They are as follows: Hurtling to kill bollwoevtl; burning to clear up now ground, buttling for a better pasture; burning ditch banks. It i? not wine to burn the wood* to control the boll weevil. Our woo?1h burned for fifty years before any boll weevil came to South Carolina. The boll weevil came' from Texas across other states which burned tlieli woods every year. Mut the boll weevil tame on and wo thought wo could get rid of him by burning our woods more frequently and more thoroughly, but to no avail. Only when wo startod to practise Improved cultural methods, made prosquare application of sweetened poison, cut stalks and plowed them under, did we make real progress against the boll weevil Fire In our woods lias destroyed neat, food, cover and young wildlife which consumes large quantities of boliweevlls. Hurtling to clear up new grounds | is not wise. The most economical way is to cut all the wood of the land and put it to some use around the farm or sell It. Then ruke the small | limbs and brushes Into piles and haul them on and put them In a wash, j Never burn only alker a rain or latoj in the evening. Never burn during( high wind Rake all inflammable material away from it. Hunting pasture lagd Fire robs your pasture of fertility, causes eros-i ion and Kills grass seed. Ditch burning may have to be done J to get rid of briars and bushes so that plowing can be done close to the | ditch, but l lie danger in ditch burning ; is due to carelessness. 11 siiuuid bo Kept under control at alt times and be sure that i: is out before leaving !
