FERTILIZER IS
THE REMEDY
Editor^ Daily Item:
I believe when a man does a
?good thing, do not wait for him to
die to talk or write about it, but
tell him while he. is here and let
...m know it is appreciated, and
he is deserving- of credit and as
sistance.
I allude to Mr.. Williams* letter
in The Item of ,the 3th. He is
nright. -I have always contended
that the Anglo-Saxon race had
met" and surmounted every diffi
culty and knew that the little in
seci would have to succumb as
soon as mind and energy was ap
plied.
He is riglit in pointing out the
fact that landlords must help
their tenants, and shows plainly it
fetio their interest to do so.
. *Wr. Williams* letter coming as
advice from a citizen is good enough
in itself, but added to its value is
the fact that being an employee
-Of the government he can. and will
use his induence to get aid for auy
?one wishing it from that source in
fighting the common pest, the boll
weevil. Yet he plainly indicates
that to whip the weevil it will take
high fertilization, rapid work, and
untiring watchfulness, especially in
the preparation of the field before
the cotton is planted.
Respectfully.

Center of Negro Population: 1020.
Washington. Oct. 15.?The de
partment of Commerce announces
that the center of negro population
as determined by the Bureau of
the Census on the basis of the
^Fourteenth Census, enumeration
laken January 1. 1920. is located
In latitude 34 degrees. 46 minutes,
52 seconds, and longitude S3 de
grees, 30 minutes. 48 seconds, be
ing in the extreme northwesterr
corner of Georgia, in Dade county
?about 1 3-4 miles north, northeast
of Rising Fawn town, and that for
the fijrjst time in the history of the
country this center has has moved
northeast. being approximately
9.4 miles farther east and lift.4 miles
farther north in 1920- than it was
in 1910. Its former movements
have all been in a south west *r\;
direction. In 17!?0 it was ?ocated
w2? miles west, southwest of Peters
burg, Dinwiddie County. Virginia,
and one hundred years later, in
in 1390. it had moved south weit
^t>3 miles to a point 15.7 miles
southwest of Lafayette. Walker
county, Georgia, the same county
in which it was located in 1SS0.
Between 1890 and 1900 it crossed
the state line into Alabama, its lo
cation in 1900 and again in 1910
^l?eing in DeKalb county. Alabama.
Tfs northeastward *movement after
laiuJias brought it back to the
state of Georgia.
The northeasterly movement of
Hie center of negro population be
tween 1*10 and 15*20 i:? due prin
cipally to the great increase in the
negro population of Massachusetts.
Connecticut. Xew York. Xew Jer
_sey. Pennsylvania. "West Virginia.
Ohio. Indiana, and Michigan. The
total increase in the nejrro popu
lation of the I'nited States wys
OS5.36S and it will be uoted that
Vae increase in the northern states
nlentioned was 56 per cent .of the
total increase. This northward
movement of the negro population
nrts due mainly to the expansion
*of certain Industries during the
world war, the high wages paid l?e
Sng the great attraction. It is prob
ably true that there has been ?
TOBStderatble return movement since
the war, da" fe the depression in
certain industries, ;?nd that a
large number of negroes have mov
ed south to their former bone s.

