Diseases and Insect pests might over run them and tlu>n the crop is a loss instead of profit. We sent out warnings in the fall and tho winter urging every one to destroy tho winter hotels of Insects, Ilavo you none this careful ly? Ix)ok again and see i* there are still any dirty terraces or ditch banks on tho farm. Are there still any waste fields or neglected Old orchards ! near, the fields . planted in cotton and corn. If there are, the bugs will take their hats oft to you and say, "Thank you. wo enjoyed your hospitality very I much." 1 r?fd you destroy all the pokeweod? I/ook again , and bo sure. What have you done about tho violets around the tenant houses on tho farm? Are you substituting other ornamental plants or do you Inteud to sprav them? , You are busy now makintr your crops and I would not want to assure any one that those violets wi'l br> sprayed. When cotton becomes large, enough for the plants to touch each other and dry weather sets In if is too bite and you will have a cotton red spider fight on your hands.

Ask for bulletin 161 of tho S C. Experiment Station; it is short and can bo read In a few minutes. Those stony, stumoy, woody fields and terraces on tho farm are tho win tor hotels that protected tho chinch bnfs. From those places thov come to the grass and grain and when these are harvested the pests march to the oorn fields, Suoh waste places do not merely look bad on the farm but we should remember that they arc lodg ing houses that sholter the destructive caso3 on the number of inserts that amount of damage depends In most costs on tho number of Insects that passed through tho winter succese fully. Lot us look at it from this viewoolnt. It makes one angry and de termined that he will hot tolerate ? 'u h places on tho farm if ho ran help It. What plans have you made about tho manure this year? Are you going to let ft accumulate In heaps for the housefly to breed by the millions? Have you thought alxnit screening the nHvv closet and to pur a barrel of air slaked limo to bo used there? It sould be done right now. If you fall to do this the pests will bo your unin vited guests at e-very meal of the day. They will force themselvos .:>n you and you ran not stop it. They are genial truest* eomlng to you direct from the manure hoaps and privy elosets with tho putrid materials hanging *0 their hnirv roat, and they trail it over your butter, meat and bread; they take a bath in your milk and they fall into thr> roffoe. Of courso you put ouA the milk and coffee and get some more, but what do you think of It as remedy? How many had bathed in the milk be fore it rame to the table and wben you were not looking? "Swatting" Is all rieht as far as ft goes. Every time you hit ono square so as to mash It there of course there Is one fly leas ! if you look upon It as an arithmetic problem, but do you suppose the whole H. S army could swat all the flies that breed about one good sized 111 kort dairy? I Flies ran not chow solid food but they dissolve It with their saliva and then take It. Now Imagine several files sitting on the Jelly on your plate, or on the sugar, spitting on it and lick ing It. With your hand you shoo the flies away, run your knife or spoon un der the Jelly, sugar or whatever It may bo and pass to the mouth. 1 Look after the manure and the privy closets. whJcti are tho most im portant breeding grounds, and reduce the number of fllee at the source.

BUD WORM OF CORN IS A SERIOUS PEST Larva of 12 Spotted Cucumber Beetle Kills Much Bottom Lanb Corn. Clomson College. ? The bud worm of i corn, a serious pest to ? bottomland corn, In South Carolina 1b tho larva or grub of our common twelve spotted cucumber beotlo. This beetle or pa rent may bo found at the present time feeding upon small grain in the fields fruit blooms about the orchard, or on almost any other green vegetation found about tho fnrm. Tho* larva or grub confines its ac tivity to corn and various grasses found growing In low moist lands, fommhnly known as bottom lands The eggs arc laid by tho parent beetle from about the first of March to the middle of April. Corn planted on low lands during the ei;g laying period is very often seriously damagod and sometimes completely destroyed by this insert. After the corn has reach ed a height jit about ten inches no ; serious Injury occurs. Remedial Measures. Avoid planting bottom lands infested with hud worms until about two-thirds of tho grubs have reachod the quiescent period. The planting dates for various soctions of the state has 'icon carefully marked out and are fol lowed by mnny of our farmers. They aro as follows: For lpwer South Carolina plant after May 5th. For middle South Carolina, plant one week later. For upper South Carolina or the Piedmont re-rrlon. plant two weeks la ter or about May the 19th. By carefully observing the planting dates n stand of corn may be secured while the grubs of the first genera tion are slee-plug in the soil, then be fore the second generation comes, the corn Is too large to bo seriously Injured.

