Farming With the County Agent BOLL, WEEVILS Every indication points to a heavy infestation of boll weevils in Kershaw County this epring> The extremely mild winter has not killed weevils u formerly. . 1 Itis urgent that those farmers who plan to plant cotton this year make ) early arrangements for poisoning* The 1 ? l?l mixtre k* recommended. This consists of mixing togehter 1 ? rallon of blackstrap molasses and 1 gallon of water and stiring into this 1 pound of oadcium arsenic. Do not mix this in large quantities and use , after being mixed for several days as much old mixtures will burn the foli age of the young cotton. A suffi cient amount should be mixed in the "? morning to last for that day. One big mistake has been made in the past by farmers waiting too long to poispn. If a farmer waits until he finds weevils working in his field he is too late then to start poisoning. Thfe firut application of this sweetened poison should be applied when the first squares appear on cotton; or in case the farmer finds that weevils are working in the buds of the cotton be fore the squares form he should poison at that time, however, he should not wait later than when the first squares begin to form. It should be remembered that a few e?arly weevils may lay sufficient efigs to do great damage and destroy the middle part and especially the last part of the crop. It is extremely necessary to push the crop as rapidly practical because this year it will probably be a race between the far mer and the boll weevil to see who will get the largest p?art of the crop. That will especially be true * if we have a wet year. Where fertilizer is put under the cotton seed before planting it should bfe atrred well into the soil before the se$d are planted. u This will insure a better stand of cotton as the tender tape ropt of the young cotton plant may be' 'killed or. severely set back by coming into contact with the con ? densed concentrated fertilizer put in to the roil unless this fertilizer^ 'has ' been stirred and mixed with soil. '* The first sidf dressing of cotton should be applied, at chopping time. - | It will probably be a good idea for farmers planting cotton $o secure a sufficient amount of calcium arsenic and molasses early in order that they will have it on hand and there will b*T~no delay in applying to poison at the proper time. For further information on boll weevil control kindly get in touch with your county agent. Respectfully, HENRY D.. GREEN, County Ap*ent. MIDWAY HONOR ROLL FOR SIXTH MONTH First Grade.

Yearly burning? in this county cov er about 60,000 acres,, representing a loss of many thousands of dollars to the farmers and tmberland owners. The woods burner, like the boll weevil, the malaria germ, and the cattle tick, drags down business and undermines the general welfare. Be cause of him only small percent age of merchantable second-growth timber which could have replaced the virgin stand is now available on cut over lands. Because of the woods burner land values have suffered, in dustries and papulation have moved out, and idle acres have multiplied. Because of him every year millions of young forest seedlings, which in a short time would have constituted a valuable asset to land-owneors, have been licked up by the flames. The southern states, unlike * the states of west where serious firfe 'os:es are oauaed by lightning, haa the power to eliminate its forest fires; for they are man-caused and can be prevented by curbing the care less fire user and dealing firmly with the malicious fire setter. Sound eco no.nic policy demands that this pow er be exerted and that the brand of the woods burner be extinguished. Kershaw County cannot afford to let the woods burner block economic pro press. W<e are now in the midst of the spring fire season and serious losses will be suffered unless great care in the handling of fire is exercised. The KERSHAW COUNTY FORESTRY ASSOCIATION is attempting to stamp out the evil of woods burning n this county and the thoughtful co operation of every farmer and tim birland owner in the county is urg* ently requested. We have at the pre sent tirrie some 30.000 acres of for est lartd under organized protection, and an additional 35,000 acres in the] northern part of the county will be' placed under protection at an early date. I believe that the Kersha/W j county Forestry Association has the be ;t fire record of any protective or ganization in the state and we are rin^iou" t:> maintain that enviable position. We CAN do it if we get tth? proper "o-ooeration. It would be a great help if farm ers and tenants would notify the County For (trier at Camden when and where they ?onte<miplate burning brush and litter in connection with their farming operations. This mijrhb- be done by postal wfrd, letter, or by telephone. The cooperation of the flood peorple of the county in this, very important work will be greatly appreciated. eoMERHMEHT EXPENSES y/outt> 6C TO P/Y congressmen omlv what. iHtv could barm oh PAMMN and the whole vAlYll/Efli Surrounding Country!
