[ Field AndjCarden Bogs Kotos from ths Entomologist On InMd PmU. l; ! y * ' J Ctemson College, April 19.?The toll weevil ha* spread orer tto greater portion of South Carolina. In several of the coastal counties it Is enterlag its third year of infestation. In cms of a wet season severe damage may be expected in Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, Allendale, Barnwell, Colleton and Charleston counties. Considerable damage may also occur in the other coastal sections. The fundamental procedure in boll weevil control is intelligent diversification resulting In greatly Improved Vsfl fertility, soil comditlons. An early crop of cotton is very necessary im weevil years. Minor operations are profitable under favorable conditions, each as hasdpleklng of fallen quares and collecting of punctured squares and bolls. These ma]/ be advantageoasly practiced where labor is cheap and available, for example, oa plantations operated by families with a number of children that can be employed. The latest development in weevil oontrol Is poisoning, but this method I is yet in the experimental stages. The work eo far done has been on Mississippi Delta plantations and the results secured are most promising. While It is not expected that this method will ever eradiate the pest, pet viewing the results so far secured together with the history of weevil poisoning, the prospects are very premising that this method is to develop into an Important factor in boll weevil oontrol. A great many aetaiie must yet be worked oat experimentally. There will yet be continued Improvements In the dusting machines and in the manufacture of ealcium arsenate, which appears to be one of the most difficult insecticides to manufacture. Furthermore, | the various details that present themselves on the different plantations eutside of the Mississippi Delta will be worked out se that a definite and logical system of poisoning can be ! recommended. Under any conditions, J poisoning in this state In 1920 should ! ealy be undertaken where weevil j damage Is expected to be severe; it ! should be undertaken oa a small1 aehle enly, and whea once begun it .should be repeated aa oftea as necessary in a thorough manner br the r results are likely to be unsatisfactory. Experimental work will be conducted to the coastal eountles of this state where the weevil is expected to be / most Injurious. A number of planters will no doubt oonduot poisoning operations with maohlneo and mate rials probably available. No ems should undertake dusting without resolving full and authentic informstfoa about dueling machines and the adoption of proper safeguards tm puruaelag and applying calcium' arseaate. full information may. be obtained by writing to the U.

Title peat latrodoced Into Teste several years age where it was held at bay by the eon bleed efforts at the Federal Horticultural Board and the Texas authorities, hae assumed a threatening attitude. This peel extended its areas to Texas; It than got ?wuy and established itself in the , three southwestern counties in Louisiana; and from these points shipments of cotton were msde to various and sundry points before Its presence was discovered. Both Texas and Louisiana have increased their machinery for dealing with the situation, but la the meantime great precautions are necessary to prevent the spread of the poet to other sections of the cotton states. Drastic Quarantine measures 'have been aJdopted or art contemplated by the Tarioue cotton states, and these are to be In force at least until the limits of distribution of the pes^ are fain determined. This is one of the iroret Insect pests of cotton, and wherever it appears in boll weevil Infrgrted territory, the damage may be expected to Increase not less than 25 yer cent. GARDEN INSECTS. \ The principal sprays used against garden inseots are arsenate of lead cr arsenate of lkne (also known as cal;&rien(Wte or caloium arsenate) for eating insects, and nicotine concentrates for sucking insects. Against petato beetles, cabbage worms Mid other eating Inseots on hardy plants Paris Green can be used if properly mads, but It should not be used on tender plants. Calcium arsenate is cheaper than arsenate of lead and can be used on most garden plants If it is Insisted that it contains not over .71 per cent soluble arsenic. Nicotine is purchased as nicotine milpfcate and' is in very concentrated form. 14 is made up at the rate of a teaspoonful to an ordinary pni! of a ? ? ? 4a ? Aft v.

Remedied Suggested CI am ton College, April II.?'WTtl the coming of spring and fresh pas tares a greet many farmers, milk producers, end consumers % are con fronted with the usual, end to a cer tain extent Inevitable, lavor and odor of onions is milk products. The presence of onlos flavor in milk doet *ot indicate tnai U1? mm coriaramg this flavor has bees produced ox handled under unsanitary conditions, tor %ees the presqpce oI the flavor and odor render the milk unwholesome (or human consumption. But the onion flavor in milk, even to a alight degree, is such a pronounced and unpleasant one to the great ma Jority of oonsumerg that from a commercial standpoint all milk so affected is unfit. Cream from this milk may be used for butter making, though the resulting butter will still retain the objectionable flavor to a marked degree. As s result of this trouble In milk, many producers and dealers suffer every spring considerable financial loss, a part of which, af least could be avoided if proper precautions were taken ^nd preparetlon made for the short time during which the trouble arises. As to remedies and treatment of "oniony" milk, the only sure and effective means lies in prevention. If onions are present in th# pasture they must come out, or the milk cow must be kept out for severel hours prior to milking time, elseWhe milk " ill surely have the characteristic objectionable odor and flavor. Should the onion* be few, or should they be confined to a limited area, it might be possible and advisable to. pull up the plants by hand before seed are produced and thus eventually rid the pasture of them. On the other hand, if the pasture Is badly Infested the only course to follow is to take the milk cows off the pasture early in the afternoon, at least four or fire hours before milking time. The onion plant is one of the first to begfa growing in tfae spring, and the cow, with her natural craving for green succulent feed at this season of the year, is not at all particular about what she eats while the gra* lng is so scant In this connection a grazing lot of rye or rye and barley, or clover and barley serves a double purpose. If the cow ts allowed access to such grazing lots for an hour or so each day net only will her milk flow be vsry much Increased but her hunger for green feed wiN be satisfled to such an extent that she will be more careful about grazing on wild onions while in the pasture. The onion flavor in milk is only one, though perhaps the most pronounced and objectionable, of many food flavors which often get into milk from the oow. Such feeds as rape, rutabagas, cabbage and wet brewer's grains, when fed either Just prior or during milking, often Impart quite pronounced and objectionable flavors to milk. Any of the above feftrin however, mav safely be fed just after milking or several boars before mllkinc without effecting the flavor of the milk in anjr way. to tt Is where conditions make it neoeasary to grase milk cows on onion infested pastures. If the cows are turned on these pastures immediately after milking in the morning &ad then driven up about moon, there should be little if any trace of onion flavor in the milk. Especially is this true where the cows are allowed to graze on green grazing lots which are free from the wild onions or where a good grade of corn silage is fed as a succulent feed. Various methods of removing the onion flavor and odor from milk se contaminated have' been tried out with lhtle success. Perhaps the most common as well as th% most effective treatment is that of aeration. But even with this method, the amount of the objectionable flavor and odor removed is so small that it Is impossible to render contaminated milk free from taint. Summary. 1. Allow milk cows to run on onion infested pastures only in the forenoon. Drive them up four or five hours before milking time. 2. Provide green grasing lots, or have an abundance or corn silage, to Increase the flow of milk and to ap pease the cow's 'craving for green feed. S. Take estra precautions with the handling and cooling of the milk in order that no bad odors and flavors might develop to augment the objectionable ones from the onions. AVOID COUNTRY DAMAGE TC I COTTON J In a recent tent by the Bureau ol [ Markets It was shown that a hale ol cotton exposed to the weather for ( months lost by weather damage 7( pounds from Its ordinal weight. A1 the prevailing price of 40 cents pei pound this loss would be $30.51 The bale could have heen stored ir a good warehouse and Insured for ( months for less than $3.00.
