Chapin CLEMSON, May 27.—Since re ports indicate that some cotton in the Coastal Plains section of South Carolina is nearing the fruiting stage, farmers desirous of using 1-1-1 mixture are advised by W. C. Nettles, extension entomologist, to make immediate preparations thus to control the boll weevil. The first application of the 1-1-1 mixture should be made as soon as squares are as large as cowpeas and before the squares are large enough to be punctured by the weevils, the entomologist reminds. Additional applications should be made at in tervals of five to seven days. Three -to five applications are generally all that can be applied before the cotton becomes too large to protect with a liquid poison. The 1-1-1 mixture consists of one pound of calcium arsenate, one gal lon of water, and one gallon of molasses. The 1-1-1 mixture should always be applied fresh as the mo lasses tends to break down the cal cium arsenate after several days and causes burning. Farmers of the Coastal Plains section are reminded that weekly reports from county agents on wee vil activity showed that 1934 was a season of slight weevil infestation and that the weevil was less se vere than might be expected during the average year. Piedmont county agents reported that 1934 was one of the most se vere years on record regarding wee vil damage and that farmers who practiced poison control were loud in its praise.

Chevrolet, New Body Building Methods '■ ■ • New methods and new machines, co-ordinated in newly laid-out svstems of conveyors and assembly lines, are combined in the build ing of Fisher automobile bodies at Chevrolet’s ten car assembly plants throughout the United States, to p-oduce solid steel turret-top bod ies of the Master De Luxe models. | The six steel sections of che bodies, including the turret tops, | are shipped from the Fisher fabri- I eating plants. The bodies are as sembled and built, and the up- , bolstering is cut and fitted, at the , Chevrolet-Fisher plants. * The body building process has been materially changed to adapt I it to th6 use of steel roof panels. I Of especial interest are the elec- mind of the driver. Here again the body engineer has aided by pro viding adjustable front seats, which make it easy to load the baggage, and by eliminating the fore-and- aft hump in the floor of the ton neau. Some travelers remove from the tonneau floor the folding foot rest, so that the rail and its mount ings will not interfere with load ing. With either two or three pass engers in a sedan, it is best to place suit cases on the floor of the rear compartment close to the left door. Preferably they should lie flat, with the heaviest pieces at the bottom. Whether they lie flat or stand up, a neat trick that saves lots of trouble is to move the adjustable front seat all the way forward while loading, to gain the advan tage of several inches extra leeway. When the bags have been placed, press the front seat backward trical welders, by which the sections ;cf the body are joined. Welds five gainst the bags, which thus will to six feet long are made rapidly ^ rm ^5 r clamped against the rear and accurately.

Expert travelers adhere to a few simple rules that take most of the tribulations out of baggage han dling on a motor trip. First, they insist that the luggage be loaded in exactly the same way every time it is placed in the car, each piece al ways in its regular place. In packing their bags and suit eases, they place the things they might need during the day in the bags that are easiest to get at. The high est development of this system, j strongly recommended by experi-1 enced long-distance tourists, is to ] pack in a single bag everything i that v/ill be needed during the one- ; night stops en route to the destina- ! tion; then all the other bags may i cene Stratton-Porter’s world be left locked in the car.
