C. Nettles, ex tension entomologist. Surveys in the upper Piedmont section indicate that weevils are present and in some fields are in considerable numbers. With fa vorable weevil-breeding conditions, the specialist warns that no one should gamble but should poison as soon as weather conditions and grass permit. Farmers are again reminded that the first application of the 1-1-1 poison mixture should be made before squares are large enough to puncture and should be followed by at least two more ap plications at five-day intervals. More early poisoning is being done than at any time in recent years because the present farm 'program encourages efficient pro duction and fanners desire to in- sure against serious weevil loss on I the restricted acreage.

Ouzts Reunion At McKendree Church Thursday, July 2c The Ouzts Reunion will be held at McKendree Church Thursday July 28. All appointed to solicit funds towards the erection of a suitable monument to the memory of Diedrich Utz and his son Peter Ouzts, from whom we are all de scended, are urged to send the funds collected, so that we can combine this with $140.00 already in the bank, in order that we can see how much additional amount will be necessary to erect a monu ment to the above mentioned, of whom we can be justly proud. The greater part of this amount was raised at the last reunion, which indicates that something can be done in regard to this monument if we are willing and if we desire to erect it. We are informed that several lines have already raised their quota and urge those of you who have to forward same to the treasurer, D. A. G. Ouzts, Green wood, South Carolina, immediately. The writer has been informed that the Ouzts family is the first family in South Carolina to have a family organization, proposing to erect a public monument to their ancestors, something of which each of us should be justly proud. A committee will be appointed to approve and buy the monu ment at the next reunion, and we trust that every relative will be able to point with pride and say he had a part in erecting same. An interesting program consisting of talks and special music is being planned and we are looking for ward to the best reunion in the history of the Ouzts family asso ciation. Come one! Come all! And en joy a day among your kindred. D. A. G. Ouzts, Pres. & Treas. Mobley Williams, Sec. Greenwood, S.

All avail able equipment on the college campus has been placed at the Editor of McCormick Messeng#? Several weeks ago my family had a note of thanks to the people in McCormick and McCormick County for their kindness to u% in our recent bereavement. course at that time I joined my family in the note they wrote. Since I have had so many kind acts done for me personally, so many telegrams and letters from people in New York, New Jersey, Washington, D. C., and various other places where the Messenger is taken, I feel now that it is necessary to write an other note. I sincerely hope that these old McCormick boys and girls will read this issue of the paper because some of the tele grams had no addresses. I certainly want them to know that I appre ciate their kind words more than I could ever tell them. Now to the people of McCormick and McCormick County, I wish to say that I know you are the best people in the world. My father often made the remark to me that you were very kind. At that time I just didn’t think so much aboW> it, but since his death you have most certainly proven it to me. So to the hundreds of people that I have known all my life, and who have befriended me recently. I just want to say, I thank you. Most sincerely, Martha Bell.
