A Short Course At Winthrop. n * e I wish to say a word or two to the - Club women and Club girls of Wili liamsburg county about the splendid i- short corse at Winthrop College, i- which I had the privilege of attende ing this summer. l. As I have never taken such a course as this before, I could hardly realize ri i what a wonderful amount of good the . I annual short courses at Winthroo Col III lege have done and are still doing - throughout the state, y There were courses offered this year in every phase of demonstration work, 1. end we were allowed to chose the ones il which we liked best and which we t felt would be most beneficial to us. d I specialized in jelly-making, while i- ethers from the cuonty took bread> making rug-making, or some other of y the courses offered. Of course we had 11 the very best teachers to train and ino struct us, and we came away with a d store of valuable information which e we could never have gained as well elsewhere. In addition to our classes, we hac the opponunititv of hearing some e splendid lectures by such men as Dr e D B. Johnson, and Messrs. Long s, Cobb, and Martin. Then, too, there >f were several ladies who made excely lent talks on interesting subjects conc ceming the home, i- The authorities in charge of th? Winthrop College short course not on s ly provided for our mental uplift, bu< )f they looked cut for the physical an( it social side as well. Our working rs hours were from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m g and recreation hours from 6 p. m. t( 10 p. m. It was during these moment; ?n of recreation that we had the privi lege, and pleasure of attending som< splendid musical recitals. There wer< in several receptions given us, where w< >f met each other in our informal waj e. and had the best of times, and on on; > occasion, we all went to the picture >' show to <ee Charlie Chaplin in "The ) Kid." 'Tis needless to say that we en> joyed the picture very much > I wish I could tell you just how ) much I enjoyed my trip, and how j ; much good it did me, but I am sure ;! that I should never be able 'o tell the 1 5 half even; A.iyhow, if you want some ,, good sound advise, don't ever turn s,down a short course at Winthrop Col-1 lege, if the opportunity ever comes your way.

I 0 Weevils, Weather and Poison Clemson College, June 20.?As the weather conditions constitute the determining factor in the amour.t of boll weevil damage from year to year, so will the weather directly affect the poisoning work from year to year, according to Prcf. A. F. Coniadi, entomologist, who states that if curing the early part of the fruiting season there is a month or more of hot and dry weather we may expect that this will control the weevil s^jfficiently to make dusting not necessary or profit abie. On the other hand, if this is a i period of frequent rains, the weevils I will rmiltinlv verv raDidlv and severe loss may be expected. The midday showers of a rainy season have a tendercy to cause shedding of many squares and young bolls. This results in a concentration of weevils on the remaining fruit, thus aggravating the situation. During the dusting season the weather may be so rainy that it is impossible to keep a coat of poison on the plants sufficiently long to be of value. But farmers should not be unduly afraid of threatening weather after poisoning has started. Experience so far would indicate that every effort should be made to apply the poison as nearly as possible according to schedule. Since the weather conditions vary in different localities, the procedure can be determined only during the dusting season and foxeach locality individualally. o i Big Day at Cedar Swamp July 2nd.
