ClelusonI College.-The boll weevi has made its appearance in tei counties of South Carolina. In sevora; of these counties the weevil is nu nerous enough to damage the cottor crop to . considerable extent in 1919 Consequently, some changes in thi method of producing cotton must be made to combat this post. Among these changes will be thf planting of better seed of earlie fruiting varieties than are now gen orally used. A variety must be used that will begin to fruit early and sec a good crop of bolls by the first o! August, for after this time the weovili are usually abundant enough to de stroy all squares that appear. V1 should be a good yielder with a higt percentage of lint. A medium siz( plant is desirable. It should have but 3 or 4 vegetative branches, but fruit ing branches should be numerous both sets of branches coming out neat the ground. The cost of growing an acre of cot ton from the best seed is nogreatet than the cost of growing the samt acre from inferior seed, but the differ once int yield will often be from 30( to 500 po)ris of seed cotton per ncrs in favor of the good seed. At the pres ent piCe of cotton this would be at least $30.00 per acre, not counting tht aced. The above figures are conserva tivo, for in variety tests consistini only of varieties considered standard for the State. reisults have been obtain ed showing a greater difference that above between the highest and lowest yielding varieties, though in many cases the yiehl (if the lowest yielding variety in those tostt would be greatej than from "gini mixed" seed of inferioi varieties cotmmonly used by many growers. Consequently, those whc use low grade sed in the weevil in festad area will suffer a double loss whie tloso who use the vest varieties adapted to their sections will lose ony to the extent of damage (1ue to the weevils. That many farmers are ho ginning to realize this fact is indicat ed by the many inquirios for bette varieties and sources of seed. Them is no such thing as a "boL weevil proof" cotton. Select a variety that has been tried and has proved it self ada-pt cs to the section in which it Is to be grown. Then purchase seed from a good reliable breeder as neat home as possible; for results shom that seed ordered from a distant state where conditions are entirely different do not produce as well as native growr seed. Early fruiting and late fruiting va rivoies should not be planted in th same Comntill ity, as the weevils wil have had timte to multilply in tile fritii formed Onl tIe Cl y cottAM atid ho coe Inerouts enough to dest roj practically tll frtuit as fast as formed on the late variety.
