j Hessian Fly Hints

There is no known remedy for
the Hessian fly once it infests
wheat, but losses from this .pest
are largely preventable, says the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Plow under infested stubble soon J have found, Mr. Jeffords continues,

For Two Purposes
CLEMSON COLLEGE, July 18.—
Farmers who know their clovers
know that there is an early variety
and a late variety, each best suit
ed to certain purposes and uses,
fortunately in only a few cities.
Suggesting methods of controll
ing ants, Mr. Lutken continues:
“Food supplies should be kept in
metal containers or refrigerators^
and the floors and shelves kept
free of crumbs and scraps. Sodium
.fluoride dusted along their paths,
especially where they enter the
house, is effective. The colonies
can be destroyed by pouring into
the nests small quantities of gaso
line, kerosene, or carbon disulphide
and covering with noist earth.
“For poisoned bait, the most ef-
says S. L. Jeffords, extension ag
ronomist reminding us that this is fective method of controlling ants,
the season for planting burr clover, a formula, prepared especially for
Many South Carolina farmers the Argentine ant, is also very ef
fective against most native species:
“Mix one pound of granulated
sugar, 10.3 grains of tartaric acid
(crystallized), and 14.6 grains of
, wheat on wheat stubble. Plow land > late burr clover, from which they benzoate of soda in one pint of wa-
as early and thoroughly as condit
ions permit and prepare a well-
pulverized and compacted seed-
,bed. Conserve moisture against a
period of drought at seeding time.
Use good seed and sow it in the
fly-free period. Your county ag
ricultural agent or State experi
ment station knows when this is.
Fertilize the crop. Success de
fends in part on community co
operation, because, ine infested
field may furnish eij[gfugh flies to
damage wheat lit n#«rby fields. .
secure seed to spread the early
clover over their cultivated fields
and the late clover over
permanent pastures.
Mr. Jeffords suggests that those
farmers who do not have seed
patches, locate now sufficient seed
to establish seed patches during
July or early August. Ten bushels
or 100 pounds of seed will be suffi
cient to establish an acre of either
variety. The late clover matures
about May 15 to June 1, and the
early clover 30 ; t0 40'days earlier.
ter and boil slowly 30 minutes and
cool. Dissolve 26 grains of sodium
their! arsenite (C. P.) in 1.8 fluid ounces
of hot water, and cool. Add the
poisoned solution to the syrup and
stir well. Finally add 2 1-3 ounces
of honey and mix thoroughly. Use
necessary precautions during mix
ing and handling to prevent pois
oning of children and domestic
animals. Expose the poison on.
small pieces of sponge or on pieces
of waxed paper, in places frequent
ed by the ants.”
