THE BOLL Wl
D0N1
Next Year Will Be B,
Chro
The Augusta Chronicle, which hasf
devoted much study to the boll weevil
problem, predicts better crop conditions
next year. The following in.
teresting editorial was printed in Sat
urday's Chronicle.
/ 1
Farmers who may be disheartened
over the average yield of one bale per
plow in this section of Georgia and
South Carolina?and all of them are
?should take consolation from the
fact that in all human probability the
boll weevil will never again play such
havoc with cotton as it did this year.
It is the history of weevil investigai
tion that the third year is the worst
of all and this deadly pest came into
this section in small numbers during
the late summer of 1919. The ravages
were considerably less last year
and this year, aided and abetted by
rain, the weevil practically caused a
total failure of the cotton crop.
The Chronicle would not attempt to
picture things that are bright where
they are black and would not be a
blind optimist, for we realize that
never in the history of this section of
the south has there been such a heart
breaking failure. And the failure
. came in the midst of a period of det
" pression which makes it especially
hard to bear. The federal reserve
board's deflation policy had run the
price of cotton from 40 cents to 10
cents and thousands of farmers were
forced to sell their staple at the low
point. Ttfen, in the face of this condition,
comes a total failure. On the
' other hand there are large numbers of
farmers who held their cotton from
last year and at 20 cents can liquidate
+ Vi/~?ntrh
practicany an 01 men u&uw, vu.wue~.
? not many of them are willing to gfcll
at 20 cents.
We would not attempt to say that'
times for many farmers, will not be
hard this fall and winter because if
'you have no cotton a dollar per pound
will not help you, but we wish to
hold out to the farmers of Georgia
" . and South Carolina a better prospect
tor another year. We assume, of
course, that all of them are going to
. raise everything to eat at home and
make cotton an entirely surplus crop.
With that purpose in view they , may
fix determinedly upon coming through
their troubles and finally becoming
even better off than beforje the boll
weevil came.
County Agent bright McConnell, of
Richmond county, says there are five
reasons for the extremely short crop,1
v / . .
in this section, as follows:
* 1. The mildest winter in 1920-21
in recent years, caused more weevils
to hibernate than ever before. ,,
2. The lateness of the spring, causing
the crops to grow off late.
3. A rainy July that increased boll
weevil infestation. j
4. Lack of fertilizer.
; - 5. Cut in acreage.
All of the above is true, and it is
not conceivable that we shall have
again a mild winter, a late spring and
a wet July. In July when the farmers
could have been using poison to the
. best advantage there was a rain every
day and it is obviously impossible
to poison successfully in rainy
weather.

CHILD SMOTHER IX COTTOX PILE.
Little Boy Refuses to Leave Heap
With Others and Loses Life.
Chester, Sept. 22.?Raymond Dick-|
erson, six year old son of Mr. and j
Mrs. W. L. Dickerson of the Shelton
\ '
neighborhood, was suffocated in a
pile of loose cotton Tuesday afternoon.
The child, with several others,
was playing in a house where there
was a pile of loose cotton, and when
the others went to dinner he was so
engrossed with the sport that he ran
hack to Play a little longer. When
his absence was discovered and others
had gone back to search for him,
his legs were found protruding from
the cotton.
Chance of a Life Time.
The occupants of the parlor car
of the limited were startled by the
abrupt entrance of two masked bandits.
"T'row up ver hands." commanded
(fho hip-jror nf the twn "Wp'rp jrnnrta
rob all the gents and his? all the
gals."
"Xo, pardner," remonstrated the
smaller one gallantly. "We'll rob the !
gents but we will leave the ladies alone."
"Mind your own business, young
fellow," snapped a female passenger
of uncertain age. "The big man is
robbing this train."
EVIL HAS
i HIS WORST
liter, Says the Augusta
nicle
per plow, plant it early, fertilize it
well, and work it fast. Poison with
the methods which gave you the best
results in the past. An early cotton,
one that will put a crop on quickly,
should be selected. We see no reason
why three or four bales should not be
made per plow, just as are being made
in other sections that have had the
boll weevil for years.
The great danger ahead of the
country is in the demoralization of
the tenant and other farm labor. Of
course, they are discouraged and the
landlord is discouraged even more
than they are, but we cannot quit.
We must face the conditions. It is
up to every creditor of the .farmers
to help him through this crisis, assuming,
of course, that the farmer in
eacn case is acung in enure euuu
faith with his creditors.
The methods in farming in this
section are going through a revolution,
as we have often pointed out.
The old methods cannot be employed
any more. We are going to become
independent of the west for
our food supply and we are going
to make some cotton to buy clothing
and other necessities that cannot be
raised. The future is bright, despite
the unpromising aspect of the present.
And those who say that we are
crazy for calling the boll weevil a
blessing in disguise will come around
to our way of thinking.
The Chronicle would carry a message
of courage, of hope, of cheer,
to the farmers. Our message is to
hold fast, don't weaken and determine
upon a strict programme of
living at home and making cotton
a surplus. Raise all oHhe side crops
that you can to 'help out. Some people
made money on melons this year,
others on onions and there will be
probably 25 cars of peanuts raised in
Richmond county this year that will
bring right now, according to the
county agent, $80 per ton.
Remember that the boll weevil has
done his worst and your crop next
year is bound to be better. Some
will be unable to farm much because
they cannot get the finances, but really
all the finances we should have is
enough credit to buy some guano.
Because the tenants cannot pay the
rent this year no landlord 'will break
them up for if he does his land vtill
remain idle next year. Ills creditors
do not want the stock that the farmer
has mortgaged because it will
sell for little or nothing and he had
rather let the farmer have it and
try to make a crop in 1922. We
believe that the same spirit of forbearance
on the part of creditors that
occurred last fall and winter willprevail
again. We believe almost every
one is willing to give the farmer
every opportunity. And the farmer
who hasn't corn enough, enough peas,
potatoes ana syrup uj ias. iur uiaut
months, to say nothing of 30me meat
and some wheat that will be planted
this fall, doesn't have mucn hope
for himself and no one can be expected
to have much hope for him.
Indeed, those who try 10 farm next
year expecting some one else to buy
all of these things to furnish him
with should stop right now and give
up any idea of farming for no one
but a crazy man would do it.
