To the Farmers of South Carolina: I desire to call to your attention a n.ctter that, to my mind, is of grave concern to every citizen of our State. J The boll weevil has reached the Atlanta district, in Georgia The agricultural committee of the board of trustees of Clemson college, at a lr.eeting held September 29 and 30, has considered the alarming aspects of this matter, and has taken steps to bring this situation to the attention of our farmers so that they can at- once prepare for this disaster when it strikes us. The government maps and reports show that the boll weevil ' liar advanced between 90 ^nd 100 ' j miles towards us this season. They I have another month or more in which I to advance still further in our direc1 [ t'.??n. I am not an alarmist, but together with the other trustees of , CIcmson college, I do regard the 'situation as so serious that active ; stej*? should be taken at once in order ; | to meet this threatened calamity, and '! plai;? are now being formulated by i the Clemson college board looking to I 1 th<? end I will, at a later date, give the^e plans and suggestions to the | |public. In the meantime let me; ! i i'ge our farmers throughout tho j ' State to sow wheat, oats, rye, clovers I and other winter crops, in prepara-j i.it?n for money crops other than cot- ! ton, to be grown next year. 1 urge our people also to fix their minds on nlnns for raisin? hofs. cat. :.Ic and other live stock. I I urge this r tatter most seriously, and assure than that I will advise only what I knew to be facts. The increased ' price of cotton and the spre-id of the ! h-?il weevil, still further reducing the j ^ ic-ld of cotton, will have a tendency t(- attract our farmers to the raising | cC cotton in preference to other crops, and to fix their efforts on an j increase in cotton acreage. This, in .ny judgment, will mean disaster. 1 j say it advisedly. Again, I urge that . everything points to the appearance of the boll weevil in South Carolina ' ithin a much shorter time than pre.vious calculations would indicate, and ' ij. i- -l .* 1.1 - x l. nenooves us as sei^.sioiu peupie lu give this matter our best thought arid to prepare for it accordingly. We mu'it not regard it as one of thoso m>siortunes which may or may not! come to us in a distant future. We believe that the boll weevil will soon be here. -Again, I urge upon our people to plant food crops and raise more live READ | .
