Company, 9 Wadesboro, N. C. I am In receipt of your favor of the, 31 ult. and glad to give the information asked for. Our county has suffered about 50 per cent loss of crop this year. Very slight loss last year, r And if we have a warm winter and a wet spring and summer there will be 90 per cent loss in crops next year, r The writer has been through mid. die Georgia and it is Impossible to tell of the awrui conditions or some sections in Georgia. Middle Georgia is one year ahead of our section In , boll weevil trouble. They are having the trouble this year that we are look, ing for next year. Middle Georgia farmers and mer chants are broke. The merchants are waiting to see what their creditors will do with them. Those who have not already bankrupted are waiting for their creditors to make a move to put them in. As you know we have a varied line of business. Our principal business in Atlanta is selling saw mills, engines and boilers. And our business here is manufacturing harness, hackbands and cotton mops, therefore we are up against any kind of customers. 20 per cent of our merchants and customers are already in bankruptcy, another 20 per cent is offering settle* , ment of 20 to 40 per cent on their debts. The sawmill business Is the only business making good in middle Georgia, and in fact middle Georgia people are living on the lumber business. Farmers who own timber are selling it to get money to pay for fertilizer and farm supplies. The tenants of farms are getting Jobs with sawmill people. Merchants are aelling no goods, can't pay for what they have bought, and wont buy any goods except certain amounts of staple groceries. Thpsfi fnrmprn thnno-ht th?v rnnlH make one more crop before the boll weevil got them. I would suggest that you take your party by Augusta. Oa. Take the Qa. R. R. to Sparta and Millldgevllle, ther take the Central Qa. to Batonton,1 Monticello and to Macon, and from there to Savannah. Through this section they are making les3 than one bale of cotton to thr plow. It is no usual thing to see' women begging bread on the street. Last week I saw a negro man wor' ing at the sawmill with pieces of automobile casings tied on his feet for shoes. v ? If we have an extremely cold win. ter and a dry hot spring and summer there will be some cotton made next year, but with the reverse season our * county and your county will be in the same condition that the section I have referred to. It is the history of the country from; Texas to Carolina that the farmers will take one more chance on a cotton crop until they are ruined. Th second year and the third years are usually the worse years. After two or three years the farmers learn to live without so much cotton. Very little has been done to defeat the progress of the boll weevil. All the things that you see written will help provide all the farmers, will use these preventatives, and for a while in the spring people think they are handling it, but if the spring and sum. mer is cool and rainy there is nothing that heads him off in his work of (Jestrucfion, and means "bankruptcy and ruin for a larere per cent of farmers and merchants. Mr. A. D. Robertson, "Winder, Ga. is the farm demonstration agent for this county, and is a good safe man and will be glad to give you any information of assistance that he can. Yours truly, G. W. WOODRUFF. o Entertains In honor of Miss Ktrby On last Thursday Miss Ruth T-an#?v entertained her Sunday School class at her attractive new country home in honor of Miss Emily Klrby who is so soon to make her home elsewhere.

THEY ABE W1AMC6 Long white glace gloves were vorn at the opera this week and jresented a pre-war picture, for bare inns have been the rule except by .he ultra conservative. t Pearls and emeralds were worn 'ather than diamonds by the smartest set at both Horse Show and >pera. While very bright orange, red and >lue hats are worn for sports and with fur coats for everyday occurrences, black is most often Been for formal wear. Gray velvet evening gowns or gray latin ones were worn at the opening light of the opera. Three-piece costumes are getting nore popular daily. Wool scarfs striped horizontally with bright colors are in evidence at football contests, even being worn with fur coats of the Bports genre. ? ? At the opening night of the Horse Show mink scored in the evening wraps worn. Drawstring steel bead bags in min. ature size were carried by those ittlred in evening gowns. A lavender color plaid woolen coat ;hat had a decided circular section ind worn with a lavender felt hat was a very attractive costume which many on the avenue turned to look it. The coat reached almost to thfe inkles. * The long, slim line is chosen by the majority in preference to bouffant iresses, which seem to be confined to :he Jeune fllle. Sapphire and Harding blue seem to 3e the colors beloved by dowagers at present and are used to relieve black Jr replace it. Possum fur seems to be enjoying luite a popularity as a suit or coat trimming against gray, black or blue. Red-heeled shoes are seen here and there for Btreet use as well as at theatres and dances. Red is a very popular color for linings in both fur and cloth wraps. A dressy suit was seen on the avenue during the week, the skirt of black velvet with gold brocade Btripes, the straight Jacket of black satin brocaded in gold in a floral pattern. Another suit seen on a young miss was of blue and black plaid, th skirt of a black material, with the plaid inserted in inverted plaits which showed when the wearer waiKed. A .

Score 14 to 6 In a very exciting and hard fought game the Cheraw High School eloven n defeated the Tfmmonsville aggrega- 'i tion on the latters ground by the score s of fourteen to six, on last Friday. I Timmonsville has a strong, heavy team I and has had a very successful seasor i hence their defeat by the boys from f the "Tip-top Town" came somewhat d as a surprise. / 1 Cheraw received the kickoft and t advanced the ball to within fifteen r yards of their opponent's goal but f was unable to make the coveted ten y yards and the ball went over to Timmonsville. During the remainder of t the first quarter. Timmonsville was t kept mostly on the defensive and t Cheraw's goal was never in danger, t In the second quarter Timmonsville i J .

