Campc
(By Joe Sparks in Columbia State! i
The people of the nation always ;
look to the federal government for ;
aid in the face of a calamity. The <
advent of the Mexican boll weevil in- i
to the bounds of the United States.;
I n?ii m-nvo o tt ovfontinn I arcro 1
appropriations have been made'
through the national department of
agriculture and thousands of expo-1
mmerits have been conducted in an
effort to find a remedy for the little |
Ipest that has already cost the cotton
farmers of the South more than 11.-:
00d.000,000. The important task of |
L I advising the farmers of the South j
% ' v.us placed in the hands of Dr. W. D. |
Hunter, officially known as the extort
in charge of Southern field crop
Insect investigations, bureau of entomology.
United department of ag-1
rlculture. Dr. Hunter has spent
ttaost of his life studying the boll
weevil and is considered the highest
authority in the United States on the
tpost. All of the experiments are
made under his direction. He divides
his time between Washington
and the Southern field, where the
weevil has been on a rampage. Whateyyr
Dr. Hunter says about the weevil
<au be taken as final. If there is
a man in the country that can speak
with autho ty. :t i- !> Hunter. He
accompanied the Clemson colbge
weevil commission on its recent trip
through the South and gave the advantage
of his ripe experience. Ho

South Carolina in their fight on the

"The Poll Weevil Problem," is the
subject ot a bulletin which was pre-*
pa'ed some years ago bv IHunter.
It Is known us "Partners' Hulletin
512." It would be well for the farjuet'3
and business men of South Car
olina to write the national department
of agriculture, Washington. D.
C.. ro'- a ropy of this 'bulletin. If the
farmers follow the advice contained
in the pamphlet they vvill be great-j
ly benefited.
Statements have been made that
the boll weevil will not do any great
damage above the 3 4 th parallel.
Many of the farmers claim that no
damage will be done above Columbia*.
This is a mistake. The word of Dr.
Hunter is given that the weevil will
cover the entire State of South Carotin;!.
It is estimated by experts that
the loss to the cotton crop of the
State in the coast counties will be
about 7 5 per cent. The loss in the
middle tier of counties will be about
50 per cent. From 25 to 35 per cent
will be the losses in the Piedmont
section of South Carolina. Unfavorable
weather conditions might cause
u loss of all the crop in the hill
country. Without a doubt the 1,500,000
normal cotton crop for South
Carolina will be cut to about 600,ooo
bales. I
l>r. Hunter's book contains an outline
of the practical methods of cot:
trolling the Mexican boll weevil. The
auethods advocated by I)r. Hunter avbased
upon extensive st -di s aim
mtirli evnori mpnt ;i t ion Thp>
represent practically all that is
known about combatting the most sovnns
enemy of the cotton plant. The
farmer can insure success in proportion
to the extent to which he
combines the essential parts. i
A summary of the recommends- j
lions by Dr. Hunter follows and It ]l
would be well tor every farmer in
South Carolina to study these methods
carefully: <

Methods of
lign.
the weevils in the fall by uprooting
ind burning the plants. This is the
ill important step. It results in the
tieath of millions of weevils. It injures
a crop for the following season.
If it is not practicable to burn
the stalks they should still be up
rooieu. mis will stop the development
of the weevils, but allow the
cotton to be picked as the supply of
labor permits. If the plants can not
be uprooted turning plows should be
used in humid regions to cover the
fallen squares deeply as soon as the
fields become heavily infested in the
.
summer or fall. The practice Is of
ittle value in dry regions, but in huiiid
regions it will result in the death
if many of the weevils in the buried j
iquares.
2. Destroy also many weevils that
lave survived the preceding operadon
and are found in the cotton
iolds and along the hedge rows,
'ences and buildings. This is done by
dearing the places generally.
So far as possible, locate tin
ields in situation where damage will
ie avoided. This can not be done in
ill cases but can frequently be done
o good advantage.
t. Prepare the land early and
horouuhly in ordei to obtain an ear
y ctop. This means fall plowing
ind winter working of the land.
i>. Provich wide rows, and plenty
>f space between the rows and the
ilants in the drill, for the assistance
if the natural enemies of the weevil,'
Ahicli do more against the pest than
he farmer can do himself bv any
tnown means, f'linek-r wing, where
v? r pram ..hie. is h i excellent prac?i
ice.
6. Insure an early crop l>v early!
planting of early maturing varieties,
uid by fertilizing where necessary.
7. Continue the procuring of an
parly crop by early chopping to a
stand and early and frequent culti-!
vation. Do not los? the fruit the
plants have set by cultivating too
deeply or too close to the rows.
8 In humid regions, if the labor
is sufficient, pick the first appearing
weevils and the first infested
squares. Do not destroy the squares
but place them in screened cages. By
this means the escape of the weevils
will be prevented, while the
parasites will be able to get out and
continue their assistance on the side
of the farmer.
9. Do not poison for the leat
worm unless its work begins at an
abnormally early date in the summer.
10. Do not go to the expense of
buying special preparations for de
Mioynm me weevil. Disappointm?>nt
and loss are cortain to follow. In
case of doubt communicate at onc?>
with the bureau of entomolog\ 01
with the entomologist of the State
experiment station.
Some Special Means.
In some cases, for instance whore
a farmer has a small area of cotton
growing for seed selection, it is practicable
to resort to special means 01
control that would be impracticable
ir. general field practice.
For the benefit of the farmers who
must begin to improve their cotton
fv... following suggestions are made
by Dr. Hunter:
"The plant or plants should be far
from timber, hedgerows, seed stor
age houses and other protection for
hibernating weevils. On the appearance
of the earliest weevils the plants
should he carefully picked over by
hand. This should be continued until
well after the squares begin to
fall. If the falling of the squares
continues it will be found practicable
to rake them by hand to the
middles or entirely outside of tlie
plants to a hare place, where the sun

