Discrimination Against the South
A local asparagus grower was
curious to know the', difterencc in
raU^s on asparagus shipments from
California to Boston an<l from Barn
well to Boston. In response to an
inquiry, Atlantic CoasU Line Rail
road Company ndvi>n*s him that the
rate from California to Boston, a dis
tance « f some .‘5,000 miles, *is $1.75
per 100 pounds, or about 56 cents a
crate. The rate from Barnwell to
the Massachusetts city is 71 to 75
tents a crate, whereas the distance,
is shorter l>y about 2*,000 miles.
Why this discrimination against the
South? Is it for political reasons, or
is the lower rate enjoyed by the
California growers due to better or
ganization? If the latter is the case,
it miyht be well for the officers of
the association to get busy and get
nn adjustment in the rrite on South
Carolina “grass.” .
If the discrimination is due to
political reasons, ‘it will not be the
first time that the South lias paid

The People is devoting considerable
space this weex to articles"and letters
about the War Between' the States.
We have also published several “Re
miniscences” during the past few
weeks. These articles are- quite
timely, inasmuch as, at this season
of the year, the South' delights in
(Icing honor to rapidly thinning ranks
of heroes who wore the gray in those
bloody days. We re printing quite
a number of extra copies this week
for distribution at the annual re
union of Camp Mon-all, at Meyer’s
Mill, tomorrow, and wish especialy
to call attention to the article headed
“Barnwell County’s Part in the War
Between the States. This article,
written by Miss Janet Pearlstine,
tells of the heroic part played in that
conflict by Barnwe 1 County soldiers,
some of whom are still living.

County Agent Says
Many Boll Weevils
y
From the obsoivmtions which have
been made recently, it is apparent
that there will be a heavy emergence
1 • .>
of boll weevils this spring.' Up to
the same time this year at least 10
times as many weevil- had merged
as had come out last year at the
same tinje. From the above facts,
• W'nutura-Uy conclude that tin early
damage from boll weevils tills year
will be heavy unless the weather con
ditions arc e^eed|pg.y fiivoi pble, and
in such case the damage w< uld he
minimized to a great extent. An
early application of dust 10 days to
two weeks before the first squares are
big enough to punetutxx followed by
a second one in four to Wx days, will
go a long way towards reducing the
number of old weevils. For best re
sults the calcium arsenate in the
dust form should be used; hbwever
y liquid arsenate may be used, but
the results will not be as good; there
fore*, the* dust form is preferable.
Then later, for all tho^e who would
make half a bale* of cotton, per acre*,
or better without bill weevils, system
atic dusting should be* done.
The main reason 'for calling this
important matter to the farmers’ at-
tention at this time is, should there be*
extreme damage doix'-trr'^otton, cal
cium arsenate will soar in price,
whereas it is now being sojd at a
very re asonable price e>f 7 to 9 ^enits
iund. I would advise the pur
chase* of a supply of arsenate at this
