BAMBERG LOOKS AHKADL News and Courier. (At the meeting of the Stat? Press i Aaaociation in Greenville last week. Mr. R. M. Hitt, of the Bamberg Her- < aid, contributed to the Greenville , Piedmont the article printed below, , which is valuable not only as a re- ( of conditions in Bamberg counbettr. the present time, but also as ( rating the courage and optimOnvith whica the Bamberg people ^attling against the eboll weevil. ^ c. Hitt, talking to the editor of Pffe News and Courier of the wonder- ' ful -prdgress which Greenville and ' the Piedmont country are making, I added: "But in ten years, or sooner, 1 flip lnu* pnnnt rv ?o wnincr o V* oo ^ fn ? /%*? 1 than this upper country ever dreamed 1 of doing."

Hitt, Bamlfcrg Herald.) 1 one of the few "boll weevil" i r^W'sentatives present at the Press ! Association, I would bring ihe people ?' l^e Piedmont a message of i cheer. I speak of the cotton boll wee- ( vil because in our county (Bamberg) ] it is foremost in the minds of not only < fie farmers, but the business people i .1 all lines. 1 \ I have repeatedly stated that the i boll weevil is the friend of the South, 1 and after experiencing business in an i inlected area, for several years, I re- ' peat the assertion. Our farmers last ( year had an estimated loss of 25 per i cent, to 33 1-3 per cent, in their cot- 1 ton production because of the weevil. ( The preceding year the loss was slight but there were sufficient numbers of ] the pest to convince the average planx ter that as a money crop cotton could not again be depended on. Consequently the past year far less cotton was planted notwithstanding the allurement of 40 cents a pound. The largest crops on record of com. peas, potatoes, velvet beans, etc., were planted. In the fall these crops ncic um yesieu iiuu Biureu, una today I believe our people could live for months without importing any food,.if necessary, and it is necessary to live at home, for few farmers have money with which to buy. As events' later turned out. the planting of; these crops was found to liave been aj great blessing, for the harrowing fi-i nancial depression arrived with the; harvest.

Greenville County does net look with favor, perhaps on the approach of the weeviL Neither did Bamberg, and it still doee not, but it is an undisputed fact that our county has more food, including cattle and hogs, than ever before, and this condition would not have prevailed but for the visit of the cotton pest. I cannot attempt a discussion of the boll weevil, but I will say that the weevil is not taking possession of the great Southern section of the State without a stiff fight. The weevil is being fought successfully and it can be stated with reasonable certainty] that five or six acres of cotton may be cultivated to the plow, from which in average yield may be expected by reason of intensive cultivation, poisoning, picking the forms, etc. This may not be interesting to your people now, but it will be, probably in two years. Five acres of cotton per plow will not bring the farmer much money, even with good prices. Therefore, it becomes necessary to introduce other crops. Leading farmers in our secLion take the position that every crop that can be grown and marketed j should be planted- This will make' the farmer absolutely independent,' and will go further toward th de-1 velopment of the South than any other agency. The mighty resources of our State have been dormant, lo, these many years. If the boll weevil can induce the development of our latent resources, who will say It is not our friend.? FINAL.
