^the situation today as regards con

the saine-thmg will, happen in July of!
xhe coming season, as. there-is a lim- ;
ited supply of middling cotton.
"As the demand gradually turns tto j
the lower "grades,"' we expect a sharp !

Boll Weevil Damage in 1920.
j Clemsbn college, Dec. 22.?We are I
j continually asked to forecast weevil!
damage for. this State in 1920. This
j cannot be done by any one with any
j great degree of dependence owing to
j the fact that the weevil damage is di
I rectly dependable on winter minimum '
j teTperatures or summer rainfall or |
I b?th,; says" Prof. A. F. CcnradV State I
Entomologist. . Furthermore, in In- i
j vading South Carolina" the pest ap
?pears under climatic conditions which
j present hew' features and it will be
; necessary to see the pest in action \
'< for at least one year in this State
jfor ua to be sure of our bearings.
I It :is a general rule in the history
i^f weevil ^damage that little injury
} occurs durfng the first, year after the
[weevil's appearance the previous fall. j
I The first year after its appearance is i
[called the, first year 'of its estoblishr i
