If the people of this State will listen to facts they will nut be hurt by the boll weevil, 'if thev <lo not give heed, they may suffer. But the weevil would a not have done much harm In some parts f of South Carolina that we have seen. .. The cotton did not come up nt all and - there was an excellent crop of crab t grass which provident farmers cone verted Into hay. We t>elleve the hay crop this year will be the l?est In the il country's history. The peavlne hay crop Is nearly twice as large as the I best fomer crop. s According to the Hurtsboro, Ala., Tribune a farmer who owned a banker - took me name ninu to Ills rnrui y ami i>oiuted out 100 acres In i>eniiuts. s The hanker was so im|>essed with the I wonderful sight that he mude tlx1 t farmer the proposition to cancel his h *iote and give $5,000 additional for ' the peanuts as they stood. The furiner accepted. Already the hanker has y sold the iteanuts for $0,800 and has ' $1,800 worth of fliie hay on hand. II The holl weevil cannot?resist such an offensive as peanuts and peavlnc '* hay. He knows hut one method of " attack and the wise man will find a way to take that line of fighting away y from Mr. Weevil.
