The extermination - of the White Fly has been determined hy tlmt zealous body of women, the Civic League, chief among them Mrs. E. C. vonTresckow. whose untiring energy surmounts each difficulty that presents itself. Can it }*e that the city Fathers will have the League to hear all ex|>ense of this war of extermination, as well as the heat and burden of the toil? Through the intelligent assistance of Mr. A. M. Trotter the League lias for mulated some ways in which each of us can help. Rake and burn all grass and leaves under your hedges. Trim i hedges closely, burning the clippings, mark trees .or shrubs on ^your proper ty subject to this pest ? namely all ci trus trees, China berry,, cape jessamine, privet, holly, eponymous or mock or ange hedges. Our aim is to preserve our plants, but bum anything worth less. The householder will be charged according to thne spent In spraying, which we wish to make as reasonable pj>sslble. 'Through Mr. Trot tor's ef fort" The agricultural department at Cleroson has lent one spray pump. Tfrrough Mrs. vonTresckow, Mr. R M. English, of Columbia, has lent anoth er. The I/eague has strained its slen der bank account for a third, with a small tiuantity of Insecticide ' to begin the fight. The expense of getting these humps here and installed is upon the League. The operating of them ex peditiously is before us. We need mo ney and co-operation and need it quick ly. Mr. Robinson, of Holly Hedge, has assured us of his hearty co-opera tion, Mr. Sherman has volunteered.^ superintend the spraying. Let us get together and make short work of this peril. Member.

When Necessary to Pur* ohase, Co-operate With Neighbors ? Some Suggestions on Feeding Un der Present Conditions of Feed . stuffs Market. The prevailing prices of some foods, especially cotton seed meal and IiuIIb, are Just cause for considerable In quiry as to what are the most econom ical feeds available for our livestock. Many of our farmers have profited by advice urged upon them last year to grow more grain, produce more forage in the form of cover crops, etc., aud build silos where their conditions Justify. Wherever possible, a farmer should make use of all home-grown grains and forage, thereby reducing his feted bill to a minimum. Oats, corn, rice meal, wheat bran. etc.. In addition to cottonseed meal, are all good feeda to consider in making up the rations for livestock. However, the economy of feeding naturally depends on the cost of the production and market condi tions. In many instances farmer* have some grain or roughage that has been slightly damaged by rain or oth er causes. To market such products would be to sell at a low price and often at a loss. Much of this feed can be used profitably by the producer, who raises livestock, provided it Is not damaged by mold or rot. In fact, some of these feeds are practically aa good for feeding as the brighter and higher priced feeds. Where it is necessary to purchase feedstuffs. a considerable saving can be realised If neighbors will co-oper ate in buying large quantities. Ten tons of feedstuffs constitute the mini mum carload in this state and buying In carload lots will reduce the freight rate as well as the first cost of the feed. If bought in such quantities, wheat bran and rice meal can be pur chased for around $30 per ton. or even considerably less, at which prices these feeds can be used as a ? part of the ration with some profit. Cottonseed meal is very high In price at present, but we must not lose sight of the fact that it has a very high feed value, Especially for beef and dairy cattle and horses and mules. Unless this feed runs considerably over $35 per ton, it will still prove economical to use cottonseed meal as a part of the ration. The ration may bo improved by the use of cornrand-cob meal, ground oats or wheat bran, as such feeds lighten a ration and also add/ variety, which tends to keep up appetite, an essential to successful feeding; R. L. SHIELDS, Professor of Animal Husbandry, Ciemson Agricultural College. The profit in fruit trecp is In the pruning-shears and the spray nozzle.

LAW STRICTLY ENFOREED , Control and Eradication of Disease Made Possible by Statute Protect ing State Against Importations of Uninspected Animals ? Only One Case of Qlanders In South Carolina in Eighteen Months. Glanders, one of the most destruct ive dlsOHHOB of hOTHOH and IHtlU'H Hiul utie that iuay be contracted by man, Iium been almost eradicated from South Carolina. Dr. Robert O. Feeley. State Veterinarian at Clemson Colloge. ban announced thut In the last eigh teen months only one case of glandors has been found in the state. For three years, fn fact, cases of glanders have been scarce and it is believed that with a continuation of precau tionary methods this state need not fear outbreaks at this malevolent di sease. Dr. Feeley attributes the con trol of glanders In South Carolina to the enforcement of the law prohibiting the Importation of animals without certain certificates. Several years ago, when the law that 1b now Section 522 of the Crimi nal Code was passed, glanders wa a, quite prevalent in certain sections of the state. Section 622 made it unlaw ful "to bring into the Aate any horses, mules, asses, cattle, sheep or swine c.for work, feeding, breeding or dairy purposes, unless sucTl animals have been examined and found free from" glanders, tuberculosis, scabies, and a number of other diseases. This free dom from disease must be established by a certificate of health from an offi cial veterinarian in the place of ship ment- There are other provisions In the law, all of them making It possi ble for the veterinary division of Clemson College to control outbreaks of contagious diseases in this state. This law was put into force by the veterinarians of the college as soon as it was passed and it was especially effective In checking glanders. Where ever a case of this disease was found the animal was destroyed and the premises disinfected carefully. Little by little the disease has retreated be fore the vigilant fight that has been made. The law has, of course, meant much in the control of other con tagious diseases also, but it is in glan ders that the effects have been most noticeable. "Practically all states now have such a law about importing animals," said the State Veterinarian. "If there were no such law in South Carolina, our state would bo a dumping ground for diseased stock from all parts of the country. This law is*a great pro tection to our farmers." When 'there is hog cholera In your nerd or in the herd on the next farm, do not wait. Order serum for the well hogs from tfre Veterinary Division of Clemson College and got in touch with tho county agent. A NEW THREE-YEAR OLD CROP ROTATION \ ( A good winter task for farmers is the planning of a crop rotation. Be loy is a new three-year rotation that is recommended to South Carolina farmers by Clemson College. The old three-year rotation Is simpler and has proved satisfactory, but the new one given here is better in certain re spects and is & reason why farmers of this state should adopt it at once- This reason is that it will adapt Itself to boll weevil conditions and farmers should become used to it before the boll weevil arrives In South Carolina at a date that cannot now be very distant.
