Brushing' the Teeth
In 1777, one year after the out
break of the American Revolution,
the social revolution of brushing
teeth was introduced in France. It
was introduced at the court of Ver
sailles by an English doctor. It met
numerous enemies. Some diners
kept their teeth healthy by picking
up a chop joint and gnawing away
at the bone.
Old Morro Castle
Morro Castle, standing like a sen
tinel at the sea gate to the city of
Havana, is more than 300 years old.
It has been battered in many fights,
its most notable resistance being
against Albermarle’s fleet in 1762,
when the British were held off for
a month.

Strange Indian Name

unusual name of an Indian maid, so
called because when a litGe girl she

Destroy Stalks Early
To Kill Boll Weevils
Clcmson, Aug. 28.—Only a very
small percentage of the cotton boll
weevils deprived of food by Oc
tober 1 will live to damage cotton
the following season, states W. C.(
Nettles, extension entomologist,
asserting that early destruction of
cctton stalks is an effective way
to reduce the number of weevils
going into hibernation.
Information regarding county
wide campaigns for the destruc
tion of cotton stalks has been re
quested, and reports from farmers
through county agents indicate
that with the heavy infestation of
weevils in the coastal section of
the state farmers are anxious to
destroy stalks as soon as they
finish picking cotton.
To be really effective stalk de
struction must be early, and this
early destruction does not involve
an extra operation, for stalks will
be destroyed during the winter
anyway; so, Mr. Nettles asks, why
not early?
“Early stalk destruction tends to
reduce weevil populations in two
ways”, he explains. “First, further
breeding after the crop is picked
and before frost comes is prevent
ed by drying out of weevil-infested
squares and bolls. Second, feeding
by adult weevils is prevented, many
of them dying before going into
hibernation and others going into
the winter on an empty stomach
and having reduced chances of
survival. In the coastal section of
the state, with cotton maturing
earlier than usual and with heavy
weevil infestation, early stalk de
struction appears to * be a very
practical means of reducing weevil
numbers.”

Preparing For Winter
Family Cow Feeding
Clemson, Aug. 28.—Pasture grass
es, grazing crops, and bright green-
cured hays are the natural feeds
for dairy cows, and these supplied
in abundance make smaller
amounts of grain feed necessary,
says C. G. Cushman, urging owners
of family cows as well as dairy
farmers to begin preparation for
satisfactory winter feeding.
“The basis of winter feeding is
an ample amount of bright, green-
cured legume hay”, Cushman
states. “The amount of vitamin
content of the milk is definitely In
fluenced by ‘green color’ in feeds
fed the cow. So we see that the
right kind of feed is important for
the cow.
“Pasture grasses and green-cured
legume hays carry an abundance of
green color. In addition, the legume
hays are high in mineral matter,
which is also important in the
proper feeding of dairy cattle.
Grass hays, cottonseed hulls, or le
gume hays that have been over
cured and are brown or straw-col
ored, are not desirable roughages.
“Small grain crops make excel
lent grazing for the family cow
during the winter months when
the condition of the soil will per
mit grazing. These crops are fun
damental to good farming as
sources of all kinds of livestock
feed and in crop rotations. Graz
ing by the family cow will not in
jure the crop. This wintertime
grazing maintains the vitamin
content of the milk, is healthful
for the cow, and produces a rich
golden color in the milk and but
ter made from it.”

Flashes From Afield
Caught From Recent Reports Of
Carolina County Farm Agents

Salt mines near Hallstadt, Aus
tria, were worked in the Stone age.
Angoras
More wool may he obtained from
an Angora rabbit over a period of
months by combing rather then
shearing.
Camp Modoc News
Camp Modoc, Aug. 28.—The Proj
ect Superintendents, Company
Commanders, and Educational Ad
visors meeting was held at Camp
Star Fort, Greenwood, S. C., on Au
gust 25. Project Superintenden
Reece, Company Commander Bush,
and Educational Advisor James at
tended the meeting.
If present plans materialize, the
camp buildings will soon be paint
ed, adding to the attractiveness of
the camp area.
All of the work projects have
been very seriously handicapped
this week due to heavy rainfall.
Mr. Archer Smith, of the Colum
bia office, reports that the game
management around the Key
Bridge Tower has quite an abun
dance of quail and other wild liie.
Several coveys of these birds have
been seen by work crews upon
passing through this area. The site
selected for the game sanctuary
has every possibility for becoming
one of the best reserves in the S.
C. & Croatan National Forests.
Mr. John H. Bennett and T. A.
McFarland are now at Camp F-ll
doing w r ork in connection with the
farm survey of McCormick County.
The tractor demonstration held
on the McAdams’ farm in the Level
Land section was attended by over
300 farmers, showing great inter
est in this method of cultivating
crops.—Z. D. Robertson, Abbeville.
More summer legumes have been
planted than ever before. Though
proud of a yield well above the
state average, farmers are adopt
ing the slogan: “To make the good
land better”.—H. A. Woodle, Aiken.
The corn crop is the best in a
number of years. Farmers expect
to make enough for home use and
many will have a good surplus to
market through hogs and cattle.—
W. H. Pressly, Allendale.
We have been able so far to keep
all three terracing outfits going all
summer, and I believe we will have
sufficient idle land to operate un
til crops are gathered.—E. P. Josey,
Anderson.
Producers show much more in
terest toward beef and hog produc
tion now than at any time during
the past eight years, with consid
erable thought toward better bred
animals.—W. H. Craven, -Bamberg.
The 24 Irish potato enterprise
records forwarded to Clemson show
a production cost of about $100 an
acre and only one producer has
failed to show a small profit.—T. H.
Seabrook, Beaufort.
The unusually large tomato crop
has been harvested and for most
growers satisfactory yields and
prices were secured. The spring of
1938 will find a much larger acre
age of this crop.—C. W. Carraway,
Charleston.
The Chester County Guernsey
Cattle Club has definitely decided
to hold its second annual sale Nov.
2. We will have 35 females and five
bulls consigned to the sale.—M. C.
Crain, Chester.
Producers are very enthusiastic
over their cotton crop where it
was preceded by Austrian winter
peas, and as a result more winter
kgumes will be planted in thh
county this fall.—W. J. Tiller,
Chesterfied.
Our farmers are realizing the
economic value of turning their
! :gs on corn that has just past
the mutton stage. Soybeans plant
ed for hog-grazing is another prac
tice that is being followed by many
^rmers.—J. W. Talbert, assistant,
e larendon.
We have the best corn prospects
ve have had in a number of years.
Corn is hogs, and with a bumper
crop of corn hogs will be increased.
—J. M. Napier, Darlington.
During July 90 hogs were mar
keted bringing total sales of hogs
for the year to 2,966 weighing 591,-
530 pounds netting $54,317.54. More
hogs are on feed than ever before.
—G. C. Meares, Dorchester.
