Austin Shelley today made the statement that McCormick farmers will find it profitable to pick up and destroy all fallen cotton squares during the first three weeks of blooming. The agent further states that all farmers who have used 1-1-1 liquid poison and those who have not used it will find it helpful to go a little further in the matter of controlling the boll weevil. A county-wide campaign of fallen- square destruction could be ex pected to delay migration of the weevils for a week. It is believed by a number of close observing farmers that a week’s delay of migration will in crease the yield of lint cotton per acre by 10 to 15 per cent.

R. Hawkins, live stock specialist of the Clemson College Extension Service. The stunted pigs are often worm-in fested and will not gain weight despite the feed consumed. Several years ago the U. S. Bureau of Animal Industry an nounced a sanitation method that controls kidney worms of swine. This same method, they announce, also is effective in the control of two other common parasites of swine in the South—the red and spirurid stomach worms. Sanitary measures consist es sentially in preventing young pigs from becoming worm-infested while they are with the sows. Vegetation is kept cleared from a strip of the hog pasture about five feet wide along the fence and from a wider area—about 30 feet —around the feeders and houses. The worm eggs, voided mostly in these unshaded areas, are killed by direct sunlight. A study, conducted by the Bu reau of Animal Industry at Moul trie, Ga., showed that of a group raised without attention to sani tation, only six per cent were free of stomach worms. Only slight infestations were found on farms where complete sanitation recom mendations were followed, more than 27 per cent of this group being entirely free of infestation. Partial sanitation gave much less effective control, as only 8.4 per cent remained free of infestation. ‘‘There are ways of treating pigs for certain kinds of worms, but the sanitation system is cheaper and the pigs make more efficient gains”, Mr. Hawkins de clares. ‘‘Kidney worms and lung worms cannot be reached by any known medical treatment.”
