Thursday" nov. io, 1921.
There will be 110 yreat amount
o; surprise in this country if the
sot ailed arms conference which is
t c? meet in Washington Saturday
with accredited representatives
in attendance from all the more
important nations of the world
comes to an end with nothing
substantial having been accomplished
to reduce the war preparations
which have gone on for
the last three years at great speed
and on a more extensive scale
than ever in America, England.
Japan and perhaps other countries.
The influence of the president
of th?' United States is allpervading,
and some months ago
President Harding was quoted as
saving that too much need not he
expected of the conference and
that this country was not prepared
to go as far in insisting upon a
reduction of armament as some
people desired. By this statement
t he president showed indifference
to the work of the conference.
\< wspaper readers will recall
that there was considerable contention
in Congress over the
wording of the resolution request,1
,r
...? |vi rniuni 1 10 Call T lit* COIlf?
rence ami that the resolution
finally adopted was not what In*
Mould have had. This circumstance
may or may not have been
resented by the president, but in
any event he does not seem to
have been cfVerburdencd with en
thusiasm over the plans for relieving
a distraught world of the
possibility of a recurrence of the
cataclysm which all but engulfed
civilization from 11)14 to 1919.
Possibly he was preoccupied with*
la ving plans for his regular weekend
pleasure trips. If the people
I ilie various nations to be represented
at the conference could
have their way a program of almost
total disarmament would be
agreed upon, but unfortunately
those who suffer most from war
and the nightmare of ever preparing
for war will have few
okrsnieu at the conference.
rri!??rt? will In* an abundance of
talk about tin1 good will ono for
the other of tin* nations partieipaling
in tin* conference and the
universal desire to lessen the danget
of armed conflicts, but when
the test eonies. which one of the
gteat powers will step to the
ft ont and declare itself the orthodox
church by saving, "We are
ready and anxious to discontinue
building battleships und making
other war preparations. Will the
other first class nations join us?"
If any such proposition is made
it will come front (Ireat Britain
which, more than any other nation,
has entered the conference
with a genuine desire to tlo something
to relieve suffering human
ity. The United States! In the
background of everything there
looms the almighty dollar. We
must think first with tender solicitude
of the battleship builders
the steel manufacturers and the
munitions makers. !
lliouirv disc lone* tt??? 1
lion that few of the farmers of I
the Fort Mill community are tak |
iii?; steps to insure themselves ad- j
vantage over the boll weevil next |
yeur. At best the insect is hard
to sombat, but from the experienee
of other sections of the cot- <
ton belt in which th^ farmers !
have had to contend with it for !
years helpful lessons may be learned.
One of the best methods yet
discovered for stuying the rava- !
gcs of the pest seems to be the
plowing under of of old cotton
stalks in the early fall. Government
tests show, as was pointed
out in the news columns of The
Times last week, that with tht
early destruction of the stalks
from which the cotton has been (
> >
gathered great numbers of wee
vils are deprived of food on
which to exist throughout the
winter and that the danger of destruction
of the next crop by the
pest is correspondingly decreased
ir:AL ? -?
nuu iew exceptions, tne i?rmers
of this section are intelligent,
informed men. They know of I he
grout loss brought to praetieai'y
the tntire cotton belt by tlu invasion
of the boll weevil. Not
one perhaps in a dozen retains
the opinion, formerly held by
many, that the latitude of this
section could be depended upon
to protect the cotton crop from
damage by the little brown bug
that crossed the Rio (Jrande 1?
years ago to cost the South un
counted millions. Having seen on
their own farms and the farms uf
their neighbors during the pros
ent year the damage wrought by
limited numbers of the weevil,
they know now that it must b?
taken seriously and plans laid to
thwart its evil work if e\en a
half erop of cotton is to he raised
in this section in lH'J'J. This being
true, one may lie pardoned
for wondering why such plans
are not already hcing put ni<??
force generally. The Times t a Ives
no stoek in the hysteria which
here aiul there lias seized an individual
farmer or business man
over the advent of the lull weevil.
because with as good soil .n
is to he found in almost an\ see
tion of the country and with .1
climate the superior of which exists
nowhere, the work of ilie bol!
weevil will not mean irreparable
damage to this section unless our
farmers sit down and do 110'hing
to protect themselves. I?rd it is 1
well to recognize' conditions as j
they are and not wait until the
thief has come along to steal the ,
horse before we lock the door |
The boll weevil is here. a.id here 1
to stay. The day of big niton
eiops apparently is a thing of the
past. Fortunately, how eve e >;
ton is not the only thing tb it 1I1
soil of this section will produce, j
although in the past it has meant
a bigger return in dollars than
other crops. That is why the j
farmers have stuck to it .is the..' I
should have done. But now it
would seem the nart of wisdom !
;'or the farmer, with the changed
-oiiditioiis confronting him, to
urn his attention to the sowing
of wheat, oats and cover crops :
luring tliis fall season and to hegin
planning to raise next year
the home supplies which have
heretofore heen shipped ui from
?ther sections.
