TWO <0??????? MUST FIGHT NOW COUNTY AG EN [What the Farmer Must do?1 erly Fresh From l ive ritorv in " The Herald is reprinting from the l.ee County Leader and Vindicator, of Bishopville, the full text of a talk which was made by County Agent J. P. Quinerly to the farmers ami business men of Ix*1 County at a mass meeting. Mr. Quinerly is undertaking to arouse the cotton growers of Lee J County to make a winning figlU aigainst the l>oll weevil, which, in t c absence of such fight, is expected to <lo great damage in Lee Count} '.hi. year. The meeting in l?ishopv;lle last Wednesday night was largely attended and Mr .Quinley's speech made a profound impression. It is a very un- 1 usual thing for a county newspaper j to publish as long a speech as this in i full, but the Leader and Vindicator: could not have put its space to better i account. Mr. Quinerly came to Lee County i from Alabama, whore he had spent | five years in boll weevil territory. His talk is a fighting talk and lu i- doing Iiis part, and more, to defeat the wee-; viI in Lee County. The Herald believes that his speech ; will be read with interest and profit ! in every county in South Carolina1 where the boll weevil is a factor this year. The fight against the boll! weevil must be won in the next six weeks if it is to be won at all, and Air. Quinerly is not only confident that it can be won, but he tell how j this is to be accomplished. The text of his speech in full is as follows; >lr. Quinerly's Address. It is absolutely within the power or the farmers in this county to literally j cheat the hoi! weevils out of several | thousand bales of cotton, and thereby increase their yield from 2~) to ~>0 pei cent over what it will be if no effort is made to control the weevils and i. conditions are not unfavorable for them. But if this cotton is saved the fight must start tomorrow, and the battle will be over in six or eight weeks. Properly directed, in a deterniini'i f<i miltml the weevils. there is suHicient labor on almost every far in to make a profitable crop of '<1 oiton, without much, if any, additional expense, no matter how many weevils you may have now?unless we have an extremely wet June and July, then very litle cotton is ever made under weevil conditions. However, human nature is pretty much the same the South over and it is probable that you will get your boll weevil knowledge largely from experience, just as they have done in al> most every section between here and Texas. We are from Missouri, but what it takes to show us the boll weevil has it. There are a lot of doubting Thomases here now, but they will all be converted in a year or two. If the weevil has run true to form and varied not from section to section in his march across the cotton belt during the last thirty years, how can we hope CARDUI HELPED REGAIN STRENGTH ?v Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous and Depressed?Read Her ?Twn Story of Recovery. i Faint Rock, Ala.?Mrs. C.

QuinYears in Weevil Ter- J Alabama. i( < 11 for him t*? suddenly chrnge, now that ; ho has reached Loo Comity? Farmers , havo usually argued that the weevils \ may be very had in other sections, ^ hut that their farms are either too 1 i high, too far north, too dry or too j somehow for the weevils to ever des-j troy their cotton. Others content their, selves with the hope that some special 1 dispensation of Providence will pro toot them or harhor the erroneous idea t that the weevils do only a little tem-u porary damage and then pass on he- \ cause they are till raising; cotton j where they have weevils, especially in 1 Texas. But the truth is that where i; Tonus now raises so much cotton the i climate is too dry and hot for weevils t to thrive, and that this territory was \ not planted to cotton many years ago. i and in tlio other cotton States cotton \ is being raised in spite of weevils hy t different methods and on a different c basis from pro-weevil conditions. ; These sections have learned through > hitter experience, as you probably will .< what it tal:es t?> pro.-per and raise cot 1 ton iti spite of boll weevils. 1 wish it \ were possible to save you that ordeal. 1 From the Rio Grande to South Car- < olina, the path of the weevil has been ; littered with conditions that created nothing less that a state of panic for < * 1.1 1 ^ A a low years, n nas noon nis custom i to paralyze credit, stagnate business, : bankrupt farmers, demoralize labor, I and knock the bottom out of land : values, in the all cotton section. This i same little bug has broken more men, < foreclosed more mortgages, and hung i "for rent" signs on more stores in the ? South than have all other factors combined. Seeing is Relieving. Seeing is believing. I had read about boll weevils all my life and like] you thought most of the reports were i>unk, but when I went to the infested area to live in lOlo. 1 realized that no one ever has or can exaggerate what weevils can do. For five years 1 lived in Alabama and traveled throughout the State. This gave ire a splendid opportunity to observe the effects of the weevil when he firs: appealed in different counties an i after he had been there from one to five years. Thinking that some of you might be interested in such a narrative. I took the nrivileee of ir vitintr you to attend this meeting and hear a discussion of what experience has taught to be true about weevils. I hope you will interrupt me at any! time when you wish to ask a question. I will answer it if 1 can and tell you so if 1 cannot. First of all let us clear up a lot of the misinformation which is so gen-' oral regarding boll