Cord wood right at this time or a little later ought to be a mighty saleable colinnodity ini the towns and cities.

Brief ly tlie plan is to low0 tunder cotton stalks at a (late as early as possible consistent wvith the season. Trhe ob ject ;is two-fold, firtst, to bulry mlost of the weevils, endIng thleir life, and, secoind, to remove thir~l food su~pply, it being known that tihe -weevil lives uit of thle vegetatioin of cotton algnae. fly 1'emloving tile, food suipply as earay as possibleC, thle wveevil' goes Into Win ter (luarter's in ani alr~eady -weakened condition and standls less chianti surlviving the wviiter... Thie expeOriecelC of seIlenttits in ex perimientation and of farmers in re - tual practice, even in tItis county or .Laur1enls, is that plowing unditer the stalks has far-reaching results. Tis,. wo believe, is admitted on all sides. 'The individuaA farmer who follows the 'program proflts \by -It to a certain extent. But its success is largely af feoted by his next door neighbor who may ors may not fol110v the program. A u-.w3ef cfort on the dar- or afi thu farmers, it is safe to say, would mean millions of dollars to- the faraners of the state. The obstacles to putting through i voluntary ,program as would bring the most practical results are obvious. S'omde farmers, like some townsfolk, are too slothful to (10 this extra work where no immediate profit is in sight. And again, renters of land, who .may plan to move elsewhere in the spring, will not ordinarily plow or prepare land for some other tenant who will succeed him. Other diijiculties arise. To overcome all obstacles and to guarantee a co-ordinated effort on the part of all the farmers, it has occurred to The Advertiser that the legislatur: might enact a law making it a crim inal offense for any land-owner to leave cotton stalks standing in his fields after a certain date which may appear reasonable. For the land-owner i% ho rents out his land. provision may be made for him to transfer the re sponsibility by incororating in his rent contract a provish1il that the renter shall plow under his stalks as a part of Iiis contract or become the responsible party. To prevent undue hardship by reason of change in sea sons, the governor might .be invested with authority to extend the iinal date, counilty by county, when it appears to him that conditions justify it. The Advertiser does not advocate such a law. It merely suggests it as a law which the farmers may advo cate. The Advertiser is not inl)-he farming business and naturally would he Lree from such a drastic law. For that reason we do not w isli to appear as advising that such a law be passed. Ilowevcr. it has occurred to us that such ai Iaw would be effective, could he fram1ed with such reasonable prov' sionls that it would not work a hard ship oil anybody and at the same tilt', nost important of all, it woo d bring ab')uit that. co-ordinated effort of the flirmers of the state which is admit tedly ne cessary if the 1boll weevil is to fought with any reasonable degree of su('cess. Thie Advertiser "would like to have the Views of its farmer readers on the sulaject. If the plan appeals to the farmers of ILaurens county it will ap peal to the farmers of all the counties an l In that case it might be possible to get started in time for next yeprt''s er'Op).
