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

Pffe News and Courier of the wonder- '

the Piedmont country are making, I

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

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. It transpired that through

favorable seasons a fairly good cotton
crop was made, but it availed the farmeer
nothing, rather putting him in
debt.
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.?
