Thene inquiries commenced bcfo|e the ad jcu ninent of the legislature, an<l, if 1 mistake not, even before the appro priation had been made ,Of course the money has* not yet come as I al ways "ive notice through the paper just us noon as the checa is received. It came last year on the 23rd of April. 1 am informed by Mr. II. F. Jackson, Chief Clerk of the Pension Depart ment, that no distribution can bo made by him until BVBRY county in ihe State sends in its list of pen I'.in i.;. The legislature, in its wis dom, at its last sessio^ passed an Act requiring the Probate Judges of the State to <lo this work without pay, i.pd this fact probably accounts for tane of the counties not sending in ' heir lists as usual' as there is con siderable work and some expense con nected with making the lists up. The Kershaw county list has been in Co lumbia for nearly a month, but as stated above no distribution can be made by Mr. Jackson until ALL the counties send in their lists. In regard to the Kershaw county list the fol lowing letter was received some time ago: ^Columbia, i>. C., March .'U>, 192:!. Mr, W. L. MeDoweit? Judge of Probate, Camden, S. C. I>ear Sir: Herewith find pension rpll which I copied from list given me by you. I have checked Same and found same in most excellent shape, for which I wish to thank you. -I trust that you will check same over and advise if there are any correc tions to be made, as we will not be able to make any changes later on. I am also sending a copy to Mr. N. A. ttcthunc, Chairman. With .kind regards, I am, ' Yours very truly, H. F. JACKSON, Chief Clerk Pension Department. I hope that the money will soon be hern, but it Cannot be stated at this time with any degree of certainty whin it will come as it depends, as seated above, entirely upon when the other Probate Judges send in their lists, but, as I have always done, as .soon as the money comes I will an nounce the fact by a notice in the papers. . w. l. Mcdowell, Judge of' Probate Kershaw County. Camden, S. C., -April 23, 1023. I There is No Mystery about the Telephone Business ^gyHERE are probably some things about the telephone business which mystify you, just as there are things about other busi esses which you do not thoroughly understand. Perhaps it is a charge on your bill or some practice about the service which confuses you. even if it does not annoy you. When these occasions arise, why not ask the local manager about them. He will be glad to explain our entire rate schedule O! to tell you the necessity for any of our practices. All telephone practices are designed to make it easy for you to do business with us and to improve your service. They are the ' result of. long years of experience and reflect our 'best business judgment. They are flexible and are constantly revised in the interest of cordial relations with flur patrons. There is no mystery about the telephone business and one of our greatest difficulties is to induce our subscribers to tel! us about the things that worry them. Y\Y w ant yuu to be familiar with the 1 eason for every charge we mala' and to bo satisfied, as we are, that it is a proper and necessary charge.

T?> the Kditor of Th6 Slate: I am gt?d to comply with your request for h concise statement of my recom mendation* for boll weevil control. The farmer should? When cotton is from six to ten Inches tail find before any forms ap pear on plant, carefully examine the crop and sea if any boll weevils arc present. At this stage they will be found feeding upon the terminal bud* of the young plants, ? If any weevils arc found, mix thor oughly one pound calcium arsenate with one gallon of water, then add one gallon of any kind of molasses find apply two <>?? three drops to the terminal bud of each plant. A s?mall cloth mcip or long necked quart bottia with small hole in stopper will do this work satisfactorily. We prefer the latter because the mixture can be bet ter regulated, more accurately placed, and is kept constantly stirred by the plunging motion necessary in applica tion. The bottle is filled about three quarters luil with the liquid to begin with. About one gallon of the mix ture will l>e required per acre and as calcium ju.-rnute and molasses can each be bought at leas than 20 cents, the cost of the mixture 'will not ex ceed 20 cents per gallon. The cotton should be carefully ex amined three days after application to note the effect of the poisoning and it will be found that at least 99 per cent of the weevils have been killed. If the farmer has been induced to buy any of the many patented or se cret mixtures which are being sold at many times the price at which the plain calcium arsenate-molasses mix ture can be made, he should test the plain mixture alongside the other by applying it to a few rows and thus discover for himself the relative ef ficiency of the two. The fanner should make two or three more applications of ther mo lasaes-calcium-araonate mixture at weekly intervals until about July 1,1 at which time all the old weevils will j have emerged from hibernation. If the poisoning has been properly! done to July 1, practically no damage from weevils will have occurred in the crop. A few spots may be found where a weevil which has escaped the early poisoning may be punctur ing the squares. These spots should ; be detected by careful and constant! inspection of the fields, anil should j receive imme r .te and thorough atten- 1 tion by gathering all punctured ! squares and thoroughly poisoning the j infested spots. No other treatment should be nec essary until migration begins from ; unpoisoned fields during late July or j early August, and the writer will la- ! ter make suggestions for treatment , during that period.
