Spotty Increases Slightly Clemson College, July 23.—Con siderable variation in weevil dam age even in adjoining counties throughout the state is shown in reports of boll weevil activity made by county agents for the week end ing July 21. No particular section of the st^te now appears to be re ceiving greater damage than any other. . However, it is significant to note that average infestations of 10 per cent or slightly more have been re ported in almost 50 per cent of the counties. Furthermore, maximum infestations as high as 40 per cent were reported from several coun ties. Even in the lower Piedmont sec tion, results of the early sweetened poisoning are now becoming ap parent, says W. C. Nettles, exten sion entomologist, commenting on the reports. One agent reports that the infestation varies from practi cally nothing in fields that have been poisoned to as high as 40 per cent in fields that have not been poisoned. Observations made in the upper Piedmont section indi cate considerable variation between poisoned and unpoisoned fields, but the difference is not yet so great as in the lower Piedmont where cotton and weevils have'progressed farther. Growers are advised to watch their fields closely and dust with calcium arsenate when the number of infested squares exceeds 10 per cent. It is again advised that the maximum dosage of six pounds per acre per application be not exceed ed since certain of the lighter soils in the state are susceptible to ar senical injury. luck on making words from “Sat urday Afternoon.” Just at this time, unannounced, two young ladies came carrying a huge box. A cloud was making up rapidly so the party retreated into the spacious parlor where the bride unwrapped each package. Delicious ice cream with pound cake was served. The afternoon was all too short in this hospitable home that is one of th£ old land marks, formerly the James Talbert homestead. Something like fifty guests enjoyed this hospitality, from three communities, White Town, Rehoboth and Plum Branch The gifts were numerous and useful as well as beautiful. The pretty young bride’s face showed love and appreciation as she smilingly thanked the crowd for the gifts and invited each one to come see them. One gift they much appreciate was a set of water glasses from the in valid grandmother, Mrs. Carrie Freeland, who has long passed the four score and ten years patiently waiting in her chair by the window. Mr. Ed Reynolds, who has recent ly undergone an operation, is get ting on nicely. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Coleman of Edgefield were calling in this sec tion and at Plum Branch Saturday. Rev. J. D.
