FARMERS OF BARNWELL
COUNTY “COMING BACK”
Outlook in This Section Is Brightest
in Three Years.
- •• - - . ^ yt
Barnwell County is coming back!
After three years of depression
add pessimism, poor crops and, for
the most part, low prices, there b at
present a more optimistic feeling
among the fanners and business
men in thb section than at any
time since the Fall of 1920. Good
prices for asparagus, strawberries,
cucumbers and now watermelons,
with excellent prospects for n fair
cotton crop is the medicine that has
done the work. The hot, dry
weather of the past two or three
weeks has been of great assistance
to the farmers in their war on the
boll weevil and, with seasonable
weather from now on, H would teem
that the yield thb year will be the
largest sines 1920. The corn end

cotton as good a* any in this section,
it being well fruited and free from
the boll weevil. In addition to
poisoning, he haa worked his crqp
fait and kept the squares pkkod up.
Messrs. 0. H. and Martin Best also
have a crop of wMch they may well
be proud and they attribute the
large amount of fruit on the stalks
and the scarcity of the boll weevil to
the poisoning that they have done.
They used the molasses-arsenate
mixture while the cotton was small
and are now dusting with calcium
arsenate. —
*Or -. -
Of course, these results could not
have been obtained had the weather
beerr wet, but the fair weather has
allowed the poison to remain on the
plants long Enough to Iciil the wee
vils in th fields'. And if early punc-’
tured squares were picked up, fields
in which no damage is apparent at
this time, should be reasonably safe
for the newt two weeks, during
which time a large number of bolls
will mature. Mr. D. R. Coker, who
is an ardent advocate of the
molasses-arsenate mixture, urges *
last application df the poison about
the 15th of August at which time
the weevils begin to migrate.
Don't ha mitia^j into thinking
that the fight ha 1 been wm. but do
every thing passible to combat the
