V * repetition of conditions was noted in the reports of the farmers who were interviewed. One farmer said that he had 600 acres which had produced an average of about 500 bales, but that he would take the price of 25 bales for the entire crop now on the 600 acres. From Bamberg the party traveled through Orangeburg and St. Matthews to Columbia, and the ^fields throughout the whole ride were all of one kind, fine, large weed, with practically 110 fruit mi it.. I FVom Columbia the party traveled by way of Camden. Kershaw and Lancaster to Fort Mill, the earlier arrivals reaching Fort Mill at midnight Wednesday, after a journey of 224 miles from 7:30 o'clock, the whole route being about 385 miles. On the trip from Fort Mil! to ! Columbia the first devastated field was noticed about eight miles north of Columbia. Tin re some of the party stopped to look it over and after resumig their seats in the ears, one member of the party discovered that h-.? was carrying away a boll weevil on ! his knee. The party was told that the laborers coming from the fields frequently found numbers of weevils in their clothes. No doubt the insects are earried great distances by automobiles and railroad trains. Much advice as to what the farmers of this section should do was given by the low-country farmers. Some thought we might be able to muke another fair crop under favorable conditions; others advised that we plant only a few acres to the plow and try to keep the fallen squares picked and burned; still others, and these were the majority, advised thnt lin nnttnn i? ull lw? nluntu.l 1 adding, 44 If you do you are sure to go broke just as we have." There is no doubt but that the unfavorable seasons in the early |Mirt of the summer in the sections traversed by the Fort Mill party had mueh to do with the poor crop and the activity of the weevil. . Rain fell more or less continuously for nearly three months which provided ideal conditions for the boll weevil to multiply and thrive. There were some good roads in the low-country, but as a general proposition the roads were no > better than those of York county. Some stretches were miserable and prompted one driver to say that if he ever kicked again about the road from Fort Mill to Charlotte, he was willing to be kicked. C. S. b. First Bale Brings 20 Cents.
