Destroy Stalks Early To Kill Boll Weevil j Only a very small percentage of cotton boll weevil* deprived of food by October 1 will live to damage cot ton the following season, stales W C. Nettles. extension entomologist, asserting thai earlv deal ruction of cotton stalks I* ^n effective way to reduce the number of weevils going Into hibernation Stalk destruction may be accomplished rapidly by running the stalk cu'ter over them and then plowing up the stubbies, thus providing a good fertile seed bed for growing winter cover crops To be really effective. stalk tie ? nt ruction must be early and this early destruction dors not involve any ; extra operation, for stalks will be destroyed during the winter anyway, so, Mr Net lets qsks. why n?H early ?, "Karly stalk destruction tends to reduce weevil populations in two ways", he explains "First, fujrther ! breeding after the crop is picked and. befofr frost cuines is prevented by drying out of w?j**vll infested squares and l?oll-. Second, feeding by adult weevils is jirevented. many of them dying before going Into hibernation and others going into the winter 011 an empty stomach and having reduced chances of survival In the coastal section of the state. with cotton maturing earlier than usual and with heavy weevil Infestation, j early stalk destruction appears to be a very practical means of reducing weevil numbers" i To Seek New Trial For Six Convicts Columbia.

Comparable figures for the 1037 crop compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture are as follows: South Carolina. 458,000 acres in oats, 10,000.000 bushels production. North Carolina, 230.000 acres in oats. 4.830,000 bushels production. Virginia. SO,000 acres In oats, 1.680,. 000 bushels production West Virginia, 76,000 acres in oats, 1,520,000 bushels production. Although the average yield for the state was only twenty-bushels per acre, this yield could have been increased materially If the seed had been treated before planting and if the entire acreage had been sown with the improved variety known as Fulgrain which made the highest yield In a South Carolina Experiment Station test. 94 1 bushels per acre, while Fulghums. the most popular local variety, yielded 50.9 bushels per acre. It is much more disease resistant, had much larger, heavier grain, and is a week earlier than Fulghums. It is muoh more cold resistant than Fulghums. and is not winter killed by severe winters in which Fulghums fr> e/e out It makes a vigorous winter growth and is superior for winter pasturing or hay. In a South Caro-' Una tes' the yield o? oats was in- ? 1 reased from 1'.'. per cent to 40 per i en: by seed treatment The Department of Agriculture recommends that a!! Hfi'tl oats should be treated before planting Pipeline 100 Years Old Made In Log Chardon, Ohio.?A pipeline of hollowed logs 1,000 feet long, thought to be a part of a plumbing system installed about 100 years ago. has been uncovered by D O Root on a farm near here TToh'-s had hem br>r~ri through the middle of the logs and the end of each log was sharpened to join the next.