riemson college and the United

breeding cotton In South Carolina.
E E. Hall, demonstration agent for

by W. W. Hong, director of the

Rock Hill, Nov. 16. President 1>. li
B. Johnson of Winthrop college re- o
turned yesterday from Washington, C
where he had been on a business c
trip. Dr. Johnson who was a victim
of the Southern's collision near p
Charlottesville. Va., yesterday morn- h
ing. was not badly injured. He is a
still unable to turn his head and is I*
sore from numerous bruises. t
Dr. Johnson stated it was the
worst wreck he was ever in While k
running at a high rate of speed the i
ngine of No. :?2 crashed into a train e
of lumber, the last car of which had s
not completely cleared tin* main line, n
The engine was turned over and skid
<ied for about 75 yards. It was to s
this skidding that Dr. Johnson at- c
tributes the fact that there were no t
more fatalities. llad the stop been li
mini- auiiuun ne sum's mere is hard
ly any doubt but that his nock would t
have been broken. The skidding o
caused the train to come to a stand- r
still gradually. s
The engineer was killed apd it was a
two hours before his body could he a
found. The fireman was able to
crawl from beneath the pile of (
wreckage, but died later. t
It will be several days before t
President Johnson has fully reoov 1
jered from his injuries. i

The Governor ordered Major Wil- ^
iam P. Robertson, commanding the '
attalion of Coast artillery, to pro- ^
eed to Anderson and take command. 1
le also telegraphed Commander 1
Touch, of the four divisions of Naal
militia at Charleston, to hold his 8
onipanise in readiness to answer a c
all. <
The decision of the Governor to ^
end the National Guard into An- *
erson to preserve order and enable 1
he civil authorities to carry out the I
ivil processes had been exhausted. 5
The militia companies at once as- 4
enibled in their armories and are I
roceedlng to Anderson. The Gov- f
rnor ordered the necessary railroad 1
quipnient made ready. By daybreak 2
omorrow 250 soldiers will be in An- t
erson under command of Major
tobertson ready to carry out the or- '
ers of the Governor. <
The trouble at Anderson began (
ome time ago. when constables who c
rent to eject strikers from the i
muses on the mill property under c
jectment orders frotji Magistrate e
ox were stopped by sympathetic
rowds of armed strikers.
The ejectment writs were then ;
laced in Sheriff John M. Ashley's
anils, but the Governor received an
ppeal from Manager Rigon, of the
hiuinox Mill, for protection, saying
he sheriff refused to act.
The Governor wired the sheriff to
now of the situation and in reply
eceived a telegram which the t'.ovrnnr
said was "insolent." The
lieriff in his wire to Governor Man
.ng said in part:
"Writs of ejectment have not been
erveil yet. 1 will do this work acording
to my own judgment and it
hat don't suit you, you can send up
lere and do it yourself."
Immediately the Governor replied
o him: "Your insolent telegram re
eived. I shall without delay take
lecessary steps to enforce the law in
pite of your attitude of disrespect
ind defiance of the law and eneourigement
of lawlessness."
In addition to the 250 National
luardsmen who are now proceeding
o Anderson there are 200 more In
he naval militia which are being
leld under arms to be sent there if
teeded. These units are all of the
National Guard remaining in th<>
State, the rest being on duty along
