Notes From The County Agent's Office By C. B. CANNON, Connty Agent 4-H Clnb Boys Growing Quail Curtis Wallace, son at Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Wallace, Gray Court, Rt. 1, and Gary Gibbs, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Gary Gibbs, Sr., Laurens, Rt. 3, are 4-H club boys taking part in the quail raising project. Curtis has 38 young birds and Gary has 36. CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank each and everyone eight boys on the list to receive birds pro vided they are available. The club boys are given the young quail by Mr. O'Dell and will return 50 percent of the Hve birds at the age of seven weeks to Mr. ODell and the 50 per cent of birds kept by the club boy is to be turned loose on the farm for re stocking. Under no condition can the birds kept by the club members be sold this year. The club boy may raise for sale next year quail of his own raising if he so chooses. Four-4 club boys as a rule getting birds are those who planted bi-color, a plant producing seed for bird, food, last fall. Seven boys planted 7,000 bi-color plants. These plants given to the boys by the South Carolina Game and Fish Department. Boll Weevil Talking No Peace According to the boll weevil i who w'as so kind to me during my stay at Hays hospital and convales- tension workers and the following cence period at home. The flowers, agriculture teachers, S. C. Gambrell,! cards and inquiries were deeply ap- Owings, the boll weevil is strength- preciated. May God bless you. ening its line of attack. The average infestation of squares on fields not poisoned was 14-5 percent and where poison applied the infestation aver aged only 3.5 percent. The infesta tion for the week of June 18 showed four percent infestation where no poison used and two percent infes tation on poisoned fields. These figures should cause farmers to not delay poisoning a single day. Rroof from last year has convinced many farmers that boll weevils will eat up a cotton crop, and other farm- | ers have proved just as convincingly! that the boll weevil can be controlled.! The thing you should be concerned with is, “What are you going to do about your weevils?” —MRS. CHARLES BARNES. . Gray Funeral Home Clinton, 8. C. FUNERAL DIRECTORS ...and...
