WEEVIL PROVES A BLESSING Fuller Discovers on Visit to Alabama And Georgia Luther D. Fuller, agricultural field agent of the Southern Railway, has just returned from a visit to Alabama and Georgia with a message full of good cheer for the farmers of South Carolina. In the following statement he speaks in a vein that suggests anything but fear and downJCrtedness over the arrival in this section of the boll weevil: "There is much concern in South Carolina at this time over the boll "" weevil situation, due to the fact that the advance this season is much tViac usual. In all nrobabilitv ?i^aw& r with average weather conditions next growing season there will be a surprising amount of damage done by the weevil in the older infested sections. "The same condition has existed over the entire infested sections of the cotton belt and has caused ruin I to some farmers and prosperity to others. Many farmers of this State are planting to make some changes and are undecided. These men should ^ visit points in Georgia and Alabama and get the benefit of the costly experience of the people there. You can there find that nearly every man is now prosj>erous, even in spite of the . depredations of the boll weevil, and they will also tell you that there are other money crops besides cotton, and for v hich there is. ready market. "Last week, in company with some cotton growers from Barnwell county. I visited some of the sections in South Georgia and Alabama and we found no evidences of poverty, but in its place we found wealth. Many gins ?*???? ?ppr alone the route, which was made in automobiles, but only a very few were operating and some had not operated this season. Yet there i was a wealth of peanuts, corn, vel-1 vet beans, sorghum, cane, sweet potatoes, h( gs and cattle. "pearly al! farmers plant from one to ten acres to cotton per plow, yet we found no fanner who said that cotton is the best money crop, with or without the boll weevil. All agreed that peanuts were the best money crop they had, and that the Oil mill market and others could use the entire output and more" still. "The South Carolina men on this party came back thoroughly convinced as to the damage that the weevil can do, and also that after all it helped a section. I have been with farmers .from other States into the same section on inspection tours, but the South Carolina men were much more enthusiastic over what they saw than the others, and they will prosper as a result. "Every cotton grower and banker in the infested area of this State should take this same trip, and the State will prosper greatly and will get more benefit from the boll weevil in the long run than any other State. The points to visit should be Albany, Arlington, Ga., and Columbus Dothan, Hartford, Geneva, Andalusia, Enterprise, Ozark and other places in Alabama. More advancement car. be seen in Southeastern Alabama, and the climate and soil are very similar to lower South Carolina." o Buster Brown shoes for children, none better.
