Would you advise me to plow up the cotton and plant some other crop?" This is a question being asked by hundreds of South Carolina farmers in the infested counties of " the state, says Prof. A. F. Conradi, chief of the entomology division, who says that advice from any source concerning this matter is not dependable for there is no man who can tell in advance whether or not it would be wise to plow up cotton and plant other crops on account of _ boll weevil infestation. The cotton boll weevil is an insect whose activities depend on weather conditions. If the weather in June and July is comparatively warm and dry, we may expect to mtike a cotton crop so far as the weevil is concerned. In other words, abundance of weevils at this season of the year is no indication of the loss that mayy be expected, for the reason that so far the weevil has had every advantage and the cotton every disadvantage. On the other hand, if June and July are comparatively wet, we may exCROP CONDITION SHOWS AN UN SATISFACTORY CONDITION Very little fafm work accomplished during the past week on account of rain. Corn.

Early plantings suffered a severe set back on account of frosts in April. Acreage will show an increase over last year. Cotton. * There will be a material reduction in cotton acreage, though it is too early to definitely ascertain the percentage of decrease. Stands are poor. Reports are to the effect that much has died during the past ten days or two weeks. Replanting has been necessary in many sections. It appears now that good stands wil not be obtained in advance of the aver' age date, though spring was unusualy early and planting began from two to three weeks earlier than usual. The indications are, however, that stands will remain poor for the reason that oiany farmers prefer a TRESPASS NOTICE.

Until poisoning: has reached a more certain and "fool-proof" stage, cotton growing under boll weevil conditions will continue to be a gamble. A sound policy, therefore, demands that every farmer grow his food and feed and raise cotton only as a surplus cash crop. Every cotton farmer in the infested territory should read most carefully Circular 162 of the United States Department of Agriculture, which is a very brief and definite discussion of the subject of poisoning the weevil. poor stand of early cotton rather than take the chances in replanting and securing a good stand .of late cotton which will certainly be sub I I jected to greater danger from boll weevil lavages. Wheat. j Conditions only fair. Heads short and rust has appeared in many places. Oats. Early varieties are being harvested and satisfactory yields are generally reported .especially on well improved soils or where nitrate of soda was properly used. Potatoes. Commercial crop of irish potatoes in coastal counties is beginning to move in car lots. Acreage of sweet potatoes will show an increase over last year. A number of curing houses have been erected and others are being erected. Fruits. Peaches were badly injured by frosts in April, the commercial crop in the Ridge section being reduced ^ to almost a failure. Miscellaneous. Much that :was accomplished in the preparation for spring planting and seeding by reason of the very early spring has been offset by the unusually cold weather for the past three weeks. It now appears that crops will be but little, if any, iip advance of the average. HOW TO MAKE A DKLItJRTiTL C:iKESE Clemson College.

"ix Tin: son*" This phrase, expressive of being in difficulty, is said to have originated at the Polo Grounds, Xew York, on June S, ISSs. at a baseball game between Xew York and Chicago. The Chicago team appeared in full-dress ruits ( .') and were promptly dubbed "waiters" by the crowd. Chicago was defeated 19 to 2, and some one shouted "The waiters are in the soup!"

The facilities offered by the American International Banking Company and the War Finance Corporation for aiding the Corporation in increasing the volume of its ox-* port trade are enabling it to get into longer strides, which will mean a steady movement of exported cotton hereafter. ] VICTIMS | ppo'inj istf^ iu.-J <*0? *X\jr 'itjJtSy'' Kidney, liver, bhicUior ar.rl uric add troubles are inosf: danrirons because oi" their insidious cunc!:r>.
