And gentlemen, many of you are facing disaster, in one form or gnother, un less they fail to run true to form. All the way from Texas to counties i i^'ht here in our own state, the path "f the holl weevil has been, temporar ily at least, strewn with a state of af fairs which resulted in nothing less than a eondtion of panic. The yield of cotton has been cut front fifty to seventy five or eighty or even ninety (ier cent and more within a period of two or three years In every newly In tested area (which bus been about AO or 70 miles wide every year). Conse quently credit, both mercantile and bank, became paralyzed, business stagnated, farmers' and merchants bankrupted, ihe bottom knocked out (if larnl value s, and Tabor thoroughly demoralized' and scattered tojhe four winds.

You may | find a weevil on a blackberry or in a (teach tree or on garde)) truck, but he will uol at ay there any more than a how louse will $tay on me ? he isn't my kind of a louse. The weevil is a cotton specialist to the fullest extent . no matter what you may hear to the' contrary. If a weevil wakes up from his win- j ter sleep too early f iu spring or falls lo find young cotton lie plays iu hard luck and dies, However, they all do not wake up at flu* saipe time and | some always sleep late enough to have j a plenty of growing cotton In reach ? when they look for it. They usually; stop In the first cotton they find along (lie hedge rows, woods, or stumiVs where they spent the. winter and get on the biggest stalk In that area or on the stalks whore the cot ton for any reason Is largest. He knows ? such stalks will hear squares firsrt and they are his favorite food.; Until squares appear all your wee- i vlls that have survived the winter will feed on the buds of your cotton a I'd can always be seen sucking these buds! in the morning, llreakfast seems t<> : he a weevil's favorite meal, He does not eat- dinner on hot days and may not take supper until late in the after - noon or a>t night. The purest time to get him is while his feet are under* the breakfast table between the time he comes to your field and when i squares begin to come. You can us ually spot the stalks that weevils arc on or are near by a characteristic black frost bitten looking leaf bud. Boll weevils hear out Darwin's theory that the "female of the speck's Is niore^ deadly that the male" because most of the squures are punetured for the purpose of depositing eggs In thcin by the hen weevils. The aver age hen weevil lays1 130 eggs, within several days after starting, and puts only one to a square. They cannot lay eggs until tthey have {irst fed on squares a few days and seem to have sense cuough flat t<T Itty nil egg In a square if another has preceded her on the same mission. Counting the squares that, both hens and roosters feed on and those ? in which the hen deposits her eggs, a pair of weevils will destroy or cheat you directly out of two pounds of col , ton and much more later through 1 their descendants. Wouldn't it pay to !*pcml considerable time catching or 'destroying those early birds? cspocial ! ly since it is not the habit of weevils ! to move from field to field until fall? My friends there are no traps that will catch weevils or poison baits or other remedies that you can afford to use. And whenever one is discover ed, Uncle Sam will preach it to y?>n from tiie house tops. Experience taught us down in Ala bama, and you will learn t.h<? same thing, i hat I'lie only safe way to cheat tin* weevils out of a profitable ? ??*? ?j> of cottort is to thoroughly pi< U those early weevils prior to the time cotton begins t < > put on squares and tljen pick iifi and burn the square* <4ntain ing eggs every four or five days until August lsl. or loth Meanwhile < ill tiVating the trot ton faster than be fore and keeping up the rapid plow inn later to stimulate faster growth ?-<? as t-> get as much cotton made early while the, weevils are at ? u dis advantage with -mall number-* and, the inability to raise more. One point, I am about to forget. Do not put your faith in Killing weevils - by knocking them off in the hot dirt, you may 'kill one now and then if the temperature i> b?r? in the shade, but very few. Neither should you lis ! ten to this dope about plowing under the squares to keep them from hatch-! ing. You will save many one's 1 i ? if y..u do for they will come through four inches of dirt and when covered j will be saved by the moisture. Wee- j vils are worse wet summers than dry because the hot sun and soil parch np j many squnres nnd kill the weevils be- 1 fore they reach maturity. Therefore a large numtier of early A-eevils does ? not mean as great damage in a dry! summer as a -mailer number if the, f *cuM>n is wft So much for t )*<? ?lirt.Tt mean* of fighting weevils by will rib vou oh ri savf much of tliis <r<>jt and the crr.ps of smaller acreages in tn^ future. Diversified farming ha* followed In the path "of the weevil as night fol lows day. It means an agricultural somersault, but gentlemen sooner or % later you will take It and it won't hurt as had as you imagine. It Is much aafpr to raise a* many a* pos sible of the tilings you now try to buy with eotton money.

An announcement comes from secre tary-treasurer McPanlel, . ,of our Chamber of Commerce, that from all reports lie is able to get. Camden is listed among tin*' few cities of its si/.e linn has not, had a business fa Mure during the financial depression. This announcement should be received by I . ? the merchants and business men of Camden with much satisfaction and should be an encouragement for them t? ? g<? forward with a more determined effort that ever before. In connection with the announce ment, Mr. M<'J>an.iel suggests thnt mer chants and business men of Camden help encourage the move to bring busi ness completely back to normal by continually working and boosting for better business., and at the same time, let the outside world know that Cam den is snrving the financial depres sion better than lots of other cities by using two little lines on the bot tom of all letters mailed out. He has already started putting these lines on all Chamiher of Comment? correspon - dence and hopes that everyone else will do the same thing. Here is what Mr. McDaniel suggests for the bottom of the letters: "Camden has not had a business failure during the financial 9 depression. Little tiirl Burns Tongue York. June 25. ? The five-year-old daughter pf Charles Morrow, of Clover depot agent, stuck her tongue In an electric light socket from which Mrs. Morrow had detached tin electric iron without cutting off the current.
