The Cotton Boll-
/■ . -
Worm Is Doing
Some Damage
CLEMSON COLLEGE. Aug. 29.—
The cotton boll-worm which is doing
considerable damage this season
throughout the state, says M. H.
Brunson, extension entomologist, may
be effectively controlled by poison
ing.
Poisoning the cotton with calcium
arsenate dust as for the boll weevil
or in conjunction with the control of
the boll weevil is recommended by
Mr. Brunson. In areas where the
cotto n has been heavily infested, deep
plowing followed by discing during
the late fall anl winter “months to.
kill the h'bernating stages in the soil'
is a veiy important control measure^
Early planting of cotton is also ef
fective.

There has been a steady iacr .ase
in the number of prisoners entering

7— Yields, Uses and Prices of Hay:
Alfalfa can be cut from three .to five
times per year, and should yield one
ton per acre at each cutting. . The
hay is the most easily cuved of any
grown here now. All classes of live
stock, including poultry, hogs, co^ra,
and mules eat it with relish, aa£.
thrive upon alfalfa alone. Alfalfa
hay}, baled, always sells from $25.00’
to $30.00 per ton.
8— This May Interest You: I can
tell you how you can grow good al
falfa at a starting cost of not over
ten dollars per acre cash outlay. Let’s
get together and plant a small patch >
at least on your farm.