Growing Cotton.
(Abbeville Press & Banner).
Mr. J. A. Evans, of Washington,
D. C. was in Abbeville this morn
ing to discuss with the farmers of j
the city and county the subject of 1
i growing cotton under boll weevil1
conditions.. Mr. Evans has been
connected with the United States,
department of agriculture for a j
j number of years, being one of the!
first demonstration agent* ever ap-j
j pointed. In addition to this he'
has been engaged in fighting thei
j boll weevil for seventeen years and j
is prepared to give sound advice!
on the subject.
One of the things Mr. Evans
said, which, by the way. is over-:
looked very often, is that the j
fight against the weevil* cannot be j
waged the same way under all con- j
ditions and in all localities. Re
j ferring to the advice sent out last j
spring that the poisoning of the]
I weevil be deferred until ten per j
cent, of the squares. were puno-j
I tured, Mr. Evans stated that he i
j believed this sound advice in the'
Delta country, but here, where thej
plants grow only about a foot high j
and when comparatively few bolls!
ever grow on the single plant, he ?
believed the tight should com-j
mence early, and be made con
sistently. This has been the ex
perience we believe of those who
; have undertaken to poison the wee
vil this year. If the old weevils
can be killed as .they come from
i their hiding places in the winter.
: and if the souares are kept picked:
! up in the early season, there is no ?
reason why cotton cannot be!
j grown.
Mr. Evans emphasized 'the ad !
vantages to be gained from plow-!
j ing under the cotton stalks. The !
! weevil does not eat when he is in [
Ibis place of hibernation. But un-'
; t:l that time he does eat, and his'
j food at this season of the. year is j
the green leaves on the cotton;
I plant. If these ,are destroyed,:
; there is a space of time between j
! then and frost when many of the:
j weevils will starve to death. It is 1
: for this reason that a movement ;
I just now is on foot to induce plant- j
Icrs everywhere to destroy their!
jstlaks as? soon as the cotton is*
[picked.
I Mr. Evans believes strongly - in!
ithe poisoning of the weevil by the!
j calcium arsenate method. He be-!
llieves with the authorities of Iiis,
(department that dusting is the best ;
! method, but he is not prepared to;
say anything against methods which j
j other people find effective. He.!
i however, says that the experiments:
i of the department to which he is|
j attached have shown dasting: to '<
j i>e the best method of applying!
'the poison. He thinks the dust!
:will be cheaper in a few years and!
? ?hat the means of applying it wiii
I be made more effective, as will
?also the poison itself.
? Mr. Evans holds out encourage-';
i ment to the -man who has deter- j
! mined to whip the light. He says
'that can be done without poison,
j even. We ore not prepared to *
i follow him all the way. because in :
'years like the last two years, we;
? do not believe cotton can be grown !
:herc successfully Avithoui it. Cer- i
: tainly not in those sections where?
ithe infestation has been so great.
'Farmers in McCormick county and
[in the flower section of Abbeville
county, wil? bear us out in this;
: opinion we believe. However. he:
j has this to say and there is some- ;
j thing in it, that every man will j
?get the benefit of"his own work in:
j trying to fight the weevil. Until
?the period of migration comes the:
! weevil does not move about much,
'and does not go from one field to
another. During this period the
j early crop is grown and the farm-;
t er who is able lc? keep the weevil
! whipped ^during this period may
j make sure o? a crop.
Mr. Evans advocates the work of
j soil-building and of growing feed
jand food crops as an effective
j means of helping with the fight.
'People here have learned the les
;Son we think that they cannot
i produce only cotton and hope to
jget along on the farms. More and
? more they will learn to make the
; farms self-supporting.
j We have experimented some our
! selves with the xveeril, and while
?we believe, with Mr. Evan that
j every man gets the benefit of his
_ own work in the early stages of
! the fight against the weevil, it is
j undoubtedly true that when the pe
! riod of migration comes, the wee
jvil moves from the badly infested
j field into the field .of the farmer
? who has been making a fight
fagainst the weevil. In one of the
i fields of which we have knowledge
j and which we observed closely.
? the weevil came in from the field of
ia farmer who did not use poison,
'and destroyed the cotton in the
j poisoned area for a hundred yards.
! Another farmer who poisoned only
j twice, but who had cotton adjoin
! ing a field which was poisoned
;told us only Saturday that he made
'his best cotton adjoining the field
! where the cotton was poisoned. A
j difference of opinion in this mat
i ter may be du?- and probably is
j due to the fact that some of the
! late eolton may be saved by pois
ionirig while heretofore the late
[crop has been abandoned to the
[weevil. However, wie are inclined
j to the belief that ;i farmer who
j allows the weevils to breed in his
? field without taking means of de
[stroying them is harhoring a men
face to his more industrious neigh
bor :ind should not be allowed to
i plant cotton. If necessity does not
i drive every farmer in the county
j to poisoning for the weevil, the
?lav.- finally will, we believe. And

the general election, which conies
on November 7. Governor Harvey
recently .completed .the appoint- |
merit of election commissioners inj

