Field And Garden Bugs Notes from the Entomologist, On Insect Pests. Clemson College. April 19.?The boll weevi! has spread over the great- j r portion of South Carolina. In several of the coastal counties it is entering its third year of infestation. In case of a wet season severe damage j may be expected in Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, Allendale, Barnwell, Colleton and Charleston counties Considerable damage may also occur in the other coastal sections. The fundamental procedure in boll weevil control is intelligent diversification resulting in greatly improved ?dl fertility, soil conditions. An />T-rkT> r\f rnttr>n is vary necessary V??A 1/ vi vjr wa. w ww? in weevil years. Minor operations are profitable under favorable conditions, such a*' handpicking of fallen squares and collecting of punctured squares and bolls. These may be advantageously practiced where labor is cheap and available, for example, on plantations operated by families with a number of children that can be employed. The latest development in weevil I oontrol is poisoning, but this method is yet in the experimental stages. The j work so far done has been on Mis- j siasippi Delta plantations and the re- i suits secured are most promising. Wbtte it is not expected t&at tnis method will ever eradicate the pest, yet viewing the results so far secured together with the history. of weevil pefcroning, the prosspeots are very promistmf that this method is to develop into an important factor in boll weevtl control. A great many details muet yet be worked out experimentally. There will yet be continued improvements in the dusting ma- j bines and in the manufacture of oaloium arsenate, which appears to be one of the most difficult inseetifides to manufacture. Furthermore, %fee various details that present them-1 selves on the different plantations j outside of the Mississippi Delta will j bt worked out sa that a definite and j logical system of poisoning can be | recommended. Under any conditions, \ poisoning va thfs state in 1920 should ?nly be undertaken where weevil damage is expected te be severe; it should be undertaken on a small scale enly, and when ?nee begun it i should be repeated as oftsn as necesarary in a thorough manner or the results are likely to be unsatisfactory, j Experimental work will be conducted in the coastal counties of this state where the weevil te expeetea to oe : meet injurious. A number of planterg will no doubt conduot poisoning: . per at ions with machines and mate- : rials probably available. Ne erne ; ehmiW undertake dusting without re- j teiving full and authentic inform*- i tfon about dusting machines and the j adoption of proper safeguards in pw- j ehasing and applying calcium arsenate. Full information may be obtained by writing to the U. S. Delta : Laboratory, Tallulah, La., or the Ex tension Service, Clemson College, S. C. & A 1 THE PINK BOLL WORM. r ' This pest introduced into Texas | several years ago where it was held i at bay by the eombined efforts of the j , Federal Horticultural Board and the ! Texas authorities, has assumed a i threatening attitude. This pest ex- : Its areas in Texan it then got | ( away and established Itself ia the three southwestern eounties in Louisiana; and from these points shipments of cotton were made to various and sundry points before its . presence was disoovered. Both Texas and Louisiana Save increased their machinery for dealing with the situation, but In the meantime great precautions are necessary to prevent the spread of the pest to ether sections of the cotton state*. . Drastic quarantine measures have been adopted or are contemplated by the various cotton states* and these are to be in force at leaat until the limits of distribution ef the pest are again determined. This is we ef the worst insect peats of ^cotton, and wherever it appears in boll weevil infested territory, the damage may be expected to increase not lees than 55 per tent. GARDEN INSECT*. The principal sprays used against garden insects are arsenate of lead or arsenate of lime (also known as oel-arsenate or calcium arsenate) for eating insects, and nicotine concentrates for sucking inseeta. Against potato beetles, cabbage worms and other eating insects on hardy plants Paris Green can be used if properly made, but it should not be used on tender plants. Calcium arsenate is cheaper than arsenate of lead and can. be used on most garden plants n it is insisted that it contains not over .75 per cent soluble arienia. Nicotine is purchased as nicotine wlp&ate and is te rery concentrated forHL It is made up at tfee rata of a toaspoonful to an ordinary pa& of w*fcsr, or a ecffee cupfttf to a IftyfaHoa barral of -water.

At the present time the Salton sea, which is 160 feet below the ocean's level, is receding from its banks at the rate of approximately a , mile a year. Today the sea is 18 j miles long and nine miles wide at its widest point. In the heat of the torrid season the temperature in its neighborhood is from 10 to 20 degrees cooler than that of the surrounding country and outdoor dances are held on one of the abandoned nsn-piers left high and dry by the receding waters. The Salton sea is situated in the v?ry heart of the principal datei producing region of America. The land left bare by the retreating waters is eagerly sought by agriculturists, who stake their claims far out into the water in anticipation of further recessions. The soil is of saltincrusted adobe clay and very fertile. Mud volcanoes, miniature geysers and bubbling "paintpots" attract many tourists to the spot. The quality of the volcanic "paintpots" is declared to rival the best European sienna and umber. Utilization of this new-found color supply may soon render the continuation of European imports of such pigment unnecessary.

Its occupant was known to have ridden . a motorcycle in more than 150 miles K of mountain and desert road, and then to have been so unfortunate as to find j all the boats gone. When he came in n that night with his limit of birds, it was seen that he had made a queer c but efficient duck boat out of his 11 motorcycle side car. 1 Wood plugs closed .the bolt holes ^ where it was removed from the frame, ? and a can of pitch, judiciously applied, s sealed all possible leaks. Rock ballast ? of some sixty pounds steadied the a somewhat cranky craft, and its inconspicuousness aided the ingenious s sportsman in securing an unusual bag * of birds.

Five Bottles of Cardui Made Her Well. Kathleen, Fla.?Mrs. Dallas Prine, of this place, says: "After the birth of my last child...I got very much run-down and weakened, so much that I could hardly do anything at alL I was so awfully nervous that I could scarcely endure the least noise. My condition was getting worse all the time... I knew I must have some relief or I would soon be in the bed and in a serious condition for I felt so badly and was so nervous and weak I could hardly live. My husband asked Dr. about my taking Cardui. He said, 'It's a good medicine, and good for that trouble', so he got me 5 bottles... After about the second bottle I felt greatly improved.. .before taking it my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep. After taking it, however, this poor circulation disappeared. My strength came back to me and I was soon on the road to health. After the use of about 5 bottles, I could do all my house-work and attend to my six children besides." You can feel safe in giving Cardui a thorough trial for your troubles. It contains no harmful or habit-forming drugs, but is composed of mild, vegetable, medicinal ingredients with no bad after-effects.
