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."
