Florence, June 30. — A state wide survey made the' week end ing June 23 reveals a critical hoP weevil situation in practically a 1 ! parts of the state. Federal ento mologists working out from th 0 Pee Dee Experiment Station un der the direction of F. F. Bond v covered a* of the state’s 46 coun ties, finding weevils in potential! serious numbers in alt counties covered. Cotton in the Piedmont is gen erally in the presquare stage. A total of 10 600 plants examined on 106 farms in 18 Piedmont counties showed 152 weevils on 68 of the farms examined. This is an av erage of one boll weevil to each 70 plants on all 106 fa'itns, or one boll weevil to each 45 plants on the 68 infested farms. On a per acre basis, this means approximately 215 for all farms, or 325 for the infested farms. In either case, this is an extremely high average. Highest infestations were found in Saluda, McCormick, Chester field, Greenwood, and Newberry counties, with Abbeville, Green ville, Anderson, and Oconee fol lowing in close order. Square infestation records made in 208 farms in 28 counties show ed 206 of these farms infested with boll weevils. Clarendon and Colleton counties had infestations averaging 36.0 and 36.1 per cent, respectively. Calhoun, Sumter, Bamberg, Richland, Saluda, Mc Cormick, and Chesterfield all had infestations averaging between 20 and 30 per cent. Only Chester, Al lendale, Darlington, Marlboro, and Florence had infestations averag ing less than 10 per cent. The av erage for the entire state was 13.7 per cent. Last year at this time the state average was only 5.9 per cent.

CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS Associate Editor, Parents' Magazmo CHILD’S HAIR CARE IMPORTANT W E’VE made remarkable prog ress in the treatment of chil dren's hair. We were reminded of this when we attended a high school commencement recently and every one of the 250 girl graduates had lovely hair. Yet think back to your own school days. Two or three girls in a room of 20 or more would have wondrous locks which were the envy of all. Most of the oth ers had neat and clean, but not ex actly pretty hair. Then there were always a few with mussy, unkempt heads. Today you rarely see even a small child with unattractive hair. This is because mothers seek out the best and safest methods of caring for their children’s hair fropn the very beginning. Nor should we fail to mention the nu trition-conscious mothers who pro vide a diet-sufficiently rich in vita mins adtt, minerals to keep hair nourishedfrom the blood stream, its only source of food. For the first year of a baby's r life it seems natural to treat the scalp as part of the face, using the same mild soap and washing it daily. Use baby oil for scalp lubrication and gentle brushing with a soft brush for making hair look its prettiest. Brush up to encourage curling and as soon as the locks are long enough brush them over your finger several times a day. Many a weak curl has been saved from discouragement by Just such coaxing. After the hair growth becomes luxuriant and babyhood gives way to that little girl look, shampoos be* come weekly dates, though some specialists still hold out for less frequent washings. The main re quirement is to keep the scalp free of dirt and body impurities which find their way to the face and often contribute to the formation of pim ples. A good shampoo really begins the night before, or at least several hours prior to wetting the hair. After a thorough brushing to re move dust, rub a litte petroleum jelly or warm vegetable oil into the scalp to soften the cuticle and loos en the dirt. Then, just before the shampoo, brush again so there’ll be no snarls to pull and tangle. Whatever you use as a cleansing agent must be rinsed out entirely, for you don’t want the equivalent of the ring around the bathtub left in the hair. That time-honored test of running the hand over the wet hair to see if it squeaks, and if it does assuming that the rinsing is complete, applies only to the hair itself. The scalp can still be in sufficiently rinsed, with resulting flakiness. Running the fingers of one hand through the hair and hold ing it away from the head while you bring the spray close to the scalp is the best way to see that the head itself is freed of soap.

