W. Long Has Idea of Continued Production?Movement indorsed. Following the recommendation of HV. W. Long of Clemson college. Dr. W. M. Riggs and D. W. Watkins of Clemson, a radical change vas effected at the meeting of the Anti-Boli Weevil association and interested parties here yesterday. Under the new plan adopted by the entire con ference counties where the pest is present in large numbers will be grouped into units of three and men experienced in handling the boll weewil employed to work these districts and fight the pest. The funds will be supplied by the various counties by the county supply bill in the general assembly, if the plan recommended yesterday is perfected. Clemson college and the department or agriculture of the United .States would have control of the men rand direct the work in the various srroups. Under the plan of Mr. Long khnnt 90 fonnties would be arcuDed into ten groups for fighting the weevil. While this is an abandonment of the first idea adopted here some rtime ago it does not mean the abolition of the Anti-Boll Weevil association, but rather a strengthening of this body which will cooperate and | aid in directing the work in the j groups for eliminating the weevil in 1 the state. Those attending the meeting inrlndinc members of the execu ?c y ? o -i t - tive committee of the Anti-Boll Weevil association, and interested business men from over the state approved the new idea and it will be recommended to the various county delegations for action. Must Produce Cotton. 1 W. W. Long, who advocated the j "county fieht plan, in speaking of the j , new scheme diliered materially with cotton leaders in the state and advo- j cated the continuance of raising cotzton where it was possible and said he | - wjls not one of the men who wanted j to -see the South's great staple crop j abandoned. The boll weevil is no in disguise. but a calamity ! & ... ?^_ l undisguised, -was Dr. Long's state- j ment. Mr. Long was emphatic in his j statement that he waSs not in favor j of cban^onine the cotton crop of i the outh, but thought diversification | should be practiced enough to per-! mit a farmer to well care for his! " wsjits and then plant cctton. Dr. W. | U. Riggs, president of Clemson col-, lege, heartily endorsed Mr. Long's plan as did Dr. J. N. Harper of the soil improvement committee of the Southern fertilizer association. , These three men are among the | - South's leading citizens and their ad-; nri 11 v?a fnllowpd bv manv South v iVV 1? AAA _ Carolinians. Following is the address of Mr. Long in which the new plan for fighting the weevil is outlined and some very interesting statements .about rs;sing cotton: v"'il3 I understand it, the object of this "meeting is to formulate plans for .raising $25,000 by the oil mill men, ^bankers. automobile association and other interested parties, the sum secured to be turned over to Clemson college to be used in its campaign in meeting boll weevil conditions. "The acceptance of this sum involves a matter of policy that I have no right to discuss and that can only be taken up by the president, who is i. 1 - -ill y am sure, be present <inu vviii' -J?., - , glad to present any proposition you can make to the Clemson colle.ee board of trustees.

I order to accomplish anything, the at ditional men proposed must be left i the field for some 'years. You mus I ; understand that little can be accon i plished in one year, and the amour i of money you hope to raise will onl ! employ five or six men and the wor | naturally will be of a propagand i.character rather than that of close 01 J ganization, which to my mind is at I solutelv necessarv if real results ar I ' j to be accomplished. Speaks of New Plan. j "After conferring with Dr. Riggs j it seemed to Mr. Watkins and mysel j.that the wise thing to do will be t group the counties where the infes tation is present?say, three countie to a group?and let the, legislativ i representatives provide the funds i; I a.? 1?

V*4W w^.%. ..... j proportionate part of the expense i To secure these appropriations w j must have your great influence. | "There are two other features t j connection with this boll weevil situ | ation that I think it well to call t j your atention: First, I am not one o those who subscribe to the doctrin i that the boll weevil is a blessing ii disguise. I hold that his presence* i a calamity undisguised. The Sout] is naturally a cotton producing sec tion; its most profitable crop is cot ton. Would you call a pest that de stroyed the corn crop of Iowa or th ! wheat crop of Kansas or hog choleri I in the pork producing states a bless (ing in disguise? Do you believe tha [ the people in those sections, wher j they have had the boll weevil for sev | oral years, are as prosperous as th< people in our own state, where th weevil has done, as yet, but littl damage? Their bank accounts an< land values compared >vith ours wil show that they are not. Don't yoi believe if they had never been in flicted with this pest they would b just as prosperous as we are today' Tf fVn'c ic trnp t.hen whv all this tall about the bell weevil being a bless ing in disguise? We do not need th< ! boll weevil to help us establish a safi ; and sane agriculture in South Caro | Iina. Our people are gradually grow ing into a system of diversification, a is proven by the fact that there ar< more hogs and other live stock in th I fUo-n of on it tin-id in tVlP last ill | liian au ail J v?4?v i years, and here are a greater num i ber of farmers each year producing the necessary supplies to run thei farms. "The second feature is that it wil be the policy of the extension ser vice to advise against the reduction of cotton production for next year Do not understand that we are advo eating in the heavily infested coun ties the same acreage to the plow \ WG D61I6Ve tnaL me imitict C4JL IV i producing: the food necessary fo > man and beast on the farm, shoul (produce every bale of cotton that the; I possibly can. We do not believe it ; ! wise policy to reduce productioi when the prices are higher than the; have been in a great many years an the world is demanding greater pre | duction.
