Man ning’s communition to the Progressive Fanner: “To the farmers of South Carolina: I desire to, call your attention to a matter that, to my mind is of grave concern to every citizen of our state. “The boll\ weevil has reached the Atlanta distrik, in Georgia. The ag ricultural cominittee of the board of trustees in Cltoson College, at a meeting held\ September 29 and 30, has consiotered the alarming aspects of this mattV, and has taken steps to bring this situation to the at tention of our farmers Iso that they cap at once prepare for this disaster when it strikes us. The government maps and reports show that the boll weevil has advanced between 90 and 100 miles towards us this season. They have another month or more in which to advance still farther in our direction. I am not an alarmist, but together with the other trust^erof Clemson College, I do regard the situation as so serious that active steps should be taken at once in order to meet this threatened calamity, and plans are now being formulated by the Clemson College board looking to this end. I will, at a later date, give these plans and sugges tions to the public. In the meantime let me urge our farmers throughout the state to sow wheat, oats, rye, clovers and other winter crops, in prepara tion for money crops other"than cotton, to b£ grown next year. “I urge our people also to fix their minds on plans for raising hogs, cat tle and other livestock. I urge this matter most seriously, and assure them that I will advise only what I know to be facts. The increased price of cotton and the spread out of the boll weevil, still further reducing the yield of cotton, will have a tendency to at tract our farmers to the raising of cotton in preference to other crops, and to fix their efforts on an increase in cotton acreage. This, is my judge ment, will mean disaster. I say it ad visedly. Again, I urge that every thing points to the appearance of the boll weevil in South Carolina within a much shorter time than previous calculations would indicate, and it be hooves us as sensible people to give this matter our best thought and to prepare for it accordingly. We must not regard it as one of those misfor tunes which may or may not come to us at a distant future. We believe that the boll weevil will soon be here. “Again, I urge upon our people to plant food crops and raise more live stock.” Your Cover Crop. “Joseph was one - of the longest (Continued on eighth page.)
