Yorkville 1 Inquirer. How to Fight the Hojll Weevil. In :i r least half of South -Carolina .?it the present time the boll weevil is causing the utmost" concern to every man who plants cotton and to overs man who does business in any M'liy with the man who plants <&>ttou. What has happened everywhere else from Texas hen; is repeating itself in this State. The people in the wee, vil's pathway have refused to believe tliat the havoc wrought, elsewhere would he visited upon them, and they have persisted in this attitude until the boll weevil's had not otil\ made their appearance in their fields, but had es tablished' themselves there in nil counted multitudes. Now that this bus happened a lit tie earlier than was expected because ot the mildness of the past winter tho tendancy on the part of many col ton growers is to become panic stricken. That is not to be wondered at and it i- what lias occurred over and over again in other places. Such an . attitude is folly. We cannot pre vent the l>oll weevil from making great inroads into the size of the col ? ton crop in South Carolina and we cannot prevent it from increasing the" cost of making cotton. Tint we can make eottoa lu spite of the boll woe vll gud we cka by the right sort of fight "cheat 1 1 if weevil" out of thou panda andtens et thousand* m imics of cotton which it will otherwise .<!?? votir. The I- 1 1 1 M Jllht <|IIOt4Mt lb t lilt t of Mr. J, I\ Quiucrly, county demonstru Hon agent for 1<?? County. Mr. J. I*. Quiucrly, we arc told hy lite lilshopvllle paper, H|H*ut five years lnv,the boll weevil district In Alabama before coming to Ijcq County, If he doesn't know what ho is talking about then we miss our guess, llo is holding meetings now all over l.ee Cotiuty and the' larger cotton growers and 1>usl ness men have promised . to have their tenants attend these meetings. l.ee County Is not going to surrender to the boll weevil, it Is going to make the kind of a fight that Mr. (Julnerly urges and is going to win that fight or know the reason why. The titling which inn^t flu* understood above every tiling else is that, as Mr. tjuinorly puts it." tin* battle, will be lost or won in tin* next six or eight weeks." This Is true in In-e County. i! is true all over South Carolina. As many a* possible of the weevils must he picked and destroyed as they, ap pear on the young cotton Squares whh'h full froni cotton must be guth crcd up a l ..least iuuv a wcok, every v. eel* for the next t w ? ? months. and destroyed. Cultivation must be more I" r 'e<pu'iit and iniisi he kept up longer. Kx perimenta I ion with calcium arsen ate is advised where the conditions serMn tn justify The expense. < This is a brief summary of the meth ods advised by Mr. Quiucrly, (but his address should Vie rend in full and studied by farmers and business men wherever the boll weevil is operating. We wish ii coil hi lie reprinted in every county paper in the boll wrevil terri tory. Ploht.x of other good literature is available on this question, we know. ) ? 1 1 1 we like Mr Quiner)y'> way of putting things and we like, as we said before the fighting spirit w hich 'blazes through his words.
