TEW TIME TO PLAN WINTER GARDENS Says Mrs. Dora Dee Walker Assistant State Agent Home Demonstration SELECT WINTER PLANTS LIME IT THOROUGHLY Always Ready Sale for Irish Potatoes in Early Fall and Winter. "h t! To All Demonstrators and Club Members : Now is the time to plan your winter Gardens. About the 15th or 20th ol July you may carefully select your winter plat, lime is well, and subsoil about 12 inches. Lay off 1-3 of it in rows 2 1-2 feet apart using plenty of leaf mold and well rotted compost as fertilizer. Plant irish potatoes on this one third of plat, using the small potatoes left from the spring crop if you have them. If not, plant the Lookout Mountain potato for autumn use. This crop can he left in the giuuiiu arm usea (luring the entire winter. There is always a ready sale for fresh Irish Potatoes in fall and winter. About the middle of August 1-2 of the plat may be planted in Rutabaga turnips, 1-G in the egg turnip, which comes off very early, leaving th. same area to be planted in lettuce tin first of November. The remaining 1-3 of plat may be planted in the White Pearl Onio: which will be ready for market the first of February, if the sets arc planted the first or middle of Septem$ her. By planting them this early in the fall they bring a fancy price in the market, coming on so early in the succeeding year. Then too. the ground will be available in March for planting pimentos or some other product. Onions require very frequent cultivation until the bulb is about two inches in diameter, then the soil should bo drawn away from the bulb, leaving it exposed above ground, from which, through the thread roots, it v.v t viv/jyo y vi ty jc4|ilv4l^? Winter gardens should be planted 1 through July, August, and September. To increase variety of production on the plat Irish Potatoes may be gathered and spread in a house for keeping during the winter, leaving the space ^ they occupy on the plat to be planted i 1 beets tii? first of November. These yield an abundant harvest for February and March market. They, too, require frequent cultivation.

(These notes are prepared weekly >y the Dairy Division of Clemson College which will he glad to answer my questions pertaining to dairying.) The smell of good silage is a cow's )est appetizer. Remember always that food is the >nly material with which a cow can' nake milk. The first essential for making rnon3V in (lairvinir is to nliminutn oil 'boarders from the herd." Dirt in milk means trouble and expense to the producer, distributor and consumer, Moreover, it means a low&r price. * ?-> "<t * r About nine-tenths of the dirt ir milk has been found to be cow manure Keep the cow and dairy barn clean. Milkers should have clean closedtop pails, clean, dry hands and clean milk production. It is more necessary and advisable to groom cows than horses. Vet how many farmers take this care of their cows ? Milk absorbs odors readily . Do not put it where it can be tainted by meats, soap, vegetables, fruits or other strong-odorcd provisions. Do not keep cream in rusty milk car.3, setters, or buckets; the cream will not keep so well and may contract an objectionable metallic flavor. One of the best steps in cleanliness is to whitewash the entire inside of the cow barn twice each year. Clemson College will give formula for a good, cheap whitewash. To test milk for dirt, as soon as it is received place it where it will he undisturbed for an hour. Then, without disturbing the contents, lift the bottle until the entire bottom can be examined for sediment. It is the consumer's duty to find out whether or not his milk is ^lean. The dirt in milk is matter unfit for human consumption and the consumer owes it to himself and his neighbors to demand good, clean milk. America can learn many lessons in dairying from little Denmark, which can afford to import and feed our grain and still sell its butter in competition v/ith ours. Intelligent dairy methods are behind it. J k ilement to: THE HORRY HERALD v/* ma ftWuflinJjy^/ you!

