June 21.?Despite the i heavy ' arid excessive rains just j now. tobacco growers of "this seo I tion are commencing between I showers to cut arid cure their 1922 !tobacco crop. Several barns were j put' in yesterday and more would jhave been put in ' but for the j threatening weather. ? How the crop will pan out this j year still is uncertain. Thus far i the weed has had considerably j more "water than it needed. Some places have reported? a great deal of wilt because of the excessive, moisture. "So far as has been heard, j this section has not been bothered | much with w'ilt, though it has] shared liberally in' the general i rains of the past several weeks. If the rains moderate there as hope yet that the leaf higher up the stalk is going to make average good tobacco. -rr^ I Chamber of "Commerce Notes. The Roanoke Grocery and Mill ing company, Roanoke, Va.. has written the Sumter Chamber " of j Commerce that this corporation is anxious to get in touch with some reliable shippers of watermelons arid cantaloupes. Any producers who have either watermelons or cantaloupes for shipment should write to Roanoke Grocery und Milling Company, at Roanoke, Ta.; immediately. The quicker'you write the better. Don't wait'until prices slump as prices do' when markets become glutted. - ? ' ?' 5 ? Congressman H. P. Fulmer tele graphed the Sumter ?Chamber of Commerce Wednesday: "I am mailing you a supply of franked envelopes for mailing bulletins to farmers. More will be serif wheri received frorii printer." This-refers to free distribution of ''Bell Weevil Problem?Fa rm ers' Bulletin No. 1262" and any cotton producers desiring this bul letin may receive'same free by writing or phoning Chamber of Commerce, Phone No. 200. 1 ' This bulletin is very valuable to cotton producers arid has been pre pared as a resriIt of years of ex perimentation by the laboratories of the bureau of ehotmology" of the United States Department of Agriculture. There is great deal about the boll weevil problem in this bulletin that every cotton! farmer ought to know. Why hot] secure this bulletin arid read it, it j costs you nothing. ? Dr. W. W. Long, director co-op erative extension work in agricul ture and home economics; of Clem son College writes the Sumter Chamber of Commerce as follows^:; "We are sending you five hundred I copies of the report of the South! Carolina Boll Weevil Commission j which contains 'much valuable in-- j formation in addition to irisftruc- ? tiori's about' poisoning. 'We have! also department circular No. 162 j on 1)611 weevil poisoning, but our ] supply is almost exhausted and we 'are finding it difficult to geti additional supplies.' Perhaps Rep^ .resentative rlV P.rFulm'er, to whom you have written, has' sent" or Will j send 'supplies of this circular in : answering your .request." So it seems that the United i States Departinent of Agriculture j and the farm extension division of Clemson College believe in poison ing^ the boll weevil under* certain conditions made very plain in'these bulletins and in other methods of boll weevil control; ' ' " j That it will not'pay every cotton ; producer under any- and all' cir*- j cumstanoes to undertake pdifconing ! is fully set forth' In "bulletin No. 12C2 and It seems that the educa tional feature's of the' boll weevil poisoning proposition contained in this bulletin are well worth while being secured by every farmer. Since the'federal government has spent thousands of dollars in get ting out bulletins of great educa tional val?e and if the Chamber of Commerce is willing to undertake the trouble to distribute these "boil weevil problem bulletins,- it does seem that the cotton farmers can derive benefit by simply applying for'same". There are more than five hun dred farmers' bulletins that can be had as long as the supply lasts on hundreds of farm subjects by applying by letter to your con gressman 'or senator. A list of these five hundred bulletins is at Sumter Chamber of Coirimerce. ? ?' m ? ' m Clemson Fi^ttmen Baseball. Clemson College.
