about-growing cptton under boll wee
vil conditions from County Agent
H. G. Boylston, of Blackvillc:
I will mention two instances to
show that cotton can be grown pro
fitably in spite of the boll weevil
and the extremely heavy rain fall
that we had in this county last year.
The first one was near Blackville,

They then decided to carry their ex

various lengths of wire, both in
sulated and bare win*, and were
able to receive with a piece as short
as .thirty inches. Contrary to the
-conventional method of stringing
an aerial between two poles, those
gentlemen merely lay the wire on
the floor, when a long length is
used, and'on a tabic for short
lengths. They have found that the
