HAVE BEEN TOLD OF AP PROACH OF INSECT THE BOLL WEEVIL Heard Address at Charleston Meeting Saying that Weevil Arrives in 5 Years our rf Anderson's well known jin nit o rn auld,yesterday timi ibo peo ple <.f tiiis section would do wo|| to bear iii mind Hie remit rice mude ut Ihe State meeting of South Carolina Hunker?., held at ciiarteston, on th? H nb jed of (bc boll weevil. This is a danger, hardly lo bu termed im iiilneni a :<i, and still lt ls a fore gone conclusion that the boll weevil will leach South Carolina and An derson coiiuly within the next few years. . Tin j >;i weevil ha about 2"o mil en to travel before it reaches thc South fut pl I? u-border and ut it:: a\ eragc rate rf migration thia will re unir ? r bout five years," said ll. II. Itawl, chief of the dalry division, bureau cf animal industry, Trilled I States ?1? Mariaient of agriculture, inj an ad ti rc on Ihr boll weevil deliver ed b?fete the South (.'a roi I na Bankers' iisKouIptlod recently in Charleston. On this premire Mr. Bawl developed plans for Uic people of the Stale by which they cnn better cope with tho situa tion v/bon tho boll weevil appears and reduces the cotton crop about f>0 per cent. Ho told of the ravages In other States and drew a parallel of similar conditions for this State. Ills remedy is that the farmers learn to grow other crops or to raise live stock aud that the hankers cooperate with thom by lending them money to build up these new ventures. Mr. Raw) traced ?.> gradual ad vance of .' tl from thc time thu. iured In the Brazos rlv%_-. f Texas, and showed by stat. :he devastation al this little a .1- has done. In nu (siana, for instance In 1904, thc cotton crop was over 1,000,000 bales, but niter the boll weevil had fully entered the State the crop decreased to less than "250,000 hales, and since then it has not exceeded 400,000 bales per annum. But worse are the figures for ten counties In the southern- part of Mississippi. In 1906 they produced un aggregate of 262. 486 bales, which wus reduced In 1 912 to 38,133 bales. Speaking of the change tn financial I conditions due to this astounding de- j crease in cotton production, Mr. nawrsaid: "Since cotton, bas become unprofit able, why do the farmers not. raise live stock? Thc answer is. they do not know how to conduct a live stock business and they have no money .to get into lt. The bankers are unwill ing to lend money for live stock pro duction, because they know that tho! farmers ure, without experience in this business and therefore loans for | that purpose would be unsafe. "Vou," he continued, "the bankers of South Carolina, have in your con trol tho most powerful single factor for dealing with thia most perplexing I problem, It is the $37,000,000 that you lend annually to the fnrmers of the state for cotton production. You ! can require as a condition of these loans that a small amount of them, say 10 per cent., be devoted to the production of money crops other than ' cotton. You can increase tholr lonns I slightly with the stipulation that the in ere a>-o and. 10 per cent., of. thu loan dosiredobarU8ed for something other than cotton.". . j , Mr. Ra wi then. went on to show how tho farm demonstration agent 1 would give any farmer aid in carrying ; out aomo of. the plans of raising gratn crops, cows, hogs, mules and other things',1 to tako the,place of tho colon, i VTh'fc^?pproachlng boll weevil," be concluded, f'will brihg to the State tho greatest economic problem that has confronted lt in the last half century, "'ItmuBt not bo considered ; the merchant's and the banker's prob I the. farmer's problem alone, for lt ls ! lcm as well; in fact, every business tn tho, state .will be affected by lt Tho task ls difficult and tho timo is short, but there is a chance hore for a great piece of constructive work for South Carolina and a chance for a great and good work for mankind."
