This is called "topping." As uniform maturity is desired, it is well to allow a large portion of the seed-buds to form, perhaps now and then allowing one to bloom, before commencing to pinch them out. Experience is the only teacher in this case, says R. E. Currin in Extension Bulletin 43, Tobacco Culture in South Carolina. Taking everything into consideration, it is advisable to top "too high" rather than "too low." In other words, it is best to leave too many leaves on the plant to mature than too few. On ordinary land, with ordinary fertilization, from twelve to sixteen leaves may be left. On rich- ; er or more highly fertilized land, j j more leaves should be left to mature. I After topping has commenced, it ( j should be continued until all of the i ' plants are topped; and. as the aim 1 of topping is to get the tobacco to J mature uniformly, the small, yellow t Jmd tall plants should be topped J lower tlran the early and more vig- ^ orous ones. < j As soon as topping is begun, 1 "suckers" will form in the axils of t the leaves. These suckers must not z be allowed to develop, and must be < pulled off a s fast as they get large > enough, or else the tobacco plants i will be retarded in their full davel- c opment of leaves. It is surprising l how fast these suckers will grow. I ? Generally from two to three suckers > will have to be removed from the r axil of each. Keep them off. j c The Horn Worm c Reports from tobacco growers indi- i cate considerable trouble this season j from horn worms. The following t suggestions for control of these pests ? is made by Mr. Currin: '( When the worms make their first appearance, the tobacco is usually small and they are easily poisoned, or if not too numerous may be picked off by hand. The arsenical sprays or powders are the best means for controlling these pests. Without this a control measure very little tobacco ? f could be raised in South Carolina. Before the use of poisons became ? general, fields of tobacco were entire- * ly destroyed by these worms. Arsenate of lead either as a spray . or in powdered form is considered the best poison to use. Paris green is apt to burn the leaves if applied E too heavily in the dry form. Arsenate v of lead in the powdered form adheres - ? Koftor> tkan Paris IU UIC iCO? VO W?W4 M?tM> ? green in the same form. Usually, one pound of either of these in dry a form is sufficient for one acre. If used in the form of a spray, one pound to 40 or 50 gallons of water e may be used, if care is taken to keep * the solution well agitated. Spraying e apparatus and diy powder guns are ? for sale in al* tobacco growing sections. Use the control methods as often as necessary. Special pains F must be taken to destroy the first crop of worms, as by so doing much 5 trouble may be avoided in controlling the second crop of worms. If the tobacco matures as it should, however, 0 most of it will be harvested before 0 the second crop of worms appears. C 0 Furman Quartet Tomorrow Night. s The Furman Quartet, an organization which has gained a wide reputa- ( tion in concerts given in all parts of South Carolina over a period of more than two years, will appear in Kings- 1 tree at he High School Auditorium c Friday evening at 8:30. The pro- j gram, which is full of variety and f "pep", promises to be one of the most > pleasing of its kind heard here in z me time. Melodies, solos, both vo- I cal and instrumental, reading and im- c personations of the highest order are v to be found on the program. James McCraty, the violinist and . .vtocal soloist, is an accomplished musician who will feature the pro- f gram with his selections. Rarely to | be found is the combination of youth- j ful artists that the Furman Quartet presents. It is hoped that a large ci*owd will be on hand to welcome the young men | in their appearance here Friday. The j quartet comes here from Manning \ where a concert is to be given Thurs- I day evening. o Farmer Boys and Girls Can Marry Very few classes of people can indulge in the luxury of geting married these days with as little hesitation as can the farmer lass and lad. The high cost of living has scared I s Ae nro wnman said. Is CUC flCY illuii* 4 40 vuv ?? V. ? , ? "The high cost of living for one 2 makes the high cost of laving for 5 two out of the question." To show how splendidly these mar- ? riage troubles pass over the heads of 5 the farmer boy wanting to take unto 5 himself a wife, consider those ar- 2 tides the cost af which have in- 3 creased the most: Clothing 100 per cent, food 90 per cent, fuel, light and heat 51 per cent and shelter 28 per cent We do not have to be dressed up all the time as does the clerk or teacher in town, so a few store dothes can last a long time. The price of overalls would not break anyone surely. As to food, there is nothing we have to buy but sugar, coffee, tea, occastional fruit, flour or cereal and g a few sundries. Fuel means effort 3 but not expense, while even a very ? poor youth can. buy such kerosene as 5 the young man starting out is likely fi to need. \ Sundries have increased 63 per j cent, and sundries include furniture 3 and lamps. These are high. Most I girls in love are willing to get little t expensive furniture for a few years f if the bridegroom shows a disposition | to provide comforts and such conven- | . iences as he can contrive.?The Pro- g |gressive Farmer. / ^ Rural Carrier Examination ] The United States Civil Service ] Commission has anounced an examnation for the County of Williams- : >urg, to be held at Morrisville and < Cane, July 10, 1920, to fill the posi;ion of rural carier at Greelyville, 1 iingstree, Hemingway and Morris- i *ille, and vacancies that may occur j >n rural routes from other post of- ] .'ices in this county.
