It is planned now to begin this tour about August 15t*i* and spend about ten day* in the boll weevil territory. The tour will be educational, tbe Idea being to have our farmers see -for themselves just what the conditions are in the boll ueexil territory. The Colleton party will be met in each county through which it passes by the coun ty farm agent of the county, who will act as escort in the county, and show, the party the most interesting fa I ms and conditions. The tour will include Moultrie. Ga.. Where a large packing liopse is conducted. This will he inspect- rnd/dhe benefits ..to farmers af- d with boll weevil who li\e In the dhiR,,weevil section will he s^er. This parking house at Moultrie is dh* one which .the Orangeburg packing house is fashioned after, and is said, to he one of the‘most prosperous in the South. Mr. Risher states that he would be pleased to hear from anyone in the, county desiring to take thl • trip. The plan is for one man to furnish the car and take about three others with him. The owner of the car will give the use of the car and the others will pay for gas oline oil. etc., as their ropip«4>utinn towards the expehses of the trip. Each will defray his own hotel hills, etc. It is figured that the total cost of the trip will, therefore, be small for each person, and that the bene fits will he great.
