i son College on July 22,^23, and 24, i
1 194*7. The staff of instructors in-.]

Lectures, discussions and demon
strations of interest to the farmer
in handling his dairy cattle, feeding,
breeding and management problems
will be on the program.
The program is too long to pub
lish in this news column, but in
loiking over the program there is
not a question but what a dairyman
attending this short course would
be paid many times for* his time.
Any one wishing to have a copy
of the prgoram may write J. P. La-
Master, head of Dairy Department,
Clemson, S. C. One, copy of the
program may be seen at the County
Agent’s office.
Registration and assignments of

1:00 p.m., Tuesday, July 22, in the
lobby of the YMCA. There is a
charge of 50c for the entire period.
Meals in Mess Hall at 50c for
breakfast, 65c for lunch, and G5c
I for supper. Those staying in college
dormitories are to furnish their own
j sheets, pillow cases, towels and soap.
Much Damage fey Boll Weevils
Unless cotton is dusted now or
favorable hot, weathter, the boll wee
vil infestation is bound to 'seriously
damage this year’s cotton crop in
Laurens countty. 4
Reports on Tegular checked farms
this spring the past week showed
that farm number one had eleven
per cent infestation with thirteen
per cent the week before following ]
five applications of sweet poison, j
Farm dumber two showed three per
cent infestation .with four per cent
the week before following three
applications .of sweet poison. Farm]
number three had six per cent in
festation with five per cent the week,
before following two applications
of sweet poison. Farm number four
had four per cept infestation with
five per cent the week before fol
lowing three application. Farm*
number five with 32 per cent infesta
tion with 18 per cent the week be
fore following two applications of
sweet poison. Farm number six
wtih 20 per cent infestation and dead
weevils found in field following third
application of sweet poison. No
check on the farm the week.before
due to rain. Farm number seven
using "commercial mix showed 15
per cent infestation following three
applications with 600 live weevils
per acre the week before. In check
ing infestation here and there ,over
the county the past week showed
some fields ran as high as 59 per
cent infestation.
Most cotton in the county has pass
ed the stage for applying sweet
poison; .dusting is the only practical
weevil control. According, to rec
ommendations of Entomologists of
Clemson College Extension Service,
Calcium Arsenate dust should be
applied to cotton where there is a
tetn per cent infestation at the
rate of two to three pounds per
acre or when mixed on a 50-50 basis
with lime, four to six pounds' per
acre. By mixing Calcium Arsenate
[with lime, using equal parts, aidfift
in getting a good dust coverage with—
iout using large amounts of Calcium
Arsenate which is damaging to the
soil 'if over used.
I Recommend at least two to three
applications five to six days apart,
applied late in afternoon or early in
morning while the air is still and
plants moistened with dew. Care
should be taken to not dust near
pastures or commercial 1 peach or
chards when the Calcium Arsenate
will drift due to burning peach
leaves and poisoning livestock pas
tures.
