What we would like to do is to eliminate the rats in Laurens County. By so doing, it would take every family’s cooperation - this should be done with city dwel lers as well as the rural people. We are planning to mix bait and have it available in many of the rural stores, the feed stores, and seed stores, and to have it available here at the Agricul ture Building for homeowners and other to use in eliminating this tremendous pest This can be done at _ a very reasonable cost We hope that we can mix this material and sacx it up, and sell it at five pounds for one dollar. Five pounds wiU go a long way toward eliminating the rats in each home in Laur ens County. So keep this in mind. We plan to have, the bait ready by mid September. More information wiU follow. I have had a number of calls this week on the Army Worms. Of course, the weather Ips made it impossible to do anything about it So we have hhd to sit and wait for fair weather. Sevln is the recommended chemical, at the rate of one and one-half lbs. of technical material per acre. This can be either dust or spray. I would suggest that you check your highly fertilized Bermuda, Sudan, and other fast growing forages. The Army Worm is expected to attack lawns as well as pastures. We do not anticipate at this point any damage to soybeans or cot ton . However, there is one called the Beet Army Worm that is in some counties in the lower part of the State that is eating soybeans and cotton. We hope that one doesn’t come this way. By now rain has reached all areas of the County and as far as pastures, cotton, and soy beans are concerned it looks as if we have never had a drought as these crops seem to lie dor mant and wait for the rain. How ever, if this severe drought had started and extended into Aug ust, cotton and soybeans would not have recovered. Right now it seems that our bean and cotton crop wiU be above average. Cot ton farmers are now at a critical stage as far as insects are concerned, so let me sug- mokes it easy for you to own a famous encyclopedia Now you can have this handsome 25-volume FUNK&WA3NALS STANDARD REFERENCE ENCYCLOPEDIA for only *1.89 per volume Volume No. 1 now for a limited time WeVe so confident that you'll want the complete set after looking through just one volume, we're offering Volume No. 1 at the trial price of 25* OhL-v - ? - v ^ ' 'w Ifs everything you’d expect a good encyclopedia to be.

Much of the cotton is now mature and the bugs are in the few squares that are left and will attack the bolls after the squares have fallen off. I am suggesting that we put on a good stout application of insecticide and observe between each ap plication. We certainly don’t want to use more than is nec essary, but after checking in some of the fields, I feel that the buildup is now at a point where we must do something to control it 4-C—THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S.
