Mortgage lifters prepare to Battle | Fall Army Worm I ciems?n College, Aug. 8,?'Even a "... (jelay is dangerous and may be ELtrous in the battle of the army , .P*m H8ya Alfred Lutken, extension SSologiat, warnirffe farmers, as the K|jon for the fall army worm apKoeohes, IP watch fields carefully Kr the pest. IDetection before serious injury may | through the -fact that at first the lorms will be found usually on grass 1^ grftins, feeding on one surface of lives and making white gnawed arls that stand out against the healthy Kli*?*' It is important to destroy |e caterpillars before they move on |'ini gra . to cultivated crops. I Calcium arsenate dust, four to six omuls per acre, is very effective in Elling the young caterpillars, Mr. E?ken states, but the older ones are |ore difficult to kill and may do luch damage. On grasses, grains, Itton und such crops the arsenical an be applied undiluted. On beans, Ehich are easily burned, it is safer Euse one pound of magnesium arEnatc mixed with three pounds hyIrated lime. Poisoned bran bait can be used Efectively when grass is scarce, and] Ehen the caterpillars are moving in Erch of new food. This bait is pre-; Eted by thoroughly mixing 50 pounds ?vheat bran with two pounds of Icium arsenate and five pounds of salt, then two gallons of cheap Elasses thoroughly worked into the ||V mixture, and finally enough wa t0 make a stiff dough, this being Enough to broadcast five acres. PoulI must be kept from the field if Ihis method is used. The march of the caterpillars can E stopped by a deep furrow across Re line of advance, the steep side of he furrow to be on the side of tne lie Ids to be protected. The cater |illars falling into the furrow can be |lled by dragging a log through it. |ost holes in the bottom of the furlow will trap the caterpillars, -which In be killed by crushing or sprinkHng with kerosene.

H. Gooding, extension poultryman, calling attention to Circular" 115, "laying House and Equipment," just issued by the Extension Service. The new publication, which may be had free from the Division of Publications here, discusses important principles of construction and describes poultry houses and equipment especially adapted to South Carolina conditions. | The South Carolina poultry house, 20 feet square, housing comfortably j 100 to 125 birds, is described in detail, with plans and bills of material. Equipment described includes feeders, water stands, nests, feed bins, hoppers and coops, August Garden Hints _ Clemson College, August 8.?Consecutive plantings every 15 to 21 days will keep a supply of crisp vegetables for the home table and some for local markets, suggests A. E. Schilletter, extension horticulturist, in urging gardeners not to relax in their determination to have yearj round gardens. To this end Mr. Schilletter suggests that plantings be made now of beans, beets, carrotts, corn, lettuce, turnips and that plants of celery, cabbage, collards and tomatoes be transplanted at once. He urges also that this is last call for planting fall Irish, potatoes. Fall tomatoes, Mr. Schilletter reminds us, bring a good price on the local markets and in order to have a full supply of this vegetable, he urges the setting of strong;, stocky plants which should go deep into the ground and be well watered. Any fruits w^ich fail to ripen before frost can easily be saved and allowed to ripen in a cool, dark place, he says. Like animals, plants must be fed continuously, and Mr. Schilletter advises that if good results ini the garden are to be obtained the fall crops should be fertilized as abundantly as the spring crops. He suggests well decomposed manure and a side dressing of some quickly available form of nitrogen.

Grady. About Fanning (By Henry I). Green, County Agent) 1' ai mers who have a plenty of hogs, MJin, oats, wheat, poultry, two or more cows, good garden, sweet and Irish potatoes and sorghum for syrup ?are worrying a Jot less than the' farmers who have practically nothing but cotton. How long will it require for all of our people to see that we must have a balanced syitem of furming ? Some Kershaw county farmers have made splendid headway in getting on a safer and saner system of farming?but we must all get on a live-at-home basis or else lose our farms, our homes, our opportunities and maybe become peon workers for some big corporation farm that will buy in our farms. The idea of farmers always looking to Washington and hoping for "Farm Relief" is almost childish. We must get down to business like business people and put our farm business1 on a business basis. Therein* lies our real farm relief. For two years your county ager.t has constantly urged all farmers of Kershaw county to make a start towards getting on a live-at-home basi3. Many have heeded this urge?many have not. There is no longer an excuse of "Couldn't make a start," for not one single boy or man who has come to the county agent for help in getting a gilt pig has been denied. Many have come and today there are hundreds of hogs and pigs in the county due to this effort on the part of the farmews and the boys. Failure or success is largely up to the person concerned. A clear vision, free from prejudices, and a "will to do" will help any farmer or farm 4-H boy succeed. Those farmers who are scared almost to death now about 6c cotton should ask themselves: "Have I done my best? Have I worked with my. county agent in order that he could give me information learned from the -State and Government Experiment Stations?" But, no matter h<jw good a fix you are m??there is no turning back in this game of life. There is always time to get on the right road. Anybody will make mistakes. Wise men change their minds and their ways but fools refuse to change?and I don't believe there are any fools in Kershaw county. So let all of us get headed right. The cotton system and the hardships it has brought can not he blamed wholly to the farmers. The . burden of blame rests on the shoulders of mapy?on our so-called lead, ers whojare expected to study eeorrI omics and our future development? . on the old-time merchants?on the ~ most of our banks?and partly on our farmers. , It is time that our farm people , awoke to the full realization of the t fact that if relief is to come it must .Lcome at the hands of our farm people. Depressions nxe xnis cm l.-.t so badly the farmer who has Jived at I home, kept out of debt, who -depends not on a single crop but who has plenty of foc?, feed, corn, hogs, chick> ens, garden, etc. All of these things ; are possbile and within our power to have. Isn't it -a pity that more of . our farmers can't get down to busi, ness? Make a start if with only one somJ [ pig that costs $2.00 or $3.00. In two k years she will bring you more pigs ! than you need for home use. Then you will have hogs to sell. Try the . same thing with chickens, then cows. ' Don't forget the Cow, Sow and Hen . are the "Three Mortgage Litters." You have given all-cotton a long ! enough chance and it has brought mortgages by the thousands. Let's , try Balanced Farming. You will like it when once started. Negro'Dies Declaring Innocence Raleigh. N. C., Aug. 10.?Wilson Autrey, 20-year-old negro youth of Union cotrnty, convicted of criminal assault on the mother of a sevenweeks' oJd baby, was electrocuted at state's prison today.
