THURSDAY, SKIT. 22. P. 21
The Times editor does not pi cloud
to pose as a holl weevil expo', t. lint
there are some thivgs that arc beginning1
to be manitVot to a'l intelligent
observers. One thing is the fact
that the boll weevil is here, and in
some sections of the county he is
present in great numbers although
the present year, with it ex.essivc
heat and unusually dry woa'her, was
destructive to the boll* we vil. Had
this been a wet year and had there
been several cool spells al ,, r thiough
the season some farms would have
been practically eaten up by the weevils.
As it is, we know of quite a
number of farms that have been
seriously damaged by the weevils
this year. Next year, experts tell us.
there will be far greater damage, if
we continue under the uid method
There are those who are teTng uthat
Union County will not he very
hard hit, that we are too far upcountry,
that we have always had boll
weevil in this county and b never
has done any harm. As to .his last
statement^ we beg to say: For fourteen
years The Times ediu . has had
a bottle containing about a dozen boll
weevils and enough alcohol to preserve
them. They came fr<.m Texas.
During the last year there were something
like twenty various bugs and
beetles caught by farmers in the
county and brought to The Times edi
tor as possible boll weevil. Not on;1
of these proved to be a boll weevil, as
could be easily discerned by compari*
son with the sample already on hand.
But early this year a real boll weevil
was brought in. The first one that
carhe to us from the county was from
Bogansville township. Many people
x said, "that is no boll weevil." But
they were wrong, and we were right,
for now you may go into almost any
r cotton field in the county and gather
quantities of the weevil. The weevil
travels north and west at the rate of
about 65 miles a year, making his adYM^hce
in August. He will sweep the
northern section of Spartanburg
County next year, and in Union County
he will get in a full year's work.
This he will do unless we find a way
to combat him. The advice given
in the mass meeting in the courthouse
Tuesday contained two prime points;
1.?Destroy the stalks in the fields
by Oct. 10. 2.?Pick the weevils in
the spring, beginning in May and
continuing up to August. Poisoning
with or without syrup is too costly
and not greatly to be relied upon,
particularly in seasons when there is
much rainfall. Besides it costs too
much per acre to poison unless our
yield were much greater. That the
gentlemen who spoke in our mass
meeting were along the right line is
proven by the testimony of Clenison
College experts. They give the two
methods?destroy the old weed; pick
the bugs. So there we have it. Tf it
is too much trouble to pick the bugs,
you will stand a poor show to raise
cotton another year. It is certainly
no waste of labor to destroy the old
cotton stalks. You put the vegetable
matter back in the soil and you get
your field in better shape for spring.
We shall continue to advise the farmers
to pursue these two methods of
meeting the situation until we can
find some better way. To tell them
to raise no cotton is easy to say but
foolish advice. What will they raise,
if they raise no cotton?

business district property which was
eagerly sought by many buyers
Some time ago a man who owned a
building in Broadway just below
rimes Square wanted contract stip
ulations that none of the prospective
buyers would lease it to ocrtain busi

and went right on down the alphabet
to xy lophone dealers, skipping so few
lines of business that none would
take the place.
Just above the imes Square section
of Broadway an aged property
owner had a vacant five story building
that an automobile sales house
wanted to lease. The papers wen.
drawn up, and when the in teres; e<
parties had gath< red to si^n it, the
automobile representative remarket
that his concern was going to put "i

owner laid down his pe n and said 11

Foerwoman of Soap
Factory Student
at Bryn Mawr
* Kansns City, Knn., Sept. 21.?After
j putting in two months at Bryn Mawr
College this summer, Miss Louise
.Beau, hamp of this city is back at the
f soap factory where she is a fore,
woman.
The previous education this Kansas
' girl had er.joyed halted abruptly at
the eighth grade. She then went to
work in the factory wrapping cakes
of soap. She continued at it several
years, until she was chosen to go to
Byrn Mnwr with all expenses paid.
This was part of an experiment
conducted by the college authorities,
women labor leaders and alumnae this
year for tho rat time. Eighty-one
factory workers in various parts of
the country were given scholarships,
and had every advantage of college
life and education at this well-known
Pennsylvania institution. Then they
went back to the work they had left.
"Of course, I didn't expect to get
an education in eight weeks? a person
couldn't be expected to," the Kansas
City girl said. "But J did enjoy
it, certainly, and I think I got
a good deal out of it. I tried to get
all I could."
Miss Beauchamp came back fired
with ambition to do something to
lend a helping hand to her fellow
workers and better their condition In
every way possible, she says.
; "How would you set about to 60
it, if you had a free hand?" inquired
a visitor.
"I'd unionize them," she replied
promptly, "and work for better hours
and better pay." - 4

Horseshoe Pitching
Tournament
Ames, -la.,- Sept. 21.?Horseshoe
pitching has been added to the list of
intra-mural sports at Iowa State College.
Two dual meets have been arranged
with Drake University, and a
state interscholastic tournament is
planned for the spring.
Regular courts have been established
here and a welcome is extended
by Charles W. Mayser, director of
physical training, to all who "come
out" for horseshoes. The director sees
in the sport a new means of increasing
athletic interest and development
among the students.
