VOLUME XXXVIII. LAURENS, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1922. MOST PRESSING 0 IN SOUTH IS OF WEEV P'lans for Organization of Permauenit (Governmental Cotton Commission Urged at Memphis Conference. Ne. cessity of Uniform Legislation is Shoewn, .\Memphis, Dec. 4.-'ins for the or ganization of a,permanent government cotton commission iwith representa tives from every cotton producing state for the purpose pf recommend ing legislation by the states which will aid in solving problems now confront ing the industry were proposed here tolay at the second annual meeting of the cotton commission, composed of dlelgates named by the governors of twelve Southern states. Under the .plan suggested by A. W. M'Lean, of North 'Carolina, which will be acted upon before adjournment Wednesday a uniform act would be formulated for oresentation to the leg islatures of cotton producing states, which will provide for a permanent commission, the members to be named by the goverpor or legislature of each state. The necessity of uniform state leg islation 'which would enable the cotton producing sections of the country to work together in controlling and erad Icating insects, and the adoption of better methods of marketing and ware housing the staple was strongly urged, not only by government exports and state experts but tby a number of other speakerb connected with various branches of the industry. Tomorrow Henry C. Wallace, sec retary of agriculture, will deliver the principal address, outlining the work which the department has done and Is preparing to do for the cotton grow ers. The act providing for a permanent commission, as proposed by Mr, Mc Lean should, by its terms, he declared confine the sectaols of the commission "to matters of common interests and about which there shall be no con flict of Interests" and should provide, ho declared that all action of such a commission should 'be recommended only ."unless and until the various states concerned, shall -by legislative action give affirmative sanction to the Measures proposed by the commis sion and provide the means of making the same effective." Mr. McLean said the .most pressing and urgent question now facing the cotton industry in the South was the control and eradication of Insect pests. Istimating the total damage to the crop from the weevil in recent years at several billions of dollars he said: "It seems that unless some more in tensive and extensive measures are employed, the boll weevil, aided by other opests may eventually destroy the great cotton Industry of the Uni ted States" Insect pests control, particularly as it -Involves the sboll weevil must not be considered from a mere local or community standpoint nor from a sec tional standpoint", ir. McLean con tinued, "It is a great problem of both national and international concern whilch' cannot be solved without the combined effort and resources, of our federal government, the government of the cotton growing states, as well as the tbrains and resources -ofth~c plant esand business men of the whole na lion." 'Mr. McLean advocated .a campaign of publicity and eduention in order ibat the best methods- ot' solving ,tho Insect pest problem may be carried dlirectly to the door of every planter in the south. R. '1,, 'McDonald, state entomolo gist of Texas, outlined legislation al ready enaceted in that state. for the control ." of, tihe boil -WeetiI eand for *quara'n'iig..agaihst "thf" pnk. Noll -worm.'

Special authority for the establish ment of lion-cotton zones with sonic Provisions for the conmpensation of farmers for losses incurred was ad vocated by the government .expert. Closer copperation of the state gov erinent with the U. S. dpartment of agriculture in preseht control and eradication was also urged. After'suggesting the most stringent quarantine measure for the control of the pink )ol worm, which he said 'was as yet in its incipiency Mr. Hun ter said the time for measures to pre vent the spread of the boll weevil had passed and the -problem is now simply one of control on individual farms. 'He suggested community action in %planting cotton as simultancously as possible and the removal of the plants in the fall. "An individual farmer 4who does not follow proper methods may breed enough weevils to nullify the efforts of his neighbors," Mr. Hlunter con tinued. "It 'therefore appears that some system of enforcing community action by law is desirable." The need oig such a law in Alabama, Georgia and the Carolinas was stressed 'by the speaker. M'r. utinter then described in detail the Work of the department of agri culture in devising methods for con trol and eradication of cotton crop pests. Loos9 Loaf Ledgers, Etc.
