Found In Large Towns
A warning that the black widow spider is now being
found in town* and cities has been issued by a medical
writer who says that these insects are being reports

service. He plans. ^ to attend the

rubbish piles, where flies and
beetles are likely to confregate.
But ahe resents being disturbed
by humans and thereto Ilea the
danger. More than one individual
has been stung on reaching for
an object in the comer of a gar
age, drawer, or closet. The same
cam occur on turning over a rock
or tugging at a plane in the field
or garden. The situation has not
reached the stage where we must
“stop, look and listen” every time
we do anything but it might be
worth while to be cautious espec
ially if the spider is known to
inhabit the vicinity. *
Only a few persons are bitten
each year. The majority are Cali
fornians, followed in line by Vir-
E inians and then Floridians. The
ite itself is not too painful; it
feels like a sharp, stinging, needle
like prick. Shortly thereafter the
area begins aching, dull at first
but increasing in severity and
tempo as the poison is absorbed.
Within one-half to one hour, dis
tress spreads to all parts of the
body and the afflicted one if

Survival is the rule but the
outlook depends upon the degaee

adults; and those
who are debilitated through al

suffer more than healthy persons.
In the pest, many remedies were

Cotton Contest
Enrollment Hus
Year Very Large
South Carolina cotton growers
are still interested top improving
the quality and lowering the costs
of production of cotton, the state's
leading cash crop. This is shown
by the fact that this year’s enroll
ment in the state 5-acre cotton
improvement contest is the largest
in it’s history and that more coun
ties than ever before have quali
fied for county prizes. _
A preliminary report released
this week by Harry G. Boylston,
Clemson extension cotton im
provement specialist, shows that,
with reports from three bounties
not included, the total enrollment
July 1, the closing date, was 975
contestants.
Forty three of the 46 counties
of the state showed an enrollment
of 10 or more contestants per
county to qualify them for county
prizes as well as for the district
and state prizes. The three coun
ties not reporting are Beaufort,
Charleston and Georgetown. Very
little cotton is grown in these
counties and none of them will
likely qualify for the county
prizes.
-This compares with e-total -en-
follment of 915 with 42 counties
qualifying for the county prizes
in 1948. The total number of
