THE PAPER SHORTAGE
Frank Sheheen, chairman of the Kershaw County Salvage
committee, who has been making a strong effort to persuade
the Camdeii public to cooperate in the Mlvaging of waste
paper, cannot understand the apathy that is in evidence.
The waste paper situation, according to Washington, is
serious. The war department, by press and radio, is appeal
ing for more waste paper. But for some reason or other, the
response to the appeal is not what it should be.
In some communities, there is a different story, for the
public, spurred by some organi2ation, such as the Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, Junior Chambers of Commerce, etc., cooperates
in a laudable manner. Here in Camden, considerable waste
paper is taken by cooperative people to the little white house,
in Hampton Park, this being the salvage station sponsored by
the Boy Scouts. ^ .
In order, to spur the waste^aper ccUlection, to assist the^
public in. disposing of accumulations at the smallest effort
“on the part of housewives, Mr. Sheheen arranged for a weekly
pickup of all waste paper by city trucks. This pickup was
arranged for every Wednesday.
But the effort has been somewhat of a flop, according
to Mr. Sheheen. There apparently has been little coopera
tion on the part of the public. It may be that the bottom oif
the.barrel has been reached, that people do not have any
waste paper to turn in. And it may be that the general public
is beginning to wonder why, if waste paper is so necessary,
the government does not curtail the use of paper more
thoroughly. *
For instance—out in Colorado there is a county named
'Hinsdale. Recently, when the publicity drums in Washington
were beating a rapid tempo for the Fifth War Loan drive,
5,000 war loan posters were received by the clerk of Hinsdale
county. With the consignment of 6,000 posters came a note
to the effect that if more posters were needed, more would
be forthcoming. What the experts in Washington did not
realize was that 6,000 posters were quite a few for Hinsdale
county—for the population of the county was exactly 240.
HARD ON BOLL WEEV1L5
The scarcity of farm labor and the early opening of this
year’s cotton crop have created an acute situation in the cot
ton harvest. •
In the past the pickers have had to make several rounds
over the fields before all of the crop was in. But not so this
time.
In most cases they are getting it ail where they go along,
and that has been true in most fields in the lower half of
the state since the latter part of August—an unprecedented
situation.
And now the same thing applies to most fields in the
far upnetate.

The Clemson Experiment station at Tlprence last winter
found 20 times as many weevils hibernating in the trash
around fields where the cotton stalks were allowed to grow
until frost as where they were destroyed by October 16.
Now, with a chance to take the boll weevil’s food and
breeding place away from him, not days but weeks before
frost, he is driven into winter hiding and cotton farmers have
a golden opportunity that other seasons did not afford.
In the past the cotton was not all open nor picked in
time. This time it is open. The only problem is getting it
picked. ^
It appears the part of wisdom for the small stalk.® of
this year to be destroyed effectively as fast as the pickers
pro£n*ess over the farm. They are smaller than usual, which
makes for more effective destruction.
