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

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.

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

SALTOM SEA IS DISAPPEARING 1
r
Possibility That the Land It Has Cov- j r
. ered Will Ee Soon Available , e
for Agriculture. i
|
An inland sea which, according, to :
geologists, has changed from sea to
desert, and back again to sea, at least
fifty times since its inception, is one }
of the wonders qf the Imperial valley
in California. 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.

strange craft was sighted in the ellgrass
of the shooting grounds. 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. So well pleased was he with c
the adventure that now he contem- r

To Think and to Know. |
A Charleston housewife being sud- j
denly deserted by her cook advertised |
for another, stipulating that applicants |
must bring good references. The only j
. response to the advertisement was a 1
very fat and very black old woman |
who s.eemed promising until she was ?
asked for her references.
"Deed, honey, Ah done tore up dem |
references," she. responded.
"Destroyed your references? How |
unusual. Don't you realize that that j
must cause people to suspect that you |
are not a good servant?" |
"Yassum, maybe dat's so," the appli- |
cant agreed. "Yo' des' 'speck Ah ain't ?

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."
