Program At Rehoboth Church Items Of Interest To The Farmers ese Written And Arranged For The Busy Man Numbers of boll weev.ls are be- ?ng reported f'ver the county, accord ing to Thos W. Morgan. Lot] coun ty agent, who sta'ns that the carlv ndications pointing, ta a ^eavv in- festat*' " thh y'ar a’ v ' being b'rn: out, both in the carliness of the wee- vil* and the number ba ng found. According to Mr. Morgan, the farmers w II do w°ll to k~e - i a close watch on their fields fer weevil dam age, and prepare themselves in ad vance to light the weevil. Accord ing to all experiments, it is needless to try to fight the weevil before tin cotto n beg’r.s to put on squares. Then, for the first few weeks, the molasses poisoning will be to a cer tain extent efficient. However, af- r this stage, only calcium arsenate dust will prove to be successful in ( fighting the pest. Extensive pois-; onirg prc'bably w 11 not pay on land I will rot make over one-half a] bale of cotton to the acre without the boll weev.l. Several typos of dusting machin ery are on the market, and it is left to the individual to select the duster that will host suit his needs. These are: 1 -the hand duster, with which one ca n take care cf five to eight acres; 2 the mule back duster, with which ore man and a mule can dust 20 to 30 acres; and 3 the two row, wh^el power duster, with which one | man can dust 20 to 30 acres. The larger mach nes are not practical for McCormick County fields. The price of these dusters may seem high to the average small farmer, but when he has as much as ten to twenty acres in cc/tton. the gain from pois oning will several times pay for the mach ne, which will remain as per manent equipment on the faim. Mr. W. L. White, of the Liberty Hill section, reports that the Army W< rm is doing heavy damage to his cotton, having killed over an acre of cotton. Pdisoning with calcium ar senate will successfully control the army worm, and this method is rec ommended to those who have trouble with this pest. The county agent states that he has received a number of copies of Extension Circular No. 95, entitled “Controlling the Boll Weevil,” and will mail out copies to anyone ie- qu^sting same. It seems that we are going to have to fight for a crop of cotton in Me-: Cc'rmick County this year, and those wdio do the fighting will be those who make the cotton. Poisoning with calcium arsenate has reached the stage where results are almost a uertainty, and the thinking farmer w : ll plan to take care of his crop this year. On Wednesday, June 6th, the Mc- Coimick Cream Station bought 543 pounds of butterfat, paying ferty cunts per pound for same. This is one of the highest days on record, and all indicatiens noint to the fact that the volume will steadily increase through the summer. The location, of the cream station has been moved from the county agent’s office to the rear of Pipkin’s Diug Store. This arrangement gives much more ro<?m, and also running water. All cream will be received there from now on. THE EARNERS BANK The program for meeting of Third Division of Edgefield W. M.

XXX When sheep bunch up on a warm summer day with their heads togeth er and their noses near the ground, they probably are trying to avoid a species of fly which annoys them by depositing its larvae on the edges of their nostrils, these maggots lat er moving to the head sinuses. Dur ing dry weather these actions of the sheep result in stirring up consid erable dust, which, if it is around old buildings and sheds, consists principally of manure and contains various organisms that may produce in Ration i n the respiratory of the sheep. Although sheep are not es pecially susceptible to many of the infectious diseases of animals, they are quite susceptible to local infec tions. Undoubtedly a large amount of the. respiratory troubles common in sheep are due to this irritation by dust, and losses from this source can be adovided by providing plenty of shade on clean ground without| too much dust. If old corrals and sheds are used, they should be kept The fifth co-operative carlot ship ment of poultry for this season was made from McCormick County on June 6 and *7. The car was stopped at Mt. Carmel on June 6, and at Mc Cormick on June 7, and 9,519 pounds of live poultry -was loaded at these two stops. The net receipts to the farmers of the cc’unty fi^om the sale was $2,128.54. The car was sold to Risser and Rabinowitz of Philadel phia, and was handled by Mr. V. G. Doty, representative of this com pany. This is the fifth co-operative ship ment made from the county since February. The cars have been run once a month, and have furnished a steady market for surplus poultry. The total number of pounds loaded in these shipments is 40,482, for which the McCormick County ship per-; have received in cash $8,623.89. In addition to this, the qounty agent has shipped poultry byr express to the value of around $1,000. The carlot sale of poultry is a well established institution in McCor mack County, and all producers are well pleased with the steady, satis factory market thus afforded, and the prices received. i It is probable that one more cai* of poultry will be shipped around the first of July. All persons who will have poultry to ship at that date me asked to please get in touch with the county agent i n order that he inaj* know what tonnage to make ar rangements for. Among the dangerous crossings to be avoided is crossing the bridge be fore you come to it. X- There are tricks in every trade, but it is not the tricks that win out in the long run. as clean as possible. Bedding the shaded places for sheep with clean straw is a cheap, effective way of keeping the dust down. Plenty of shade will help to avoid crowding. The use of pine tar smeared on the ndstrils of sheep during the fly sea son is said to be of value in pre venting the flies from depositing their maggots on the edge of the nostrils of sheep. This can be ap plied by hand or by using a plank with 2-inch augur holes contaimng salt and with the pine tar around the edges of the holes, or a V-shapud trough containing salt and with the pine tar smeared in a line above the salt where it will adhere to the noses as the sheep lick the salt.
