. ' v | BY C. U. L*CBOY —' • Teachir of Vocational Afjriculture, Dunbarton, S. C. The number of minor peeta ia great along With the great damage done by each every year. These peats can be controlled to a large extent by a few simple farm practices,, whi<fi many farmers have never thought weald be of any benfit to them. Disease.free seed are of great im portance to the farmer who is trying to keep down the great number of injurious cottdm pests. Bacterial Blight, which isrone of the harmful and very common diseases of cotton, ia often spread from one Held to an other by seed. One of the most important farm practices which aids in the control of pests is rotation of crops. This can ben done by the farmer planting a .different crop on each field each year. It may be necessary to keep cotton off a piece of lard for several yeara. Thompson 10c Store ' ■ " A. Large Shipment' s just arrived. Also: \ Shipment of 12 ft.

C Rotation of crops will aid in control! ing Root Knot, Nematodes, Rust and partially control wilt The proper fertilizer a nd proper utilization of the fertiliser is s good warrior against some of the minor pests of cotton. The proper fertiliser constituents added to cotton may cause it to mature and set fruit a good while before some disease or some insects have time to attack it sufficiently to do much damage. The lack of potash may be the cause of the dreadful disease known as Rust. When the cotton plant is given a quick start by the addition of fertili zer and the aeed treated it will help do away with ‘Anthracnose, Bacterial Blight and Wilt. , Another farm practice of much im portance is cleaning up. The clean ing up of all fence corners, ditch- banks, etc., destroys a great number of the insects ard aporep of some of the very harmful diseases of cotton. The destruction of one\of our orna mental plants is in many cases a grant help, especially if the red spider is near, for it stays in this plant until the cotton plant is ready for them to attack it. This ornamental plant is the violet. If a farmer must depend upon soveral practices to aid him in com bating the pests of cotton as there are only a few diseases or insects which are controlled by a simple farm practice, he must do each well. At the same time a farmer ia carrying out a practice against a particular disease or an insect he may be aiding in the cortrol of aeveral diseases or several insects.

If not, why do you not hold your cotton for a short while until the distress cotton is absorbed? Each year at this time thousands of balpi of cotton are dumped on the market regardless of price. Do you realize that after deducting the cost of just picking ard ginning a bale of cotton, the farmer is getting about 10c per pound for it. Do you think this condition can last? ' ^ ^ .During the past few years, it has not been profitable to bold cotton—but don’t forget—people held cotton wh.*t prices were around twenty two cents. There is quite a difference now, with cotton selling in some interior towns below fourteen cents. If you wish to hold any cotton, I will advance you ten to twelve cents per pound\upon it. Fifty cents per bale per month coven both storage and insurance. You will 1 see by these rates that if you held your cotton for two months, it would only amount to lLQ0-|wr hda. —-—— ,— Should you ship any cotton to me, you may rest assured whefi you ordered it sold, you will get the correct weights, grades and prices.
