Either people are moving away from the cities or fewer are mov ing to them. Census figures so far compiled and reported show that the total increase in popula tion in more than 100 cities is less than 5 per cent in the past- ten years. The same cities grew nearly 25 per cent in population in the preceding ten year period. New York’s count this year showed -a 400,000 increase over 1930, but Chicago gained only 8,000 and Philadelphia actually lost 15,000 people. St. Louis and Pittsburgh also counted fewer heads. Detroit and Baltimore 'have gained population, but no where near so rapidly as before. There is little doubt that the cause of the decline of the big cities is due to the automobile and the better highways leading to the .smaller towns and suburbs. When the figures are all in we shall doubtless see a great increase in the size of the “satellite” commu nities within easy motoring dis tance of the bigger communities. Comparatively few peoole live in the large cities from choice; they are forced by necessity ,to live dose to their work. Those who can live in a suburb and motor to and from town do so. There are no complete figures of the*farm population as of 1940 yet available. It seems doubtful that they will shpw any great in crease. The tendency for many years has been the other way. But there is no indication, so far, of material decline in the strictly rural towns which depend largely upon the farming regions for their business. The automobile has greatly enlarged the trading area of such communities. They are the most substantial of all. Ameri can institutions. T. W. Morgan Returns To Extension Service Clemson, July 22.—After a year’s leave of absence for advanced study, Thos. W. Morgan has re turned to the Extension Service at Clemson as assistant director, ac cording to announcement by Di rector D. W. Watkins. Mr. Morgan spent the past year at the University of Wisconsin where he completed work for his master’s degree in agricultural economics with major work in land economics. His appointment to serve as assistant director was authorized at the spring meeting of the board of trustees to take effect upon his return. Mr. Morgan, who is a graduate of Clemson College, has had varied experience. He taught vo cational agriculture two years in Orangeburg, 1922 to 1924; was county agent in McCormick coun ty until 1931 when he was trans ferred to Aiken where he served as county agent for four years. He was then for several months acting district agent for the Aiken district in the absence of District Agent A. H. Ward. Since 1935 he has been assistant to the exten sion director with headquarters at Clemson. ment of the College and the Ex periment Station, and Dr. G. H. Wise and Dr. G. W. Anderson of the Experiment Station staff. Information about the program and about the arrangements for taking care of those who attend the conference can be obtained from county agents and agricul tural teachers. Lodging in the college dormitories will be free and meals will be at reasonable prices, it is stated. -tXt- Making Plans Ready I?or Dairy Conference Clemson, July 22.—A program for the dairy conference to be held at Clemson August 7-9 has been worked out on the theme of successful dairy farm manage ment, says C. G. Cushman, exten sion dairy specialist. This pro gram is being sent to county farm agents and teachers of agriculture who will make plans for interest ed groups of farmers to attend the conference. Besides the general program of discussions and demonstrations on feeding, management, and disease problems and on the status of the dairy industry in South Carolina, special provision has been made for a meeting of the South Caro lina Jersey Cattle Club Friday, August 9, and for a demonstration in classification of Jersey cattle and a judging contest that day. Cooperating with Mr. Cushman in planning and conducting the conference are Prof. J. P. La- Master, head of the Dairy Depart- Derris Or Cube Control For Harlequin Bugs A new control for harlequin bugs, which have long been pests of cabbage, collards, and turnips in the South, is suggested by County Agent D. Austin Shelley. This new control is derris or cube dust or spray which may be used effectively to protect these three foods so essential in a live-at- home program. Both the adult and immature stages of the harlequin bug are sucking and they cannot be poisoned with any of tho arseni- [cals, the county agent explains. Hence the value of the new remedy. For dusting he advises a mix ture containing at least three- fourths of one per cent rotenone. Since many South Carolina gar deners now have this material on hand for bean beetle control they will find it comparatively easy to give it a trial on the harlequin bug. The first application should be made when the first bugs ap pear and treatments repeated as frequently as necessary. A special caution which the county agent gives against the harlequin bug is that all host plants from which the crop has been harvested should now be de stroyed by turning under and as soon as an infestation is noted on the fall crop handpicking should be practiced. The same dust should prove ef fective, the agent states, against the cabbage webworm, which is frequently a fall pest of collards and turnips. BUYER MEETS CCI I CD IN CUR AD OLLLCiX COLUMNS....

It is a significant fact that more truck users choose Chevrolet than any other make of truck . . . because Chevrolet trucks could not have established their record of leadership in 1940 and maintained it for six out of the last eight years had it not been that Chevrolet trucks deliver more dollar-for-dollar value than any other make. All models and types of Chevrolet trucks may still be purchased at today’s low price levels, so it would be wise to consider replacing some of your trucking equipment with new Chevrolets now. mp** 8 TRUCK NAMES TRUCK WAIVE l»~ K OWN£ * 5 WANT FACTS...CHEVROLET GIVES Certified Proof! i O^n'rfZ run American* Aurr!m lT r '" , ' on of «»• ■« «oc k n cttr„T, b Vr C,atl0n ‘ turned in „ marveiU^rf" 'f Uck and economy record Thi , nce this test run-Jr rhe fac ts of an interesting C K ear .! yOUt,lned,n “Say.
