Agt., McCormick Co. -X— Gardeners Should ■ * Watch For Insects And Diseases COUNTY AGENT SAYS MOST PREVALENT INSECT RIGHT NOW IS MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE Gardeners should be on the look out for vegetable, insects and dis eases. One of the most prevalent right now is the Mexican Bean Beetle. Magnesium Arsenate is the safest and most effective pois on for this insect. “When used as a spray, magnes ium arsenate should be applied when the foliage is dry, at the rate of one pound to 50 gallons of water; for smaller quantities one ounce, or five level tabiespoonftils, to three gallons of water.” “Dust when the foliage is damp, and the air calm, using one pound of magnesium ar senate and three pounds of hy drated lime. Since the larvae and adults feed on the lower surfaces of the leaves, the nozzle should be held near the ground and the spray or dust directed upward. “If magnesium arsenate is not obtainable, calcium arsenate nixed with eight times its weight of hy drated lime can be used, but there is danger of burning the foliage with this arsenical. Spray tomatoes and melons with Bordeaux mixture to control fungus diseases. Arsenate of lead may be added to the Bordeaux (1 lb. to 5 gallon spray) to control leaf eating insects. E. L.

The central committee of the Baptist denomination of South Carolina, set up especially to pro mote the South-wide campaign for $300,000 to meet emergency needs of the Home and Foreign Mission Boards of the Southern Baptist Convention, has set aside Wednes day, June 15, for prayer services in all the Baptist churches of the state.

Every Baptist church is CLEMSON COLLEGE, June G.— “The use of money and credit by farmers has become of such gen eral importance that good manage ment is required as much for farm finance as for farm production. In fact, there is often greater need of care in borrowing and spending than in the handling of the land and farm property which Remain much the same from year to year,” says Ward C. Jensen, agricultural economist of the South Carolina Experiment Station, »n announcing a new station publication, Bulletin 282, Agricultural Finance in South Carolina. The new bulletin, prepared joint ly by Mr. Jensen and David L. Wickens, agricultural economist in the Division of Agricultural Fin^ ance, U. S. Department of Agri culture, is based upon thorough surveys of typical areas in South Carolina and discusses in consider able detail such matters as the amount and purpose of credit, the *DSt of short-term credit, security and risk of short-term credit, cred it institutions, factors influencing the amount of credit used, and pos sibilities of improving credit prac tices. Adequate credit or the lack of it, Mr. Jensen points out, may mean success or failure of the farmer’s crop, and its misuse may result in burdensome debt which is slow and difficult to repay. Farmers, he believes, should give more thought and careful attention to the man agement of their finances. The new publication, which may be had free from the Division of Publica tions, Clemson College, S. C., is a worthwhile addition to information on this important subject. tXt *: Teachers Home From Their School Work Candidates in the U. S.
