This beetle or pa- renY may 5e found af THe present time feeding upon small grain in the fields, fruit blooms about the orchard, or on almost any other green vegetation found about the farm. The larva or grub confines Its ac tivity to corn and various grasses found growing in low moist lands, commonly known as bottom lands. The opgs are laid by the parent beetle from about the first of March to the middle of April. Porn planted on low lands dtiriii" the egg laying period is very often seriously damaged and sometimes completely destroyed by this insect. After the corn has reach ed a height of about ten inches no f serinus injury occurs. ' Remedial Measures. Avoid planting bottom lands infested with l»ud worms until about two-thirds of the grubs have reached the quiescent period. The planting dates for various sections of the state has been carefully marked out and are fol lowed by many of our farme-s. They are as follows: For lower South Carolina plant after May 5th. For middle South Carolina, plant one week later. For upper South Carolina or the Piedmont region, plant two weekly la ter or about May the 15Mh. By carefully observing the planflplc dates a stand of corn may be secured while the grubs of the first genefi- tion are sleeping in the soil, their be fore the second generation romfcs. the corn Is too large to be serious^ Injured.

SWEET POTATO DISEASES — L Seme Timely Pointer* on the SwUct Potato Diseases Which Should Kept in Mind at Bedding Time, j* Ch*m*on College,-As the time ap- prnache* for bedding sweet i»otatoes the way in which some of the mbre troublesome of the sweet potato dis- eases get into the field and pread -* f f»h<*ul(l he kei ’ in mind.

Where pota toes PffV ’eii with this trouble are u«rd Twenty Million Bales More Likely Than Twenty^Cents a Pound, Says Hastings. Atlanta, Ga—(Special)—That 1917 is a "danger year" for the south, and that there is "dynauule in the pres ent cotton situation f»r the cotton- growing farmer,are the warning words used by H. G. Hastings, presi dent of Nje Southeastern Fair Asso ciation and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, in an interview given to the newspapers here urging farmer* not to increase their cottqa acreage. "Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at planting time In spring," he says, “is the bait that will lure hundreds r.f thousands of farmers in the south to each put In a few extra acres, and should nature smile on the crop as in 1914, we will come nearer a twenty million bale crop than 20 cents per pound, for evidence multiplies daily that they are 'planting right up to the graveyard,' as it is sometimes ex pressed. "On the Hastings farm we don't ex pect to put in an acre more of cotton than *o did last year, because we think it a time above all others to play safe. What we will iheroa.-e to the limit of our ability will be f ed, grain and forage, beef cattle and hog“ "The safe way is to first supply all needs of family fitu\ stink from one's own acres, and then put surplus acre age in cotton. With bread and meat in hand, and a garden producing steadily through spring, summer and fall; with home canned vegetables and fruits on closet shelves for winter ta ble use; with corn in the crib and hay and fodder in the barn or stack, the farmer ran be largely independent of cotton prices in the fall. The farmer so provided for is never 'distressed.' He can sit on his cotton bales with mind at ease, and sell in his own good time when prices are right for i eed Hie disease gi N into ’ the sprouts that rome from these and Is eatried directly into the field Here the disease attacks the roots and the potatoes and after causing consider able il-.mage Is brought hack again into ‘he hanks of storage houses the next fall. Potatoes used for seed should he free from thjs disease. There are several other diseases of sweet potatoes that cgn be detected on the seed and that spread in exactly the same wtiv that the black rot does. In pit king out potatoes for seed these should t>e looked for and wherever foThi(1 the seed affected with them should be disi arded or If clean seed rannol b« secured they should be treated with formalin solution as Indi cated above.
