Modoc News Weather Checks Weevil CLEMSON, June 24.—Unfavor able weather conditions account for the decrease in weevil activity for the week ending June 22, according to reports from county agentz. Square infestations in excess of 13 per cent were reported from Bam berg, Dillon, Orangeburg, and New berry counties. An average of reported infesta tions indicates that for the state considerably less than 10 per cert of the squares were punctured. Sev eral agents report that square counts indicate favorable differ ences between early poisoned and unpoisoned fieldsj however, as yet these differences are generally net very great. “The reports to date show no cause for alarm for the state at large, but indicate that in some counties individual growers would profit by weevil control”, says W C. Nettles, extension entomologist In the upper Piedmont section farmers desirous of applying early poison are reminded that the time is drawing short when this work might be done. “Piqking up ami burning squares that drop early might also be prac ticed where ches^? labor is avail able; however, experimental data concerning the value of the prac tice are not available.” XXI Editor And Illustrator Examinations outs in the state.

Jennings, And Family. forth in Extension Circular “Looking Ahead in Dairying.” “No farmer who has cast his fu ture in some phase of dairy pro duction can afford to do less than use the best bull he can find”, as serts Mr. Cushman. “The whole success ol dairy farming rests in the ability of the eow to profitably turn feeds into milk and butter- fat.” Regarding the statement often made that better cows add to sur pluses, the dairyman maintains that in reality the reverse is true. If the farmer dispose# of the un profitable stock, he says, the re mainder would yield a profit and the total amount of marketable dairy products would be much less. Mr. Cushman suggests that each bull owner find if all the facts known about the bull now being used, either through his ancestral record or his own breeding record, indicate that he will improve the productive qualities of the herd. If not he should be replaced by a bull that will do so.
