Clemson College Experts Predict that the Little Enemies of the Southern ~rmer will be here in Four or Five Years. According to the report on boll weevil quarantine prepared by Clem son college for the legislature, the pest will reach South Carolina in four or flive years. "The territory that lies between South Carolina," says the report, "and the boll weevil section is rapidly growing less. The weevil has much more than regained his setback of two years ago. It is only a ,matter of four or flve years when this pest will reach South Carolina in spit of any thing that we can do. The average rainfall of South Carolina is equal to that of 'T'exas during its worst weevil years. It is true that good cotton crops were made in the northern half of the weevil belt, but pt is well to re garld this condition with reserve. There have been a series of seasons adverse to weevil propogation. 'When it reaches this State there will be a severe reaction in our agricultural practices, and it will require a few years for matters to readjulst them selves. It is our purpose to use every preraution to keep out the weevil until it reaches us by natural distri bution. For this reason the rules and regulations were revised so as to en tirely prohibit the importation of cotton seed for any purpose whatso ever. Our methods of fumigation, though very effective and of great practical value, apparently are not absolutely safe, especially when op erating in large quantities of seed. "The most serious violation of the boll weevil quarantine regulations oc cut red in Marlboro county. A report was brought to the attention of the crOp pIest t:utniillssiOn from a number of sources almost simultancously that a (arload' of cotton seed from weevil territory had arrived at llennettsville. The shipment was found and imine dilyl quarantine, fumigated and such ot'ter precautions taken to make it Least nobly harmless until a thor ough it vestigat ion could be com(let ed. 'Thl' investigation showed that the shiptlent contained 4I: sacks of Al len long staple cotton seed grown at Port (Gibson, .\liss., and shipped by S. Iternhceimer & Son, Port Gibson, to A. M. .\latheson, liennettsville. The car was routel over the V. & M. rail road, Port (Gibson to Memphis; Frisco tailronal, Mlemphis to llirminghom, and via the Atlantic' Coast Line rail road( to lIen nettsville. It was ex lainel that the detour was Imade to reduce the freight rate. A portion of the sed(l had been delivered to dif ferent parties in the county. All of the seed was collected and stored with the origiial shipment and upon ex amining the sacks after a tIremenlous fi.nigation with carbon isliphide the weevil condition was such that release was not considered safe, and the op tion was given the owner either to have the seed shipped back to Miss Issippui or have them dlestroy3edl. After thle ownier r'efutsed to resip tile seed the~ etirte conisinlgment was carefully remtfov'ed to the ilenniettsv'ille Light and Power cotmplany furnaces anid burn'ied. Other shipmenits hlavinjg a rrived in thte county were also Collectedl and~ shipped back to Mississippli with the exception of'aI stiall quantity which w~as burned. Thue complilete records of these eases ar'e Inl the crop pest commission files.
