FALL GARDEN NOTES.
Beets, cabbage, lettuce, mustard,
enloni, garden peas, radish, spinach
and turnips can be planted in the fall
garden.
Sow beet seed the latter part of
September. The plants will stand
the winter and produce beets for ear-!
ly spring use.
Good cabbage plants of the Wake- j
field variety net in early September
will form heads in December. With
alight protection both cabbage and!
collards will carry through our,
severest winters.
Kale sown during'September will
produce an abundance of greens during
winter and early spring. Siberian'
Curled is a good fall variety.
Sow Big Boston lettuce for a fall
and winter supply. With slight pro-|
tection firm heads can be had In
January and February.
Mustard will stand any ajpount of
cold and seed sown during September,
will furnish greens throughout
the fall, winter and early spring.
Whlto Pearl 111H Prliptakcr are
splendid onion varieties for all plant-J
ing. Sets of these varieties will'
furnish green onions during the,
winter and early spring. Seeds may >
be sown from September 20 to October
15. ' *
Plant garden peas during Novem-1
ber for the earliest spring peas. Alas-'
Ira is a good variety for fall planting.
Long White Spanish radishes or
some of the other winter varieties
will remain in good condition
throughout the wtnter. Sow seed the
last of September.
Though commonly sown for pasturage.
rape seed sown in September
will yield excellent winter greens. i
Spinach seed sown in late September
or early October will produce
greens throughout the winter until,
late spring.
Sow turnips from the first to
twentieth of September. This is one
of our reliable vegetables "that will
produce both roots an<j tops for winter
and spring. The White Egg should
be sown for turnips and the Seventop
for greens.

TO HELP CONTROL WEEVILS.
Pick Rapidly, Destroy Stalks Thoroughly
aiul Clean the Fields
Thoroughly.
Cleiuson College, Sept. 21 ? The
earlier the cotton stalks are destroyed,
the fewer the boll weevils that
will survive the winter and consequently
the smaller the damage to the
next crop, says Professor A. F. Conradi,
entomologist, who Advises that
as far as possible the stalks be destroyed
at least two weeks before the
first killing frost, for the early fall
destruction of cotton stalks is practically
the' most important single step
in any system of fighting the boll
weevils. In other words, meaning
of the fields, destroying the stalks
and the planting of cover crops constitute
most powerful weapons for
weevil fighting now in the hands of
the farmers, who by efficient fall
farm management can dictate to a
great extent how many weevils shall
pass tthe winter on his farm. This(
fall cleaning program is also of the.
greatest benefit generally in destroy-i
lng the winter homes and the winter
fcod plants of other injurious pests

grown state. Hibernation usually begins
with the coming of the first
killing frost. The weerils hibernate
principally in cotton fields, and
standing stalks make for them splendid
winter homes. The most favorable
condition for successful hibernation
is found in fields where cotton stalks,
grass, weeds, dead leaves, etc. are
left during the winter. There are
little prospects for successful cotton
growing under such conditions.
In some sections the stalks are
uprooted, piled and burned. This
has the very serious disadvantage of
destroying a large amount of vegetable
matter which should be turned
under. Whenever the farmer is
equipped with plows and mules to
turn under the stalks five to six
inches after they have been cut down
with the chopper, it is a very effective
plan. A less effective method
1b to graze off all green cotton within
a period of a few days. Whatever
the method the destruction of stalks
must be thorough.
Some of the many advantages secured
from cleaning the fields and
destroying the stalks are: (1) *A
great many full grown weevils are
killed outright: (2) "Many young
stages in the plants are killed: (3)
The full grown weevils not killed will
be weakened by starvation if the
stalks are destroyed two to three
weeks before the first frost and these
will rnt hflvo enffiniont of von o-fK irk
pass the winter successfully. The
removal of the stalks also facilitates
fall growing and the planting of
cover crops.
Where stalks are chopped and
plowed under, the land should be
disked in order to help prevent weevils
from escaping.

WARNING TO SWEET
POTATO GROWERS.
Clemson College, Sept. 21 ? Sweet
potatoes should be dug before frost
or continued cold weather approaching
frost, according to the Extension
Service horticulturists, who warn
that the sweet potato is a tropical
p'ant and that both vines and roots
may be damaged by temperature
obove the frost point.
The prevalent idea that the vines

i ?<u?b mv iivovcu ucivic i^ic yuiaiuco
are dug is wrong and the practice is
dangerous. It is unsafe to wait later
than the dates below to gather potatoes.
Many growers who waited until
frost last year lost their entire
crop, regardless of the kind of storage
facilities.
The approximate earliest date of
the first killing frost in the Piedmont
section is October 23, in the Sandhill
section November 1, in the Coastal
section November 9.
Of the two evils, immaturity and
fiost iniurv. the former \ a loo ct I
jurious, as the immature potatoes can
be kept, while frostbitten potatoes
cannot be kept under any condition.
Vines should not be removed except
from potatoes to be dug the
same day. Experiments and observations
indicate that potatoes so treated
are hard to cure. However, if
frost kills the vines before potatoes
can be dug, the main stem should be
clipped at base of plant before thawing
takes place.
The house should be filled within
two or three days and curing should
begin on first day, depending on
weather conditions, and continued
ten to tonrteenjdays depending' upon
wtather conditions.

Weekly Cotton Letter by Savannah
Cotton Factorage Co.
There continued to be wide fluctuations
in the cotton market this week.
October cotton advanced from 18.45
on September 9 th to 21.45 on the
10th. This advance was caused by reports
of a severe storm in Taxas. On
Monday, September 12th, a wave of
profit-taking set in, resulting in a decline
from 21.50 to 19.50. From September
13th to date fluctuations have
not been bo violent but the market is
still very nervous.
The Census Bureau's Consumption
report was published this week and
showed 467,103 bales consumed by
American mills in August, against
483,560 last year. While this decrease
was disappointing it was more than
offset by a reduction of some 124,000
bales in spinners' stocks. Exports
during August totaled 495,130,
against 146,668 in 1920.
The Government's Weekly Weather
Review reported the cotton plant to
be in poor to very poor condition, and
added that little or no Improvement

the next report may be larger than
that of last year; bat we do not think
large ginning figures can last longer
than October.
Farmers and buyers should continue
to market their cotton slowly In
order to prevent a decline.
Herald Advertising Polls.
The following was the foot-note to
a letter. The Herald received a few
days ago from a well known advertising
agency:
"NOTE: This advertiser has reduced
the number'of papers he is using
and continues to use your paper
because it brings results. Just wanted
you to know your advertising pulls."
