C. xx 1200 Southern Boys Enlisted THIS NUMBER GO TO ARMY VACANCIES FOR 550 ARE OPEN. Major General George Van Horn Moseley, commanding the Fourth Corps Area, announced with a great deal of pleasure that the recent recruiting campaign for securing young southerners for service in the New England States, Hawaii, and Panama was highly success ful. Over 1203 southern boys re siding in the eight Southeastern States comprising the Fourth Corps Area were accepted for service in the Regular Army and are now en- route to their selected stations. The War Department has again called on General Moseley to se cure enlistments totaling 550, to fill vacancies in the Panama Canal Department. Young men between 18 and 35 years of age who are unmarried, without dependents, and who are found physically, mentally, and morally qualified are eligible for enlistment. Those between the ages of 18 and 21 must furnish the writ ten consent of their parents prior to acceptance. Those accepted must furnish two character ref- ereftces from reliable business men or reputable citizens of their com munity. The Army offers many oppor tunities for practical education and advancement for young men desiring to better themselves. Service in Panama Canal and Hawaiian Islands is particularly at tractive to the young man inter ested in outdoor sports and recre ation. The tropical climate affords an opportunity for participation in outdoor exercises the year round. Hunting, fishing, swimming and participation in all major sports form a part of the soldiers train ing in both countries. Full information may be obtain ed by applying in person at the Army Recruiting Station, Post Of- Says Cull And Sell The Non-Laying Hens Advising poultry producers to cull and dispose of the non-laying ^ens. County Agent R. D. Suber '’dvises that farmers spe-’alizing in poultry will find it profitable to cull throughout the year, but that the average farmer will find one or two cullings sufficient. Two cullings are better, the first to be made when summer egg pro duction begins to decline. In very poorly bred and fed flocks this drop may come as early as June, while in many of the better flocks it will not occur until September. The second culling can follow a month or six weeks after the first. As a guide in culling the county agent quotes P. H. Gooding, exten sion poultryman, on the distinc tion between layers and non-lay ers: “A warm, full red comb indicates heavy production while in this condition. When a hen stops lay ing, the comb tends to dry down and a whitish scurf usually forms. “The abdomen is enlarged in the layer; in the non-layer it is con tracted. The pelvic bones are us ually two to four finger widths apart in the layer, but almost closed together in the non-layer. " “When a hen stops laying she usually starts molting. The later a hen lays in the summer and fall the greater will be her past yearly egg production, so that the high producer is the late layer and late mclter^ The early molter is the ‘short-time’ or poor layer as most hens cannot grow feathers and lay at the same time. Contrary to gen eral belief, the early molter does not make the early winter layer.” xx Grow Vetch Despite Some Local Damage From Corn Ear Worm Clemson, Aug. 16. — Localized worm damage to corn and cotton adjacent to vetch plantings has brought inquiries regarding the ad visability of planting vetch, says W. C. Nettles, extension entomolo gist, who states that the worm do ing the damage is the corn ear worm, and that farmers need not fear ’subsequent damage if they follow certain precautions. “The corn ear worm, a general feeder and pest of many field and vegetable crops, passes the winter in the soil as a pupa and in the spring, probably during May, the moth emerges and lays eggs”, Net tles explains. “The eggs hatch into worms, the worms feed on vetch (and numerous other plants), but when the vetch matures, the in sects may crawl, army worm fash ion, to adjoining crops. “During the present season, nu merous farmers reported that it spread over an acre or two, eating the leaves of cotton and com. Successful control with arsenical poisons was reported this year even after it spread to cotton.” Since growing vetch as a winter cover crop is a valuable means of conserving and building soil fer tility, the specialist advises that farmers continue growing it, with the following precautions: Vetch should be turned under before the first of May in the mid dle section of the state or as soon as blooms or worms appear. If it is intended for feed it should also be cut by this time. Vetch growing on ditch banks and waste places should be destroyed. — x Large Acreage Now In Erosion Control FINAL SETTLEMENT STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, County of McCormick. In the Court of Probate.
