SHOULD TURN CORN STUBBLE.
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

dlOT-UED A FACTOR IX HOME
GARDEN.
Structure of Great Importance and
Value, Yet is Easily and Cheaply
Constructed.
(By F. J. 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.

County Agents Reporting.
Clemson College, Dec. 29.?The
county demonstration agents are now
gathering and compiling the facts
that are to go into their annual re?
ports and submitting these reports
to State Agent W. W. 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.

O. Ii. YATES ELECT ED CASHIER.

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.
