They averaged 960 Ant Control The little Argentine ant was get ting to be quite a household pest at places in Laurens county. County Agent Cannon called for help from Clemson, and W. C. Johnson, one of the extension bug men, went down. They treated a number of premises, using chlordane dusted on the ground around houses at the rate of 25 pounds per acre. Later Cannon went back to these places to check results. They were satisfactory in every case. This material is equally effective against roaches and water bugs in houses. We have used it for several years, dusting it in the basement and in closets and pantries in the house. We haven’t seen a roach, wa ter bug, or ant in the house since we started using it.

Once they were of little value and ruthlessly cut. Now rwe try to keep fires out, selectively cut them, and even set them out! Youth is adding greatly to this, for theirs, will be the harvest. FFA and 4-H teach and practice appreci ation for and conservation and pro motion of tree growth. The other day I was going from Clemson to Greenville. Saw a group of young sters clearing out a nice patch of pines by the road. I stopped and found their agriculture teacher, In using this material, it must be F. H.

It is- the finest remedy for household insects I’ve seen. t Telephones in Colleton Colleton folks have formed a co operative for getting telephones over the county. County Agent Alford tells me that 510 farmers signed up and paid their membership before the organization was formed. Telephones are becoming a needed gadget on the modern farm. They serve many pip-poses. One step for ward is just about impossible with out them, and that is artificial demonstration forest area. Appreci ation for trees was surely being there, as they toiled on a thinning job. Our Clemson extension forester, Bill Barker, tells me that 85 schools have made school plantings of trees in the past few years. All agencies cooperate in this, and the young people make the plantings. The plan is for them to take care of the trees along through the years. Thus they' learn by doing. Boys Are That Way Differences in speech are quite noticeable when you go to other sec- THE CONQUEST OF CANAAN Lesson for December 16: Joshua 1: 1-7; 6: 1-5, 20. Memory Selection: Joshna 1:5. After the death of Moses, the lead ership of Israel fell to Joshua. Je hovah spoke unto him to encourage him for his great task of conquering Canaan. And the Lord promised to give him every place upon which the soles of his feet should tread, and that no man would be able to stand against him all the days of his life. We see the fitness of things and the wisdom of God in the death of vironment and habit, and - things don’t change much. those Moses and the coming of Joshua to leadership. The work of Moses was done, and the younger man and war rior was needed to marshal the tribes and lead them, to the cortquest of the land. After the crossing of the Jordan (a miracle halting the waters and opening a pathway through the bed of the river), Joshua went up to in vest Jericho. Encircling the city once a day for six days and seven times the seventh day, the people lifted a great shout, as Joshua bade them do, and the walls of the city fell and the Israelites possessed it. Thereafter Joshua led his army over all the southern part of the country, as far as Hebron. Then he turned north and defeated the five banded kings at the waters of Me- rom. Thus was Hebrew rule estab lished throughout Canaan.
