Four Leading Cotton Insecticides
Cotton planting 'is underway
throughout Laurens county, .and
it is not too early to begin think-
ing of your supply of insecticides. |
Four leading cotton insecticides
are Herptachlor, Aldrin. Toxaphane;
and BHC. Hcptachlor can qualify j
100 per cent for all the qualities
most desirable in an insecticide
of the four insecticides most gen-|
erally used in the control of cot
ton insects. Heptachlor has a quick
and effective kill: residual effec-
ti von ess of four to five days: it is
safe to use next to other crops-
such as pepper and root crops. It
is relatively non-toxic to fish when
used on cotton surrounding farm
ponds; and of the four insecticides,
Haptachlor has the less offensive
odor, thus making it agreeable
use by the operator. Also hep
tachlor combined with DI)T gives
excellent results in bollworm con
trol. Heptachlor Iras not been as
widely used in some sections of
the county as some other insecti
cides due to pot being available
and fannersj not having expe
rienced its use. The supply of all
insecticides appears to be ample
this year for cotton insect control
—be sure to have your supply
leady when needed,. Early appli
cation Off insecticides, to young
cotton plants to control thrip is
profitable money spent as in the
control of bollwee^ls.

Grassland fanning is a sound
and practical soil conservation
practice. It also fits in point five
of the ten point farm program,
sponsored by the state and coun
ty agricultural extension commit
tee. Point five: “Continue to im
prove and ex(pand acreages of
permanent pastures - and feed
crops, including a reserve supply
for emergency period, in line with
livestock numbers.
Also point one of the ten point
program: “Conserve and build up
the fertility of the soil in order to
be able to meet the increasing de
mand, in the years ahead, for
farm products for the rapidly in
creasing population."
The Clem son College Extension
farm program, of which the Coun
ty Agent in each county is respon
sible, covers the entire farm and
home problems. The Smith-Lever
act passed by Congress in 1914
states in part: “To provide for co-
t
operative agricultural extension
work between the agricultural
colleges in the several states—;
that in order to aid in diffusing
among the people of the United
States useful and practical infor
mation on subjects relating to ag
riculture and home economics,
and to encourage the application
of the Scpne - - -. That coopera
tive agricultural extension work
shall consist of the giving of in
struction and practical demonstra-
toins in agriculture and home eco
nomics to persons - - The
Smith-Lever act dealing with co
operative extension work is in op
eration in all 48 states.
Therefore the extension work
covers a complete farm and home
unit and not limited to only soil
conservation work or any single
phase of work. There is no other
agency with such responsibility as
set forth by act of Congress. Of
late there has been other agencies
created which duplicates or over-