As the time ap proaches for bedding sweet potatoes the way 1n which some of the more troublesome of the sweet potato dis eases get Into tho field and spread should be kept in mind Black rot of sweet potato which Is probably the most common of the sweet potato diseases live? over win ter on the potatoes in the fonri of small black or dark colored blotches \ or oi^ surfaco^* Where-jH'ta j tOfys *lTA(^Bro^thls4rdiib!eAR?e Used for seed" the' disease gets Into the sprouts tha/t come from these and is carried directly into the field. Here the disease attacks the roots and tho nota.toes and after causing consider able damaro is browght back again into tlio Iranks or storage houses the nert fall Potatoes used for seed should bo free from this disease. There aro several other diseases of sweet potatoes that can hi defected on the seed and that spread in exactly tho same way that the black rot does. In picking out potatoes for P^ed these should bo looked for and wherever found tho seed affected with them should be discarded or If clean seed cannot bo secured lhoy should he treated with formalin solution as indi cated above. These diseases ''*-*> on the tubers and roots but do not at tack the Tines so where potatoes are grown later In the season from cut tings from vines the disease would net be present. This Is the reason why potatoes grown from vines keep betf-er than those grown from slip*. It ta well to grow seed potatoes for next year In this way from mttlnrs mad* from the r1n?s. I MOVIK MAKKK8 PUT ONK OVKH On l urlr Sam in Matter of WllUrd Johnson Fight. Washington. April 11.?- Truat the motion picture |kmjj?u? to do a thing they want to do if it < an ho done. A situation that Ih attracting som? attention at the hands of the federal authorities in Washington an well as In N'otv York In reported from t Umpire State. Ft will he recalled that when Jack Johnson and. ..Ion* W'lUard had tt scrap down In Havana the motion picture Hints of the battle were forbidden to ho lin|K>r(ed Into the United States. It was not Illegal for them to he shown In New York, the state where there was. perhaps more Interest in their production than in any other, hut net ting the pictures, or the Wins Into the United States was the thing that was forbidden. Hut the Inventive genius of sonic body so 'uis to have found a way. A few <lt, rco a representative of one ? f the big film concerns took a preci ous bit of ha##fige, consisting of the tight llhns, and made his way from some point on one of the islands of the sea, beyond the borders of the I'nlted States to Canada. Then, he made his way, partly by train, partly by automobile, and partly by foot, with his precious parcel, to the border line between Canada and Mew York state. The portion of hhi journey .that was accomplished on foot, was made nec essary by the fa? I that the road he was following crossed the border be fore reaching the point of his destina tion, and as ho could not carry the dims with him on that road without violating the prohibition as to their importation into the United States he made nearly a mile of the trip on foot, with the package of films on his shoulder. At his point of destination, he was met by other representatives of -his concern, who had gone ahead of him md hod erected a large tent astride the border line. A considerable por tion of the space covered by the tent was Canadian soil and the rest of it was American territory. On the Canadian side a screen was out up and the f\ght films were "put ?m." The Johnson AVill/ird fight was shown to an audience of about four, most of whom wore in the United States most of the time, though in shifting from one foot to another, a spectator might easily transfer the jurisdiction of his body from Wash ington to London ? from President WJ1-* son'.q dominion to the sovereignty of King Georpo. A few inches within the American border a moving pcture machine had been erected, and when the "show" was going on over in Canada ? a dis tance of some 30 inches from the border ? the operator of the motion picture machine got entirely new films, made from the scenes that were being shown on the screen. In "this way he secured splendid duplicates of the films whose Importation had been for bidden. and yet the law forbidding Importation had not been violated, ac cording U? the view of tin- ft|,B imuy eoneerned.

Whether the films arc legally |a I'nlted States in a question tha^ ?/Jos hoiuo of the lawyers who \ paid more or less attention to th? eldcut, H 1* true that the pariu Minis that were taken at Havana fa not been Imported into the ^ States; hut In a sen ?e a reprasouty of the tight has l>eon "Imported," | it came l>y a method that Is not Uj hie or material. It is the v|<s? some that hy analogy with w|^ telegraph nitrations, wbhh arc m the eohtrol of the government, i there Is no material tmnsportatl^ transmission concerned, the K0I( inent would have tho right to if the same principle to tho seeurl^ tiltus in the manner1 f?ugKO?t?j bjj feat of the owners of tho Jo^ Willard films.
