Use 1-1-1 mixture And the boll weevil Ceases to be a fixture. 2. Hill of corn and hill of beans Will make a farmer of means. 3. Do not let your grain x Lie long in the rain. Horticulture Secure seed of the Lookout Mountain potatoes for planting iii July, and prepare soil early to con serve moisture. Locate celery plants now and or der for delivery in late July or early August. Cultivate shallow but frequently to save moisture. Apply quickly available nitrogen to garden crops if not growing well. Mulch tomato plants heavily with straw or leaves to hold mois ture and prolong fruiting season. Pack fruits and vegetables in the right kind of attractive package and get better prices. Plant Diseases Spray apple trees with Bordeaux to save fruit from bitter rot. yse Bordeaux on melons, cucum bers, and cantaloupes, to check an- thracnose, downy mildew, and angular leaf spot. Spray tomatoes weekly with a 4-4-50 Bordeaux for leaf spot. Keep the garden free of weeds and grass as one way of fighting diseases. Dust roses wife sulphur or spray with Bordeaux to prevent mildew. Don’t cultivate bean plants or pick the pods, when wet; it may spread anthracnose. Agrciultural Engineering Remove and store binder canvas after grain harvest, and grease the knotter with cup grease. Keep the two-horse cultivator going. Use sharp sweeps proper ly adjusted. Get the boll weevil duster in good working condition. Keep the mower in good # shape for cutting weeds and hay. Entomology Spray apples to control aphids, caterpillars, etc. Prevent worminess of peaches by sprays for curculio. Dust with calcium arsenate and lime for leaf-feeding insects. Control plant lice «aphids) by spraying dr Washing with soap- solution. Pick the harlequin bug or terra pin bug from cabbage and tela ted plants. Use early squash to catch the picklke-worm and thus give the cantaloupes the chance to be free of worms. Animal Husbandry Turn hogs on soybeans when the crop* has made 50 to 75 per cent of its growth. In the absence of soy beans, alfalfa may be used to good advantage. Treat weaning pigs for worms and for cholera. Locate rams and have them on hand by July 1. . Treat all infested flocks for stomach worms. Wean lambs by June 15. Dairying For proper growth give weaned heifers under 12 to 14 months old two pounds of grain per day in ad dition to pasture. Destroy breeding places for flies and use the formaldehyde poison formula. Should pastures get dry this month through lack of rain, feed more in the barn. Mow pastures if they get rank and weed growth heavy. See that cows get plenty of clean fresh drinking water and have ac cess to salt. Poultry Cull the non-producing hens. Treat for lice and mites. Select and separate cockerels for next year’s breeders. Increase the grain for the pul lets. to avoid too early sexual ma turity. Watch for worms in growing stock. tXt Cracking, breaking, and rotting of shoe uppers is often hastened by perspiration. Furthermore, shoes continually soaked with perspiration are neither comfort able nor hygienic. It is both more economical and more comfortable in hot weather to have two pairs of shoes for alternate daily wear, thus giving each pair a chance to dry out between wearings.

National Is , 50 Million Bank — CHARLESTON, May 31.—Anoth er institution has been added to A. the South Carolina National Bank corporation, in the purchase of the First National Bank, of El- loree, it was announced today, by Robert S. Small, president of the corporation. The first National Bank of El- loree was one of several in which Robert Lide and his associates were interested. The offer made the shareholders is equivalent tb approximately $138 and $100 par value, it was announced. A recent acquisition by the cor poration was the purchase of the Edisto National Bank of Orange burg, this being a second institu tion in which Mr. Lide and those associated with him have been in terested. As a result of the affiliation, the South Carolina National bank group will have a capital of more than $5,500,000 and resources ex ceeding $50,000,000. tXt Boll Weevils Seen In Many Fields COUNTY AGENT URGES EARLY AND CONTINUOUS POISONING Boll weevils are already present in many fields of older cotton in McCormick County, according to Thos. W. Morgan, county agent, who urges all farmers to make early and regular applications of the 1-1-1 poison to control the pest. McCormick County farmers have learned that they can control a normal infestation of the boll wee vil yrith the 1-1-1 mixture, and in dications are that almost 100 per cent of the farmers of the county will use this poison this year. Mr. Morgan ' advises that the first application of the poison be applied to the little cotton plants as soon as the first small squares are seen, and before they are the size of peas. The second applica tion should follow the first within three or four days, and the third application should be applied nbi more than a week later than the second. Counts on the farms of T. J. Sib ert and Floyd Cothran of McCor mick last year showed that the first application of the 1-1-i :.nix* jure reduced the average uumbei of weevils from over 300 to les. han 20 oer acre. Mix the poison using one oounc calcium arsenate dust, one gallon water, and one gallon molasses Care should be taken not co ni: more than can be used on the da} it is mixed, as the mixture wii sour and burn the cotton plant if left overnight. Do not experi ment with other mixtures, du stick to the 1-1-1 until something else is found to be better. A Butter from pasteurized sweet cream keeps better than buttei made from raw, sour cream. Cream may be pasteurized easily by put ting the cream in shotgun cans or pails, placing them in a wash boiler or other container, and heating. Stir the cream occasion ally while heating and keep it at a temperature of from 145 degrees to 158 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 or 30 minutes. Cool it as quickly as possible to 50 degrees Fahrenhei or lower and keep it at that tem perature for at least three hou** before churning. This helps to make the butter granules firmer. Chum in the same way as with raw, sour cream. Governor May Reappoint 5 Members Of Highway Group TERMS OF HEARON, HAMRICK, MOORER, McKAY AND STEV ENS ARE ENDED COLUMBIA, May 31.—The terms 'f five members of the State Highway commission have expir ed and it is up to Governor Rich ards to appoint their successors. This the governor will probably do at an early date, but there is talk in Columbia now to the effect that he may reappoint all five members whose terms expire. At least the governor is not in a hurry about the appointments, for under the law as long as he does not make new appointments, the men in of fice hold. It is said to be the feeling on. the part of the governor that he had better “leave well enough alone.’’ A change in the personnel might result in harm for the high way program, whereas the pres^ ent members of the commission are all committed to the program and are familiar with its details, and its requirements. The commis sion is working harmoniously and the state is being well served by the present personnel. It is said that those reasons may cause the governor to reappoint all five commissioners whose terms have expired. i There was talk some months ago to the effect that the governor would make some changes in the commission. It is also known that certain presentations were made to the governor in behalf of other men in the state who were sug gested as good material for the commission. It was said that the governor had give*i these sugges* tions serious consideration, but the reports regarding the matter now are that the governor’s attitude has changed, and that in the in terest of the highway program as he sees it. At the same time the governor has made no announcements. « The five members whose terms have expired are C. P. Moorer, of Harleyville, J. W. McKay, of Dil lon, W. P. Hamrick of Columbia, John T. Stevens, of Kershaw and C. O. Hearon of Spartanburg.
