^ EORMER LEXINGW HOW TO I Mi'. J. B. Kirklaiid Writes Interestingly From Alabama?Speaks From Experience. Editor of the Dispatch-Xews: I have been thinking for quite a while of writing to my old friends and acquaintances of Lexington County through your columns. Seeing a re'port from the agricultural department that the cotton boll weevil is about to make his advent in your midst interests me very much, as no one knows except those who have had experience the effect they are going to have on the farmers. It has been said by many that the VV Wj II ii> CL 111 UIO?> UiOt. *<J\s v it is from one point of view, but while that is the rule there are exceptions, I mean individually. For instance, ther will be some unbelievers?those who dont believe they are as bad as they have been reported to be and they think that they can make cotton in spite of them. Now stick a pin right here: it is the unbeliever that is going to get stung. I speak from experience. I thought I could inake cotton right on just like many others who got stung, thougn I had plenty of advice that would have saved me hau, I taken it, which was diversify; plant some of everything your land and climate is suited for, with just 'a little cotton. By planting some cotton you will learn how to make it under boll j weevil conditions, and be sure not to , depend on your cotton for anything. ; I have seen fields of cotton that did I not make one boll, in fact every square ; fell before it bloomed. You may be encouraged to plant cot- [ ton. because they are making it in | Texas and other places where they have had the weevil for several years, but they have the advantage of you on two important points: First, they understand fighting- the weevil from years of experience; second, the weevil! 1680 REPORT OF TH] The Carolina I fit Columbia in the State of South Septemb RESOU Loans and discounts, (x)Total loans Customers' liability account of "accept; bank and by other banks for account o1 standing U.

I can only tell you ! what saved the day here. Raise live J j stock and in order to raise stock you have to~ raise corn, velvet beans, peanuts, shuffcrs, pinders, in fact some ! of everything that stock will eat, inj eluding winter grazing. No stock will do well on one diet. i Now I have written the above hop, ing that some who read it may start j to thinking over the matter and get i all the advice you can from your | experimental station and prepare for ! their coming, because very few realize what havoc they will work when they come. What has become of your many correspondents? I hardly ever see anything written from the rural districts. It seems the editor has to pick everything himself that gets in his paper.
