Instructions for packaging and storing the dehydrated products are also included. 0*bcr important features of the publication are a condensed tabi r of directions for drying varic” fruits and vegetables, and detail ed plans and bills of materials for making sun driers, combination sun and stove driers, and the e- lectric dehydrator.

Properly used, it will not injure the ears, leaves no flavor on the kernels, m no way damages the corn for food, and will completely protect 75 to 90 per cent of all ears. Use an ordinary glass medicine dropper that holds about 20 drops when half full. This amount is enough for a small ear. For a large ear, fill the dropper about three-fourths full. Larger a- meunts may reach the kernel* and cause injury. Insert th" medicine dropper about a quarter of an inch into the silk mass lust inside the tip of the husk The oil ouickly penetrates the silk mass, kills ifrorms feeding there an^ or events the entry of others. Since not all of the silks fria-* ture at the same time, it may be n^essary to make more than one trip through the corn patch Treated ears may be marked with a eravon or strip of cloth. Do not apply the oil until the silks are wilted, or until the tips begin to turn brown. If applied too soon, the oil interferes with pollination, but if application is ciPlavid more than 7 days after *11kihg, the earworms may start feeding on th° kernels and can not be reached with the oil. X A meeting sponsored by Clem son College was held at Green wood, June 27, 1944, for the pur pose of promoting “General In stock and Pastures” in the Lower Piedmont Area of South Carolina. The program consisted of a “farm tour” of many of the out standing farmers of Greewmd County who have already includ ed general livestock and pasture work in their farm set-up. Those attending saw all types of hay crops growing, checked pasture progress and seeding practices, and saw how different types ot livestock fit in the general farm ing of this area. After the luncheon in thp Lan der College dining hall, we heard panel discussions on “Adaptability of Livestock to this Area”, “Live stock feeds and feeding”, “Means of Educating Farmers” and “Fi nance and Markets of this Pro gram”. A barbecue was given in the park just to the rear of the col lege, handled by the college offi cials. During the day such celebrities as D. W. Watkins, Director of Ex tension, A. H. Ward, District Ex tension Agent, Dr. R. F. Poole, President of Clemson College, J. B. Sloan, president County Bank, L. V. Starkey, C. C. Peebles, J. P. LaMaster, P. H. Gooding, A. jl. DuRant, W. A.