With four v downs and eight yards to go, pros, f pects looked gloomy for the visitors t but Oheraw's line held like a brick c wall and as it wap impossible for c TInvmonsville to make the required d distance by end runs the ball changed e hands and Cheraw punted from behind g from behind the goal line. During f the remainder of the period the ball g was played about mid-fleld, anfr the n first half of the game was ended with e neither bide having scored. The third quarter furnished the h thrills for the day. Soon after the d beginning of the quarter Cheraw re. C ceived the ball and began a steady e march down the Held. However, when within about fifty yards of the goal line they suddenly met with a stubborn resistance by the Timmonsvllle team.

Boll Weevil to be Dismissed. The annual meeting of the South Carolina Division of the American Co ton Association will be held in Colum. bia on Wednesday, Dec. 7th, at noon in Craven Hall on Washington Street. It is the plan to have at this meeting some prominent planters from other states who have dealt with the boll weevil situation in the past successfully. These planters will tell ub how they solved the boll weevil problem and will advise us as to the best : course to pursue next year. Every farmer in the sVafe te'Urged to be present " ' *' $1.50 a year for The Chronicle' "'' 'FARMING UNDER BOLL WEEVIL CONDITIONS." Clemson College, Nov. 21.?To help neet the present situation in farm, ng the Extension Service of Clemon College has published Extension * v Bulletin 48, entitled "Farming under Boll Weevil Conditions," and this m port ant publication Is now ready or distribution. The publication Is livided into four or five sections, all tinging, however, upon the imporance of learning thoroughly new aethods and practices for successful arming In the presence of the boll reevil. In the Introduction farmers are varned against plunging Into new intried crone and urged to make heir farms self-supporting, so that he growing &f cotton and other noner croos may he on a safe basis. There are sections discussing the traduction of cotton under boll wee' 'i 11 conditions, the making of the arm self-supporting, systematic beweeq landlords and tenants, co. operation, and the need of specific lounty programs. The . publication * Ifscusses with sufficient fullness ach of these subjects, but does not Ive roluminous details. It Is thereore easy for the average farmer to ret from the bulletin definite lnforoation and suggestions to meet his leede. Copies of the nuM'rotion may be ad through the county agent* Hrectly from the Extension Service, * llemson College, S. C., and all faraers are ugred to,obtain copies. USE OF FERTILIZEBS Many northern people say they nr lublous about a country where comnercial fertilizers are used. South Carolina needs fertilizers pnly be-% ause the average South Carolina farner is Inclined to be slipshod lu his rark, or because It is necessary to alse such a crop as tobacco on thin oil. In South Carolina a money crop an be grown on a piece of land and n addition a heavy legume crop can >e raised and plowed under the same -ear. Many farmers do this; many armers do not do it but raise cotton nstead and count on' that to pay their tills and Mve them bother. 5 "V ONE CBOP COTTON . To a certain extent cotton has had i bad Influence on South Carolina, t Is an easy croo to raise, n-'t lifflcult to handle. Easy cotton noney has made the southern planer a one-crop farmer. The result Is hat he Is today buying corn from the lorth at $2, and many tenants on louthern farms are buying New York lay, a bale at & time, at $3 per bunIred. arid paying the bill with cotton >r tobacco money! A planter In Clarrndon county told me this spring that ast year he bought for three of Ms lone costing less than $1,300. One legro tenants out of their shares of :otton crops three automobiles, :olored man cleared a little over $400 in acre net on his tobacco last year. In old planter near me planted three icres of tobacco last year "Just to be lolng something" and the gross re. urn was $1,67S?but he is buying lis mule feed. Cotton Co-operative Marketing Campaign On. Columbia, Nov. 21.?With a total of s.wu Daief signea up, v41"1111?1011 :ounty Is leading the state In the cot;on cooperative marketing campaign, iccording to officials of the South :arolina Cotton Growers' Cooperative issociatlon. Contracts representing 5,220 balee were received from that jounty this morning. Spartanburg, Dillon and Marion counties are runling close to Darlington in the num>er of bales Bigned. The continued growth of the sentinent for cooperative marketing is re. jorted from every section of the state, t was declared this morning. Alfred Scarborough, member of the organi:ation committee, returning from a Irip to Greenwood and McCormick ounMes reported the people in tho'-e ;ounties in a very favorable attitude lowards the plan. The bankers of >oth counties look with strong favor lpon it and Mr. Scarborough said he ixpected little trouble in signing the lecessary number df bales in those wo counties. Harry G. Kam'ner, prcslj'ni said his morning that oe n'.socialirn felt :onfldent over the outcome of the :ampaign. The people of the state . ira hAcnminc more and more convinc. kl that it la absolutely necessary to lo something, he said, and the cojperatlve marketing of cotton, their principal crop, seems to be the first mportant step to take.
