Mahon Gres-, sette of Calhoun chticized ihe House in varying terms of personal and political censure. The House member from Laurent was particularly incensed over re marks whtcli 'inferred that his ac tions had been motivated by con cern over his insurance business. Dobbins pointed out that he had voted against the compulsory in surance features which had beefi proposed, and had supported a plan which he felt was for the best inter ests of the motoring public as a whole. Voted Convictions ,Jtep* Dobbms said the House members had voted their cnovie- tions just as he had and that they had not yielded to pressure from anyone, then, returning the fire of the Senate in kind, he told of having heard a lawyer member of the Sen ate say passage of the Senate bill would ‘ mean $5,000 more a year to my lave practice.” Dobbins Was roundly applauded bv the llousi* as he concluded Dairymen Hold Annual Meeting The Palmetto Dairyman's Fed eration.

Thitnet Cotton Seed Treatment Cotton farmers who are not plac ing their cotton acreage in the soil bank reserve program are -begin ning to think of cotton planting. 'Oumet is a systematic insecti cide material that is used in treat ing cotton seed before planting that gives control of early season cotton insects without spraying or dust ing. Two demonstrations were con ducted by the county agent’s office in 11156, using Thimet on cotton seed One demonstration was on the farm of E. J. Sloan, Fountain Inn, Durbin community, and the o'her was with W. P. Dickson, Rt. 3, Clinton. Hopewell community. Both demonstrations were suc cessful in the control of thrip, aphid and mites. The treated areas could be noted many yards away due to, the green thrifty growing color of the plants over that of the untreated seed. The material did not control cotton flea hoppers, though. Thimet, when applied to the seed, is taken up by the roots of the young seedling. It then remains in the plant system for as long as six weeks. When thrips, aphid and mites suck the sap of the plants they are killed by the poison juice. Special machinery and a special seed treating process is required in order to get the right amount of thimet on each cotton seed. Thimet treated cotton seed must be handled with precaution to prevent injury to the skin of the person. The manu facturers point out that Dixie King variety of cotton seed should not be treated with Thimet. The only adverse effects on ger mination appear to occur when seed are planted under unfavorable germination conditions, or when seed of low viability are treated. Prevent Fire With the comyig of spring farm ers are. beginnnig to clean hedge rows and terraces of grass and sprouts and are tempted to set fire to burn off such areas. Unless pre caution is taken the fire may get out of control and do much damage to property other than Umber - Tom Hill, county forest ranger, and his co-workers join the county agent's office in urging farmers to be careful with fire this spring. If there is any burning to be done, it would be well to notify one of the watchmen at the fire towers. One is located near Mountville and one near Barksdale. The county ran ger's office is located in the brick building in the rear of the County Agricultural building. His telephone number is 535. Dr. Felder Smith OPTOMETRIST Phone 794 Laurens, S. C.
