An interesting program of speakers is being worked up and will be ready by that time. A memorial service will be held for those who have passed away since the last reunion. An effort will also be made to raise money to erect a monument to their forefathers who settled and built up this section of the State. Cotton Flea Hopper And Boll Weevil Cotton flea hopper damage has shown up in cotton fields through out the county. In seme fields the damage is heavy. The hopper stings the young cotton squares, causing them to fall to the ground, leaving the stalk without any fruit. Sev eral farmers have stated that the hopper will help control the boll weevil by destroying the young squares. There may be some truth in this saying. However, the length of time for the hopper to do dajn- age to the cotton is largely deter mined by favorable weather con ditions. This damage added to that of the boll weevil causes serious thought for the making of this cotton crop. No definite means of fighting the hoppers on cotton has been found yet. From the stage of development of the young weevil in the squares at this time it will be about 10 days to 2 weeks before the first genera tion of weevils appear in numbers. In some fields the weevils that came out of hibernation have died and only the damaged squares on the cotton are left. Weather con ditions within the next two weeks will largely determine the number of weevils hatched from this gen eration. The practice of picking up and destroying punctured squares now should certainly pay. R. D. Suber, County Agent. McCormick, S. C. -TXf-- Card Of Thanks We desire to express our appre ciation for the many acts of kind ness shown us, the words of sym pathy spoken, and floral tributes which helped to comfort our hearts during the illness and at the death of our devoted wife and mother.

Clemson, June 28.—The cottor boll weevil situation is still serious though hot dry weather in manj sections is having its effect, ac cording to reports from county farm agents for the week ending June 26. On 31 unpoisoned farms an aver age of 16 per cent of the square: was punctured. These counts were mainly from the lower Piedmont uid the Coastal Plains section. On 31 adjacent farms which re ceived from one to three applica tions of the 1-1-1 mixture, agents report an average square infesta tion of five per cent. “It is there fore apparent that early poisoning has been worthwhile this year”, says W. C. Nettles, extension en tomologist. “Reports received indicate that a few farmers who did not poison early have reconditioned dusting machines and plan to fight the weevil in thi§ manner. Doubtless these farmers know that on certain soils calcium arsenate, if used in sufficient quantity to kill weevils the will eventually injure soil condi- Wednesday tions, and under no circumstances night for an appendicitis opera- should they exceed the minimum tion. Bussey is doing nicely and dosage of from four to six pounds hopes to be out and around again of calcium arsenate per acre”, Mr. within a short time. Nettles advises.

G. Cushman, extension dairy specialist of Clemson College, and Miss Myra Reagan, extension nu tritionist of Winthrop College, is based on recent Census reports hat on 66,358 farms in South Car olina no cows are being milked and the acknowledged fact that an countless other South Carolina arms there is an inadequate sup ply of milk for the farm family Towards a better knowledge of he value of dairy products in the amily diet and an increased use >f these products Mr. Cushman and Miss Reagan have prepared and ;he Extension Service has pub .ished Bulletin 100, The Use o J . ■Jilk and Its Products on the Farm The publication discusses, with ample illustrations, the production, preparation, and the use of milk and milk products for home con sumption, an important section be ing that giving about 75 recipes ir vhich milk and milk products are jsed.

Immediately after enlist- nent these young men will be sent o the U. S. Naval Training Sta tion, Norfolk, Va., where they will eceive twelve weeks instruction in Naval Life and routine, before be ing assigned to one of the ships of the U. S. Fleet for duty. W. A. Shriver, chief electrician’s mate, U. S. Navy, recruiter in charge of the U. S. Navy Recruit- ng Station, U. S. Court House Building, Columbia, S. C., has an nounced that applications for en- istment in the U. S. Navy are be ing accepted every week day be- Wallace Urg es 4-H Clubs Strive For General Welfare In the opening session of the Eleventh National 4-H Club Camp in V/ashington, D. C., June 17, Secre tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal lace told the 166 young people gath ered there from 42 states that the most important problem before the country is how to attain an effi cient democracy. He said that in an efficient democracy there must be action and not just talk, and the action must be for the general wel fare and not for farmers of any one group alone. In the second decade of the na tional camp the Secretary felt that more attention would be given to the national problems of agricul ture and the place of agriculture in the national problems. He told the young people present that it is their generation, now 16, 17, and 18 years of age, who would perhaps be able to accomplish what he and other leaders are striving toward, and that it is fitting they should consider now what constitutes an efficient democracy and how it can be realized. He said many of them have achieved much in their 4-H club work individually, and that, al though individualism is necessary and there is no substitute for it, it is not enough and they must go further. He feels that in the life time of the young people attending the camp individual achievement will become less important as they gain a vision of each working for the general welfare of all. X Protect, Feed Hens To Get Summer Eggs Clemson, June 26.—The comfort of the hens is the first thing to consider in the production of sum mer eggs, says P. H. Gooding, ex tension poultryman, advising that properly ventilated houses, shade, fresh water, and freedom from lice and mites will contribute more to the hen’s comfort than anything > else. Ample ventilation should be pro vided on hen houses and the ven tilators on both front and rear should be kept open. Mites can be controlled by thoroughly cleaning all woodwork, nests, and fixtures, and by spraying at intervals with a mixture of crank case oil and kerosene or with some good coal lar disinfectant. Lice can be con trolled by dusting the hens with sodium flouride or by painting the tops of the roosts with Black Leaf 10 just before the hens go to roost, repeating the treatment in about 10 days. “Ample feed of the right kind is the next thing of importance in the production of summer eggs”, Mr. Gooding states. “The hens should have free access to mash all day and all the grain they will eat in the late afternoon. They should eat more mash than grain during the summer; in fact, by the time the hot weather comes in July the hens should be eating about twice as many pounds of mash as grain. During the extreme 'rot weather a moist mash feed at noon will help to increase mash consumption. “Plenty of fresh water is very es sential to a high egg yield. Water is the cheapest feed on the average farm and yet one of the most im portant.” Pointing out that feed prices are high, Mr. Gooding advises care in the planning of feed crops and in the purchase of concentrates to balance the ration. “Good succulent green feed will help to maintain egg production, and in the absence of a permanent crop to supply suitable green feed, soybeans, cow- peas, or Sudan grass will furnish vween the hours of 9:00 a. m. and, ^ ^ ^ 4:30 p. m., excepting Saturday an abundance of good green feed when the hours are from 9:00 a. during the summer and early fall m. to 1:00 p. m. ' months”, he states.
