FIGHTING THE INSECT PESTS x 4 ^tiggertiorta From the Entomologist Absut Combating Boll Weevils, gcules, Twig Glrdters, Stored Oroin Insects, ?to. % Clemson OoHego, Dec. 29.-?Hie farm?rs of South Carolina have come face ; 0o face witb the boll weevil problem and never before has it been necessary j for them to do as careful planning during the winter aa it la now. The boll weevil injury Is directly dependent up- j on tho weather conditions. If . the sea-1 son Is moist and favorable for weevQ development, very serious damage la expected in the southern part of the state approximately belbw a line ex-1 tending from Augusta to Charleston,. hut severe damage may also be expect1 ed in tho Coastal counties between: Charleston and the North Carolina line tf the season is wet. One of the most Important betbits that we must form In general farm management is to practice farm cleaning during tho fall and winter because . most of our insect peats, including ths boll weevil, find winter sheiteT in the dead leaves and grass, and along ditch . tanVo wnwfn ? J * - * ? ~ ? * ?-i ivuud i u wd, wvuu iuis, uiu urea?rd3 and roadsides. Several of our most serious pests find winter-quart ora pi and aronnd the cotton and corn talks during the winter. If for any , 'reason these stalks hare not been prof erly cleaned np by plowing under, burn- j tag. or otherwise by December first, ft should bo d-ono Immediately; and 11; any remain by January first, they ebon Id not bo allowed to stay one day longer. In the dead grass, along wood jtots, under bark, and around stumps . tfhat are left In the field millions ol field crop Insect pests winter eucceea fully. Therefore, a farmer should neve* fall to look upon the stumps In the field as a winter hotel for the accom? datlon of farm pests. The Shot Hofe Borer. In many of tbe oi-chards at thin sea eon of tho year there are trees that have tho bark full of small boles the else of a number eight shot. Thees holes are made by the shot hole bores or fruit lKirk beetle, and as this pest (*ays in tho beirk during the winter In the grub stage, It is now tbe propei time of the year to give it very cIobo attention. A tree infested with shot hole borers Is not to be regarded as a sound tree. In most cases It has been weakened by.peach tree borer In tha crown, or scale on tbe bark, or both, and when a troe Is thus weakened It hocomes an ideal breeding ground toy the shot hole borer. Prune the tret .back thorongbly and cnt out all badly Infested branches; But If you do nol Intend to burn this material Immediate. iy, then you might as well leave It on the tree. Burn all pruned material and >do not let It lln In *!#? niv>i?n1 Control Of Scales. The lime-sulphur wash, one of the tnsectteidee used for the control ol scale, may be purchased la the market or It may he <made at home preferably toy means of a steam holler. It can also "tHi made by the nse of a large iron hot tie, provided the correct formula is ?sed and directions followed closely.' For Information as to where the ma. I terlal can be obtained write to the Ex- j tension Service. Hhose desiring to make the material at home by one method or the other can get full information by writing for Circular SO, South Carolhra Experiment Station. Two of the most generally Injurious ocales infesting the shade trees of our state are the gloomy scale and the cottony maple scale. They infest principally our sugar and silver maple trees. In tho experimental work at this CoT- i lege lime-sulpher wash has not been fonnd a satisfactory control for eitheT of these, bnt both species can be very satisfactorily controlled by the application of one of the commercial spray odls, properly mixed and properly appli-1 ed. Ask for information concerning this mothod of treatment bo that every possible mistake can be avoided in obtaining The oil, in making correct mixtures, in making the separation test : and tho proper method of application. . Pecan Twig Girdlera. Daring December and January one rfhonld not forgdt to take a good look at the pecan trees. There will be found twigs that were girdled off by tho pe can twig girdler. Inside of those fatkvn twigs are the eggs and larvae of the In sect, because the mother beetle girdles the limbs between the point where the i eggs were laid and the tree.

I 1 Stored Grain pests. . \[ During the winter Is the time to glvs g tho proper treatment to our stored products to prevent injury by the granary pests. Year after year we realize more fully the great importance of conserving our harvest from the granary post3, Including rots and mice. Wore and inore it is realized that vr* must have better constructed granaries that will admit of fumigation. When the granary construction is properly done, fumigation is very simple and very effective aa well as inexpensive. Carbon bisulO&tde, which is tho proper furmlgant, is obtained in the mai^et at this time at a nrfcr#> onmnHi-tlvfllv tnnrb mom reason able than most of our other commercl- J a) products.

Vigorous assistance in the moremeat to reduce the high cost ol living through encouraging sane spending, will be given by tho War Loan Organization of tho Fifth Federal Reserve District in 1920, according to an announcement made from Richmond, Va., by Albert S. Johnstone, director Cor this district, which includes the State of South Carolina. "With the foundation of the government's savings movement firmly laid and with a lull knowledge of the tremendous benefits which inevitably follow when the principles of thrift are adopted, the United StateB Treasury department will continue to push the movement," Director Johnstcn* said. "The War Loan Organisation of this district has enjoyed the co-operation of many able citisens," the district director continued. "Numerous banks and mercantile and Industrial establishments have rendered whole-hearted assistance while newspapers of the district, by their patriotism and generosity, have accorded a service of inestimable value. Spending, Saving and Investing. "It will be the policy of the War Loan Organisation of the Fifth Federal Reserve District during 1920 to continue to emphasize the importance of spending wisely, of saving regularly and systematically, .of Investing in sound securities. It will endeavor to find or create new markets for government securities, and to point out to investors the attractiveness of Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes, particularly when bought at market prices. Also especial emphasis will be given to tho savings movement which Is pow popularly identified with War HERE'S A ' FOR PF How It Has Furnishc Valuable While the forces of prohibition were working to the end that alcohol should be hanishcd from the U. S., there was one man who was .working along a different line from either side in the question. : For seven years this man labored in Chicago, to the perfection Of an idea he lager heer had never in the past been properly made. When war time prohibition became a fact, this man was .not yet reedy with the perfection of his 'den, hence brewers began the making of a new unfermented "near beer," a crude, undigestible. unhealthful product, which nevertheless sold in large quantities everywhere. On July if), of this year, the U. S. government issued letters patent to thin man, for a new plan of brewing and finishing .
