PLAN FOR A GOOD FALL
GARDEN ON EVERY FARM
It is rather easy for most aryor.e to
have a good spring garden, but it is
a great deal more trouble to have a
good Fall one. This is at least partly
due to three factors. Many times very
hot dry weather is prevailing when the
seed for the different fall crops are
planted. There is probably more ir.-
set’ts ard pests to be encountered with
fall gardens, and the weeds and grass
have taken the garden spot durirg the
summer, the farmer having to make
an extra effort to get rid of those be
fore he can stait the Fall garden.
Prepare the garden soil and make
liberal applications of stable manure
thoroughly mixed into the soil; also
use the balance mixed fertilizer. Side
applications of Nitrate of Soda or
Sulphate of Ammonia three to five
inches from the plantf will usually
give good results.
Rememlwr the' Fall garden and
make plar tings of the following:
Turnip — Yellow Aberdeen and
White Egg .
Turnip (Rutabaga)—Improved Pur
ple Top .
Beans (Srap Bush)—Bruntiful and
Late Refugee.
English- Peas—Horseford’s Marked
Garden, Natt’s Excelsior amt Ahitka.
Beets — Crosby’s Egyptirn and
Crimson Globe.
Lettuce — Big Boston, Improved
liansor and Iceberg.
Kale—Curled Siberian.
Carrots—Chantensy.
Squash—Yellow Crooked Neck or
Striped Crooked Neck.
The Asparagus Beetle.
The asparagus beetle continues do
ing damage in many asparagus fields.
A great many of the asparagus grow
ers have been dusting asparagus with
Calcium Arsenate for the control of
the beetle, but a number have neglect
ed to do so. With* heavy feeding of
beetle* in asparagus fields contiruing
the spring yields will be reduced con
siderably in quality and quantity be
cause the giowth of the plants made
this year determine the production
next spring.
Most insects are easier controlled
than the asparagus beetle, both stages
of the pest being heavy feeders. Three
to four pounds of calcium arsenate ap
plied with dust gun or machine when
it is quiet and still should be made,
icpeated at 10-day intervals for about
three applications.—Prepared by H.
G. Boylston, County Agent.

SCRUB BULL IS
HALED TO COURT
Placed on Trial for Hindering
Development and Prosperity
of Dairy Industry.
SOME NOTABLE FEATURES ,
OF RECENT FARMERS’ WEEK
Indicted for robbery, larceny, and et
few other such charges, Scrub Bull
went on trial for his life at Laurel,
Mississippi, recently. It seems that
for some time people had suspicions
that Mr. Bull was hindering the right
and lawful development of the dairy
industry, .thereby “maliciously and
wilfully lowering production and de
creasing profits in the dairy business,”
says the Bulletin of the American
Bankers Association Agricultural
Commission in commenting on the
case.
This, it says, was the first trial of
its kind ever held In that section and
was attended by several hundred peo
ple. The Jury, representing every vo
cation within the boundaries of the
Laurel trade territory, rendered a
unanimous verdict of “guilty.” The
death sentence was pronounced, “but
during the night, before the sentence
could be carried out, friends of the
convict secretly spirited him away
and he has not been seen since.”
The arraignment came during the
Milk Products Show sponsored by the
banks of Laurel. People attending
the show had the opportunity of also
attending the bull’s “trial” and went
away firmly convinced of the serious
ness of lax and out-of-date methods in
the pursuit of dairying. The pur
poses of both the Milk Products Show
and the trial were threefold, namely:
to develop public sentiment for more
and better Jerseys; to foster a more
cooperative spirit for -dairying and.
livestock growing, and to promote tick |
eradication. #
The banks of Laurel entered into a
cooperative arrangement in their ef
forts for fostering agricultural deveV
opuient and successful farming in the
community, offering $2,165 as premi
ums to the outstanding farm workers
throughout the territory during 1929.
An instructive booklet has been is
sued, showing the agrleultuiwl activity
of the banks, together with announce
ments of contests for farmers, exhibits

Clemson College, Aug. 12.—Organi
zation is the cornerstone of progress
for farmers as for any other group,
and if the farmer expects barkers,
manufacturers and others to improve
the farmer’s condition, he is doomed
to disappointment, said Louis J. Taber,
master of the National Grange, speak
ing at Farmers’ Week. Those present
voted to invite the National Grange
into South Carolina to discuss the plans
and purposes of the organization look
ing to a State organization here.

Hartsville, showed by convincing data
the effectiveness of sweetened poison
for presqu&re poisoning of the boll
weevil. Mr. Coker and the Experi
ment Station advocate dusting for
later poisoning, despite a tendency
sometimes to plant lice following
several dustings.
H. R. Tolley, U. S. Department of
Agriculture, talked twice on “What
Makes the Price of Cotton,” showing
that supply, demand, business condi
tions are main factors; Farmers must
study these at planting time and at
marketing. R. J. Cheatham, cotton
technologist, U. S. D. A., told how
demand is being increased for cotton
by finding new uses and extending old
uses. • /

cally every phase of agriculture. In
cluding agronomy, horticulture, agri
cultural engineering, poultry, animal
husbandry, soils and fertilizers, home
economics and marketing. A large
electrified farm model, showing the
uses of electricity on the farm, model
farm buildings and the ideal layout
and landscaping of the farmstead, Is
one of the most elaborate and attrac
tive exhibits.
Local bankers In each locality
visited gave the money to cover ex
penses for the transportation and In
stallation of the exhibit In their terri
tory and assisted in the preliminary
advertising and publicity. The Col

six-cylinder valve-in-head
motor—but, from every
