they had the grain and other
products available. 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-

The publishers of this encyclopedia came to us with a good idea.
An idea so good, in fact, that we’re happy to pass it on to our
customers.
Just imagine ownihg a handsome family encyclopedia for
j only $1.89 a volume. Starting this week, we're offering the Funk
& Wagnalls Standard Reference Encyclopedia at that remark
ably low price. And tb prove to you what a fine value this ency
clopedia really is, we're offering Volume No. 1 at the trial price
of 25*. ,
Don’t let the low price fool you. This is a quality reference
work in every sense of the word. The publishers called upon over
200 leading authorities, experts in their respective fields, in
cluding Nobel Prize Winners, to help gather the information and
to write the easily understandable text. It contains nearly 10,000
pages in 25 beautifully bound volumes. 7,000,000 words.
30,000 subjects. Q\jer 5,000 pictures and illustrations. Plus a
full-color World Atlds. It all adds up to a fine encyclopedia that
can benefit every tnfmber of your fOmily.
School-age children don’t have to be coaxed to consult it
frequently. They find new interest and excitement in study
periods and their griabes can improve noticeably. It’s an ex
cellent way to help jyour child work up to his full potential in
school. Parents, too, find it useful and informative and often
wonder how they ever did without it.
We won’t quote ithe complete review by the Subscription
Books Committee omhe American Library Association*, but its
final paragraph sayg
“Because of its wide coverage of information in factual and
clearly-written, welP,illustrated succinct articles, and because of
the convenience of jfs lightweight yet durable format, Funk &
Wagnalls StandardtReference Encyclopedia is recommended
for the purpose for which it is intended, that is, as a brief refer
ence set, especially lor home and family use."
The Funk & Wagtails Standard Reference Encyclopedia can
be offered at such an exceptionally low price because it’s sold
through supermarkets. In fact, the publisher has already sold
more than 100 million encyclopedia volumes to smart families
through supermarkets across the country.
Stop in today pnd see what the excitement is all about. Vol
ume No. 1 is on sale right now. Pick up a volume or two each
week when you shop and in no time at all you’ll have the com
plete 25-volume sdt.

gest that you do your best in
controlling the weevil and the
worms. 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
