'A PRESIDENI WANNAMAKER B[LI[VES BOLL W[WVIL WILL PROYm BLSSING Mr. .1. I. Bradham, Bradham Duroce Farm, Manning, S. C. My dear Mr. Bradham: Your letter of August 28th. I re gret very much that it will be impos sible for me to prepare an article, as requested by you, for publication in the Manning Times. I have an enor mous accumulation of duties which it is necessary for me to discharge be fore the Convention of the National Association which will be hold in Montgomery. Alabama, September 1, to 3 rd. The work of the American Cotton Association has grown to such a tremendous volume that toda:y we ahoukj have five separate departments for the National Association in charge of the best experts in the country and each department furnished with a large working force. However, due to the lack of sufficient fipances, I am (ompellei to carry the work on as best I can. I have visited every section of the Cotton Belt and have seen the result of the work of the boll weevil. I have visited the farming sections of various parts of Anmerica; the potate growers of Maine; the wvheat section of the midldle West; and as a result of this I a ppreciate more fully that ever the great p)oibilities of thi South. A man wvho would live in the Soutl and board in the WVest, as a large m-t jority of our farmers have been doini for the last fifty years, is a fool un hinkable and is entitled to the con dlemnation indlicated in the .Bibi where it states that he who fails t provide for his own family is wvors than an infidlel.

We are impressed as never before with the necessity of safe, sane farm ing; the raising of food ard feed crops and of hogs amir cattle, and planting boll weevil is not only at our door but is in our midst and we can only plant cotton as a- surplus crop, it being ab solutely necessary, under boll weevil conditions, to give. the most intensive cultivation to cotton. It should be plowed at least once every week, high ly fertilized and rushed to maturity with all possible speed. ; titm mer, the merchant, the hank er, the business man, who would con tinue to o"rate under boll weevil con ditions the same as heretofore is not only a fool unthinkable but he shouhl receive commitment papers to the lunatic asylum and it should be de signated that at his death he is to be buried in a national cemetary, sep arate and apart from men with com mon sense. If this rule is carried into, effect and force it will result is sav ing a tremendous loss to the agricul tural and commercial life of the South. It most assulradlly wvill enormously re du1ce the cultivated area, as I findl in every section I have visited that many mn prefer to condiuct their farms in the same nmnner in wvhich their great great-grand-fathrs operfated, andt ab solu tely refuse to make any change, regardless of' the inroadls of the boll weevil, until the boll1 wveevil has forced them into bankruptcy 0or poverty. A cemetery large enough to hold these men, as stated, would -require sulli cient burial groundl to enormously re du11ce the cultivated area. In every section of the country I have visitedi where people have co 1operatedl for the purpose of naeking and learn the wisdom of using it. - sell and recommend it--200,000 dtue its quiality.

I am convinced that in Soutl Carolina he is going to briig prosper ity. Ile is going to force our peopl to farm as they should. All of th eggs should not be placed in one bas ket. We should diversify and rotat' We should raise hogs and cattle. I low ever, (do not gain the impres;sion tha we will not continue to raise a grea dleal of cotton.
