Lewis, director of thT bureau of animal industry under thf United States department of agrieul ture in Colum'bia, has Just returnee from a trip into a number of th« coastal counties. Dr. Lewis is vitally interested ir arousing the people of the state tc the menace of the boll weevil, which is invading the southwestren cornet of the state. The invasion of thk pest will compel the farmers to tun from the cultivatl J of cotton to live stock raising, as the presence of the weevil means that for many years once the pest has arrived, production of cotton will be practicaly impossi Me. Land values will commit the statf to two distinct efforts to meet thf emergency. Dr. Lewis says that ir the lower half ’of the state the land? are cheaper and the growing of live stock for beeves will be the natural sequence of conditions. Inability to . finance purchases of cattle for fattening purposes Is onf of the greatest handicaps the farmer:- now face. 'Dr. Lewis says.

Banking houses In the West follow this plan. Bill for Soldiers' Relief.
