SUCCEED ON FARMS IN SPITE
OF PESTS
How three Fairfield farmers have!
met successfully boll weevil conditions
in the third year of local infestation
is related by the county agent, R. H.
Lemmon.
Sixty-Four But i iu ky
"J. W. Brice, 64, has thu.s ar been
able to grow cotton succe:sfully Un
der boll wee% il conditions. ',r. Br'ce
is a small farmer and does most of
his work. This ye:ar he mnde one of
the best cottort crops that he has ever
made. He planted eight acres of cot
ton and made eight hales. One acre
made 1,620 pound.- of se'd cotton.
Mr. Brice did not u any poison, but
picked some square- and worked his
crop often. Only 300 pounds of fer
tilizer was used to the acre. The
kind of fertilizer used w:s a mixture
of one-half 16 per cent. acid, one
foirth nitrate of soda and one-fourth
k: ;t. This cotton v at: grown on
rather thin sandy soil. The cotton
was planted about the first of May,
the variety planted beirg Cleveland
big boll.
"Mr. Brice lives at home and hs
something to sell besides cotton. He
will have 100 bushels of corn to sell,
40 bushels of peas and also some
sweet potatoes. Has already sold S20
worth of potatoes.
Has Built Up His Land
"W. W. Turper, an eight horse far
mer, is making good under boll we.
vil conditions. Mr. Turner planted
95 acres in cotton this year and made
65 bales of cotton. Mr. Turner used
no poison of any consequence. The
secret of Mr. Turner's success this
year was good land, for he had a very
poor start.for a cotton crop on more
than half of his acreage. Mr. Turner
has built his land up principally by
feeding steers. His best field of cot-:
ton was a field of 46 acres in Cleve
land big boll that made 35 heavy
bales. The iertilizer used was a rx
ture of equal parts of 16 per ce,.
acid and cottonseed me,. using .5e0
pounds per acre.
"Mr. Turner is not an all cotton
farmer by any means. He will sel!
1,000 bushels of oats, and has 500
bushels of corn for sale. Has 2o1!
$200 worth of hogs and 8150 worth of
sour cream. Mr. Turner is still ship
ping cream and has more hogs for
sale."
Makes Almost Normal Crop.
"W. M. Estes, who operates a large
farm near Rockton, made almost a
normal crop of cotton under heavy
bool weevil fire. Mr. Estes plantedi
275 acres in cotton this year and made
223 bales of cotton. This cotton was
planted from the 15th to the 25th of
April. The variety was Wannamak
er's Cleveland big boll. The amount
of fertiliz er used was 400 pounds of
8-4-4 per acre. Three hundred pounds
was used in lap and 100 in drill at
planting time.
"No poison was used but all falling
squares were carefully picked up un
til second week in August.
"The land ' was carefully prepared,
and was cultivated from once to twice
per week. The secret of this fines
yield of cotton under weevil condi
tions was good soil full of vegetable
matter. Mr. Estes started several
years ago building his soil by leav
ing on the land all pea vines, both
broadcast and in rows. He was able
to leave these peavines on the land
by growing alfalfa for hay.
"Mr. Estes in not an all cotton far
mner, but will be able to sell abont
800 bushels of oats and about 2,000
bushels of corn from this year's crop.
He has also sold $400 worth of poul
try and dairy products."
County Agent L. S. Wolfe of~
Orangeburg writes that at least two
farmers in the Bowman section have
demonstrated that cotton can be
grown under boll weevil conditions:;
"J. C. Hydrick, viho lives on J. .
Shuler's farm, made seven bales of
cotton on 25 acres this past year.
"Marion Smith, who lives on the
adjoining place, made 15 bales on]
60 acres.
"While these yields are nothing like
what was madle by the same farmers
before the weevil came, it does show
that cotton can be made in spite of
the weevil.
"Only 300 pounds of fertilizers were
used to the acre.
"Both of these farmers destroyed
their cotton stalks before frost last
fall and cleaned up their (ditch banks,
fence rows, etc., and prepared their
lands early and well.
"The cotton was planted early and
was cultivated frequently and thor
oughly. Their lands being infested;
with cotton wilt, they used Dixie
seed.
"Both are confident that they would