weevils, their history, habits, characteristics, possible damage, and the best method of niinijmizing this damage. No matter what | others may say to the contrary, any authority will tell you that what follows are the facts in the case as determined after years of observation land study by expert entomologists and practical farmers. The weevil came from Mexico. He J crossed into this country when the I Texas farmers converted their ranche.. | into cotton fields all the way to the border. Had southern Texas never begun to grow cotton within a hundred miles of the Rio Grande, the (weevils would have probably never been able to establish themselves in 'Texas from whence they have migrated year by year, on an average of {about sixty miles, 1 believe, i A Cotton Specialist. . Th(? weevil is a cotton specialist. He does not eat any plant except cotton, i to anv extent, and he cannot repro duce his kind cxcept in the fruit of cotton?either the squares or young boll?usually the former, except in i wet summers when even the grown bolls are attacked. Weevils subsist by . sucking the buds and tender square.4 of cotton. They do not eat the plant, therefore their damage is less notice' able until late in the year when the ? absence of blooms and fruit is ver.. , evident. t | It is not the habit of weevils to fl\ from place to place or from field t< 1 field at this time of year. Cotton if f what they are looking for when the\ . come out of hibernation and whei I they find it, they no more fly ovei i the country looking for other cottoi t than you would leave a good turkey e dinner and maybe have to eat at ; sandwich stand. Later in the yea 0 when they have become so numerou 1 .that both food and breeding place i- are scarce, many weevils migrate e .just as boos swarm at certain seasons t They all do not leave and those tha e ,<lo probably have no particular direc I tion to go but we can only trace ther > | in the newly infested areas. The Y, j are thought to make these annu; y migrations hv short successive flight; totalling as I have said an overage c about sixty miles p<*r year. How Weevils Hibernate. I heard the statement on the stre< i Saturday that weevils have gran< children in three days, but this is n< true. The truth is that on the avei g] a^e three weeks are required for rr, generation of weevils to develop froi _ to adult and therefore they do m y? have grandchildren under six or ei#l ^ j weeks. I All tlie weevils that we have in Ix ^5 County now have survived the wii yjj ter because they have not yet h;i ? squares lontf enough to raise an ^ young. The number of weevils in tl Tg spring depend.- upon whether or n< ?. the winter was favorable or unfavo: *2 able for them to survive in hiberns ?#|tion. Last winter was very favorab and we probably have a heavy infest ^ Jtion. On the average, I believe it ?)iclairned that 3 per cent of the hibe TO HOBBY HERALD, OQNV nated weevils survive but this varies from 1 per cent to as high as 40. All weevils do not come out at once in the spring. Some probably come [>ut too early and die but others wait long enough to be safe. They usually find nearby cotton and begin to feed on it bv sinking the buds or the largest stalks which develop a withered >r fr >st bitten appearance. Such a condition is a sure indication of the [>res< nee of a weevil on or near that *ta!k. You will find more weevil:ici'v Iho wood;, stumps. t ro^s, hod ire ows. barns, and other places suitable "or hibernating quarters. And the >voevils are almost always in the buds if the largest stalks of cotton in the norning but hide under the leaves ater in the day. Multiply bv i\lillior*. Fr:>m those earlv weevils, which lave survived the winter, thousands md millions are raised later, since i hev are very prolific. Soon after) ;<iuares are formed on the cotton tho ( .veevils quit the buds and begin to! juncture tho sounres with their loner ills making a hole about tho size of i small noodle. T.argor punctures are lot caused by boll weevils. Some of lie squares have open holes in them .vhi'le others are sealed up. The for-1 nor are called "feeding1 punctures," vhilo the others are "breeding puncures." Tho latter contain a weevil "gg which in a few days hatches into( i tiny worm called tlio larva. This .vorm eats out tho inside of the jqunre and charges or molts into a loot'o like creature called a pupa, vhieh in turn devolopes into tho adult weevil that gnaws out of tho square i >r young boll and the life cycle startsi [ill over again. The average female weevil lays 1!0 Bggs and on 1ho average three weeks (two in midsummer and as long as seven in the late fall) are required! Tor the development through difTeront stages from egg to adult. Many far-, tors work against maximum reproduction luit in favorable seasons the offspring from one pair at this time can he several millions. If -ill live' in each generation the number would he ahout 12.500.000 descendants from I one pair in early spring. Plans for the Battle. Now, we are most interested in i learning what can ho done to control or eradicate the boll weevil because we know they are with us. Unfortunately, there is no known means of making a full crop of cotton when weevils are present, but experience has taught that their damage can be greatly reduced by control method?. 1 will discuss only what can he done fr<>m now on to help save this crop. (There are some very important things that ought to have been done last fall, winter and spring) but we didn't do them even though the weevil played the part of a gentleman and sent advance notice that? he planned to "share crop" with us this year.)