Davis, Director of Sales and Advertising. Mr. Davis indicated that the postwar line t of Ford, Mercury and Lincoln automobiles would be greatly expanded to provide mod els and body styles to cover every price field from the lowest to the finest in style and performance in the automotive industry. The meeting was highlighted Wednesday by a luncheon address from Mr. Henry Ford II. Mr. Ford spoke to the entire Ford supervis ory family of approximately 200 executives and department heads. Mr. Ford covered the trend of the aiiiomotive business for the past 10 years and projected in de tail the engineering, manufactur ing and distribution plans of the company that eventually will pro vide thousands of additional jobs. He outlined the company’s pro posed 150 million dollar expansion program, designed to step up Ford’s share in the automotive business. Emphasizing, however, that the company still has a war job to do. Mr. Ford explained that “many of our war contracts have already been terminated, and more of them will be soon, because we were principally engaged in man ufacturing material for the tlu- ropean Theater. “As our services become less and less necessary to the direct war effort, he said, “we will complete the shift from war work to mass assembly of automobiles just as rapidly as government restrictions are removed. “We will do everything in ^ur power to shorten the tran: i ion period, and to prevent a senous slump in employment which' * uld result from a prolonged postn ne- ment of passenger car produc.ion for civilian use.” X Take Care In Usin * Garden Insecticides FOR Radio. S. C. Clemson, June 30. — Us?* in secticides freely In the gr den, says W. C. Nettles, Clemson exten sion entomologist, but take extra precautions in handling and using them. To this end, the specialist offers the following suggestions: SALE — Crosley Electric The insecticides with which spe- T. D. Miner, Plum Branch, cial care should be taken in han- , idling are the arsenicals, calcium arsenate, lead arsenate, and paris green; fluorine compounds, such as sodium fuloride and cryolite; and nicotine compounds. When mixing or applying in secticides, keep the mouth and eyes and all parts of the body protected. Wash your hands* thoroughly after using the ingre dients. Have sodium fluoride or other houshold insecticides dis tinctly marked and keep them a- way from where food is stored. Keep them tightly closed, and preferably locked in some place well out of reach of children. Take special care to prevent do mestic animals and livestock from being poisoned through feeding on crop remnants that have been sprayed, or by licking containers, or drinking water which may have been contaminated. Burn empty bags which contain ed insecticide materials; aresnical containers must be burned in open air, with care to avoid exposure of persons or animals to fumes. Bury unused, discarded materials at least a foot below the surface and away from water supply or drain age. X Third Girl Chemist Sweet Potatoes Best When Planted Early, Southern Study Shows Clemson, June 30. — Any delay beyond the earliest practicable frost-free planting date resulted in marked decreases in yields of sweet potatoes. Late plantings al so lowered the starch and carotene contents of No. 1 sweet potatoes and resulted in longer and slen derer roots as compared with shorter and chunkier roots from early plantings. Close spacing re duced the size of the roots with out markedly affecting the shape, the starch content, or the total yields. Close spacing thus did not compensate for the reduced yields of late plantings; and the influence of time of planting on yields was far greater than that of spacing. These essential facts, and de tails regarding them, are pointed out in U. S. Department of Agri culture Circular 725, Regional Studies of Time of Planting and Hill Spacing of Sweet Potatoes, now available from the South Car olina Experiment Station at Clem son College. Copies of the circu lar may be had from the Publica tions Department. These studies on the second most important vegetable crop In the United States were made co operatively by the experiment sta tions of South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The purpose was to meet the need for Information throughout the Southern States about the influ ence of hill spacing and time of planting on yield, grade, shape, starch content, and carotene con- Li HOUSE \HOME S, MGtk Edythe W.

Make ration application by mail —save time and effort. xx For “guiding the plow” in these times brain is better than brawn. E VERY homemaker is facing the- challenge of living up to ration ing rules. To be sure it takes more planning, but a good Jo °d a h d . ® good health standard can be main tained if we conscientiously com bine rationed and non--ationecL foods. Each meal must contribute- its full share of nourishment for the day’s reeds. With this in mind, let’s con sider breakfast. Th» me. I should furnish about one-third of the day’s food needs. In these days of food ra*teeing. * right breakfast makes the plan ning of the rest of the meals easier because if ru adequate breakfast is eaten, foods which are among the “basic 7” so essential for the day’s nourish ment are included in the diet. The type of breakfast we eat iff largely a matter of habit and toe- many of us have fallen into the way of eating a light one, failing to- realize the importance of this meal th tt actually breaks our fast of 13 hours. The stomach has been with out food all this time and at the breakfast hour it needs refueling, so to speak. If any meal of the day is to be slighted, it’s far bet ter to neglect luncheon. A cup of coffee and a piece of toast is poor preparation for the morning’s work and it will handi cap us for the whole day. Before noon and lunch time we become unduly tired and empty—so hollow th'.t we don’t know we’re hungry. Or if we do feel the pangs of real hunger we eat too much for com fort and spend the afternoon strug gling with sleepiness. A breakfast of fruit or fruit juice, cereal with whole milk or cream, toast or rolls with butter or en riched margarine and a beverage supplies four of the seven basic food needs and if eggs are added another food group is in the pic ture. There’s such a variety of cereals available that monotony can easily be avoided. If cooked cereals are served measure both the water and the “meal” and be sure to add plenty of salt to the boiling water before stirring in the cereal. Pack aged cereals supply their own rec ipes which can be re-proportioned to fit any size family. It may take time and determina tion to break the light breakfast habit but it will be well worth the effort. The family may not be hun gry for. a good breakfast just at first but with perseverance each member will eat more heartily ev ery morning. With enough restfo! sleep in plenty of fresh air the av erage person will reach the break' fast table wide awake and alert The comfort of mind we homemak ers feel when we send our families out fortified-by a good breakfast u worth striving for.
