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

iy, then you might as well leave It on
the tree. Burn all pruned material and

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 :

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

10 FIGHT HIGH COSTS
WITH SAVINGS WEAPON
War Loan Organization of Fifth Federal
Reserve District Will Continue
to Develop Thrift and
Savings Plan.
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 . Mir, which he claims I
should have bet . in usf years ago to
make heer a pei 'oc*ly ideal beverage
for very body, nil in fact superior to
any known drink 1. all the family.
A crude axperiuit. >> plant was first
err tod in Chicago, . .ileh proved perfect
in working detd Immediately
tho Golden Grain Juk Company, of
Minneapolis, contracted for this patent
plant, which the had in working
urder Oct. 30th. at a cost of $350,000.

**A point to ha mentioned, trat wktcl
no longer needs to be emphasised, !
that thrift does not mean mlserlinesi
It means getting your money's worth
l it means the elimination of waste; 1
means saving on what yon do nc
need; it means the steadfast refusa
to bay useless luxuries; it means tli
most efficient- use of all natural am
acquired resources; it means safe
guarding against unforseen emerger
eies for the future.
Total Exceeds Billion.
Through this thrift movement, tx
gun in December 1917, the goverr
merit has msrtAtnd Jn ? "
chasers savings securities to a tota
exceeding $1,121,000,000. Despite th
falling-off in interest on the part o
the Dublic in these securities folio*
log the armistice, the sales began t
increase last summer, showing tha
the efforts of the treasury to sten
the tide of extravagance and develo;
habits of saving were beginning t
bear fruit
"The development of this saving
movement during recent months ha
been very encouraging. Since the b?
ginning of the present school yeai
more than 6,000 savings sociotie
