C. 1 ' Terms of Subscription: One Year $2.00: Six Months $1.00' ? 1 * 50 i'nree aiomns ... _ AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION J Foreign Advertising Representative WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 13, 1922 FOR DOUBTING THOMASES ' Those farmers of Abbeville, County who still think that it doeSj not pay to use calcium arsenate for J the poisoning of the boll weevil need not go to Anderson County for proof that they are wrong. The " farm of Mr. W. A. Calvert three miles South of the city, or his other! farm within the corporate limits, j will furnish proof of the efficiency of i the poison, and that beyond a reasonable doubt. On the Hagan place, South of the city, Mr. Calvert has a large field i of cotton. Some of it is on highly improved land, and some on lands which are not so well improved. The cotton on the improved part of the . field is large and flourishing, well fruited and with the fruit matured. ( Bolls will be found all the way to the top of the stalks, showing that , the prison did its worn to tne ena of the fight. The cotton on the poorer lands is as good in proportion. On the lands within the city limits, which by the way are more fertile, the cotton is in keeping with the soil. It bears the same evidence, as j does the other cotton, that calcium J arsenate is the salvation of the cot-1 ton growing farmer. Some other things are brought out' by an inspection of Mr. Calvert's! various fields of cotton. One of these ' things is that cotton may be produced under boll weevil conditions, as well on fine fertile lands as on1 the . thinner lands. Except in very low lands, there does not seem to be any advantage in the one kind of land over the other kinds, so far as the weevil is concerned. But the principal thing which must J, be learned is that the fight against j the boll weevil is a fight which can;; be waged only by the thoughtful and : the industrious. The weevil can bej( whipped only by proper application j, and by intelligent cultivation. The', man in town who never visits his!, farm and who has been getting hisj, two bales to the plow every year is:? now no longer a farmer. He must', look elsewhere for an income. Eith-1, er he will go back to the farm him-!, self, or his lands will prove an in-'_ vestment on which he will pay taxes,1' and if he undertakes to farm, pay , losses every year. j But, as indicated, there is hope 1 for those who think and those who i work. We are at the threshold of i another day of prosperity, but it is > not going to be the prosperity of the! - * - 4-1**. 4- 11'Viif)Vi ! , past^ H IS IIUU uiai piuoytiiwj Hmviin comes now and then to him who waits., but that move logical pros-' perity which comes to him who} works.

Mr. Swearingen's in-1 ability to give consideration to the j opinions of others, and his dictate-1 rial manner in handling the affairs j pertaining to his office, made many j people unfriendly to him. But it must be said in fairness to | ti,?i v>/> ,i;,i i Clit: uacoicu Luuuiuubu uua nv; uau a good part for the public schools of < the state. The very qualities which; made him unpopular and which c-aus- j ed his defeat made for the better-j ment of the schools of the state, j Without a man of determination such as he was and is the schools [ would not be what they are today. Of course there is much yet to be done. From what we hear of Mr. Swearingen's successor he is interested in the upbuilding of the schools. We only hope that he may be able to do as much for the schools [ as has his predecessor. If he does, j the state will not lose by the defeat of his opponent. SMITH SEEKS IDEAS j' ! i Senator Wants Expressions From Cotton Growers. Washington, Sept. 12.?Expressions from cotton growers and others interested in the cotton industry j on plans for fighting the cotton boll, weevil by abandoning cotton acreage in prescribed areas were asked to- [ night by Senator Smith (Democrat) of South Carolina, following his receipt from Dr. E. D. Ball, chief of j the scientific work of the depart- j ment of argiculture, of a memorandum on the subject. i Declaring that it would not be j feasible to stop all cotton production i for a time to drive out the weevil j Dr. Ball's report stated that success j might be achieved through abandon-j ins production in certain districts throughout the cotton belt. This isj the plan favored by Senator Smith and he proposes to bring the question before the senate. Legislation to ratify agreements between the cotton growing states j for limiting a certain amount of j cotton acreage in each state was riifreested by Dr. Ball.
