ASSOCIATION JL iVAJk/M Foreign Advertising Represe^tativo MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1922 THE NEED: A PULL TOGETHER. I Some of the county newspapers of South Carolina are urging upon their cotton-growing readers the necessity for early action against the boll weevil if they expect to make a successful fight. And they are explaining ,'i that the first and most effective move, offensive and defensive, is the immediate total destruction (preferN ably by deeply plowing under) of this year's cotton stalks, and otherwise cleaning the fields, so that the weevil may be deprived of its favorM ' ite places for hibernation during cold f--t. weather. This method demands a change in the procedure on the average South Carolina farm; it requires that pre- , paration for the crop of one year , shall begin in October?or at the latest, November?of the preceding year. Under the changed conditions imposed by the advent of the destructive weevil, changed methods and. greater energy are necessary if the cotton growers are to make a living. But they can win if they follow the counsel of the experts. The Pageland Journal very truly says: "It is possible to make cotton in ' V spite of the weevil but it can only be done at the price' of eternal vigil} . . ance and constant work. Grass must , not be allowed to grow under one's feet. It is a fight to a finish where ' the farmer will win or lose; where the weevil will triumph or be destroyed." The certain thing is that, following the rules set down by scientific experimenters and as promul- , gated time and again by the scientist^ of Clemson College and of the National Department of Agriculture, the cotton-grower CAN win. The way has been fountj. But he needs to have it not only pointed out, but emphasized as the right way and the only way. The big farmer is pulling out; it is the small farmers?the ^ tens of thousands of them?who need : information and encouragement. "Unfortunately." says The Press |' and Banner of Abbeville in empha-|' sizing the need of progressive meas-j' ures, "there are some who will notj( believe anything that is told them. ^ They will not destroy cotton stalks, ? neither will they apply poison when it should be applied. The result is 1 that their fields furnish a means of 1 living for the weevil in the fall season anil a means of surviving in the : spring. In the summer they allow ; weevils to multiply their number so ' that when the migration period comes 1 these weevils go on to the lands of < other farmers and there seriously 1 damage the crops of those who have done their best." Truly pitiful it is x1 *- TITAvV ' tniiv su many uiuusitiiua vi uoiu-..vi.. | ing farmers will rally to a politician who promises to support some meas- : are that may or may not save them ten dollars a year in taxes, and yet will give little or no attention to the scientific expert without selfish aims, who is prepared to demorfstrate how, < by a little effort, the yield of cotton may be increased from 50 to 100 per cent! And cotton, at this writing, is worth $130 a bale! In the long run only the followers of scientific methods will survive in the cotton-growing business; the others must inevitably fall by the wayside. But the period of needless loss and disaster to the cotton-grower and needless depression in general business throughout this section can be greatly shortened in fact, practically eliminated, should every alert interest concerned in the immediate triumph of progressive measures join in a campaign to impress upon those now going their deaf, unreasoning way to bankruptcy, the folly of not accepting and following the leadership of scientists and other experts in the cotton-growing industry. There is need of a general, united .IV. "pull together!"?The State. - ' .5i -Aiti ...v..
