Editor Manufacturers Record:
I recently wade a trip to Cough,
Gu., for the prupose of investigating
.the Hill method of boll weevil control.
Your Mr. John C. Cady was with me
on this trip.
During the last quarterof a cental
y, since the boll weevil
devastating the cotton crop of the
South, thousands of remedies have
been offered for the destruction of the
pest, and up to the present time nothing
has solved the problem. The dusting
method of dry calcium, the method
recommended by the Agricultural Department
and the various agricultrual
colleges, seems to be the moat efficacious.
However, where it has been
used under the most careful supervision,
still there is a very heavy loss
from the boll weevil, regardless of the
many applications that are applied
with the very latest machinery.
Another serious problem is the insufficient
quantity of calcium arsenate
and the cost of about $15 per acre or
$50 per bale. If all the calcium arsenate
in the world today could be
secured for this purpose, we would
only have a sufficient quantity, as
shown by the best experts, to annlv I
to 6,000,000 acres of cotton, which is
less than one-fifth of the cotton crop.
At no time since the boll weevil first
crossed into Texas has more effort
been put forth than is being made
today to secure a remedy whereby
cotton can be profitably produced under
boll weevil conditions, and at no 1
time has the entire world been more
alarmed, and justly so, over a solution
of this problem.
In making this trip into Georgia, i
passing through our state capital, Columbia,
and ui noticing the names of ,
the various streets?Cotton street, Indigo
street, Rice street?and remembering
that the streets of the capital
in the early dnys were named for the
various agricultural products raised <
in those days to furnish all the names
for the future state capital, and that
today a very few of these agricultural (
products are grown at all in the state,
I could not help but ask myself the (
question is cotton destined to follow
in the footsteps of indigo, rice and 1
other crops that have been abandoned
in South, Carolina and in the South ,
i Atlantic states?
IMJ^j2^3si_ng _through the former rice ,
F"" plantations in the fertile coastal plain
of South Carolina, and in viewing the 1
magnificent colonial mansions, com- I
structed largely from costly material 1
imported from England and of the t
hardwoods of America, the workmanship
being of the very highest j
class, and these magnificent mansions j
today deserted, standing as a monument
to the great ante-bellum days; j
and in passing through the great rice ,
plantations, the lands being as fertile
as the valley of the Nile, seeing them
densely covered with a rank vegeta- |
tion of bamboo, briers, shrubbery und ,
trees, and when I remember that
there are 11,000,000 acres in South
Carolina that were in a high stage ,
of cultivation in ante-bellum days and
millions in the other Southern states,

1 examined the cotton lields of the
plantation of Mr. Hill and found that
he had produced almost a full cotton
crop during the present year. In fact,
on his main farm, he produced 600
bales of cotton on 800 acres. I personally
inspected the farm of a widow
who planted and cultivated the crop
with the labor of herself and six children,
and found by gin receipts that
she had produced 17 bales of cotton
on 16 acres. We visited many of the
tenters who used this remedy devised
hy Mr. Hill and also farms on adjoining
lands, and from each and everyone
we received the strongest endorsement
of the mixture, and the
lands containing eotton stalks would
prove that they had produced the c^jtton.
They also had the gin receipts
as further proof. I have no doubt
as to the production of the cotton. I
found that it was absolutely neces/

sary to make heavy applications of fertilizer
to produce cotton under boll
weevil conditions. There is no possibility
of producing ,cotton except at
a greatly increased coat?the - prep-!
aration of the land, the cultivation^
ar.d fertilizer and poisons, all greatly
adding to the expense.
Mr. Hill informed me that after*
the expenditure of $2tl,000 and-yeaf*
of hurd work he has produced the
liquid poison which he himself has
been using for several years and
which was used on the cotton referred
to above during the present year.-One
matter of complete difference of jridfr*
ment between Mr. Hill and the experts
concerning the ha sards of the
boll weevils is this: he insists that the
boll weevil feeds, not upon the
squares, forms and -bolls, but that the
puncturing of these is done for the
purpose of egg-laying; that both the
female and male puncture the
squares, forms and bolls for the par4
pose of furnishing a nest for the eggs,
and that tho boll weevil absolutely
f<eds upon the bloom of the cotton.
Until the weevil can get food from the
bloom, he sucks his food from the tender
leaves of the cotton found in the
heart of the stalk. Mr. Hill stated
that he knew it was necessary to secure
a food that the boll weevil would
cat to enable him to poison the weevil;
that his poison has the odor of
the cotton bloom, and that by applying
it in the heart of the cotton stalk,
the boll weevil is attracted to it, eats
it and is annihilated. The amazing
part is the cost of the poison. Under
Mr. Hill's method, it costs from $2
to $3 per acre at the outside, this
bting one-quarter to onesixth the oost
of the most popular methods.
I interviewed both white planters
and negro planters and found them
strong advocates of the poison, and
the widow informed me that she had
given up cotton planting and was in
despair for a way to get an existence
for herself and children, until she
was convinced that had she not usad<
Ihis poison she would never have produced
over two to three bales on the
15 acres, instead of 17 bales as shown

