^ . \ 0 ~ ~ MONEY WASTED : WITH NO RETURN ' < Washington?To the general pub- 1 lie, the boll weevil is ja pestiferous insect which does something to the cotton crop. To the cotton grower the boll weevil is a cataclysm, a disaster, a nightmare of 'error. To the count try as a whole the bool weevil is the cause of an economic loss of vnguessed proportions. According to statistics of the Department of Agriculture, in the year 1921 the crop of cutton harvested was 7,954 000 bales. It should have been IK,000,000, but 10,712,000 were ruined bv ivitural phusps. ilih) of this enor mous quantity so destroyed the boll < weevil alone accounted for 0/277,000 bales, worth with the seed which would have been ginned, .$010,341,000, tor the thirteen-year period 1909-1921 the damage done by the weevil reached the enormous total of $3,102,.152,000. It is obvious that science can, if it will, eradicate the boll weevil, just as it eradicated the mosquito and malaria and yellow fever from the Canal Zone. At one time one of the most deadly spots on the face of the globe, the Canal Zone is now one of the < healthiest.

HEALTHY SEED, ' BETTER CORN The Way for Horry Farmers To Improve Corn Crop SORT OUT BEST STALKS Select Carefully, Dry Husk and Store Corn Securely Clemson College.?Recent studies have shown us that so much diseases of corn is transmitted in the seed, that we now piace more importance on selection and care of corn for planting than we formely did, says Dr. C. A. Ludwig, Associate Plant Pathologist, who advises that seed corn should come from healthy ears on healthy and vigorous stalks, and should not be subjected to moist Conditions after maturity either before or after the harvest. The selection should be made as soon as the corn is ripe and before it has had time to become damaged by the weather. Good-sized, firm ears, with wellfilled butts and tips, and with desirable shaped grains should be selected. Ears in which the tips extend beyond the husks should be avoided, as this allows water to enter and cause spoilage. An ear which is so heavy that it hangs downward on a broken shank should be discarded, for the broken shank indicates disease. Similarly, all ears on down stalks and all undersized or distorted ears should be discarded. Anv mold on an car is cause for rejection. When broken near the ear, the shank should be bright in color. Smudgy appearance or a "shreddy" break indicates disease. Selected ears should be husked, carefully dried, and stored in a dry place with plenty of ventilation. Each ear should be tested for germination and disease before shelling, and all undesirable ears discarded. Also, each ear should be shelled by itself in a separate container and inspect o Piles Cured in 6 to 14 Days. Drufijlista refund monev if PAZO OINTMF.NT fulls I to cure Itching.

It 1 is from these sources that we expect ( to obtain our revenues. ' A pullet or hen is an egg machine. Some of the essential factors in egg j production are breeding, feeding and , breeds, says N. R. Mehrof, Extension Poultry Sptcialist. i? i: i i i Dm-aiiiK*?rroaucuon can no increased materially by the selection ' and mating of high producing females and males. How are we going to pick out the high producers? The ( only accurate method is by the use , of trap nests, with which we are able , to obtain individual egg records. With these records on hand, we can , select our best producers and mate j with male birds from high producing females. Another very satisfactory method is culling. Using the physical characteristics. such as health, vigor and ] condition, head and adjuncts, condi- ] tion of vent, body conformation, handling qualities, moult, and pitr- , mentation, we are able to pick the < producers from the non-producers . Bv\culling And discarding the pop- 1 producers, we can improve the flock , average very materially. It pays to 1 cull, and now is the time to do it.