WARRANTFOR JOE CAUSEY Ernest Puss Said to be Out of Hanger From Wound BOND ALLOWED BY MAGISTRATE Officers Would Not Enter! tin Proposition of Compromise of A warrant was worn out last wv.?fc for the arrest of Joo Causey, nl <iut thirteen years old, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill Ernest Uuss. It was. not necessary j to take the boy into-custody as he was already loured, in. tlie couuty jail alter he had run to the sheritV, short- : ly after the shooting -and given himself up, so to speak. He remained in jail last week. At first it was expected that Ernest Uuss, a boy of about the same age as Causey, might not survive the wound which was made by the entry of a load of shot from a breech loading shot gun into his hity region. The shot were extracted. however* and after several days of waiting to see whether blood poisoning might set in, Dr. 11. il. Burroughs issued a certificate which the sherifV held at last accounts, to the eilect that the boy was at last out of danger. Until the nature of his wound proved itself, with time, it could not be toid whether the Causey boy would bo tried for mur dor or for assault and battery with intont to kill, and as usual, in all such cases, the oflicers saw fit to hold tlie young defendant; and if the Russ boy had taken a turn for the worse and i died, then the Cau.se y boy could not I be let to bail except upon the order! of a circuit judge under a habeas cor-1 pus writ. I In the meantime there was a lot of, floating talk about what would be I done with this boy. Some said that the Judge of Probate would have to take him in charge and his period in the reformatory was variously fixed' at from one year until his arrival at j the age of twenty-one; but the Judge I of Probate said nothing. It appears, that under the law of 15)12 oflicers arc required to report to the Probate Judge when any child under eighteen years of age is arrested charged with any crime. The judge of Probate has j power, under this act, t.o summon the . parents before him when a petition is filed with him to the effect that a child lias become unmanageable or | his home has become an unfit place j for the child to live, and on other! j grounds stated in the act such as con- j ' stantly running at large and asso-j 'dating with people of bad character 'etc. So far as could be learned the Proi>ate Judge had no yet decided to I 1. . ? I! i* _ 1 t r* mKt* junsiucuor. ot me ooy, ana furthermore as it appears that the | charge is beyond the jurisdiction of J any court except the court of General Sessions, under this same act the Pro- j bate Judtfe would have to certify the! cae to the circuit solicitor. In the | opinion of some of the lawyers who J have expressed voluntary opinions) on the same, there is much about this j law of 11)12 that is ambiguous and j there is no telling what would be; done with it in the supreme court. I Magistrate \V. H. Chestnut, before whom the warrant for Causey's arI rest was sworn out, decided to grant bail as soon as the wounded boy was known to be out of danger, and the only thing was the securing of bondsmen. In the meantime, Tobe Causey, I father of Joe, saw the parties on the i other side of the case relative to a compromise of the. case upon his moving out of town with the boy and paying all charges including the hospital ' bill. This was finally refused for the reason that a case of this kind can ' not be compounded out of court. It is against the law to compound such 1 a case. If the compromise goes ' through, it will have to he in court ? with the approval of Hon. L. M. GasI <iue, the circuit solicitor. ' It appears that these hoys had trouble before the shooting and ow ing to some vulgar or profane words used. Joe Causey had been struck II and hurt so that his clothes were covered with blood when he got home 1 from the place where they were play ing together. ? o NOTICE OF SALIC.
