GROWING COTTON:

to Best Methods of Combating'
This Pest
How to grow cotton under boll weevil
conditions has been investigated
closely by J. Clifton Rivers, state
wnvpli??c?
vviiiiiiisMuiiri, wnosc WOl'K
has carried him into the boll weevil
sections of the state good deal, and
Mr. Uivers speaks with first hand
knowledge. "1 have taken occasion
to observe very closely I he elVorts employed
by our best farmers in combating,
by methods of preparation, planting
and cultivation of the crop so as
to successfully get ahead of the insect,''
the commissioner said.
Smooth, easily cultivated upland is
most adapted to the growing of the
staple where the weevil is located,
Mr. Rivers says in his statement issued
recently. Following is the plan
recommended by the commissioner:
"In the first instance we must think
of growing cotton under boll weevil
conditions on smooth, easily cultivated
upland, because it is impossible to
apply the proper method on rough,
stump or rocky land. Therefore, on
every farm our cotton crop must be
planted on lands selected for this purpose,
even if small in area, and the
planting of rought and unadaptable
land to other crops.
"The preparation should begin in
earlv spring where fall plowing has
not been done, and s-hou'd be thorough
and complete by plowing and harrowing
until the <oi| is put into a high
statp of cull ivition. Fertilization
should '<p ' v the application of <iuick
prowiiMj* fcrti'i/or o'm Mined trom
sources of p*>-v ; v,"' 1 si I > i' i y, like, 'ov
inst '\vr>, phosphoric acid from dis!
nrn or i'omt?'l pho-ohate rock

sodo probably 1:nd< at thp head ol

;v< /> r'rv-'P -oroiv'. O'l SHImIv Soil
deficient in potash, some kainit or
other forms of nota^h <alt< shouM :,p
added to the mi\turo. The best results
have been shown from a formulae
coin posed of HOG pound sof 1C> per
cent arid. ?00 povnds of t>i'r,,<0 of
soda, for heavy soils, wi'h an addition
of 100 pound* of kainit for sandy soils.
Prepare I,:md Well.
"When Hip l"nd selected for the cotton
crop has boen sufficiently broken
and pulverized, placed in hinrh mechanical
condition and IcvpI and
smooth and iho season has come for
the plantiwr of the seeds, which should

"Another tiling, most people have
an idoa that it takes extremely early
pVniting of tho seed to get ahead of
ho weevil, and by taking such steps,
lots of our farmers have nearly lost
vn entire crop the past year. Do not
plant until tho land begins to warm
u?). because if you do, the seed will
likely rot in the soil instead of germ- I
mating, or else die trying; to survive I
a '"to ' old snap. Planting over or
replanting. and a stand of late May
or June cotton is the result which,
oven if it does start, prows un with
*? lot of leaf and stalk and is the favorite
brooding ground or prey of the
weevil. Usually in the northern part
of this state the time best suited to
tho olnnting of cotton is from April
10 to 25.
"Wo shou'd select our planting seed
from early, quick maturing* hand
hu'lod varieties of cotton, which have
proved to bo adapted to each community's
special climate and soil conditions.
"Those suggestions are made to our,
'armors who today are perplexed over i
' hat thoy consider a serious situation,
but which to my mind will eventually
vork good for the Hcountry

Interested people patiently took

of these ways. This seems to have

Ways
Plans of tin* Mfitlli (' ifoliim fiim. I
mission on Adult Illiteracy for the
establishment of night schools
throughout Horry County have the
enthusiastic endorsement of the Conway
Chamber of Commerce. This
commission Ivis selected Horry Countv
for a period of intensive work
looking to the complete eradication of
adult illiteracy within the next several
weeks.
Miss Will Lou Gray, field agent of
the commission, is in Conway making
preliminary plans for the establishment
of niirht schools in everv communi'v
in the countv where thev are
needed. The idea is to give every
man and woman the opportunitv to
learn to read and write .and to meke
the fundamental calculation of arithmetic.
Miss Cray has conferred with
officials of the Chamber of Commerce
and has been assured of the enthusiastic
support of that organization.
This support will t"ko the form of
necessary publicity, the furnishing of
speakers for various meetings where
they are needed, the distribution of
I literature provided bv tlm S4,?te De >Mflnient
of Kducation. and other activities
to be suggested by Miss (Irav.
The Chamber of Commerce realises
that the prosperity of the countv is
closely intertwined ^ ith the ed'ie^??ona>
advantages of its citizens. This
is a day in which a man's success in
any business or tr.ade is largelv <<ependent
on his ability to digest information
and facts placed at his <'i,:posal
by specialists and governmn1.nl
agencies. Those who can read have
access to the best advice of * he best
brains and hence are in position successfully
to plan the operation of
tlioir farms, shons. or stores. There

Asked to Investigate as tojjj
Women's Quarters at *|
State Pen 1
To the Women of the Waceamaw Associal
ion t Conway, S. C.: V1
In reply to your letter of recent ^
<ui Li' in which you requested me to in - :mb|
vestigate the women's quarters at the ]
penitentiary, I beg to state that on
last Saturday 1 made a personal visit
to the penitentiary and asked Repre- |fl
sentatives Leopard, of Pickens County,
!\1r. Harris, of Anderson and Mr.
Wade of Aiken, to accompany me. i
Upon an investigation we found the J
women's (|uarters all in one brick j|
building with a partition dividing the Jj
whites from the colored. There were fli
only four white women, two of them H
serving life sentences, one for ten "a
years and the other one for a shorter
term. The quarters for white women
were clean and sanitary; still, they
had to pass through tho colored quarters
to get to their bathroom and
toilet. This, however, cannot he
avoided unless separate quarters were
built for both white and colored. This . e
could be done bv an appropriation
nvide by the Legislature.
Hoth white and colored women are
dieted from the kitchen, where men
do the cooking. Superintendent Saunders
assured me that in the near future
the white women would do their
own cooking. , This, in my judgment,
would be much better. The white
women are not required to work except
to keep their own quarters sanitarv
and also to do their own launder|
iug. t
There is another building inside the
penitentiary grounds that could be
remodeled and turned into women's
quarters, which would give ample
room for both white and colored, and
until this i< done, conditions will have
to remain as they are.
