Page No. 6 DUSTING FOR THl CO! o (Continued from last week.) F1" H assured that the poison applications will be made at tne cime i.nd in the right manner, and If you are willing to spend the full amount necessary to provide an adequate supply of dusting machinery and poison. The general gains from weevil dusting under average, fairly favorable conditions seem to be from 200 to 400 pounds of seed cotton per acre, but owing to variations in degree of weevil injury it is not safe to expect much more than the lower figure. Consequently, you should not dust if the cost of the calcium arsenate, the cost of the labor to apply it, and the depreciation on the dusting machines will total more per acre than the current value of 100 pounds of seed cotton. Hand puns should ho figured as depreciating 50 per cent in a season and the larger machines about 25 per cent. What Dusting Machine Should You Use? Make your acreage allotment according to the following schedule, and buy a surplus rather than shortage of machines, as this will save you money. Hand Guns. Do not allot over 8 acres to one hand gun. Do not attempt over 25 acres in tme organization with hand guns. Do not supply individual tenants with hand guns and expect each to care for his crop successfully independent of the others. Use hand guns only when no other machine is suitable. n Saddle Gun. The saddle gun is somewhat similar to the hand gun. It is operated from mule back by hand cranking. There are two nozzles, one extending down on each side of the mule, thus treating two rows at a trip . One of these machines should <dust about 15 acres in a niirht of on eration and should he allotted not more than 40 to 50 acres for the season. One-Mule Machine. This machine is drawn by one animal and operated between two rows of cotton. Several mode's are on the market. It sells at a medium price and is suitable for small farms. This machine will cover from 15 to 20 acres in a niprht of operation. It nhould not be allotted more than 60 acres for the season. This machine has only two nozzles, but will usually cover three rows at a trip. Cart Machine. This term is used to describe the two-wheel, two-mule machine which straddles a row of cotton. It is the type most suitable for large farms. This machine will cover from 25 to 30 acres in a niprht of operation. One of these machines should be allotted not more than 100 acres of infested cotton for the season. This machine has three nozzles, but will usually cover four rows at a trip. How To Dust. Use only pure calcium arsenate in the form of a dry powder. Apply this only in dust form. Purchase this to conform to the following: specifications: Noi less than 10 per cent total arsenic pentoxid Density not less than SO or more than 100 cubic inches per pound. Use only dusting machinery especially constructed for cotton dustingf. Dlist nnlv wl-mti ---'? ? _ uic ?n is caim unci the plants are moist. This practically means making only night applications. Use about 5 to 7 pounds of calcium arsenate per acre for each application. Start dusting when the weevils have punctured from 10 to 15 per cent of the squares. Keep your cotton thoroughly dusted un4il the weevils are under control. This usually means about three applications at the rate of one every four days. Then stop poisoning until the weevils again become abundant. If the weevils become abundant early enough to injure your young IAch The Horry Horry ( son at you if t unless 1 Now is the 1 their business. A. ^ .. E TON BOLL WEEVIL bolls, make one or two more applications late in the season. If you have a heavy rain within 24 hours after dusting, repeat this application immediately. Do not expect to eradicate the weevils. Dusting merely controls them j sufficiently to permit a full crop of I cotton and you can always find weevils in the successfully poisoned field. Keep your cotton acreage low and do everything: possible to increase your yield per acre, as it costs just as much to dust one quarter bale per acre cotton as bale per acre cotton. Always leave an occasional portion of a cut untreated for comparison with the adjoining dusted tract. This will show how much you have increased your yield by dusting. If you are considering dusting, write to the Delta Laboratory at Tallulah, La., for more detailed'information; also ask the advice of your county agent. o WILL BE COMMITTED Osceola James, a young lad twelve years of age has been placed in the custody of the Judge of Probate as unruly and one who cannot be controlled by his foster father, Pink Edge. Edge is said to have taken this boy from an orphan asylum when the boy was quite small. Taking him to his home he did all that human means could suggest to make something of him in the best ways open to him, but at last accounts the boy could not be made to obey and steps have been taken to commit him tn imliisitrini school for boys at Florence. o HOW TO DETERMINE BOLL * , WEEVIL INFESTATION Clemson College.?Weevil infestation is rarely uniform, and it is necessary to determine the amount of infestation in any given field before attempting to poison th< ; weevil. Therefore, it