ADVISES FARMERS I ON KILLING WORMS Clemson College Tells How to Get Rid of the Army I Worm Pest r Clemson Collegs, July 12.?Infor1 raation Card No. 2, "The Army I Worm is the title of a brief timely I Dublication issued by the Entmology r '*" ? ' Division of the Extension Service of Clemson College to meet the need for the Army Worm outbreak. Specific instructions are given as follows: "For Army Worm on forage crops and grasses make and apply poison bran mixture as directed below: Bran, 50 pounds; Arsenate of lead or arsenate of lime or Paris green 1 pound; oranges or lemons, 6 pounds; cheap syrup or molasses, 2 quarts; water, 2 gallons. Mix the dry bran and the poison in a wash tub. Add the syrup Chop the oranges or lemons finely and add juice pulp and all. Then add the wa > ter and stir to dampen it thoroughly. TAen add as mucn ^ flWJr <XS> iivcky uc j necessary to make it a moist, crumbly mass that will sow easily. (Usually one gallon of water is required.) A While fresh the wet fruity mash is Jf very attractive, but when dry or stale >Jt is not eaten. This mixture is applied late in the evening or very early A in the morning. It should not be sown just before a shower as the B rain may wash the poison from the bran flakes. Little of the mixture is eaten after the first day and a second application may be necessary. W The above formula will sow ten to fifteen acres. Neither domestic aniB mals or bird" can get enough of the poison to injure them if sown as di^B rected. Never place in heaps or scatter thickly. Keep out of reach of domestic animals and children. After cotton and corn has become Y infested dust the plants with arsenate 1 of lead or arsenate of lime using about two pounds of poison to the acre,?less for very long plants and two and one-half to three pounds for cotton over three feet high. Ar-I senate of lead or arsenate of lime are I ready for use when purchased, but may be diluted by mixing with airslaked lime equal parts. Instead pole and bag the hand or traction duster J may be used. Apply the poison to small areas the most practical method is to dust it through a cheese-cloth bag attached to the end of a stick. On large areas the better method of application would be to use two sacks and pole carried I .Wo ^ J This is j| |^ut a display ai v || also look well i before entrusting We have with a large capi rfierit it, and you We pay } placed with us u 11 The 1 KINGSTREE wmiiiiii ( on horseback. This is made as fol- j lows: Take a strip of wood three inches 1 wide, one inch thick and one foot long-1 er than width of rows. Six inches from each end bore a hole one inch in diameter. Make two sacks of eight ounce duck six inches deep and twenty inches long and about the width of the strip of wood. The open sides are tacked to the ends of the strip (called pole) and these can be filled with poison through the auger hole in the ends of the pole. A funnel can be used to advantage. One man can poison about 29 acres per day with the bag and pole ana mule method. All live stock should be kept out of the poisoned field for at least three weeks or until after one or two heavy rains. Muzzle the mule while applying the poison. Do not inhale the dust. To prevent worms from spreading-, plow a deep furrow around the field and when the worms pile up in the furrow drag a log through it. Poison the adjoining margins of corn and cotton fields. Graze the infested area heavily. If ground is level use heavy roller. If a/road or driveway separates the infested from the threatened crop, use drag in killing the caterpillars when crossing. Cut and cure the infested grass or hay if far enough adavnced and plow and plant to another crop. o Items Cedar Swamp Miss Alma Duke, who has been visiting relatives and friends in Lake City, has returned home.

Chicago, July 12.?Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis of the Federal District Court is angry at President Wilson. The President's action in remitting the sentence of James Dorsey of Gilbert, 111., caused the outburst. Judge Landis surveyed the courtroo;n and said: "This man Dorsey was indicted after he had sold an average of 12,000 cattle a year from Alaska to Mexico, making a profit of about $10 a head. "He got a veterinarian to sign up a bunch of blank certificates stating that he had tested the cattle for tuberculosis and found them all right. Then, as the cattle were sold, the blank certificates were filled in months after they were signed, and thus tubercular cattle were spread through every State in the Union. "Finally this man is given a miserable eight years. The Circuit Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court affirm this sentence and refuse him a new trial. "At last, probably because of some one's 'oversight,' this man got into the penitentiary, and the President of the United States paused in his great affairs long enough to cut the sentence in two. I suppose he's due for a pardon now, but I wonder what frame of mind a person must be in to grant a pardon to this man." ? o DRYS WILL NAME TICKET Prohibition Party's Convention at Lincoln to Open July 21. The present prospect is that the Prohibition Party will nominate a Presidential ticket in its National Convention at Lincoln, Neb., beginning July 21, says Virgil G. Hinahaw, Chairman of the Prohibition National Committee. For the first time in the history of a Prohibition National Convention one of the sessions will be given over to a law enforcement mass meeting. Another new feature of the 1920 convention will be the discussion of world prohibition. o The State Department has formally announced that all restrictions on trade between the United States and Soviet Russia have been lifted, except as to materials susceptible of immediate use for war purposes. wwvwvyw^v wwes xaCPttMtWMPQJCPttlQtXttBBMQQQMQM gas? | * Ds jflOfjMUOuQiXiiu^U01K*/uudjiKlr )OCiiJOOQ R ker roposition is it thi people and others wi paminnr reman tv an V14I Hill Vi4|^MV 1 arplus funds. :h year mark of our 'and profit fund.
