Says Stale imports Too Many Eggs Used ffldpioiti July 13- That 42.8 per cent of the eK8? marketed in South Carolina In 1334 were Imported fvom other' Htoten is khown in a study of !00 markets by Mien Jitanita Neely, district home demonstration agent who ?'a* theu 8ervln? 88 an e*ten?|on poultry Bpucl&ttst. Strongly supporting this finding is a report by 0. M Ulark, extension agricultural econoiurn. indicating that 53 per cent, of the eggs marketed in the state are imported. On the strength of these findings and on the successful experience of demonstration flock records, Miss Neely states that there seems to be no reason why efficient poultry production and marketing should not be a profitable business in the state, to the extent at least of supplying local and nearby markets with high quality poultry products. Miss Neely's findings in the eggmarketing study are published in Extension Circular 149, Economic Factors Influencing Egg Marketing in South Carolina,?which tells of the scope of the study, farm flock practices, farm marketing practices, and wholesale and retail marketing prac| tides. ~T~" 7t Extension Circular 149 may be had free from county farm and home agentB or from the Publications Department at Clemson College. WEATHER CHECK8 WEEVIL, J ENEMIES CHECK LICE Clemson, July 13.?The boll weevil is decidedly less abundant at present than for the corresponding period last year, according to observations and weevil counts by farm agents over the state. An average of five per cent of the squares in 175 fields representing all parts of the state where fruiting cotton is found were reported punctured during the week ending July 11. On July 13. 1935, slightly more than tdn per cent of squares were punctured. "Throughout most of the coastal section a new brood of weevils is emerging," says W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist, "and marked increases in weevil infestation may be expected if rainy weather occurs. "We have received many lady beetle specimens from coastal counties this year with the statement that they are damaging cotton. On the contrary. they are not damaging cotton but are helpful in that they devour plant lice." the entomologist states. "Plant lice are injurious to cotton plants. Dusting with calcium arsenate tends to attract plant lice and to destroy parasitic wasps* which also tend to hold lice in check." Sudie Haynes, 33, is held in jail at Wilson, N. C., charged with murder and arson, in that she ls'alleged to have murdered her half brother, Howard Goodwin and then set fire to the house in which he had lived.
