The other banks are willing also to do everything m their power to help i the farmers in their fight with the boll weevil. Now is the time to be- | gin poisoning if any results are expected, advises the county agent. The method of poisoning as explained in Extension circular No. 96, pnd used so effectively in Sumter (bounty last year, is summarized as follows: Make a sweetened poison by thoroughly mixing one pound i calcium arsenate in one gallon of J water then adding one gallon of j molasses. ' This is enough for two acres. Ajw>ly with a mop so that the mixture reaches the under side of the leaves. This mixture should be ap^1 plied three to five times beginning when the first squares appear. Whenj the first bloom appears start with a standard dust treatment. The difference in age between the I old and young cotton compares favorably with the time required for j a boll weevil to reach maturity. Unless the old cotton is thoroughly poisoned at once, it will act as a breeding plot for the boll weevil and consequently the young cotton will jbe doubly infested. Last year Sumter county used an improved method of weevil control. For their effort they increased in pro- j duction over the preceeding year j about 15 percent; while the surround- j ing counties decreased as low as 40 percent. They received ten times the expenditure by this method. It j* not ? queatjpn pf perhaps, but one which challenges every farmer to exert himself to make a living. We are not interested in those farmers who are making as much or more cotton than they did before the boll weevil hit them, nor' the ones who poison systematically and receive reeulte. This article is , especially for the fanner who is merely making a living. The system of poisoning we recommend has been proven to be successful, ami anyone condemning it is admitting their failure as a practical fahmer. ?~rz Forget the many stories you have heard concerning the failures of poisoning-and look at the person who is making the statement. Is he successful? Would you swap places with him? Compare him with a successful farmer ahd see the difference. We have no time to lose. $ Whatever we do must be done quickly and thoroughly. Talk this over with your friends^ associates, and patrons and insist on them poisoning also. Mexican Bean Beetle Doing Damage Several samples of injured bean plants have been brought to the ofj fice of the County Agent. The dam) age is being done by the larvae of j the Mexican bean beetle. It is a yel! low worm-like animal tapering at j both ends having black tipped pinety 'over the backs. This larvae work's i from the under side of the leaves 'eating all except a thin lace-Jike ! covering of the leaf. This insect is/ very hard to control and the poison must be applied to the under side of the leaf to be effective. For dusting mix one part calcium arsenate and 9 parts of hydrated lime. -For spray use one ounce calcium arsenate and. 2 ounces hydrated lime in 3 gallons of water. For further information either write or visit the County Agent.

Riols and Leroy Nelson, all of Charleston, were the heroes of a rescue at Folly beach near the Elks' chib yesterday afternoon at about 6 o'clock. When Frederick Moseley, of Camden, was swept beyond bis depth by a treacherous current, it was Miss Edwinls who plunged into the sea to flipport both him and her brother, Edward Edwards, who had reached the drowning man first until help atriv*d , Robert E. Kiols and Leroy Nel&on heard the girl's calls for help and dashed out to make the rescue, v A party of five left Charleston ^yesterday afternoon for a swim at the boaoh rosort. Mrs. Emily S. Edwards, dietician at Baker sahi-. torium; her daughter, Emily Edwards; Edward Edwards, Mrs. Richard Tobin, and Frederick Moseley made up the group. It was nearly C o'clock, and Miss Edwards and her brother had started for the shore when they noticed that young Mope ley was struggling ineffectually against the current* which had cauyht him. By the time fcdward Edwards reached Moseley the yoting man was frantic, eye witnesses said, and a tremendous effort was necessary to break his desparing clirtih. The struggle had exhausted EdNfrardH, and it was his sister Emily who must be credited with ?UPh*>rtingv the Moseley and her brother for reArly five minutes. 1 "Don't help me; get hinv!".A'Miss Edwards told Riols when he' hfeabhed her, indicating Moseley. ftlolft tprtjed to Most ley, and as he did fco, was seized in a death grip. As he was being dragged beneath the water, Leroy Nelson came to his assistance. But for Nelson's aid, Riols said, --he would have been unable (to handle the drowning man, but between the two of them, they managed to swim with him, almost to the shore where they were helped by a young man from Spartanburg whose name was unknown late last night. In the meantime, S. E. (Pat) Harihon had seized the nearly uncon SC&0W Edwards and helped hin ashore, On being called last night Edwards disclaimed any credit foi his share in the rescue of Moseley "I1 was pretty much - exhausted when I got to the beach," Riol: said, "but felt a lot better after beinji given some ammonia." Moseley had become unconscioui during the rescue, and had to be giver vigorous first aid measures. He was worked on for nearly an hour by i corps of willing helpers, according t< the report of Riols. Everyone connected with the rescu< who could be reached reported th?' they were feeling fine, and Moselej was talking the afternoon's hap penings over in the best of spirits Edward Edwards said.?
