W. Long, director of the exten sion service, in addresses on vari ous agricultural problems at Thursday’s session of the South Carolina state Grange convention being held here. Mr. Hammond, pointing out the need of organization to help meet agricultural, economical, education al, and social problems in rural life, pictured the Grange with its 800,- 000 members as working success fully towards solving such prob lems. Mrs. Hammond told how homes and communities are made better through local organization committees of Granges. “The agricultural crisis of the past three years has had at least one beneficial result,” said Dr. Long in his address, “It has brought home to every business man in ev ery part of the nation a greater realization that agriculture furn ishes the basis and substance of American prosperity and that ev ery intelligent citizen must have a deep interest in its solution.” Urging adequate financing for the farmer as a means towards stabilizing the whole business machinery of the country, Dr. Long pointed out that this would be a vital factor in restoring and main taining the buying power of the ag ricultural population, in creating a larger market for the products of industry, in maintaining the vol ume of railroad traffic, in provding employment for thousands of work- CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sept. 5.— “That soybeans make the most valuable forage we have for hogs is indicated in reports of grazing and tion for buses of local high school fattening tests made by the South being put in order on Bay Street. Carolina Experiment Station in the interest of Southern livestock men and farmers who are concerned with the profitable use of forages in fitting hogs for market,” says Director H. W. Barre. When soybeans are grazed green, that is, beginning when the plants are 15 to 18 inches high and before they begin to fruit, the maximum value per acre is secured and the I Mr. J. Charles Talbert had a nar row escape last Friday morning, while en route from his home at Sandover to McCormick, when nis car turned over on a curve near the Taylor branch about four miles from mwn.

Tne tour way the average profit per hog has ^ar, which turned over been increased by about 70 per cent. Earlier results secured at the Clemson station haVe been verified during the past year at the Coast station in the eastern part of the state where growth conditions are quite different from those that ob tain in the Piedmont section. Mature soybeans may be grazed satisfactorily when supplemented with corn, but in such cases soft pork is produced and the resulting reduction in price is more than offset by the reduced cost of pro duction. 4X* What To Plant Now In The Fall Garden and lodged against some ! was not damaged badly. twice bushes, Hurt In Fall CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sept. 3.— There is yet time to make a fall garden, declares A. E. Schilletter, extension horticulturist, who for the practical guidance of gardeners suggests that those who have not already done so should plant cab bage, onions, kale, mustard, tur nips, spinach, lettuce, radishes, parsley, etc. Varieties of these vegetables that seem best in general for South Carolina are given below by Mr. Schilletter. Cabbage (plants)—Early Jersey Wakefield; cabbage (seed)—for frost-proof plants, Early Jersey Wakfeield, Succession, and Late Flat Dutch. Onions (sets or seed)—Yellow Globe Danvers, Prizetaker, White Pearl, Australian Brown. Sow seed September 20 to October 20. Kale—Siberian Curled. Mustard—Giant Southern Curl ed. Mr. J. B. Britt of the Bellvue sec tion was painfully injured on the right shoulder and received a face bruise early Sunday morning when he fell across a joist in his barn loft while attempting to reach a ladder. Examination showed no broken bones, and he is getting along nicely. txi Save The Cowpeas From Weevil Damage CLEMSON COLLEGE, Sept. 3.— Early harvesting and threshing, im mediate fumigation, and proper storage to save the cowpea crop from heavy weevil damage are recommended by Alfred Lutken, ex tension entomologist, who warns growers that if nothing is done to prevent the breeding of weevils after harvest the crop may be ruin ed before next seeding dme. “Soon after cowpeas are harvest ed and threshed, many of them will be found to contain small round holes frem which have emerged ad ult cowpea weevils,” Mr. Lutken ex plains. “The initial infestation oc curs in the field where the female weevils lay their eggs on or in the pods. The young larvae that hatch from these eggs gnaw their way in to the seeds, leaving a hole so small that it can scarcely be seen with the naked eye. Generation after generation will be completed within the containers, until the whole mass of dry cowpeas is re duced to useless hulls.” After early harvesting and Turnips—Japanese Foliage and ers, and in putting the whole coun- | seven Top salad only; Purple Top prompt fumigation, Mr. Lutken sug- try on the road to better business j an d white Egg for turnips conditions. Spinach—Aragon and Virginia “While conditions both national savoy, and international are distressing Lettuce—Big Boston, New York, and demoralizing,” Dr. Long con- j rn d Mignonette, eluded, “let us remember that in i Radishes—Scarlot Globe or Rapid terms of real wealth America is rich today, because wealth is not price—it is value. Wealth con sists of productive fields of diversi fied agriculture, of natural re sources, of efficient factories, of ef fective organization for distribution of goods, of transportation systems, and so on. We have seen the crumbling of the prices of these things, but remember we still have the things, and that is what counts.” Forcing; for winter use, China Rose and Long Black Spanish. Parsley—Moss Curled. txi Legislation is being prepared in Germany to impose a tax on bache lor girls. T gests storage in tight containers or in heavy, closely woven cotton sacks to prevent infestation of clean seed. Hydrated lime mixed with the seed at the rate of one pound to six or eight pounds of seed will prevent any further breed- ! ing of weevils, he says. At seed ing time the lime may be removed by shifting through a fine screen. Farmers’ Bulletin 1275, Weevils in Beans and Peas, contains detailed instructions for preventing damage to these important, crops. Copies Garden Work For September Mrs. Nell A Stallworth, home demonstration agent for McCor mick County, has received the fol- | lowing from Mr. A. E. Schilletter, | extension horticulturist, and Mrs. Dora Dee Waiker, production and conservation specialist Keep all the garden crops jrow.- ing. Don’t let them become stunt ed for lack of sufficient food. Nitrogen is the most needed food for the garden crops, and an. abundant and readily available supply should be on hand at all times. Nearly always the garden crops can be much benefited by an application of sulfate of ammonia or nitrate of soda. Scatter some three or five inches from the base of the plant, and cover with a shallow cultivation. It will usually pay well. Suggestions Gather the mature lima beans, every week and store them away for winter use. Vegetable seed left over from the spring planting may be used in the fall. Are you growing your own cab bage plants for early spring sett- ting? Seed should be sown the last of September or early October. Keep the strawberry bed free of weeds and grass, and select your best plants at this time. Trans plant a few rows during September- but do not risk the bulk of your planting before cooler weather. Parsnips, salsify, carrots,s.and fall beets can be wintered where grown and dug as needed. Later in the season when the weather is colder, a light furrow will be necessary, es pecially for the beets and carrots. Try the new Japanese Foliage turnip for salad greens and turnips. It is offered to the trade under a number of different variety names.. Hasting’s Seed Co., Atlanta, Ga., of fers it under the name Shogoin. .
