It amounts to a hidden form of starvation—a feeling that we are well-fed when actually we have merely satisfied the hungry feel ing in our stomachs but have not satisfied the hidden hungers of our bones, our bloodstream, our brains and our muscles. Professor Russell M. Wilder of the Mayo foundation, who is one of our nation’s leading authorities on nutrition, says that more than one-third of the families in Amer ica are buying food which cannot provide a diet rating better than Florence, May 31.—Root lice are responsible for much more injury to seedling cotton in the spring than is generally realized, accord ing to C. F. Rainwater, assistant entomologist at the Pee Dee Ex periment Station, whose investiga tions are being made in coopera tion with the Bureau of Entomol ogy and Plant Quarantine of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. As a result of Rainwater’s studies the Bureau Jias issued mimeo graphed Circmar E 533 entitled Cotton Root Aphids and Their Control, which ihay be had from the Pee Dee Experiment Station, or from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. This circular briefly describes the three kinds of root aphids or lice that damage cotton. It also shows photographs of the type of injury they cause and how their presence on cotton roots may be determined. The root lice are dependent on ants for placing them on the roots of cotton, the circular explains. The ants move them from the roots of one plant to another through tunnels which they con struct under the ground. In re turn, the root lice give off a sweetish substance called “honey- dew” of which the ants are very fond. It is this fondness of the ants for sweets which led to the discovery of a control for the aphids. If the ants are killed, the aphids have no way of getting from the roots of weeds on which they pass the winter to the young cotton. An effective sweetened bait for •controlling the ants can be made by mixing 1 pound of sugar, 1 quart of syrup. 1-2 pound of tarter “poor” and not more than one family in four obtains food which can provide a diet rating of “good.” NUTRITION standards The present plan is to put us all on a “nutritional gold standard”— to give us a clear outline of food values and the amount of each type of food needed for “health plus.” If the plan is carried out we can expect to be the healthiest group of individuals on the face of the earth. We have sufficient food to supply the dietary needs of every one in the country so that the whole job is one of education on what to eat and a plan for mak ing sure those foods are available to all of us. To put the program over, one of the first things many of us have to learn is what vitamins, calories, proteins, etc., are all about. Unless we can buy our meals in capsule form at the drug store, in stead of in the present form at the grocery and meat stores, it’s not going to help the housewife much to know that a moderately active husband, weighing 154 pounds, should have each day: 3.C00 calories, 70 grams of pro emetic in a gallon of water and | teins 0 8 grams of calcium, 12 bringing to a slow boil while stir- 1 ms Qf lron 5 000 InternaMonal ring occasionally.

These ingre dients will make enough bait to treat an acre of cotton and cost about 35 cents. Small handfuls of bait are placed about 10 feet apart on every third row of cotton. Best results are obtained by baiting just as the cotton begins to come up. The bait should be applied shortly after a rain on a warm, sunny day when the ants are active.

S. Department of Agri- ciiHnre. Messrs. Floyd F. Bondy and C. F. Rainwater, Department entomolo gists at the Pee Dee Experiment Station, working in cooperation cube (containing 5 per cent rotenone). The derris or cube should be purchased from a reliable dealer . on a guaranteed per centage of rotenone basis. If it contains more, or less, than 5 per cent rotenone, the quality used should be regulated so that the final mixture contains 1-2 per cent rotenone. The mixture should be dusted on the cotton in the late evening or early morning when the air is calm and the plants moist with dew, at the rate of 10 to 12 pounds per acre per application, commencing when a noticeable number of the squares are being punctured by the boll weevil. Ap plications should be continued at 5-day intervals until punctured squares are hard to find or until the majority of the bolls are ma ture. If an application is washed off by rain within 24 hours, it should be repeated at once.

Sale Of Timber Pays Farm’s Original Cost Clemson, June 9.—From central South Carolina comes a story that rings with a happier note than many arising from the South’s perplexed agriculture. It is told by C. R. Ross, assistant extension forester at Clemson. An elderly widowed lady, who has carried on alone and capably the management of a large farm, sold the timber from the farm this year, the 230 acres of pine and swamp hardwoods bringing $8,000. “The income from this timber”, said the owner, “is sufficient to have paid for the whole farm when my husband bought it. Nor is it the first time this has hap pened. We sold a portion of the timber years ago, and the income from that sale would have paid for the farm.” Needless to say, this owner be longs to the growing number of South Carolina farmers who real ize that good stands of timber can build up large values over a period of years. Naturally, she took precautions that this last cutting would leave a good grow ing stock of trees. Also, some years ago she planted around 25,000 pine seedlings. The Clemson forester says that such true stories of timber paying for the farm are often heard throughout the state and that timber growing bids fair to be come in some areas the strongest part of the agricultural economy. Here are several reasons why: 1. Scarcer and higher labor may disrupt production of certain cash crops, but will have little effect on the timber crop. 2. With new uses developing for wood, and our cities and indus tries growing rapidly, surpluses of good timber appear unlikely for the South. Look at the pulpwood being taken now—a new develop ment in this state. 3. Good forestry, mostly fire protection and wise cutting, is less difficult in the South than else where and will pay greater re turns.
