MILLIONS OF BEES POISONED Damage by Weevils In Orangeburg i County This Season, It la Stated Will bo Something Enormous. Orangeburg.—Farmers all over low- dr Carolina killed millions of bees thia past spring while they were trying to kill the boll weevil, if reports coming to the office of L. 8. Wolfe, farm d«m- onstration agent, are true. Several farmers hi Orangeburg county noticed large numbers^ of dead bees around their gums and upon investigation they found that the bees had been .sating the poisoned syrup mixture put on cot ton plants in an effort to control the weevil. Where calcium arsenate had been dusted on as recommended by the United States goveenment, there seems to have been no damage to the bees, but the syrup-cal-arsenate mix ture seems to have played havoc with the little honey gatherers. The boll weevil damage in Orange burg county will be something enor mous. Mr. Wolfe says. He says that the damage to cotton Is spotted, but that, no fields have escaped damage. Some fiefds will not make.^.quarter of a bale to the acre where last season a bale or more was made. It seems as If the bigger the cotton the greater the damage.^ Mr. Wolfe says that broods now hashing will make this damagefee that very little more fruit will be "put on <^>tton. According to * best estimates obtainable it looks aa if Orangeburg county will not make over 40,000 bales inis year, against an average of about 87,000 bales Georgetown. — A movement is on fott here to make Labor day.
