. During the fiscal year ending
June 30, 233 landowners in the
Newberry District including Lau
rens county) received free advice
on how to best manage their wood
lands, according to E. L Middle-
west, District Forester stationed in
Newberry. A total of 34,723 acres
of timberland was examined for
these landowners. The foresters
gave free recommendations to each
landowner on what steps should be
taken to keep his woodland in high
production of forest products that
it is capable of producing.
Recommendations made to the
various woodland farmers were: a
selective harvest of saw timber or
pulp wood, or both;* a refrostation
program that would re-establish
timber on abandoned land or thick
en up the understocked stands;
timber stand improvement work
by use of poisons to get rid of un
desirable or worthless trees to
make room for more valuable trees
and necessary fire control steps to
take to protect their trees from fire.
The selective marking recom
mendation was carried out on 78
tracts consisting of 6,103 acres. For
these 78 landowners the foresters
selectively marked 4,095,360 board
feet^of saw timber and 1,279 cords
of pulpwood for harvest. For this
service, a charge of 50c per thous
and board feet marked for saw
timber and 13 c per cord marked
for pulpwood was made. For this
small charge the landowner was
assured his timber was being cut
properly and that his future return
would be greater than if he had
sold by the boundary or by stump
size, as so many landowners have
done in the past.
A tabulation of the service ren
dered in each of the nine counties
of the district is given in the re-

Lost Rites For
Mrs. Brodley Pinson
Held In Cross Hill
Mrs. Lillian Irene Pinson. 39,
wife of Bradley Pinson of Cross
Hill, died Sunday mroning at the
Laurens county hospital following
a long illness.
Spot checking for boll weevil
damage over the county for the
week of July 6 showed infestation
of shapes to be an average of 3 1
per cent where poison had been ap
plied as compared with 50 per cent
where no poison had been applieck -
it was stated yesterday by County
Agent C. B. Cannon.
Where weevil infestation in a
field is not over 8 per cent, Mr
Cannon said, it is recommended
that no dust be applied until in
crease in weevil damage, provided
the cotton boolworm is not pres
ent. Cotton is at a stage of growth
now he added, when we might ex
pect an outbreak of the worm in
sect overnight.
The bollworm is a small green
worm eating round holes in shape*
and sometimes eats tender leaves
in the buds. To control the worm
it is necessary to apply 15 pounds
per acre, per application, of any
per cent DDT or 15 pounds of 10
per cent DDT dust alone, or add 1.0
to 1.5 pounds of Technical DDT per
acre application to liquid insecti
cide being used. Applications
should be made at 5-day intervals
for worm control. Mr. Cannon said
DDT will not kill boll weevils and
if no bollworm is present there is
no need of applying DDT. Farm
ers are urged not to overlook this
insect called bollworm at this stage
of cotton growth since they can do
considerable damage in a few days.
Be cautious, Mr. Cannon says, and
check cotton *fields every two or
three days for all kind of insect
dartrager
R. T. Wilson, chairman, has stated
this is a county-wide meeting and
