BQU. WEEVIL DEVASTATES
(Continued from page 1.)
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.
