Corn Sulk Borer Profits Greatly When Farmers Leave Stubble I n disturbed Clemson College, Dec. 29.?The corn stalk barer It one of the "rea? sons" why earn stubble should not be allowed to stand In the Held all winter undisturbed. This insect is one of the most notorious corn pests of the South. Without cutting the stalks the evidence of its work may be seen in every corn field at the time of harvesting by the holes that may occur on any portion of the stalk. These holes vary largely in number. i "The point to be remembered in jthe life history stages and hablis ?X this insect," says A. F. Conrad!, ?ntomol-.glst of Clemson College, "is Its habit of remaining as a larva in [he t.a s of corn stubble below the ?ound during winter. Here, there Is a chance for those farmers ho are friends of this species to k> it a great favor by allowing the 1 >m stubble to stand undisturbed in telr fields during fall and winter, istrcylng corn stubble is not very Pesy. except on modern farms where ibere is sufficient horse power and [he nubbles can be turned under thoroughly. "Turning under corn stubble is of **?at help in reducing the corn stalk >rer for the next season. Where icrmsgh turning cannot be prac ;d, there are other methods, such busting* out the stubble and haul It to the compost heap for rot ig. After the corn is gathered, the ,lks stubble and everything else 0' be bursted out, raked in heaps id, after a few weeks for drying, irned." In experimental work a very large irren tage of larvae was destroyed irlng winter where the stubble was ?wed out and left exposed to the thor. It can readily be seen that lee these saethods are practised farmers only here and there it t not help the situation very lucb. The control of the corn stalk >rer. says the entomologist depends fj/km cooperative action of the farm of a community. "Th*? fact must be borne in mind," t'onradl concludes, "that it is eitra\agant farm oractlce to let jltldg lie Idle and exposed dur ig the winter months, not only on >um of these Insect pests, but on Kttmt of the washing and leaching >r Um m U?H Th- grown insect is a moth ?hn h in early spring lays Its eggs the bane of the corn.

Crider, Associate Prof, of Horticulture, Clemson College.) The home garden is not complete without a hot-bed in which to grow during the winter a few of the half hardy vegetables and to sow seed for early spring transplating. If we have neglected to plant the fall garden, it is all the more necessary that we begin a hot-bed at once. Such a structure may be easily and cheaply made. Often there is enough rough surplus lumber about the place with which to make a frame and the covering need not cost too much. It is best to use glass for a cover? ing as it retains heat better than does wood, but in a climate as mild as ours, tightly fitting boards fur? nish a very satisfactory substitute. In making the hot-bed, select a well drained spot, preferably next to the south side of a wall or building, and dig a pit about ten inches deep, six feet wide and as long as desired. Put in as heating material six inches of fresh stable manure. Pack the ma? nure well and cover with a layer of about four inches of rich garden soil. Let stand for a few days and it is ready for the seed. The frame should be made 12 to 18 inches high in the back, with a height of eight to ten inches for the front. The boardsi constituting the frame may be held together temporarily by the use of stakes, but it is better, for purposes of keeping out cold, to construct more closely. The bed may be utilized immediate? ly by sowing radish seed in rows four inches apart with every other row planted to lettuce. The rad? ishes will hi ready for use in about four weeks, when the entire space be thinned to eight ir.hes apart in the row if solid heads are desired. A few rows may be thinned each day and the thinnings used for salad. By the tine the lettuce is off, to? mato, egg-plant and other seed of warm season crops may be sown. In order to have these vegetables early it is necessary to get them started before danger of frost has passed. Other methods and uses will suggest themselves to the re? sourceful gardener and will make the hot-bed a source of much profit as well as pleasure to him. SAFETY GUARANTEED RESI? DENTS. President Gutierrez Notifies Secretary Dryan of Proclamation. Washington, Dec. 31.?Secretary Bryan was officially notified by Pro? visional President Gutierrez of Mexico that he had issued an amnesty proc? lamation and guarantees safety to all inhabitants, regardless of class dis? tinction.

Long, at Clemson College. The State agent's eport of all the demonstratflon work for the year will be made up shortly after the first of the year. The re? port for 1914 will contain information indicating that Clemson College and the national government have as? sisted the farmers of South Carolina in larger measure this year than ever before and that the next year promises to see the college still more helpful to the farmers.

Ii. YATES ELECT ED CASHIER. Has Been With First National Dank Fifteen Years and Held Every Po? sition?Other Employees Promoted. At a meeting of the First National Bank Tuesday afternoon O. L. Yatcs, who was been teller of the institution for several years was elected cashier, vice J. L. McCallum, deceased. Mr. Yates at once enters upon the duties of his new position, although at the same time he will continue to act as teller until an outside clerk is elected. Mr Robert T. Brown was promoted from bookkeeper to teller and Mr. J. W. Kinard from collector to bookkeep? er. Mr. Yates, the new cashier of the bank, has been with the institution for fifteen years and has served the bank in every capacity as an employee except as cashier. He is therefore a most experienced man in the bank? ing business and well known to all of the customers of the bank. He has made a very efficient teller, and his promotion is considered by the direc? tors of the institution to be due him for his excellent work in the past. I Mr. Robert T. Brown, the new tell? er, has been with the bank a num? ber of years, serving as collector and bookkeeper. Mr. J. W. Kinard has been collector for the bank for several years and his promotion to bookkeep? er has been earned by his good work. A collector to take his place has not yet been elected. SHORE CHOSEN BANK PRESI? DENT. Sucx'ceds A. L. Lcsesno Who Resigned on Account of 111 Health. Geo. D. Shore, one of the best known business men in Sumter and postmaster for the past several years, was elected president of the Commer? cial & Savings Bank on Tuesday after? noon at a meeting of the board of di? rectors of the institution to succeed A. L. Lesesne, who resigned on account of his continued ill health. Mr. Shore will at once assume the duties of president, and" in the near future he will fill his office at the bank which is expected to occupy his whole time and attention. Mr. A. L. Lesesne, who has been preside.it of the bank since its organ? ization more than a year ago, has been in extremely bad health for sev? eral months and unable to attend to the duties of the office. As his health has not improved, he tendered his res? ignation, which was accepted with re? gret. During his administration as president the bank has prospered and under the new president, who is one of Sumter's energetic and enterprising business men, it is expected that the bank will continue to expand rapidly as it has done in the past.
