POISONING, THE WEEVIL
We believe that experiments hawe
progressed far enough to justify the
assertion that boll weevil damage to
cotton may be so far controlled by
the proper use of calcium arsenate
as to enable farmers, in ordinary
years, to grow from one-half to
three-fourths of an average crop of
cotton. The Southern Cotton Oil
Company has been making experiments
on the farms of numbers of
farmers about Abbeville the present
summer and that company is now
asking the public to make an inspection
of the cotton which has been
properly poisoned as well as that
which has not been poisoned at all.
* i v ?-.1
J We have not inspected me iieius
where the poisoning has been done
by the Southern Cotton Oil Company,
b:it we have inspected fields where
the poison has been applied, not always
when it should have been applied,
but fairly well, during the summer.
The concensus of opinion of
those who havve watched the experiment
is that the poisoning process
has justified its continuance and it
gives rise to the hope that we may
--j-i
still grow couou piuuwuijj.
we know is the opinion of farmers
about Abbeville.
\ This being true we should turn
our attention to the matter of growing
cotton next year. And the first
suggestion which merits consideration
is a proposal that every farmer who
plants cotton next year shall be required
to poison it for the boll weevii
and keep it poisoned according to
some just and fair plan. It must
be evident that if the weevil can be
controlled by the poison until the
period of migration comes along
with every farmer poisoning, there
would be fewer if any weevils to
migrate, and therefore the ravavges
of the weevil which have been for
years most damaging to the crop in
the period from July 25th. on
through August, may be prevented to
a very large extent. If the results
in other parts of the state have
been as h?.ve been the results here,
legislation to the effect suggested
should be adopted at the coming session
of the General Assembly.
k
The proper and general use of the
poison will keep down the greater
part of the damage to the cotton
which is made, but it will not make
cotton grow even when there is no
weevil. In order to grow cotton
in weevil infested districts, it is
going to be necessary not only to
poison the cotton as best we may,
but to adopt other measures for making
the staple, because all the weevvils
cannot be killed, and it is necessary
to fight those which remain.
To do this properly, several things
are necessary according to the ex
perience of the best farmers who
grow cotton in infested areas. These
are:
First, the early and proper preparation
of the land; second the early
planting; third, heavy fertilization;
and fourth, proper and fast cultivation.
Only the man interested in the
crop itself has an interest to see that
these are done, because it does not
hurt his neighbor if he chooses not
to work, and not to profit byb his
work. ,
But the growing of cotton under
V such conditions as to menace the
crop of his neighbor, and that is
what a farmer does who does not
poison and seek to destroy the weevil,
must be prevented. The big companies
which have constructed dams
have been held in damages because
their dams were breeding places of
mosquitoes, which mosquitoes have
made adjoining lands not habitable
j On the same principle the man who
i
I?..'- . . '
grows cotton, ,and does not poison1
# j
for the weevil, but who allows him to j
breed on his place and then go upon '
: his neighbor and destroy the lat-:
ter's crop may be held liable for(
damages.
j To prevent this, the General As- j
Uembly has a right and it should ^
ti exercise the right to require every
'cotton planter to take such precau-j
'tions as will save his neighbor from:
loss.

11 ALEWINE FAMILY REUNION
?i j
It was the pleasure of the writer j
to have been at the annual reunion'
;of the family of Mr and Mrs. George;
Loyd Alewine near Little River!
ichurch on the 16th day of August!
11922. Their six children,namely: j
I Mrs. John Gilmer of Greenwood,!
iMrs. Spearman Goley of Oconee
j county, J. Arthur Alewine of Abbe-!
I ville, Mrs. Ellis McClain, Newton
j Alewine and Mrs. Melvin Pruitt, the
'two former mentioned living within i
'a few miles of their parents, and *
Mrs. Pruitt who lives with them '
were all present to enjoy the festive
occasion.
They have 23 grand children and
5 great grand children, the most of
them being present and also a num- :
ber of their kinsmen including the
writer. This happy couple have been married
more than 40 years and i
their example is worthy of our emu- <
lation for their walk with God has
been close and they have dealt fair J
with their fellowman and they have 1
always prized honesty and integrity
as their guide in their dealings with
j those with whom they have come in
, contact. Though not rioh in this
! world's goods as we sometimes say,
| they by their noble examples have
jtried to lay up treasures for the upper
and better world. They have liv
i I
,ed their time allotted to man each!
being in their 74th year, there being!
.something: like three months -be-,'
tween their ages. Mrs. Alewine is j
blessed with a sweet musical voice j
and it does everyone good to hearj
her sing the sweet old songs of the I
long ago. During our last protracted j
meeting at Little River she rendered j
some beautiful solos which were
ihighly enjoyed by all.
A bountiful dinner on a table un-i
I
der an oak tree was served and en-!
joyed by every partaker. Chicken,!
pies, custards, cakes, iced tea and
|ether e.itables too numerous to men-j
.t:?n made the table fairly groan;
and enough was left for our suppers!
before leaving for our homes.
Miss Ann Moore and Mrs. Arm-!
(
istrong, cousins of Mrs. Alewine and i
| each of the three not many years j
onavf wore nrpsent Wp all hflflp
each other a happy adieu hoping this!
old couple many more reunions on j
earth and with the hope that we [
might everyone be united in thij
home beyond the skies.