the question as to whether cotton
would follow in the footsteps of rice.
Especially was this question presented
to my mind when I passed through
the various court house towns in the
most fertile sections of the cotton
belt, a section which I passed through
in 1918 and 1919, which then had the
earmarks of great prosperity, but
which today was marked with desertion
and poverty. I found in the court
house towns thousands of tax executions
in the hands of the sheriff for
the sale of property of the cotton
farmers for the settlement of taxes
which they were unable to pay, on
account of the inroads of the boll
weevil to a certain extent, but due
more largeup to the deflation policy
of the Federal Reserve Board, which
has brought about wreck and ruin.
On this trip, in one of the most
"rosperous counties, I learned that
10,000 tax executions had been placed
in the hands of the sheriff.
I saw thousands of the desetred
farms, lands which formerly were
producing wonderful crops of cotton,
com and other crops, now covered
with rank vegetation, and the homes
and plantations having the same
abandoned look of the rice planta
a Dove.
Mr. Hill claims that the land should
be broken up in the fall of the year
and thoroughly prepared; that the
crop should be well fertilised, and
'.hat the poison should be applied just
as soon as the cpttcm ia cropped out,
und that aptelj^ Kjx a^pUdU
tjons of the poison are sufficient; that
by applying poison very . early all of
the migratory weevils are destroyed
and thus they cannot reproduce, and
that if all farmers Would use the poison,
poisoning would ceaae eftoi killing
the weevils from hibernation, but
where other farms are infeeted, it is
necessary to keep up the application
of poison until around the 1st to the
loth of August.
Rains play an important part in
boll weevil damage. The damage increases
in proportion to the* rainfall.
In our adjoining county, OySthgeburg,
one of the largest cottoh-produdng
counties of the belt, cotton production
dropped from 115,000 bales two years
ago to 12,000 bales during the present
year. My county of Calhoun, one of
the most fertile counties in the South,
where cotton production and farniing
arc carried on in the most scientific
manner: still with the very latest
methods of boll weevil control our
production dropped from 45,000 bales
two years ago to approximately 3,000
bales during the present year.
If Mr. Hill's preparation will bring
to other sections the benefit that it
has brought to his, it will indssd
prove a blessing. In 1918 and 191$
I made practically the same trip over
the same territory that I made at this
trip. The difference was indeed startling.
On my former trips, the earmarks
of prosperity were plainly discernible.
On this trip just the opposite
was the case. In 12 counties the
sheriffs' offices were loaded with tax
executions, thousands of negroes have
left, hundreds of farms have been
abandoned, lands that on my former
tnp were not for sale could not bd
sold today at all, mules that on my
former trip were selling for from $404
to $500, today were practically un?*
saleable; cattle were a liability ink
stead of an asset. In fact, one farmer
told me after a desperate effort that
he finally succeeded in selling his eoW
to a butcher and that he brought bach
one quarter, and the difference bti
tween the amount due him by the
butcher for the entire steer and the
price he paid for the one-quarter was
12. In other words, he had to five
the butcher the cow and pay the $2 in
addition for the privilege. < The experience
of the farm ate in their efi
forts to prpduce truck crops of vari?
ous kinds waa indeed distressing. It
is an exception to pass through a sec*
tjoii where, truck has beep planted to*
the Northern markets, 'they had not
been able to produce it.
I do not wish to state by anything 1

weevil problem hps beta solved. I
have only given the conditions as I
found them. I am writing yon this bt

Washington, Dec. 21.?A thorough

' senator of all political faiths.
R. B. Creager, chairman of the state

right of Senator-elect Mayfield to
^ take his seat will be challenged. He
came to Washington to make arrange>,
ments for the fight. While here he

publican senators.
[ He declared before leaving that he

i Mayfield will be challenged on three
3 counts, it is said. He will be charged
t with having expended four times the
, amount of money Texas law permits
i1 a senatorial candidate to spend; he
" will be charged with having direct

i The discussion of the Mayfield case
? will result in an open discussion of
' the Ku Klux Klan, it is strongly indi|
cated. The klan is not confined to the
* South. It has extended itself into all
" states of the union. In each state it
has members who will defend it, and
} enemies who will fight it. The discus)
sion in the senate, for that reason, is
| expected to be of nationwide interest,
j As previously pointed out in the dist
patches of this bureau, the consensus
r of opinion appears to be that Mayfield
} Will be denied his seat. The reason
J tc be given, it is indicated, will be
that because his opponent's name was
not permitted to go on the ticket there
was no free election.
j But underneath, it is suggested, will
be the affiliation of Mayfield with the
klan. It is generally said that Republicans
would hesitate to support a
klan.sman because of the heavy negro
1 vote in certain Northern cities and
i states. There is no question but that
! Democratic senators above the Masonbixon
line are in part dependent on
* the support of the Irish and the He1
brews.

