I £ PLEASE RENEW PROMPTLY! Largest County Circulation. VOLUME XLVIII. BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9TH, 1921. NUMBER 6. BEST FALL METHODS OF WEEVIL CONTROL SUGGESTED BY AGENT f Two methods of attack against the bo 1 weevil will reisult in fewer -wee vils next spring: (1) The seeding of fields to green crops such as oats, rye and vetch; (2) The early plowing un der of cotton stalks. All authorities are agreed that the early killing of green cotton stalks pays, though the plowing under of stalks after severe frost is not a boll weevil control measure. Community Action Important. If your neighbor does not kiil his cotton stalks, and you kill yours, many of your starving weevils will reach his fields searching for food and spend the winter with him. Next spiing he will have the most weevils. Rut if the weevils .find no green cot ton on your neighbor’s farm and the weTTher is not cool enough- to make th m go into winter-quarters, they mu't become wanderers on the face of the earth in search of their staff of life-r-cotton. If all the stalks in the community aw plowed under or killed two to four weeks before frost (or hii •rnation) the old weevils nearly all starve, and the weevils in the young stage do not reach maturity. Re sult—few come out alive next spring. Ktrly Action Essential. At the Experiment Station, at Flor ence, weevils were caught at differ^ ent dates without any cotton for 1'ood^Jj.ut with suitable hibernation BUDGET OF INTERESTING SOCIAL AND -—r-—-f-’ PERSONAL NEWS FROM WILLISTOX s Dollar Democracy-Let’s Go!

He and several companions were en joying a hunt and as they were pre paring to return home they were of fered a ride by a neighbor on his truck.

The dental clinic at the Barnwell High School has been highly success ful this year and those who havo been instrumental in making tho clinic possible are very much pleased with the work done l>y Dr. J. E. Hair, the dentist in charge. Many pupils have beijefitted and it is believed that the clinics in the schools have come to stay. The People takes pleasure in publishing letters of endorsement from Supt. J. D. Robison, Mrs. A. A. Lemon and a patron of the clinic who desires her name withheld from pub lication. Mr. Robison, in » letter to Prof. H H. King, of Dunbarton, writes as follow.-: Supt. Robison’s Letter. “Supt. H. H. King, Dunbarton, S.O. My Dear Mr. King:- “As Superintendent of the Barn well High School. I am taking tne liberty to write you concerning th-- Dental Clinic, which we have had in * —* Barnwell for the past month. _ “I feel that t^e-work domrthis year ha- l>een of the very highest class. Dr. Hair has been very faithful iu his work ami has aroused much favor- x I able comment from the pupils and the parents. There are a great many pupils who are not having work done this year. 1 can readily see, however, that there has been an under-cur r ent of go.s ip in town concerning the clin c of last year. This ha> been very di trimen al to the clinic, and thc-e people, either willfully or un consciously, have defeated the cau*^ for which the State Board of Health and the local committee have worked so hard. “Will you express to the patrons of your -chool this expression of sat isfaction that comes from all, who have taken the opportunity so freely offered them at one-half of the ao tua cost. We hope* that your school will not be prejudiced by the thought lessness of someone, who must talk and knows nothing better to talk alx>ut than the dental clinic. “The Dental Clinic ris, in my opinion, one of the lx*st institutins in the State. Then* are many children whh caiytot afford to have their work done and who neglect their teeth. The operative work o£ the dentists is j only secondary to the great wprk that is being clone The educational side of the work is the most vital. The children are taught to value tho'r teeth and to take care of them. The decayed teeth are cared For, if the parents will permit. The spirit of pride is instilled into the child, and nine times out of ten, the child will respond, if the parents will give them the proper encouragement. “J sincerely hope that you will have a successful clinic. We have a splen did dentist, who will do everything possible to make it a success. With kindest personal regards, I am. Very sincerely yours, J. D. Robison. Mrs. Lemon’s Endorsement. * * ' Barnwell County is fortunate in se curing the services of Dr. J. E. Hair, of Fayetteville, N. C., to takp charge of Dental Clinics throughout the county. Dr. Hair is a graduate of the Atlanta Dental College, one of the lx*st, if not the best, in the South. He has been before the Board of Exami ners and successfully parsed ^the ex amination in three States—Georgia, North and South Carolina- -and has- been practicing with his brother in Fayettevlle* We have established Dr. Hair in the Barnwell school first and observed his, work from ‘every angle and feel that we are in a position to say that his work is high grade and up to stand- . ard in every sense of the word. We hope that no parent in the coun ty will fail to take advantage of this opportunity to have the children’s ;work done at the moderate price of 50 cenU per operation, which is less than half the actual cost of the work, the balance lx*ing paid by the county, Mrs. A.
