Buchanan’s ^Kleaners Who Klean” Phone No. 28 Edited by Publicity Committee of Clinton Rotary Club ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦»♦»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Need of a school nurse to promote better attendance at the Clinton schools was urged by Prof. J. H. With erspoon, superintendent, before the lo cal Rotary club at its regular weekly luncheon meeting in the Mary Mus- grove tea room last Friday. Speaking on attendance problems at the invitation of the club. Professor Witherspoon explained that although South Carolina has a compulsory at tendance law, failure of the legisla ture to provide for enforcement offi cers has resulted in a great many chil dren of tender years being permitted and encouraged by their parents not to attend school. This condition, he said, appears to be particularly acute among residents of the Clinton cotton mill village. Although the rural policemen in variably have been ready to cooperate in enforcing school attendance when specific instances of truancy were brought to their attention, Professor Witherspoon continued, the problem is sociological rather than criminal, and better results could be obtained by other means than the employment of regular officers. Often non-attend ance is caused by slight physical de fects, he explained, which could be corrected easily if there were a school nurse whose business it was to dis cover them. In discussing general conditions which are responsible for non-attend ance, Professor Witherspoon touched on the social isolation which surrounds cotton mill employees, and urged that members of the Rotary cluh exert their influence to breaking it down. He also mentioned inability to buy books, but added that in Clinton this objection is usually overcome by be ing able to secure used books for chil dren whose parents are unable or un willing to buy them. At the conclusion of the address, a committee of three members of the club was appointed by President W. P. Jacobs to cooperate with Professor Witherspoon in any movement he car es to undertake to promote better at tendance. FARM DEMONSTRATION ♦ NEWS ♦ C. B.

Beginning of Construction, L«»»g An ticipated, Hailed As Highly Im portant Event. Columbia, Sept. 22.—The first dirt on the Saluda dam was turned today and the construction of the big hydro electric project was started. The Lex ington Water Power company’s big development is under way. FARM FOR SALE The old home place of L. H.

The moving was completed today and the big shov el started its work. This means that today will stand out in red letters on the log of the good ship Columbia, as she, moves along her course of progress. The big event which Columbia has been -anticipating for some many months has taken place. The construc tion of the big dam is under way. The cutting of earth started at the site of the mammoth diversion tun nel which will carry the water of the Saluda river under the dam while the big mountain of earth is being poured into the valley. Operations are also under way at another point in connection with the actual construction of the dam site topping the main line of the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens railroad, is being rapidly constructed. From now on, the Arundel corpora tion, builders of the dam, will rush operations. The big twenty-million- dollar project will be completed by the end of 1930. The diversion tunnel, where work of digging dirt has started, is to car ry the water of the Saluda river while the dam is being built. After the dam is completed it will serve as one of the <>'conduits to carry water from the lake < * | above the dam to the power house j which will nestle at the. lower side of i the dam. ; The diversion tunnel is to he com- ! pleted before the actual hauling of ! dirt for the big earthen dam can start. | After the tunnel begins to carry the I waters of the river, railroad tracks will be built across the valley and trams will haul dirt dug from the hillsides no both sides and dump it in to the valley for the erection of a ver itable mountain. Then when the wa ters bank up behind this big fill, Cen tral South Carolina will boast of one of the biggest lakes, and the dam will form one of the largest hydro-electric plants fn America. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ C. If. CANNON, County Agent ♦ * — ♦ i Control Grain Weevil With Carbon Bisulphide . I have had a number of calls in re gard to weevils attacking corn, small grains, peas, etc. There is a control measure for this weevil just as effec tive as the control measure for' smut in grain. This deadly weapon for wee vil is known as^carbon bisulphide. It is a liquid that may be bought at any drug store at small 'cost, compared with the good you will derive from its use. The directions are very simple and easy to follow'. If you have never tried such weevil control make an ef fort and follow the directions given below: Clean old bins thoroughly. Mato the bins or cribs tight, and select a time w’hen the temperature of the air is not below 70 degrees fahrenheit. Use carbon bisulphide at the rate of seven pounds to 100 bushels of grain as follows: i . r ■ i . Level the corn at the surface, and at points three feet apart each way pull out the ears to make holes. Into these pour the carbon bisulphide in; equal amounts. Throw the ears back and . spread blankets over the grain. Close the crib tight. Fumigation should be continued for 24 to 48 hours before the crib is opened. No venti lation is necessary except that if the crib is made of brick it should be ven tilated at the end of 36 to 48 hours. Small amounts of seed may be fu migated in a cool oil or molasses bar rel, using about three ounces of bi sulphide per barrel. After applying, cover the barreK with sacks weighted down with boards. Throughout the central and south ern parts of the state the grain wee vil and the grain moth infest the corn in the field before it is harvested, the infestation being worse in loose-fit ting shucks. These pests are hauled to the crib from the field. At every load thousands of these weevils sift through the corn and lie on the floor of *the wagon. When the wagon ts swept the sweepings should be burned and not thrown on the ground. Weevils may be controlled by fu migating with carbon bisulphide as mentioned above* This liquid, as well as the gas, is easily SET ON FIRE and then EXPLODES VIOLENTLY. For that reason it slfduld be bandied even more cautiously than gasoline; hence, fire of all kinds, including lighted pipes, cigars, candles, lamps, etc., should be kept away. Lofts should hot be fumigated when live stock is kept under them. When the material is not in use it may be stor ed in a cool place. The time is at hand for the saving of grains from weevils, and 1 would suggest that you use every effort to control same and let it never be said i _ THE BIG THING—TODAY! * KEEP YOUR PLANT RUNNING 100% Pick out concerns to serve you that you know by their SERVICE and PRICES.
