IDetection before serious injury may

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.

New Circular Ready
About Poultry House
.Clenuon College, Aug. 10.?A good
poultry house, an asset to any good
farm, need not be expensive for good
results, and often an efficient house
may be made by remodeling an old
building already on the farm, says
P. 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.

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
