To the Editor of The State:
I ran see from The State that my
friends in Carolina are becoming
worried.over the proepetlre arrival of
th wetvi| and as we have had four
4. or five years experience, thought I’d
offey soi
Don’t
so-called
seed on the theory that seed grown
further north is your only salvation.
Buy a f*w and test them by measur
ing the land, weighing the cotton
, and If in staple belt by comparing
' net money value. Don’t change thf
distance of row* to give more sun
light. Recollect that when the
weevil does reach you you won’t
mate any cotton In August and the
more stalks at usual dlr.tancea gives
you more bottom crop bolls and the
only one you'will nick.- The second
year of weevil in ,the-d*lta of Mis
sissippi government agents and
speakers advised, wider rows and
x more distance in drill and I saw
\ rows that you could drive a 1*0-
' , *horse wagon down planted In Simp
kins and King cotton when the rows
r hould have been three feet on delta
land and two and one-half feet on
Mil land for these dwarf cottons. I
have been over the whole weevil belt
from here to Texas and In one neigh-
* borhopd you will find one cotton the
favorite, in th» other you will find
• different variety.
Don't plant over one-half of your
Crop in cotton. Plant the other half
. In corn. 'pens, grain. Stop all plowW
on Monday and pick squares and
weevils until July 15. After that
date weevils are too numeroua. Keep
plowa rnnning until ready to pick.
Don’t stop the plows »n dry weather,
the hotter the wegther the more
weev<la vou kill In the hot dust. I
asked one I.ouislana planter. “How
do you get your nesroe* to pick
aqu&rcs and weevil?” He said: "If
they don’t bring me weevils and
„ nonages they don’t get their rations ”
. Th* labor'soon finds that it pays.4o
pick ub squares.
Begin now, Mr. Supply Merchant,
to change your business: force vour
* customers ■ to raise all their feed,
meat end molasses. If you don’t do
th's. the third year of weevil Infes-
trtlon in South Carolina will find a

weevil hits you hard: lk»n‘t let

believe that there are many people
n South Carolina who would like to
contribute to this work.
Tl}£ officers of the Association in

receive such contributions. The
needs are urgent. The money which,
has been raised thus far has been
devoted to purchasing hospital and
urgical supplies and comforts for
the wounded. Outfits for destitute
■hildren have also been forwarded.
Three-shipments of such supplies
have already gone and in addition »o
this the association has sent to the
American Ambulance Hospital in
Paris a check for $150.