Besides the election of officers,
which will in effect confirm the
recent priiAary elections, the state'
is to vote on two amendments to!
its constitution which are of state- ]
wide importance and on eleven I
others of local value in various j
counties. The two amendments
of statewide interest would em- j
power the general assembly lo,
regulate the public printing, and1
to authorize county authorities to'
assess abutting property for high- j
way improvements.
?The other eleven amendments. |
all- of local importance, would au- j

A Bold Fake in Oil Stock Promotion
A case of bare-faced misrepre
sentation by a company engaged
in selling oil-stock is brought to the
attention of the public by the Di
rector of the L". S. Geological Sur
vey. In the advertising matter of
this company, in' order to impress
the reader with the belief that the
government has endorsed the par
ticular enterprise as a "sure thing",
a map of the region published by
the Federal Geological Survey
said to be reproduced. On the
map as printed in the rather elab
orate prospectus *a route of suppos
ed oil drainage extends from the
St. Lawrence River, in Canada,
sou t h west ward across the Ad iron -
dacks and the intervening states to
a piont on the Mississippi river.
Another route of presumed oil
drainage is shown as extending
from the Lake Superior Iron region
across Wisconsin. Illinois, and
southward along the Mississippi.
A third route of drainage is map
ped as extending from the Canad
ian boundary, in western Montana,
through the Yellowstone Park, and
[heading in a bee-line, for-eastern
Louisiana. As is usual in stock
promotion literature where such
: bogus maps are used to beguile the
small investor, the three purported
drainage routes unite exactly in
['the area where the company prop
i'erties are located, which are in this
I particular lies on the east side of
; the Misssisippi River in Louisiana.
I The title of thi^ map reads "Unit
I ed States Geological Survey map
I showing center of the oil drainage
J of United States." On another
I page of their pamphlet under the
? heading "What Uncle Sam says
\about it." the promoters say "Look
j at the map which shows the result
; of the United States Geological Sur
i vey. The map was made from
i Plate T. Bulletin 421*. This Survey
i shows the oil drainage of the Unit
ed States. As you can readily sec,
jour holdings are right in the cen
I ter of it. * ? * The government geo
j logists af- unprejudiced and their
j conclusions are always regarded as
j authentic and final."
So far as the last sentence is
I true. Director Smith of the U. S.
I Geologic&l Survey states witbout
prejudice that his "final conclu
sion" is that the authors and mak
I ers of this prospectus are plain
; crooks. There is no resemblance
! or connection between tin* govern
{
j ment map specifjcally referred to
'and the oil map of the promoters,
j Nor did tin- Geological Survey or
'any other authority ever publish
[such a "drainage" map. It is not
(only fraudulent and untruthful in
; every respect but absurd to the ex
jtreme. Judged by their advertis
ing matter alone, the prefnoters are
[either crude crooks on their own
[account or the simple-minded
' dupes of their "experts." In either
[case they are no* trustworthy ad

Sweet Potatoes For Dairy Cows.
Clemson College. Oct. 17.?The
farmers in South Carolina who are
growing sweet potatoes commer
cially no doubt have considerable
quantities of culls which can be
used for cow feed. This is true
especially if these farmers do not
have silos to furnish a succulent
ration at this time of the year.
Experiments show that the sweet
potatoes have one and one-half
times the'feed value of good corn
silage. Where they are grown ex
clusively for feed they are more
expensive to store and keep in u.u?n
liies than silage: however, the
culls can be used in this way to
earn a part of the expense for rais
ing and harvesting the potato crop.
Eighteen to twenty pounds of
sweet potatoes per day is consider
ed a good ration for a dairy cow.
says Prof. J. P. LaM?ster. chief
of the dairy division. In order to
prevent choking if i.s necessary to
cut the potatoes preferably length
wise. Farmers who are selling
cream to a local creamery or pro
ducing milk for ;, local market
could well afford to pay sT.t'U or
more a ton for those cull potatoes
to feed their cuWs, if they do not
have other succulent feeds.