"No Tip" Enthusiast V
Paris, Dec. 23.?A man who did
not want a tip caused an Incipient di
riot in Paris recently. Ha was the di
ownei of a taxi motor-cab, and F
thought he could operate his own at
property as he say fit. So he placed ni
on his vehicle a sign reading: 441
own this taxi, and I accept no tips." to
The ruction was caused, not by a w
rush of customers, but by the anger ft
of fellow taxi-drivers. "What does di
this upstart mean?" asked one, th
climbing down from his seat and hur- di
rying toward the revolutionary car th
with threatening vigor. "Renegade" if
cried other chauffeurs from the cab Ui
stand. le
Epithet followed epithet, anil th
meanwhile the crowd grew after the )a
fashion of street crowds in Paris, te
with the customary baker's boy, jn
butcher's boy and flock of "Midin- f0
ettes." When the crowd had grown
to impressive proportions the owner i?
of the taxi said to his colleagues: jsj
"You don't appear to like this announcement."
There was a loud jn
chorus of "No." With no backing olJ
i rum poaBioie customers, tne auda- th
cious taxi proprietor decided to
capitulate. So he took down his
sign; the crowd melted, and the tip- fe
ping system was saved. js|
Christmas Seals
' w;
This state as a whole came very tj(
near the bottom of the list in the
per capita recrrd of Christmas bonds
and seals sold last year. Only one ()f
seal was sold for every person in the olJ
state and yet the death rate from tuberculosis
in South Carolina is very
high, 1,835 deaths resulting from this rj(
disease last year. Surveys recently np
made show that there are eight to 10 ^
cases of tuberculosis to every death su
from that dissease. It is also estimated
thnt each death means an eco- B
nomic loss of $5,000 to South Carolina.
Although New York has the highest
death rate from tuberculosis, this ! .
state also had the highest per capita ;
record for the sale of Christmas seals. nj
The record last year was 7.4 seals to
J a^
every person. ^
In this state Richland county had
the largest number of seals bought
to its credit last year. Greenville,
Chester and Laurens counties came
: nc
I1CAV III UIUIT.
The largest number of deaths from
tuberculosis reported from any one .
county in the state last year was 178 m
from Greenville county, which includ- ^
cd the figures from the government
hospital. Charleston came second ^
with 170 deaths reported. Richland
county had 84 deaths excluding those w
from state institutions.

The funds secured from the sale of
Christmas bonds and seals furnish the
means for the fight against tubercu- es
lcsis, except for the. legislative appropriation
for about 150 beds hrsfie nl
state. The sale this year Is going ai
better than last and encouraging re- jy
ports are coming into the state tuberculosis
headquarters from all over the
state.
Christmas day ends the Christmas
se al and bond sale. It is hoped that a ^J1
special effort will be put forth these 'e
last few days and that the little dt
Christmas seal will have reached ev- ^
ei y nook and corner of the state by
Christmas morning. re

Moscow, Dec. 23.?Automobile
taxicabs operated by private owners
have appeared in Moscow, but the
tariff is so high that on several occa
sions the government has issued ' *
warnings to the public to bewarde of 1
extortion. The street cars, about the ?r
cheapest thing in Moscow, are al- (1
ways crowded to such an extent that j
foreign visitors never consider riding
in them. The carfare is now
about 500,000 Soviet rubles, or about
two cents.
The four wheeled drosky, drawn by 01
one or two horses, which never ceased in
operation even during the revolution,
and the sleigh when snow is on the ^
ground, continues to be the most ,)(
popular way of getting about the ol
city. The drosky drivers insist upon VI
a fare about fifteen times more than 1,1
r*v
the street car charge. The taxicabs
are patronized chiefly by speculators
who are interested in daily transac- aI
tions of billions or trillions of rubles,
and who care little about what
they spend. 1

t the annual convention of the Woisn's

"We deplore many of the new Ctt*ims

ie cigarette-smoking and wineinking,
the betting and gambling

not to the majority of girls?ell
-e signs of the times. We dare not
ave them unchallenged. Some of
ie evils could be rectified by legistion;
some only by example and
