1921." The Fullness of Our D~ay In closing I bring to you the words Henry WV. Grady, of Georgia, who far b)ack as 1888 gave voice to this1 "WXhen every farmer in the South all eat bread from h is own fiels d meat from his own pastures andi sturbed bly no credlitors, and enslav avedl by no debt, shall sit amid his am ing gardens, and orchards, and neya rds, anad dairies, anad barn-yards tceuing his crops to his own wisdom id growing them in independence, akmng cotton his clenan surplus, and IIling it in his own time, and in his aosen market, and not at a master's ddin jg-getting his pay in cash and >t in a receiptedl mortgage that dis Iarge's his deobt, but does not restore s freedom-then shall be breaking e fullness of our clay.''

This Is aecomplishedl by ean ing up the old 1920 cotton reIds, including all trash and waste 'enurring a round the fields. The eevils that wvill enter the cotton ulds next spring are the weevils tat stay over winter. After a crop) nmale the lhate gre wth of sqhuares, looms, and young b)olls continue to breeding places for the weevils. 1 (11( infested fields it is a common ghat to find from one to six weevils eacnh grnwing lntini the fieldu nd Beath TI id Merchandi i produce the go merchandise, ml us and the consi Suits, H 75.

C. an(] this means from five thousand to twenty-fivP thousand per acre at the time of the first killing frost. The weevils that develop lat e in the fall are the ones which are most likely to pass the winter safely. To prevent this late weevil development in the field is most important. Most if the weevils continue to feed and breed as long as green cotton may )e found. Immediately after the first killing frost the weevils begin leunting for winter-quarters. During the cokil weather of winter they are inactive andl in hibiernation. G;enerally the weevils do not fly fa from the cotton fieldls to go into winter quarters. 'The most suitable ondlitions for weevil-wintering are oundl in t hose fields in which cot ~on stalks, dleadl grass, weedsB, fallen eaves, unkept hedge rowvs and creek bianks occur. E~xperiments have hown that where those dlirty condi tions of the farm are allowecd to ex st (luring the winter, a tremendous umber of weevils successfully piass ~he winter and attack the crop next plring. The farmer in wveevilI in fest ~d sections must choose whether he v'ants to destroy the wveevils this fall r have them dlestroy his crop next eason. F'ollowing are sonme of the reasons why cotton fields should be cleaned ip in the fall and stalks destroyedl >y pilowing them under or by graz.. ng: Fi rst, mtil lions of weevils are killed mutright. Second, the undlevelopedl staiges of he weevil are dlestroyed with stalks. Thirdl, destroying the stalks about ,woi weeks before the first killing frost will wenken the full grown't weevils by starvation. lFourth, the removal of the stalks "One of the most. promising fea tures of the country newspaper of Loday is the increased interest that it takes, andl the increased space that ift gives, to farming. TIhe newvspa pet of the small town reflects better than any other institution the spirit of its community, and the greater attention no0w paid to farming be toikens a greater realization that fa rming is the primary indlustry of this region and, for tha t matter, of the wvhole country.

The farmer has begun to realize that these are facts and to take greater interest in the local paper as a medium of service to him in his business. But there is room for greater appreciation of the local pa per and wider use of it as an adlver tisinrg medium for the sale of pro (ucts as well as an important chan nel of agricultural new.; and infor mat ion. P'erha ps, too, there is room for keeper realization on the part of the countriy newspaper of its op portun ity andl responsibility as a st rong agency for the betterment of agriculture. - 0 TD'IIEI,Y GAltI)EN NOTES Clenmsoni College, October 26.
