I ' A * * 11 ' - 1 WEEVIL POISONING AGAIN ^ Clemson College, Apr. 24.?Every day numerous inquiris are received at Clemson Colege in regard to one or other of the numerous devices for attaching to plows for applying liquid poison, for brushing the cotton to knock the weevil from the plants, for attracting weevils to light, etc., etc. The man with new dvices for boll weevil control has been everpresent in the wake of the weevil during the last twenty years. Many of these devices represent patriotic and conscientious effort, while in some cases the motive is purely self, fish. In many cases at least the man > who gets up the device has no know1 ledge whatever of the history of boll weevil control and is not aware that his plans have been tried arid tested by Federal and State experts $nd rep- ? 1 resentative farmers for a number ? of years and found unsatisfactory. ' He fails to realize that the people i of other states are just as int .liif gent and clever as he is and that ^ . many of his ideas have been thrashed to a frazzle long before they oc curreu to mm. ^ In making recommendations or statements regarding such matters 5 we are guided by the number of c( t' pounds of seed cotton that any given - device has been able to add profitably to the cotton crop; we recognize ; only the results of carefully conductt ed tests and we can not base our jn ; recommendations on guess work, i says Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist; and in answer to the numerous ^ inquiries we repeat that wherever one ^ has decided to poison we recommend . the use of calcium arsenate as a dust, - with properly constructed machines, ^ s according to a proper schedule. This recommendation is based on ^ the fact that we have no evidence where profitable results were secured - in carefully conducted tests by other ^ >. than the dusting method. We do say j1( that where one dusts he will secure ^ r profitable results, because not by any s means did all farmers that dusted see cure "profitable results in 1921, but r( in carefully conducted tests by ex- sj y perts under the supervision of Federal and State officials, wherever profit was secured it was secured by the dusting method. We have prepared an office letter entitled "Poisoning, in 1022" to accompany Circular 162 of the Federal Government and these are available for distribution by the Extension Service, Clemson College, S. C. ^ tf TRAPS TO CATCH THE FARMER m jc sc They Are More Dangerous Thaiv The Traps to Catch The Boll Weevil "Not only the constellations but the j1( other 1,000 billion start all point to Qj exceeding prevalence of traps to fi, catch the farmer in the many awkward moves which he will neoo?o??!i? ? -vv- ...., m make in his first conflict with the tr boll weevil. Lacking fixed rules to in guide him against these pitfalls he will prove an easy prey to the wiles ^ of the trained diplomat. When Philo Gubb would become a detective he to got himself a rule book which direct- 01 ed him under all conditions. When he scented danger he hid himself b? m hind a tree and consulted this'book. y( Every farmer needs to get him a w similUr book at once. When a ?tranger di- vej to your house for the sole and unselfish purpose of conferring upon you a great benefaction. You are to get behind a tree and consult your guide book. It will tell Ci you that he is fixing to pull your leg ri< and that you should well anoint the ne same with opossum grease before C< again venturing into his presence. C< In times passed when he wished to to sell you an oil well your guide book 10 would have told that you should have to required him to deliver the said well th in the left hand corner of your front n yard and then wait on you to pay him from the oil obtained thereon. ? If the kind visitor had wished to M. 3ell you a fish scrap factory the book would have advised that you smell over the proposition at least a year. "If he offers you apparati which will destroy the boll weevil, be kind to him for it is a wonderful thing he has accomplished Go with him to ^ your demonstration agent and gather . together the farmers who have gotten good results from this said machine. If the man's time is too valu-l able to do thi? K? ,, ?j iiu mean?) Ut'lUIH him long enough to carry oflf a note for any of your money. This guide book will also advise that you sign no papers, especially those that are not to be used, or which are a mere matter of form, or which are guaran- ar teed to yield a dividend sufficient to L pay the entire amount of the adven-. ture into which you are being enticed. All of us have much wondered how it is possible for these polite well dressed friends of ours who visit us in fine automobiles and silken socks to so outprosper us when all of their time was consumed in uplifting us. We had finally concluded that they were able to so greatly outshine us even when we followed all of their advice simply because that it is more blessed to give than to receive. When however, we consulted our guide , book it said look in tho glass for the goat.

A poor man can not afford not have a cow. Purebred seed are as essential for op success as purebred animals for restock success. Diversification is the religion of irming. The boll weevil is convertg many cotton sinners. Only 32 per cent, of our farm )mes have running water. Consider le plight of the other 68 per cent! No farmer has ff riht to be so ii8y in his own affairs that he takes o time to help in his community sovities.

I HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH v ' IS DEATH VALLEY, CALIF. \ ' I Ten years of records obtained at the United States Weather Bureau i H substation at Greenland ranch in Death Valley, Calif., indicate that this is the hottest region in the United v. States and probably on earth. The av- |1 erage of extreme maximum tempera- % ture reported to the United States De- ll partment of Agriculture since 1911 has been 125 degress F. At Greenland ranch temperatures of 100 degrees F. * or higher occur almost daily during June, July and August. The hottest AI month on record is July, 1917, when the mean temperature was 107. degrees F. But the temperature of 134 degrees observed on July 10, 1913, is believed by meteorologists to be the ' highest natural-air temperature ever f' recoraea with a standard tested thermometer exposed in the shade under approved conditions. Death Valley is from 2 to 8 miles wide and about 100 miles long, lying between high mountain ranges. It is the deepest depression in the United States, some tstimates placing its lowest point at 337 feet below sea level. Greenland ranch is 178 feet below sea level. White people find the midsummer heat intolerable, and even the Indians go up to the Panamint Range during July and August. The normal annual precipation in Death Valley is less than 2 inches. Successful agriculture can not be maintained on less than 15 or 20 inches of annual precipitation without the aid of irrigation. Agroup of springs serve as the source of irrigation-water supply for Greenland ranch. The water has a temperature of about 100 degrees F. and is only sufficient to irrigate 70 acres. Four crops of alfalfa are gathered each year. The principal product of the ranch is dressed meat, but experi- , ments are being made in raising poultry and in growing vegetabl.es, dates, citrus and deciduous fruits.
