Camp Bradley News
Camp Bradley, May 21.—Visitors
on the Long Cane during the past
'week included Messrs. Shanklin,
Vernon, Miller, Bailey, Patton,
and Supervisor H. M. Sears.
Camp Bradley softball team and
Camp Star Fort team played at
Bradley Friday afternoon. Camp
Bradley turned back the visitors
by a score of 11-10.
Clerk Harold Bussey and Truck
Driver Covington were business
visitors in Columbia Saturday
morning.
Camp Bradley baseball team
will go to Newberry Saturday
afternoon where they will play
Mollohon Mill team.
The camp is very proud of the
new educational building that is
now being constructed under the
supervision of Captain Day and
Educational Advisor Baker.
Forest fires are being held to a
minimum during the hot, dry
weather, thanks to the coopera
tion of the citizens of surround
ing communities with the CCC
and Forest Service men.
Mr. Marvin E. Nixon left camp
Thursday morning for his home
in Bowdon, Georgia, where he will
spend a few days with relatives
and friends.
Frog shooting is beginning to be
quite a fad with the Using Service
personnel—“Pete” Cantelou han
dles the firearms, Charlie
Chamberlain the light, and Jake
Ray carries the sack. These men
slaughtered 50 frogs and quite a
lew snakes two nights the past
week. Still we don’t understand
why its necessary for Jake to get
barefooted when he goes to Abbe
ville, he is certainly not looking
for frogs there.

says he likes Greenwood during
the week but the “Capital City”
calls to him on the weekend.

Clemson, May 23.—Now that
cotton will soon be ready for
early poisoning to control the
weevil, those farmers who desire
to poison the weevil early are ad
vised by W. C. Nettles, extension
entomologist, to make prepara
tions to secure the ingredients
needed.
For each acre of cotton planted,
three pounds of calcium arsenate
and three gallons of molasses is
sufficient, says the entomologist,
who will give further instructions
at timely intervals during the
season as to the use of these ma
terials to control weevil activity.

- ■ • »
From The State, Columbia, May

with a delightful family reunion.
Mr. Caudle’s children, grandchil
dren and great-grandchildren,
with a few close friends, gathered
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. L.
Caudle, 2529 Cypress street, for
the happy occasion.
Just before noon the entire
party motored to Twin Lakes,
where a picnic dinner was spread.
“Dad Caudle,” as he is affection
ately known, was greeted on that
day with many birthday wishes
and he received many lovely and
useful gifts.
The following children of the
honor guest and their families
were present at the celebration:
Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Caudle and
family of Columbia, Mr. and Mrs.
J. L. Caudle and family of McCor
mick, Mr. and Mrs. V. E. Caudle

Rotenone Is Improved
Bean Beetle Control
Fanners who have used derris
for the control of the bean beetle
during the last year or two re
port stocking and satisfactory re
sults with either spray or dust.
This is to be expected, says Coun
ty Agent R. D. Suber, for research
workers of the South Carolina Ex
periment Station and of the Fed
eral Government indicate that
derris is the most satisfactory
material available at present for
the control of the bean beetle.
The agent warns growers that
two types of derris might be used
Where derris or cube is used con
taining four per cent rotenone,
one and one-half pounds of the
powder is required as a spray to
50 gallons of water; for three gal
lons of spray, one and one-half
ounces or 10 level tablespoonfuls
of the powder. In making up
sprays, do not use the mixed dusts
containing one half to one per
cent of rotenone which are in
tended for dusting- and contain
other materials.
Seed and drug stores through
out the state are beginning to
stock and handle these dusts,
which generally are not known as
otenone or derris dust, but as
oonpoisonous dusts. It is, there
fore, necessary for the buyer to
.mpress fully on the seller what
s desired.
Applications of these dusts
ihould be begun when beetles are
ound in the field. If the beetles
xre very numerous the treatment
hould be repeated at intervals of
even to 10 days. As a rule two to
ohree applications are sufficient
on snap beans. More complete
information may be found in U.
S. D. A. Farmers’ Bulletin 1624,
The Mexican Bean Beetle in the
East and Its Control.
