fAPT. W. SMITH LANGFORD WRITES INTERESTING LETTER, Col. E. H. Aull, Newberry, S. C. Dear Colonel: I am herewith enclosing a clipping from The Wichita Daily Times of th^? 18th, relative to a Boll Weevil fight on here. I have noticed that the farmers of my native State and county are investigating the 'boll weevil and they surely should do so. The> would play havoc with Newberry county should they ever reach there. The information contained in this clipping may be of interest and possibly of alue in the future. The boll weevils damaged the cotton crop of this county considerably last year but not quite so much this season. I know you are interested in the "welfare of the farmers of Newberry -county and if you so desire, I will send you any information I may get that would assist in destroying the boll weevil, or keeping them out 01 the county. Personally, I would be very glad to be of any assistance to them. $% The principal products of this part of the State are wheat and cotton. It is also an oil center and money is! plentiful. The City National Bank, of j winch Mr. P. P. Langford, is Active Vice President, has deposits amount- j ing to over two million and a quar-! i ter. Lots of money, eh? I receive my paper regularly now and appreciate it very much, I assure you. It sounds as though you tiave my friend, Dick Greneker with you again. Good luck to you both. j With best wishes and personal regards, I am, Yours very truly, IW. Smith Langford. "WILL AID IN FIGHT AV RftTT WW VII.1.1 V*' 1/VJJXJ TV JUU V . ' j: 4 Many Agree to Plow Cotton Stalks Under As Soon as Crop is Gathered. ' 1 t J. W. Campbell, government* demonstration agent for this county is making an earnest effort to destroy j * the boll weevils that have infested this district during che past season,! and to that end he announces that lie will make a thorough canvass of j the county in an effort' to induce as j many farmers <as possible to turn 1 j their cotton stalks under as early as possible after the present crop has teen gathered. It has been demon- ! strated by government tests that this' is the best means of checking the ravages of the pest and lie is anxious to obtain the best results possible 'before pl-anting another crop. In a very short canvass one day last week he obtained a large number of signers at Burkburnett, pledging themselves to this plan of the gov eminent tor destroying xne weevu and in a short time in this city Saturday he received a number of signatures of those interested irf the production of cotton, promising to carr) cut the idea suggested in the government bulletin. Mr. Campbell expects to make an effort to see every man in Wichita county wh.0 is interested in the production of cotton, and will include not only those -who are actually farm ing, but all who have land*upon which the staple is raised. , The petition that Is being circulat-j ed <and the names secured in the few! hours work in this -city, is as follow*: j "It paving 'been demonstrated by! the government experimental stations j that the breaking of the cotton stalk land, and turning the stalks under In the early fall as soon as the crop is I gathered, kills and destroys some 80 in Q/V no*, nont r?f flip hnll Weevils.