is important to have a simple method of determining the amount of infestation, or, in other words, counting the weevils. Prof. A. F. Conradi suggests the following simple plan. Select several points in the cotton field which will represent average plant and stand conditions. One of these points should be in the center and one near each corner, the corner points about 20 feet from the edge of the field. Make the record weekly at about the same points throughout the season. When counting every square count continuous in the row, using normal plants and count every square large enough for a weevil to puncture. Squares on which the little bracts can not be opened by hand are too small and not to be counted. Count 100 squares at each point, leaving the sound squares and picking of the punctured squares. Use not over 25 plants per row, coming back to the next row, and so on until inn ? iww .^?|uiire.s <lre COUIltGCt. After the count at each point has been completed and the punctured squares counted and recorded, make the calculation, as illustrated below, to determine the percentage of infestation. Northeast corner, 100 squares examined. 20 punctured, 80 not punctured. Northeast corner, 100 squares examined, 10 punctured, 90 not punctured. Southeast corner, 100 squares examined, 25 punctured, 75 not punctured. Southwest corner, 100 squares examined. 5 punctured, 95 not punctured. Center point, 100 squares examined, 15 punctured, 85 not punctured. Total for field. 500 squares examined, 75 punctured, 425 not punctured. Divide the total number of punctured squares by 5, the number of points examined, which in the above illustration gives 15, and represents the average number of punctured squares per 100, or 15 per cent. Each field to be poisoned should be counted in a smilar way. fertising Herald covers I meant bounty is a large c< hand the farmers 1 :hey don't know yoi :hey know you ha\ time to advertise an< They are going to b dvertise THE HORRY HERALD, * BEACH RESORT RUNNING FULL Good Roads Bring Crowds There From The Very First BIG CROWD FIRST SUNDAY National Highway is in Charge of Competent Road Engineer i-'i ? . A visit to Myrtle Beacch calls attention to the improvements that have been made and those now in the making. A new board walk from the strand to the Myrtle Beach hotel is one of the most recent improvements made by the owners of the resort Perhaps the formation of a Red Cross life-saving corps is the most important addition to the advantages of the beach. There is a tennis court in process of making or one of the vacant corners of the open space fronting the strand, not very far from the annex. Work on the clay roads along the beach was done last year. This has been worked up and smoothed over for tliP nrpsont concnn If ...ill ' -W V?'V>IV UV 1?

From a few desolate looking: shacks of a few years ago, Myrtle Beach has groNvn into a town of considerable size with nicely painted building's and lovely cottages. From the few dwellings that once lined the beach the place has grown into a village of many rows of homes. Most of these summer homes are no longer in the ancient dwelling- class, but are fitted ??r? v.'ilh mooeri, conveniences and have the look of modern progress in making: pleasant places to live. Changes have been made in the sand hills about the cottages and the place now has the appearance of a well-kept town and is fujl of busy life. W. C. Pitts, civil engineer, working the control of the State Highway Department, is in charge of the National Highway from Gallivants Ferry. He will strive to keep the road in good condition all the way from that point to Myrtle Beach. The road from the Red Hill to the Socastee bridge was recently scraped. Last Sunday the surplus earth was left in two ridges, one on each side of the road. In a short time this earth will he spread over the surface of the road bed and there will be a perfectly smooth track all the way to the beach. There is no place along- the route where cars cannot pass each other with ease and the trip can be made in fast time. The season at the beach has opened up with every promise of the greatest success in its history. On Sunday before the opening of the hotel there were many visitors and a crowd went in bathing. Last Sunday was the first Sunday after the opening of the Myrtle Beach hotel for the season of 1023. There was a large crowd of people there throughout the day. Many automobiles were parked at the hotel; another great number at the hotel annex, and still more at the Myrtle Reach Yacht club. The road to the beach has been used a great deal for the past week. Tt will be a popular highway from now until September. o TIMELY GARDEN HINTS Clemson College.?One extreme usually follows another; therefore gardeners must guard against the harmful effects of dry weather. Thorough cultivation is one of the greatest secrets of successful gardening. A (last mulch, resulting from continuous cultivation, is next to regular rains in value. Remember to make successive plantings of all vegetables that might be planted at this time and keep in mind the surplus needed in canning.
