Some are new and untried, no doubt, but most of them have been tried many years ago and have been found to be worthless. lit appears to be folly pn the part of farmers to go a- head and buy any , machine or device without first knowing its true value. I received the following letter from the Delta Labatory recently in re- f eference t o certain p 1 o w- stock outfits which are being sold at this time. I quote the letter beldhr for your information and guidance: “Mr. H. G. Boy 1st on. County Agent, Blackville, S. C. Dear Sir:- With reference to the device which we judgde to be the ** Boll Wee vil Killer’*, would say that we have not seen this particular device, but have observed and tested the opera tion of many built on similar lines and ^ould say for your information that none of these has shown any merit whatever. It is well to advise you that Calcium Arsenate cannot be successfully distributed on the cot ton plant In liquid form, even by machinery of high claaa and with high poorer driven agitation. Cal- | cium Arsenate is not soluble in wa ter. In order to effsct a proper dis tribution of the minute particles of the poison thorough agitation is nec essary in order that the poison may bo carried to the plant in small glo bules of water You ran readily see that such a machine as this is totaiy inadequate for handltwg this materia!.

The Democratic party now requires that the National Executive Committee AID FOR ROADS THROUGH BARNWELL COUNTY TOWNS Barnwell, Blackville, Kline and Elke to Benefit Thereby. Some people work in season and others out of season, but Col. Edgar A. Brown, a member of the House of Representativies, is tireless in his- work for the best interest of Barn well County. It has just come to light that for more than a year Col. Brown has been negotiating with the State Highway Department and the engineers representing the Federal Government, who are in charge of the government roads being built in Barnwell County, with a view to ob taining State and Federal aid for the towns of Barnwell, County through which the roads in question pass. Heretofore It has been the policy of the government not to give Federal aid for those ports of roads that went through corporate limits of a town, and thus where the city fathers were unable to build the roads through the limits there was always bad traveling getting into anA out of village^. As a result of the efforts of Col. Brown, the State and Federal authori ties have consented to build roads en tirely through the towns of Kline and Elko and have agreed to contribute liberally to building the ropds now under construction through the towns of Blackville and Barnwell. This is one of the few instances in which the State and Federal governments have been induced to assist the towni in this way. Col. Brown mode a trip t* Colum bia one day loot week and reporta al so that the State Highway Depart- »vnt is advertising three other con tracts in Barnwell County—the mud from Barnwell to Elko and the mud Irtm Elke through WUhsteu to the Aiken County Hue and the bridge con tract for the couetructieu of a 200- foot concrete bridge over Saltkekat- rhie en the Kline mud.
