A. Evans, of Washington, D. j A C., was ift Abbeville this morning tojtv I discuss with the farmers of the city a 101 and county the subject of growing! I C( cotton under boll weevil conditions. I ?? Mr. Evans has bee? connected with the United States Department of 01 HI Agriculture for a number of years, ^ feeing one of the first demonstration [ S3 agents ever appointed. In addition El' * ,T to this he has been engaged in fighting the boll weevil for seventeen ' 6C years and is prepared to give sound j -J?-? __ IV |a^ I advice on tut; suujeuu One of the things Mr. Evans said, j i tr which by the way is overlooked very 1 ?o often, is that the fight against the i. weevil cannot be waged the samejar I way under all conditions and in all C0 cv localities. Referring to the advice or sent out last spring that the poisoni w. ing of the weevil be deferred until I ten per cent, of the squares were] r punctured. Mr. Evans stated that he M believed this sound advice in the Delta country, but here, where the plants grow only about a foot high j and when comparatively few bolls: tii | > ever grow on the single plant, he be-1 H J- lieved the fight should commence ac early, and be made consistently. I oi This has been the experience we be- j ec lieve of those who have undertaken' p: to poison the weevil this year. If j pi .1 the old weevils can be killed as they KVj I come from their hiding places in the nc winter, and if the squares are kept: 3( picked up in the early season, there i es is no reason why cotton cannot be ] fa p. grown. j or Mr. Evans emphasized the ad-:m vantages to be gained from plowing j la under the cotton stalks. The weevil ^ bi does not eat when he is in his place ra of hibernation. But until that time th he doe^ eat, and his food at this ac season of the year is the green ar leaves on the cotton plartt. If these hs are destroyed, there is a space of ye time between then and frost when vi many of the weevils will starve to ar death. It is for this reason that a ha movement just now is on foot to in- ea djice planters everywhere to destroy L< their stalks as soon as the cotton isj^ j* .picked. T] Mr. Evans believes "strongly in the poisoning of the weevil by the calcium arsenate method. He believes ^ with the authorities of his department that dusting is the best method, but he is not prepared to say j , | d ? anything against methods which other people find effective. He, however, I ^ eavs that the experiments of the),. ! li< department to which he is attached I " I cl hdve shown dustir.g to be the best:, method of applying the poison. He j1 thinks the dust will be cheaper in a j few years and that the means of ap-| cc plying it will be made more effcc-Jf tive, as will also the poison itself. } m Mr. Evans holds out encouragement to the man who has determined i a to whip the fight. He says that can j " be done without poison even. We ' are < not prepared to follow him all j the way, because in*years like the vlast two years, we do not believe 'i cotton can be grown here successful-! * ly without it, Certainly not in those j S1 sections where the infestation has! ^ , t ... .... j Jbeen so great. Farmers in McCor- j Vy Tnick County, and in the lower sec-1 tion of Abbeville County, will bearl us out in this opinion we believe. Ci However, he has this to say, and i o there is something in it, that every' tl man will get the benefit of his own j h work in trying to fight the weevil. Until the period of migration comes g -1- - M J 4- nkmif "i me weevn uues nut mun much, and does not go from one o field to another. During this period c the early crop is grown and the far- b mer who is able to keep the weevil S whipped during this period may make sure of a crop. I Mr. Evans advocates the work of c soil-building and of growing feed ? and food crops as an effective means of helping with the fight. People here have learned the lesson we think h - MASTER'S SALE The State of South Carolina, COUNTY OF ABBEVILLE. Court of Common Pleas. Mrs. Lucia Morris Robinson, I Plaintiff, hat they cannot produce only coton and hope to get along on the arms. More and more they will earn to make the farms self-suplorting. We have experimented some ourelves with the weevil, and while we ielieve with Mr. Evahs that every lan gets the benefit of his own work i the early stages of the fight aainst the weevil, it is undoubtedly :ue that when the period of migraon comes, the weevil moves from le badly infested field into the field f the farmer who has been making fight against the weevil. In one of le fields of which we have knowlJge and which we observed closely, le weevil came in from the field of J farmer who did not use poison,! nd destroyed the cotton in the, oisoned area for a hundred yards. J nother farmer who poisoned onlyj vice, but who had cotton adjoining I field which was poisoned told us! ily Saturday that he made his best >tton adjoining the field where the >tton was poisoned. A difference of jinion in this matter may be due id probably is due to the fact f tat some of the late cotton may be 1 ,ved by poisoning while heretofore 1 .e late crop has been abandoned to ie weevil. However, we are inclin- I to the belief that a farmer who 1 lows the weevils to breed in his ;ld without taking means of des-|! oying them is harboring a menace:1 his more industrious neighbor p id should not be allowed to plant I1 tton. If necessity does not drive J' PoY*maT in Hio' cnnn+.r +r? nr?is-1 ling for the weevil, the law finally h ill, we believe. And it should.

He is determined to;, ear up this North Carolina mystery i he can. j Recently an expert on his own ac-1 >unt, went to the state and made, careful study of the alleged mov-'( "" lijfiit. He s'ded with the govern-,; cot experts in the conclusion that: i locomotive on the Southern rail- j ay carried one* of the lights. "When our map is completed said ( ir. Smith, "it will be easier to con--; nor,' visitors to western North Caro ;:a just how the light is produced."' The finding of the National Geo-' raphic society which is considerolj v* some the la=t word in such things! I orries tho experts of the federal j overnmeot.
