ADOPT NEW PLAN
TO FIGHT WZEVIL
W. 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.

j "From whatever sources add.nons
; funds are secured, it should be wit
j the understanding that this fund wi
. be continued for not only next yea
but for several years to come. 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? Lm- .c v 4-U

| necessary number of men for eac
! group. In .this way you can secur
j a close organization that necessaril;
i will mean more effective work t
i meet the situation. Under thi
i all flip nennlp will hear thei
| IllVbllVU U*? 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

! 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
