The farmers of Horry County must
work their brains as well as their
hands in fighting the boll weevil.
i 0 .
1 Increased production is the only
thing that appears neccessary to
down the prices of some of the materials
used in building.
{ ?
The raising of hogs and other live
stock is the means whereby money !
can be turned out of corn and other
food crops.
o
Horry County is blessed by the fact
that her farmers can depend to a
large extent upon tobacco as a moaev
crop in place of the cotton acreage.
Some, of the other counties of the
State have no good tobacco lands to
plant.
There is money in live stock and in
raising food crops. In states where
the boll weevil has put cotton out of
business, the bankers are already
loaning money on food crops as well
as on the fine live stock that is being
raised by the farmers.
ft
???
f Clean methods of farming are rec- I
ommended as a remedy for the ravag- I
es of the boll weevil. Cleaning up the
fence rows and ditch banks, and turning
the land under just before the
first killing frost, will have the effect
desired in killing the weevils, though
this cannot kill them all.
The only trouble this country is hav
ing from radical tendencies comes
from the foreign element in the army
of labor in the big industries; and of
course, a few fools that still exist in
our own nation.
o
It is a great pity the farmers of this
county coukl not have done more build
in^; on their places in years gone by
when lumber and other materials
y Mere cheap. It costs a great deal to
put up even a small building now.
o
The trouble that will come to those
who buy land now at the high price:*, ,
if any comes at all, will be from the (
decreased income from the lands
should the price of products go down I
below their present levels; and in i
that case where ;here are mortgages, i
the debts may take the land.
??? 1
Hard times may strike this countrv
about the time that the present inflated
condition begins to die; and at
that time it is thought that the price \
of real estate may slump to some extent.
But the present land values in j
this section of the State have come to
stay with exception of some temporary
causes like that above mentioned.
The .specialists from Clemson College
are stressing the fact that while
a poison has been found for the b 11
weevil, yet there is no means of ap- i
plying the powder to the cotton plants
so as to make the cotton effective, j
While there are agents said to be push
ing the sale of several different contrivances,
more of them will work and
the farmers are warned not to put
their money into any of them.
o
Some of the farmers in Horry j
County have not yet waked up to the
fact of the presence of the boll weevil
already in their midst. They have
doubtless planted cotton as a money j
crop for twenty years past or more;
and they think it impossible that a
pest should arrive to destroy the cotton
to such an extent that it would
not be profitable to plant the cotton
any longer if certain precautions are
not taken.
1 o
The advent of the boll weevil will
he some time forcing itself upon the
farmers of the county. They may read
several times that the weevil has arrived,
and yet not realize that this
means that in the course of a short
time they must change their ways of
farming, and depend upon other
things besides cotton for their money.
The important thing to do is to try
to make the farmers know the meaning
of the weevil.

OBITUARY.
Mitchelle Collins Cooper, the sev- J
onteen months-old daughter of Mr. |
and Mrs. T. E. Cooper, died at her
home in Wilmington, Monday, the
twelfth of January. Little Mitchell'1
was the youngest member, who attended
the Collins family reunion
which was held during the holidays.
Ker death came as a shock and was
leceived with deep regret by all who
knew her.
R. I. P.
It is with much sadness that we
are compelled to chronicle the death
(if oui good friend Nineteen Nineteen,
of the well-known Anno Domini
family, who passed away recently,
having attained the ripe old age of
1 365 days. Nineteen Nineteen was
born January 1 and died December
81, after an eventful life that had
rather more than its share of disagreeable
experiences. He managed
to keep decently clothed and fed, despite
rapidly increasing prices, and*
also was able to add considerably to
the billions he inherited upon his
birth, which was coincident with the
death of his nearest relative, Nineteen
Eighteen.
Nineteen Nineteen started his life
placidly enough, but during his early
middle age was attacked by a complication
of nervous social unrest and
maglignant labor disorders, which
afflictions he carried with him to the
i
grave, although it is not apparent
that they hastened his end. His
death was predicted by some to take
place on December 17, but, to the jov
; of all, he passed through the crisis
period successfully. There is , likewise,
nothing to indicate that the
coal strike served to hasten his end,
although he was subjected by it 4o
jkeen physical suffering.
His financial interests and the va- 1
' rious ailments to whieh he was sub- j
ject apparently absorbed all of Nine- \
teen Nineteon's time and energy. At |
any rate, it is a matter of record that j
i lie accomplished in the realms of art
land letters than some of his immc-1
diate predecessors, and nothing at all,
; in the way of diplomacy.?Life.