The most effective method is by fumigating with carbon bisulfide. Several kinds of insects attack stored wheat, feeding principally on the starchy material in grains. These in i Jjecth destroy tne germinating power of the seed, rendering it useVsss for planting. Even more serious is the injury they do by rendering the wheat inferior for milling purposes. Flour , from insect-infested wheat 'is of a I poor quality, containing a lot of the little brown remnants of the insects' work, Worst of all, the pests form | wo"b3 in the grain which clog up the milling machinery when the grain is ground. To control stored wheat insects, use carbon bisulfide, which is an almost colorless liquid, and non-poisonous It kills by suffocation. Some people store wheat in barrels and others in ! bins, the usual size of the bins being about 100 bushels. For an ordlinary i hnrrnl holdinc about, three bushels use carbon bisulfide at the rate of one - half teacupful to one barrel. For a ! 100-bushel bin, use 8 pounds or about one gallon. g I Apply the carbon bisulfide by sprinkling it over the surface of the grain in the barrel or bin. After sprinkling, cover the top of the barrel or bin with heavy burlap or other, likt material to hold the fumes in. Leav* this cover on for twenty-four hours Or longer. Repeat this treatment aft?r i ten days or two weeks to destroy the young that hatch from eggs after the first treatment. \ /, I ' I i i I I I FARMERS ADVISED * I ON COTTON CROP I Governor of This Stat? Believes That Solution Has Been * I Provided I H ADMINISTRATION HFI PS BACKING WAREHOUSES I Prosperity Dependent Upon the1^ I Cotton Crop of The I South. I r Governor Manning talking of the cotton crop last week said that the \ statement coming from Washington* recently that the federal reserve board would aid in financing the cotton crop H furnished additional evidence of the & sincerity of purpose and determine- jH nuii on mp pan 01 me administration H to carefully consider the interests of Hj the South as well as other sections of H the country. H "Cotton being the leading staple of H the South, the progress and prosperity of this section is directly depend- H ent upon it, and the possibility of lack H of export demand for the staple H would of course bring about a condi- H tion that would work great injury to H the South," he continued. 55 "The action of the administration is H not a surprise to me, and is only what. H I expected. It puts it up to us of the H South, however, to help ourselves, and H I am sure that we of the South will H not fail in this emergency. "The advice given by the federal "OCff'vn hri'i "/I unniwl .

"I want to point out to our farmers now the necessity for perfecting our H warehouse system and of adding to PjH our warehouse capacity. Now is the jO time to prepare to take care of the growing crop. "In the absence of legislation providing for official graders of cottort^ our different communities should get HI together and arrange to have a capable, disinterested and reliable man to grade cotton as well as to weigh it, so the grades and weights will be accurately shown on the warehouse receipts. I feel that if cotton is well protected from weather, well covered |H by insurance, and with the grading I and weighing accurate, that we can rely on being able to use these wareiiAn<.n r:?n ? ? ? ? nvuo'j 1.i tii h tiicfi uirougn iocai uiinKS and the federal reserve bank and that with these conditions complied with that we ought to be able to get money at a reasonable rate of interest. "As time goes on the warehouse receipts, if properly safeguarded, will become more and more desirable ai^ | a collateral on loans, and with this system worked out I believe that the problem of marketing our cotton will be solved. If we do our part I believe that President Wilson and the Democratic administration at Washington |^D will do theirs, and that we can look with courage to the future." ^ ?* o-? There !s probably no farmer in the state who does not want to economize at this time of uncertainty. One of the surest ways to economize is to have a fall and winter garden which I will save many trips to the grocer's} .and many dollars of money, *} jj^| | ...~4sl J* ?" l I in practically every section of South Carolina it is possible to rtow vegetables the year round. With a wellarranged succession in the home gar- I den, one can have fresh products on H his table even In mid-winter. Is this not worth a little labor? H In the late summer or early fall, examine the grain to see that no reir^* |B festation has occurred. If the insects IB are present again, carbon bisulfide must again be used. Carbon bisulfide is highly infammablp and fire of all sorts must be j'^B kept away from it. It is dangerous even for a man who is smoking to go '|H near a wheat bin in which the materIbl has been sprinkled. He sure^o keep every form of fire away from the barrels or bins and from the vessel which holds the carbon bisulfide. Carbon bisulfide can be "bought in I , 50-pound and 100-pound drums for about 0 cents per pound, at an address which will be given by the entomology division of Clemson Colleg^f tB Drums must be stored in a cool place, away from every possible source of I^B .fire. ,^^B B
