BOLL WEEVIL IN BEAl'tORT Only Two Bale? of Cotton To Twenty Acres. The statement recently made by a large farmer in Beaufort county that "he had twenty acres of cotton, all growing fine, but that he would do well if he harvested two bales from the twenty acres, where he had formerly made a bale to the acre, on account of the ravages of the boll weevil this year," gives everyone a clear insight into the exact situation which , i*J ? - DAf. the cotton iarmsrs 111 ucauviv w?- . ty are facing. All which goes to prove that we are facing a new era. We must have some permanent substitute for the j former money crop, cotton, or else the farmers will have to stop farm- , ing, except those who plant truck exclusively, and as everyone knows, truck can be planted successfully on the larger places, or rather by men who have a substantial financial backing to tide them over the seasons when they do not realize good profits on their truck. It is for the small colored farmer of Beaufort county, that the boll weevil has rung in the final curtain on their time honored money crop. Only a small, percentage of them are acquainted with the cultivation of any money producing crop save cotton, and the 1910 census reports there are 20,000 negroes living in the county, and it is safe to saythat 1 75 per cent of these have made their living, since the days of the phos- . phate mines on their small cotton ; patches scattered over the mainland and numerous islands along the coast. u ,lc nn tn the permanent 1III?> UIIII50 M.' industry which will handle the hogs 1 and cattle that the small farmer. 1 both white and colored can raise in j almost unlimited quantities on Beau- 1 fort soil, and a local packing plant. , which is now in the making, so to j speak, will solve the problem The I latest reports from the meetings' _ which are now being held daily over I, the four adjoining cpunfies give j. promise of success to the un 1 .-rtak-! utg, and it should have the moral and j financial backing of every Beaufort!, county business man?The Beaufoft1.

The process is too important 1 .to be conducted incidentally while 1 'tasking. Wlien selecting seed corn I give the process your entire atten- 1 tion. Get the very best that is to be had and preserve it well, and your ' increased yields will return you more ' profit than any other work you can < do on your fain. < The yield of corn in the South can 1 easily be doubled by pi-oper selection < of seed and proper cultivation. ' If you must buy seed, pay your 1 neighbor a reasonable price for se- ' lected dried seed of a variety that 1 has made good in a neighboring ( *?eld; but don't pay a stranger a fan- 1 cy price for seed ciaimeu u? gneimiraculous yields. "Trust in Providence and keep ' your seed com dry." i Actual tests have proved that care-! ' fully stored seed corn will yield as j much as 18 bushels more to the acre j than seed from the ordinary storage , 1 of the corn crib. This would mean ' almost double the yield for some! ' folks. How and When to Select Seed Corn |, 1. Seed corn must be selected ear from the lield. Commence as soon as the co :s well dented. 3. Set aside three or four days f this purpose. 4. The best seed selection is pos: >!-* only from stalks in the fie where the heiirht on stalk, nur ber of ears to tJie stalk ui hanging characteristics as w< as the shuck cover can be seer ' 11 fili.J .4 4l Ears shouin oe wen nuuu m u buts and tips. 6. Select ears ^hanging at about tl center of the stalk. 7. Select ears that hang over wi points down, as they shed wat and are less subject to spoilin i Select ears with medium shank both as to length and diameter 9. Do not .sacrifice good ears f fancy points. I t. Select ears whose tips are w< covered with husks. This protec the corn from insects and the is less danger of the grain beii damaged. Li. As a rule select ears with snu cobs and deep kernels. 12. Keep the selected ears in tight box or barrel until ready plant If attacked by weevils du :ng winter, fumigate with cartx bi-sulphide.

August sales in tl >:a:e this year were 44,345,9; pounds, as compared with 2,068.31 pounds in August, 1910, and tl money paid by buyers for this t jacco was ?10.944,116 against uboi 5125.000 for the same month in 191 rhe figures for August, 1919, mu be a revelation to most people in tl State v- h ? have taken only a passii interest in tobacco and have not r garded it as one of the leading crop They will he forced so ta regard from now on. A crep that sells in figures like these is a great factor economic life of a State and deserv to have the best attention of tl State for its improvement in tl several branches of production at marketing. As the Evening Post has point) jut on more than one occasion, tl remarkable development of the t bacco-growing industry in Sou' Carolina in the past few years shou be of special interest to Charlesto The raising of tobacco is confined a rr.o.-t entirely to the eastern countii x the State and Charleston, whi interested in the whole State, hi always regarded the eastern secti< as the territory with which its ral tioas were and ought to be especia [y close and has always felt especia [y close to the people of that sectio Moreover, it is highly significar from this viewpoint, that most i the new tobacco region is in territo) nearer Charleston than the old fiel and that the growth of the tobae belt of the State is toward this cit Plantings on a large scale in Do Chester. Derkeley and other nearl counties have undoubtedly contribu ed largely to the great increase the crop of this year over that 1918. - "In the face of the boll weev bringing with it the necessity f severe curtailment of cotton acreai and thereby only augmenting t; movement of the farmer's associ tion for such curtailment, the farr ers of the State and especially of ti pastern counties, are looking forsu stitute crops. Those of the tobac belt know they have a good one tobacco and those in neighborii counties who have not yet tried t fturm will undoubtedly be induced io so before many seasons have pas ?d. Most farmers in this part of tl country are accustomed to produ ng a crop that is strictly a "mone; :rop. one easily sold when the tin las come to market it, quickly co .ertible into cash. Tobacco, wh< narkets have been well organizi ind warehouses provided, is such rop.
