These facts are em-! phasized bv Clemson's extension, bee man, W. C. Johnson, who re minds us that bees also help in bet ter cross fertilizing many other things. The wild bumblebees and some other insects help with this, too. But they do not usually sufficient numbers to do the whole job. It takes good strong colonies' eration to the next. The job we did of fixing shoes was a rather crude one. But it kept our feet off the ground. It was then I was about 14 that I first started fixing mine.

But it! it down with another piece of flint, should not cause us to relax our j rock. But often it was away up efforts at killing what weevils we towards the toe of the shoe and I might have. For experience has : taught that the damage to cotton is not so much dependent upon the number of weevils that live ’'ever as it is upon weather conditions on out in the summer. A few weevils can eat a cotton crop up if wet weather comes in time for them to build up early in the season. So the only safe course is to do all we can to kill off such weevils as do pass through the winter. The light carryover is a distinct advantage though in that it will take them longer to build up. even ( under most favorable weevil con ditions. Your county agent has the latest pamphlet carrying the sug gestions of the experts for fighting the weevil this year. It is Circular 367. Chopping Cotton Thousands of farmers 1 have taken part in the cotton improvement contest since it was started back in 1926. Back then very few of them had rows as close as 40 inches. Now over three-fourths of them are that or less. And during the years these many farm records show that we are leaving it thicker and thicker in the drill too. High yields are to be found in the close row and thick in the drill group every time. Clemson suggests this about spacing in the row: “Leave three stalks per hill about 8 to 12 inches apart. Do not destroy a good stand by careless chopping.” Flowers Growing Wild I rode much in Florida in March and early April. Away down, ’Where i there is no winter, I saw many old' fields covered with brilliantly blooming phlox. Growing wild, yes. And lantanas grew like weeds on many ’a ditch bank or hedge row, holding their own with the rankest weeds. At places, too, I saw the moonflower stretch ing a veritable wilderness of vines across jungle growths. It was rid ing the top at the verdure, and at evening I saw its large white flow ers pop open.
