Br WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8, 1922 Co an; FARMS AND FARMERS. Mc Le ; f . In the low country there are pro- Dii gressive farmers and farmers not so rej progressive. The boll weevil has been there a year or so longer than it has ar| been here and the people have learn- ya ed to fight it. They have learned ^hat Wi cotton cannot be grown unless a ris consistent fight is made on the weeI, vil. ' . Re From the trains one is able to pick r out the farms of the progressive far- ?c mers. All these farms are clean now, be the cotton having been gathered, thejlai cotton stalks cut and the land turn-.H. ed. Nothing is left on which the wee-jRu vil can feed until frost. The result,La will be, as the authorities tell us, jW: that the weevil will either starve be-^Ed fore frost comes, or he will be forced, dr r * * i r* into his winter quarters early and Sa will ba thus forced to stay there I much longer, with the chances in-jEi creased that he will die before. Sa spring and thus be removed as a des- j Os troyer of early cotton. Not only do So the authorities tell us this but prac-jLc tical farmers in the low country are, Be finding it true, else they would not wj be doing this extra work at this.Cs BS I season. j w< The farmers of Abbeville County! not only have the benefit of the ad-|^' vice from the weevil experts, buti^1 they have in addition the testimony r^1 "Pt . "v of these good farmers in the low, * country that it pays to turn the stalks. j?( We are having some good weath-j^ er now and it would seem that if the! ^ I ' people:of this county expect to make, ii, %. cotton next year they would be do- J ing all that is necessary to get rid of, Ec the weevil. They should be turning! Mi ufider the cotton stalks. i'H< I Unfortunately there are some who,1'? ^ ' will not believe anything that is told. them. They will not destroy cotton j Li. il&lks, neither will they apply poisoner it should be applied. The re-!S01 suit is that their fields furnish aj^a means of living for the weevil in the jfall season and a means of surviving ^<3 in the spring. In the summer they La allow weevils to multiply their numbers so that when the migration Es period comes, these weevils go on ^1 the lands of other farmers and there j?" seriously damage the cr?ps of those |^u who have done their best. |^e The numbers of these farmers will jragradually decrease. They must be!nr shown. But the more* progressive,531 and the more influential farmers in every community may help to decrease the numbers of these less progressive farmers by giving the latter good advice, and otherwise en- ^e CQuraging them to take steps forjtei their own protection and to keep|^e from harming their neighbors. Most|t01 men do not like to occupy the posi-j?*1 tion of being or maintaining a nui- ^ sance in the neighborhood in which they live, but the farmer who raises boll weevils which destroy the crops ? ,. . .* . , . pi i oi nis neignoors must sooner or later)* *' realize that he is not doing much for j ^ the general good in his neighborhood. jH< The people will not cry when he Co moves on. ?!

DENIAL BY CHESTER . -Ready to Prove Eligibility of Football Players. , Chester, [Nov. 7\?A dispatch from Abbeville Saturday, which was given general publicity in the newspapers throughout the state, says that complaint has been made to the football committee of the state "high school league, that Chester and, Roik.Hill Jiave been unomfficially reported as having "ringers" on their football teams. There has been much talk of this in the Catawba association. The game between York and Rock Hill last Friday was called after the first quarter on account of Mr. Montgoncry, superindent of the York school claiming that Nims and Schult? of Rock Hill were ineligible. He refused to start the game with those two men in it when Schulte was put in at the end of the first quarter he demanded that he bo taken out Rock Hill refused to> do so and the game ended. Chester regrets exceedingly that it has been' accused o<f having "ringers" on the team and wishes to as sure the public that such is not me case. Chester stands ready and willing to prove beyond any doubt the eligibility of any player or players whose eligibility might be questional ! Chester <Jpes not ask that the eligibj ility of a player be proven by others | but will take the initiative and prove [the eligibility of each and every } player to the satisfaction of all. I The people of Chester, the school officials and the students regret exceedingly that Chester has been accused of unfair methods and stand ready at any moment to submit pi^oof of the eligibility of every player. It is locally hoped the the officials of the association will thrash the matter throughly as Chester is only tool anrioug to prove its team clean throughout.
