A sign-up day will soon be held fn Oconee county with tho co-operation of the local committeemen appointed last week, and with tho aid of other signers who are interested. In the meantime, those who have not studied the contract or Utera; ture concerning tho co-operative marketing of cotton should do so by getting in touch with the County Campaign Director, the County Agent or local,committeemen. Per< sons who are not yet convinced of the absolute soundness of tho move ment should get in touch with Carl Williams, president of the Cotton Growers' Association at Oklahoma City, Okla.

V BoU Weevils ia 108?. A recent report from Dr. Goad, V?\ expert in charge of the laboratory of the U. S. Department of Agriculture at Tallulah.Ala., states that the larg: est number of boll Weevils In history have withstood the winter, accordr lng to experiments conducted there. At fifteen selected points the moss from trees was gathered and exam ined, with the result that 127 live weevils per ton of moss were found, with only 2.2 dead weevils per ton found. <Last year 22 live weevils were found and 26 dead per ton. Ex periments with cages placed over hi bernation material In the fields show ed a large number surviving also. The spring ' when the smallest number survived, according to the experiments, was the spring of 1918, when only 1.7 live weevll3 per ton of moss were found, and 18.9 dead weevils. Now, of course, condition? in Oco nee county are different from con dition? in the delta of Louisiana as far as winter survival of weevils is concerned. And another great factor will be the dryness or wetness of the summer. A very dry ,sdmtner will tend to offset great dam?ge, while a wet summer will increase damage. Even though the figures do.not truly represent Oconee coun ty, they signify very strongly that it will be folly to prepare to plant a large acreage to cotton. A conser vative acreage that can be well han dled and rushed along seems to be the safest way to proceed. Prof. Conrad!, Entomologist ai Clemson, will give out information at an early dato regarding local con ditions. Oeo. R. Briggs, County Agent.
