Clemson College, 'Dec .-In spite >f the efforts of scientists employed I by the various Southern states and ,he United Sttaes Department of Ag- 1 riculture, and in spite of the various I :limatic conditions encountered over I the cotton growing states, the boll weevil has annually extended opera-1 Lions, the advance line of this pest hav ing moved entirely across South Car slina, leaving the state infested from the mountains to the coast. Fortu niately for the farmers of South Caro- 1 ina, says W. W. Long, I)lrector of the i FIxtension Service, we are able to draw lessons from the experience of other states over a ieriod of nearly thirty years, the boll weevil having entered < Texas In 1892. This should enable its' to aveid many of the costly mistakes 1 that have been made over and over I Again by the cotton growers of the I statesf further west. I Clemson Agmicultural College and I ,he United States )epartmient of Agri- 1 2niture have made ;occial studies of I he boll weevil problem, co-operating I with every -agency interested along i his line. At frequent intervals re iable information has been issued I vith the view of keeping our -people 1 .horoughmly informed regardinq th(s c )cst and the methods of 'fighting It. I a 1916 the College was instrumental E n organizing the South Carolina Boll f Weevil Commission, which went into t he infested states of Louisiana and viississippi and studied the weevil at I Irst hand under conditions similar to a hose prevailing in this state. The, L eport of the Commission issed by i ilomson In November, 1916, as Bulle in No. 20, containing practically all c he reliable information of importance n hat had been developned regarding. r he boll weevil problem. This report b and a wide cIrcurlation and was con- t< ideredl to be so thorough and accu- '9 ate that the United States Senate d miblished It in February, 1917, as a e ienato Document. This Document I R nlow available in revised form. Ma-' b 'y other bulletins, reports, and spec- t< al articles deal-inig with specific phases e f the p~roblem have been issued from 3 !me to time. The I~xtension Service, t broumgh the county agent system, has n1 ept this information before the peole u1 onstantly. As a result the average a rmer of South Carolina was wvith- I 'Y TiiK.

ONIC TEMPLE TONE IN CLINTON LMusic was furnished by an excel lent choir of 35 voices. The procession preceding the cere inony .was an elaborate one owith over Lhree hundred Masons in full regalia taking part. Many lodges from points all over the Piedmont section A the state were represented over 25 odges sending delegates to the cere nony. It was the largest gathering )f Masons ever hold in Clinton. After the ceremony a supper was served to over 400 Masons and at night hey were the guests of Campbell LUodge No. 44 A. F. 'M.

Other states have had this iprob em to face, and while they suffered everely they have demonstrated that here are ways of dealing with the )011 weevil problem. Cotton is being ,roiwn ill spite of the boll weevil. It vIll be grown in South Carolina: in ipite of the boll weevil. This is not he time, therefore, to ipermit our elves to become depressed and pes imistie. Instead, we must study the >roblem thoroughly and learn the nethods and practices which enable >ther farmers to produce cotton prof tably under boll weevil conditions. Before relying upon boll weevil in ormation, we must be sure that 'it omes from a source that can and 1oes dissei miate rvliable information. ly studying information from relia >ie sources and adapting it to our par icular needs we can adjust ourselves nuch more quickly and economically o the new conditions enforced by the oll weevil. We cannot rely upon in ormation based on one year's eiper ence with the 'weevil. The best in oriation is that based on many years if experience such as the states of klabama have had. These states have lad time to adjust themselves to new Onditions and to adopt new farm 'ractices, whereas the newly infested actions aire still floundering around rom one thing to another 'in an effort o find remedies for the boll weevil. There is no single new crop which 'romisei to take the place of cotton 9 our money crop. There is no com ination of crops which can be recom iendod as a specific. Experiment has shown that cotton ontinues to be grown as the chieL money croi> In the cotton states al eady infested by thelweevil. It would o well, therefore, for us to continue > grow cotton, using the best 'boll !eevil control measures, and to un ertake the growing of new money reps only on a conservative scale.' lunging on new unknown moy caps rings on problems that are as hard solve as is the problemn of growing otton under bell 'weevil conditions. Ve must simply adapt ourselves to lie changed asp~ects of farming and meat new conditions with suitable' 10ethods. Extension flulle6in -18, "Farming nmder Iloll Weevil Conditions," has eei nublished by the E~xtension Ser ice to aidI in the light against the o1l weevil.

Although Democrats will greatly impede its passage througii the senate, its final passage Is appai ently certain. The Republicans have caucused and agreed. The bill 'was introduced b) Representative Dyer of Missouri, and In teh beginning it was generally be lieved that Republicans, with large negro populations to cater to would be satisfied with an active sponsorship without insistence that it be written into law. It develops today that the Republicans are determained to put 11 through. The bill -would transfer all cases Involving lynching from state tc federal courts, would fine and Impris on from five years to life any one par ticipating in a lynching, would impris on an officer lax in protecting a ipris oner, and would fine the county in w.hich a lynching occurred $10,000. Democrats are fighting the bill stron uously. They contend and believe that it is unconstitutional in that it wvarrants an invasion of state rights by the federal government, although it is probable that a section imprison 'rig an offmcer found guilty of with holding protection is constitutionai, Similar statutes obtain in Illinois, Ohio -and South Carolina. They have not decreased lynching. Representa tive James F. Byrnes of South Caroli na, leading the fight against the bill, de clares that during the 11 years an an ti lynching provision has been in the constitution of South Carolina, the lynchings have been only two less in number than during the 11 years pre Ceding.
