weeds are giving pond owners a
great deal of trouble. Several dem
onstrations have been set up to help
with this problem. Granular 2,4-D
is proving effective. Vic Spigner
treated 1 acre with 100 pounds of 20
per cent 2.4-D and is receiving ex
cellent results. This was quite ex
pensive as the cost was $35 per
acre.
Cherokee, T. B. Lee —Various
methods of controlling the alfalfa
weevil have been used by growers in
this county. Sprays, dusts, and in
secticide applications in fertilizer
have been effective in varying de
grees. W. C. Nettles, leader, Clem-
son Entomology and Plant Disease
Work, visited in the county, and
we observed some of the results. We
made other observations in an at
tempt t 0 pinpoint the most effective
method and time to apply materials
to control this pest.
Greenville, J. K. Jones — Pluras
Hendrix, Berea, carried out a very
successful smut control demonstra
tion with barley. He planted barley
treated by the new anaerobic meth
od of seed treatment beside barley
treated by the old method. A few
heads of smut were noted in bar
ley treated by the new method as
compared to around 15 to 20 per
cent of smut-infected heads in the
1 barley treated by the old method. It
| is hoped other farmers will use the
new method.
Horry, V. M. Johnston—Our pole
bean production program got off to
a good start. Most growers have
fairly good stands, and the season
has been good up to now. Many
of the beans are now ready to stake
The pole bean acreage in the county
has increased from about 50 acres
| last year to more than 200 acres this
year, according to the manager of
the Farmers Market at Loris.
Lee, V. F Linder—The peak of
soil testing was reached in April
when 3.368 samples were delivered
to the Soil Testing Laboratory at

program initially will possibly cover
the taking of samples from about
one-third of the fields of the county.
The results of the testing to date
reveal that many farmers can ben
efit from following a more liberal
fertilizer program in recommended
mixtures and amounts.
Lexington, M. A. Bouknight—Ap
proximately 18,000 grape vines were
delivered to growers in Lexington
county during the month. Visits
have been made to these growers
and the vines seem to be putting out
and doing well although they were
set out rather late. Information has
been furnished growers as to meth
ods of setting, pruning, and spray
ing Interest in grape production
continues very high in the county,
and a ready market though a grape
juice plant has been promised.
McCormick, G. W Bonnette—A
tree planter was used to plant Coast
al Bermuda sprigs on about 20
acres. The sprigs have started to
grow and have been top-dressed

It is always more rewarding and
satisfying to be at the front of any
thing worthwhile than at the rear.
Riding a railroad train is no excep
tion. Several nights ago I again had
the satisfying experience of riding
at the front of the Southern Rail
way’s craek-train, the Crescent Lim
ited. When I say at the front I mean
in the cab of the diesel locomotive.
The years roll off my shoulders
when I get on a railroad train I
become a small boy again. There’s
a comfortable upholstered chair
on the right for the engineer, one on
the left for the fireman, and usual
ly one in the middle for the use of
trainment, railway officials, and the
occasional visitor.
I could write of many things
I have seen from a locomotive cab,
and also what I’ve leaned from con
versation with trainmen But I'm
confining myself now to one thing,
comfort of travel The cab is the
moat comfortable place on the train
in which to ride Not only does the
locomotive nde much easier, it is
far heavier than the can behind but
a bo because it ia at the head of the
tram
Riding the cab of the locomotive
with the engineer reminds me of

Leaf Diseases Of
Azalea and
Camellia Sasanqua
Clemson, May 16—The leaf gall
diseases of azalea and camellia sa
sanqua are prevalent over much of
the state again this year. These di
seases usually develop with the first
flush of spring growth and cause un
sightly deformed leaves.
Clemson extension entomology
and plant disease specialists point
out that individual leaves on azal
eas become thickened and gall-like
Later the gall turns white with fun
gus tissue. Ultimately the galled
leaves turn dark brown to greyish
in color.
The specialists explain that on ca
mellia sasanqua, the top leaves of
new growth become thickened and
appear fleshy in texture. Several
such leaves may develop on the tip
of one twig Later the lower layer
of the affected leaves becomes loos
ened and splits away to expose white
masses of fungus tissue and spores
The fungus which causes leaf gall of
azalea will not attack camellia and
vice versa.
“These deformed leaves should be;
picked from the plant when they
are seen,” the specialists advise
"This will remove the source of in
fection for another year, which us
ually takes place at the time the
white layers of fungus spores be
come exposed
“Fungicidal sprays such as 6-2-100
bordeaux. Ferbam, 2 tablespoons
per 1 gallon of water, or Copper A,
3 tablespoons per 1 gallon of water
will control the disease on azaleas.
They should be applied before leaf
buds open in the spring with a sec
ond spray two weeks later
‘‘No fungicides are recommended
to prevent the disease on camellia.
Hand picking of the leaf galls before
lower layer splits away is recom
mended for camellia,' - they add
