October Beautifi cation Letter October is here and a good month for work; its brisk days carry a zest not known to other months. The season ends with a rush and there are many tasks. Our finest consideration this month is lawn planting. A careful ly made lawn, properly cared for should last a century and improve with age. The land on which the lawn is made should be well drain ed. If the land does not drain nat urally, it must be drained by tiles or otherwise. The soil should be made free from weeds and unappreciable growths; broadcasted thickly with well decayed barnyard manure, then broken deeply to well incor porate the fertilizer with the soil. porus to the depth of a foot or more, removing carefully all! stones and rubbish. After getting the soil ready, plant Charleston Grass or Carpet Rye Seed using one pound to every 200 square feet of surface. In about six weeks you will have an expanse of verdant lawn of which you will be proud, and which will remain until the following May or June, according to locality. By this time the perpetual lawn grass seed which was planted in the preceed- ing October will have full sway. Some have an idea that shade trees do not admit a lawn. This is a mistake. Fescue Heterophylla can be used in the shade of trees per- xectly, where no other grasses will grow. Close planting results in a chick turf. Sow the seed only when there is no breeze, very early in the morning or late in the after noon. When the sowing is done by hand, start at one end of the iawn, scattering the seed evenly from one end to the other, holding the hand low, going over the en tire area in this manner. Then go jver the lawn a second time, from one side to the other in an* op posite direction from the first to insure a perfect distribution of seed. Immediately after sowing, cover the seed by raking lightly vith a stool rake and then roll the surface with a roller. Rolling several times during the season will keep the lawn smooth and the soil compact about the roots. Lawns must be fed and cared for. Do not apply fertilizer too lib- ..uuy. judgment should be used .n not overooing the matter. A fine iawn is an asset to any home or estate. With proper care it will lasc for generations.

The spencer is the most choice variety. The plants grow rive and six feet tall in rich soil. Method of Planting Select a location where the plants may have support, as a trellis or wire fence. Dig a ditch 12 inches wide and 18 inches deep. Fill this naif full of well decomposed barn yard manure, moisten this well, iover it with 3 inches of good soil, .ree from sticks and pebbles. Sow the seed on this bed and cover with good soil to the depth of 4 inches, press it firmly and then cover with a loose dust mulch. When the vines are 12 inches high draw in some more soil around their bases. Water well and con tinue to draw in more soil at in tervals as the vines grow until the surface of the soil is within 2 inches of the top edge of the ditch. This distance from the edge leaves a depression for holding moisture. Cut the flowers freely and do not allow seed pods to form on any vines except those chosen for seed saving. Bulbs and Perennials Continue planting these. Prac tically all kinds of lillies may be planted in ordinarily drained soil. The wise gardener plants lily bulbs in October and November, 6 inches deep. Tulips must be set from 4 to 6 inches deep, and 4 inches apart. Peonies To plant peonies more than 3 inches deep is to run the risk of getting all stalks in May and not a bloom. The soil must be well drained for peonies, and also very rich. The best fertilizer to use for them is old, well decomposed manure and ground bone. Never allow them to grow in the place two years in succession. 1 xi Camp Modoc News Camp Modoc, Oct. 23.—Tire of ficial fire season for the Long Cane Ranger District opened Saturday, October 16. As yet we have had no fires and only two false alarms in the lower pcrlion of the District. May the good news continue. Lowell West is now manning the Key Bridge Lookout Tower and Mr. Rufus Doolittle is new at Hie Wood- lawn Tower. Considerable time is being spent in locating permanent .mokes such as sawmills and dwell- forest fires during the coming sea son. Thirty-eight new enroliees have arrived during the past week bring- ng the company’s strength up to 129. More enroliees are expected luring the coming few weeks, these additions bringing the strength up o approximately 200 men. ^ The grounds cf Camp F-ll are being landscaped and planted to grass and the buildings are oeing Gained green.

Clemson, Oct. 18.—That the ap plication of only nitrogen to peach trees is an improper fertilizer prac tice has been definitely indicated in carefully conducted orchard fer tilizer demonstrations during the past three years, says E. H. Rawl, extension horticulturist. On the basis of these demonstra tions Mr. Rawl recommends that until the reserve plant food nu trients in the soil have been built up the following fall application of fertilizer should be given bearing and non-bearing trees: 300 pounds of 16 per cent acid phosphate per acre 100 pounds of 50 per cent muriate of potash per acre “These amounts of materials should be mixed and applied broadcast (from tree to tree in all directions) and disced or plowed thoroughly into the soil in the fall before the planting of Austrian peas or rye cover crops”, he advises. “Peach orchard soils that are ioo acid for optimum growth of cover crops and peach trees, should oe given the necessary amounts of dolomitic limestone or basic slag.” Spring fertilization, Mr. Rawl states, should consist of potash and nitrogen to be applied in late February or early March. x Authorities Urge Farmers To Plow Under Boll Weevils The boll weevil is getting ready to bed down for the winter and naturally the greater number of them will hibernate right in the unopehed cotton bolls and in the cotton stalks. The agricultural au thorities of South Carolina are ad- vising farmers to destroy the cot ton stalks by discing or by double tripping each row with a stalk cutter. This brings the stalks : n Close contact to the ground, de prives the weevil of his winter quarters and also destroys vast numbers of them. This practice re turns the stalks to the soil so that by spring they offer no problem in disposal and do not interfere with planting operations, in ad dition the fertilizing values of the stalks are incorporated in the soil and help enrich it. The U. S. Bureau of Entomology as well as the S. C. Extension Ser vice urges this method as being of great value in controlling the boll weevil. . The practice of •burning the woods for many years to get rid jf wintering boll weevils did not rid us of this pest inasmuch as the woods contain many forms of wild dfe, which consume large quanti ses of weevils, hence the burning of woods tends to increase the wee- nl damage in nearby fields, state rorestry officials explained. xx Indians Used Camouflage Most people associate the art of camouflage with the World war. But Maine historical records show that the art was practiced by the St. Francis Indians prior to the Ameri* can Revolution. with FARES so low and FALL so beautiful STROM’S DRUG STORE, Phone 95 McCORMICK, S.
