' NOW TO EXTERMINATE
THE FALL ARMY WORM
SAID TO BE NOW INVADING
CROPS IN SEVERAL SECTIONS
OF THIS COUNTY.
Several days ago we wrote to'

J uemson v-ojiegc, u? v iaiv*? v
I mology, for information on the I
I army worm or caterpillar that is
i causing the farmers in several seci
tions of the county considerable uneasiness
just now, also for measures
to be used against this devastating
! v
I ^n reply to *our request we are
I furnished with the following, which,
I we feel sure, will be of much value
to the farmers, especially those who
are already in immediate danger of
attack by the worm:
There is in this State and several
? other Southern States, an invasion
of the fall army worm on corn, grass j
Mhd cotton. This caterpillar is i
about 1 to U inches long when
grown. It is quite different irom
the cotton caterpillar, although
many farmers mistake the one for
other. This insect which is now in
this State is not the cotton caterf
pillar which did so much injury to 1
cotton last summer, but is the fall
!
army worm which is sometimes
B called the grass worm. The fall
W amy worm is usually present in i
I such small numbers that they do no!
' harm to the crops, but on the other
hand, eat the grass in the fields. It
is only when thig insect gets abundant
that it does harm by eating
grass, corn, peas and cotton. The |
weather conditions this summer have
been unusually favorable for its de-1
velopment. Most farmers who have
seen the work of this insect realize
that immediate action is necessary
for the control of the pest.

not handled by such dealers. The
arsenate of lead can be secured from
such wholesale dealers and most all

in This State.
In the campaign for State offices
now raging (the word is used advisedly)
in South Carolina, it is not
so much the character of the present
Governor that is on trial as the
qualifications of the electorate for
self-government that are under test.

Without taking for granted that
the latest batch of charges against
Blease are true, including as they
do every species of graft and corruption
to which a public official
could descend, * * * there is
amply enough in the open record of
Blease's administration, in his public
speeches and official utterances and
acts, to prove him utterly unfit to
occupy a representative position in
any community of intelligent and
self-respecting citizens. Coarse, vulgar,
and demagogue that he is, the
part that he plays must be based on
the bejief thai he appeals most
strongly to a strong element of the
political constituency on wmcn nis
fate depends. That this calculation
is not without basis in fact is evidenced
by the size of the audiences
which greet him in \arious counties
of the State and by the applause

AMOUNT OF POISON Tp USE.
For cotton three feet hiph use
ho fnilnu-ina amounts of whichever
poison is used. The amount varies
according to whether the cotton is
smaller or larger than three feet
high, and in case of corn and other
plants vary accordingly:
Arsenate of Lead?4 to 5 lbs per
acre. No danger of burning.
Paris-green?2 to 2 1-2 lbs per
acre. On large plantations where
quick work is imperative, the Parisgreen
should not be used in quantities
materially exceeding the dose
given above as there is danger of

ARMY WORM IN BARNWELL.
Ilscovery of Pest Near Black
Vllie Alarms rui.
?
Barnwell, July 22:?The farmers
?f Barnwell county are vary much
corried over the appearance of the
irmy \form in fields near Blackville.
^ report that reached here yesterlay
says that in a field of corn,
vhere they have been at work, the
'fodder" has been eaten from the
talks and the grass cleaned out.
"he shucks have not been attacked
et. Steps are being taken to eradiate
the pest and to prevent its
preading to other fields.
The situation is this county would
>e considered extremely grave
hould the army worm get beyond
ontrol. The farmers are facing:
ard tines as it is, for the very un-1
easonable weather has caused the
rops to be very backward. At best
he corn crop will be short, and
hould the army worm get in the
elds to any great extent, many
len will be ruined.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO
ROAD BUILDING
INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS MADE
POSSIBLE MANY MILES OF
EXTRA ROAD BUILDING.
Editor County Record:
I am glad to report that a number
of our citizens have responded
freely to help solve our road-building
problem by supplementing the
funds for same in order to help
bring about a long-felt and needful
change of operation from that of
road patching to road building.
It is regretted that space does not!

to be given in this article, there be1

were rendered?some in timbers, j

digging stumps,cash,etc, all of which j
directly shows, instead ot telling,
what benefits are derived from good f
roads through our county, especially t
thoroughfare routes, which we are j
trying hard to build, regardless of t
whomsoever's door it leads past,thus
connecting our farmers with home
markets.

standpoint in road improvement,and
it is simply up to us to protect our
interest. Twelve dollars per mile .

distributed according to the law
under which I came into office,there- t
fore I am re?oiced at obtaining from
our last Legislature a law based r
upon better business judgment?a *

co-operation from her citizens as 1
above referred to?yes, a law that r
does not require so many little jobs f

same' done under a scale of fees and 1
C
values that pays everybody an equal
price for the same work, thus 1
doing away with the former rule of c
C
having to pay the other fellow's
price for these jobs. For Instance, j
if a man cuts a ditch for the county
he gets one-third of a cent per cubic
foot and so on.

Other supplements have been ofered
that I could not accept at this
ime, same being for roads of less
mportance which I could not build
intil the main roads are completed.
Some citizens are wont tc criticise
his plan, but if they will consider
>ur past practice of trying to build
ill of the roads at one time, I beieve
there would be a unanimous
tonsent in favor of this change and
i proportion of patience would exist
n its stead.
Now, one other thought, please?
here is also a benefit derived from
lelping to have more money per
nile with which to build roads and
ihould not be lost sight of in weighng
this matter, for every road that
? thoroughly constructed will not
leed costly maintenance. Thus we
ret a portion of this amount passed
:o help to construct other routes
ind so on, until mathematically we
ee at a glance that the important
jart of any method of road-building
lepends upon making a healthy
;tart, and I believe the snpplement
ibove indicates that this has already
x?gun in our county. The tax probem
for roads is so intricate and the
solution so slow that we cannot af?ord
to delay this beginning, notwithstanding
criticisms, Bleaseism
>r Jonesism. Very respectfully
