Those traps are placed and operated by the Hurotfu of Entomology and Plant Quarantine of the U. S. Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the South Carolina State Crop Pest Commission, Professor Franklin Sherman, state entomologist at Clemson announces. This Insect first appeared In the United States In New Jersey in 1916. In South Carolina the first specimens were found In 1931. The adult beetles do considerable damage to fruits and foliage of many kinds, while the underground grubs or larvae are even more destructive In eating off the roots of grasses and other plants, especially In lawns, parks, cemeteries, etc. Were It to bocome widely prevalent, damage would doubtless become severe lu pastures and fields. Since its discovery in this state In 1931, soil treatments have been given from year to year where conditions appeared most threatening. Apparently originally brought in by commerce, it has thus far been found only in towns, and soil treatments have been given In Charleston, Greenville and Florence. Federal authorities have notified Professor Sherman that traps are now boing placed In Florence, Sumter and Columbia, with additional traps soon to be placed In Greenville and Spartanburg. These traps are baited with a substance especially attractive td the adult beetles, and thus a helpful knowledge Is gained as to the beetle population in a locality. "Past experience has Indicated that the soil' treatments are highly effective in suppressing the insect, and that the protection lasts several years," says Professor Sh&rman. "The treatments are too expensive for all farmers to apply to fields generally; hence the effort, successful now for 10 years, to hold down the population and the spread. Surely no one will knowingly Interfere with the operation of these traps, the purpose and use of which is to aid in proper protection against an Insect pest which otherwise might become exceedingly serious." , Fight, Fight, Fight To Stop Boll Weevil Columbia, June.?The absolute necessity of Immediate, vigorous and effective control measures against the cotton boll weevil Is clear from the facts on weevil emergence this season and the past experience of county agents and others, David R. Hopkins, boll weevil control specialist of the Clemson Extension Service Bald today. F. F. Bondy, entomologist at Pee Dee Experiment Station, has advised Mr. Hopkins that boll weevil emergence records as shown by frequent examinations of a small plot of cotton planted In Isolated location show that 800 weevils per acre have emerged Into this cotton' field up to date. This emergence Is somewhat less than at same date last year In this same trap field. Some weeks ago the Station reported that approximately 63 per cent more weevils survived this year than last year. "The significance of the above facts Is that we may expect a much heavier emergence into pur fields during the next one to three weeks," Mr. Ilopkins said. ''We kpow that the weevils in large numbers survived the winter and that they all have not yet put In their appearance In our fields. The observation made by all of us during prior .years is that weevils ?ome out of sh I berh at ion rapidly at this season of tha year | following rain. The recent i local showers may be expected to cause rapid and large increases in weevil population. "Since boll weevil poison materials are high and scarce in many cases, the importance of thorough collection and destruction of punctured squares for next three week period is urged. "At the Pee Dee Station, Mr. Bondy has had approximately the same com trol with 'Mop and Mix' and 'Boll* Wee-Go' flour and starch mixtures, as with 1-1-1 molasses mixture. We still recommend first the molasses mixture, but where that is not possible, the use of some substitute is certainly advisable," Mr. HopklnB concludes. JOHN C. WE8T PROMOTED TO CAPTAIN Camp Stewart, Ga.?Capt. John C. West, battery commander in a Stewart Antiaircraft unit, has been promoted to that rank from first lieut., it was announced recently. In service since June 10, 1942, when he was called up from the reserves as a second lieutenant. Captain West was graduated from the Citadel, Charleston, with a B.A. degree. His home is in Camden, route 1, Geno Farm. Five Foot Snake With 13 Rattles Killed On Street A rattle snake five feet loug and having thirteen rattles was killed In front of the Mack Wolst home on Campbell street Wednesday afternoon. The snake was gliding along the west side of the road when a motorist, seeing it, swung his car and ran over it- The rattler was not dead but was quickly dispatched by the motorist and people from nearby residences. It was one of the largest seen in Camden or vicinity in years, having a maximum body circumfrance the size of a man's wrist. Campbell street is in the western side of the city and the Mather Academy and Browning home, colored colleges, are located on it.

Marshall, President Roosevelt's Chief of Staff, and Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., learned the answers to these questions. Said General Marshall: "Mr, Secretary, I want you to answer a question for me and to answer it with complete frankness. Can we military leaders plan to fight this war in an orderly way?in the surest and most effective mannef?or must we tuke extraordinary risks for fear the money will not hold out? Replied Secretary Morgenthau: "General, the American public will take care of that. What they have done in the Secbnd War Loan drive?the money they have produced and the spirit they have shown?is proof enough for me that they will not let our fighters suffer from lack of support until we achieve complete victory, no matter how long that may be nor how much it may cost."

YOU. WEED YOUR CROPS WHY NOT YOUR TIMBER ? * Our Country Needs Your Weeded Timber WOOD IS CRITICAL tyATERIAL; U. S. USING MORE OF IT THAN STEEL. The War Production Board wants 'farmers and other timber owners to know that there is a need for greater quantities of pulpwood to help win the war. The Army, t/he Navy, the other armed forces, and essential civilian needs will require some FIFTEEN MILLION TONS of paper and paperboard in 1943. To meet this tremendous demand, farmers, pulpwood industrial plants and other owners of forest lands are urged to step up pwlpwood production, a vital war job on the home front. The above information prepared and distributed by? U. S. FOREST SERVICE & EXTENSION SERVICE WASHINGTON, D. C. I Nelson Wants Increase N. In Pulpwood Output. Washington, May 15.?AP: Chairman Donald M. Nelson, of the War Production Board, appealed today to farmers in pulpwood producing states to make "an etftfort" to increase the pulpwood output. "If every one of thiT'51800,000 farmers in the twenty-seven pulpwood producing states were to devote three extra days in 1948 to cutting pulpwood we could overcome the threatened 2^00,000 cord shortage with wood to spare," Nelson said. Nelson urged all farmers to communicate with their nearest agriculture department representative to find out whether they could help in producing pulpwood which is the raw material for smokeless powder, ammunition containers, rayon and print paper. (Excerpt from News and Courier, May-15, 1943.) Pulpwood Cutting Counts I For Draft Deferment I The National Selective System recognizes the I production of pulpwood as essential wartime work. I A farmer or his son or hired help may be considered I for classification in Class 2-B or 2-C by his local draift I board if he is engaged in the production of essential I farm products, including pulpwood. | We will mark and cut your timber under selec- I tive cutting practice as approved by the Forestry I Service.
