BOLL WEEVIL HERE HAS BEEN FOUND IN ALL PARI OF THE COUNTY No Damage Reported To This Year Crop, But Farmers Are Cautioned To Put Themselves On The Safe Side Next Year The boll weevil has come to Che! ?v nvtu vuuiivjr. There can be no doubt of this as sertion. It has been verified in vari ous parts of the county. County Demonstration Agent W. J Tiller has seen many specimens tak en at random from different section! this showing thut the pest has not ap peared in a few isolated communities but that he has infested every par of the county. This season's crop has escaped, bu authorities are warning the cotto planters that next year's productioi will surely suffer from the inroads o the insect. The late fall has been mos favorable to the propagation of th weevil and from investigations tha have been made he is taking ever; advantage of weather conditions t multiply. In the face of these facts a numbe of things have been suggested. Th* one of most importance is the advic* from the Extension Department a Clemson College, and the same fron the American Cotton Association both of which are simply to adop methods of safe farming. By saf< farming is meant crop diversification reduction in cotton acreage and th< planting of sufficient food and feet stuffs to make every farmer practical ly independent of the feed and foo< growers of the North and West. Another piece of timely advice t< farmers is to plow under cotton stalk: as soon as the picking has been done By doing this the land will be enrich ed and 90 per cent, of the pests tha are plowed under will perishf havinj r\n mnono rlJ~ 4-V./.i ? ~ ..v ..ivw.io v?x men way uui u. the ground. The presnt panic in cotton will un doubtedly have its effect in reducing next year's acreage and appearand of the weevil should add stimulu to the planting of feed and food pro ducts next year. Now is the time t< prepare for the weevil. It will be to< late when he has destroyed half th< crop. DOUBLE WEDDING AT PATRICK Invitations have been issued an nouncing the coming marriage of th< daughters of Mrs. Stella Ingram a the same time at the First Baptis Church of Patrick, on November 11 The young ladies are Miss Mary, wh< will become Mrs. Hoft W.

So far, Chester?# field County has subscribed for more I than $50,000 worth of stock and subscriptions continue to come in. It is thought that not only will this county but also that South Carolina will over subscribe their quotas. Stock is bei ing paid for mostly in cotton, but Liberty Bonds are acceptable and 5- cash is also being taken. It is exi pected that the organization will be completed early next month and that L it will not be long until the first ship > load of low grade cotton is on its way J, to Checko-Slovakia, whose order for >- 100,000 bales has been accepted by J, the corporation. Orders from Poland t and Germany are under advisementIt is claimed by some that the success t so far had in organization is in a n large way responsible for the upo ward trend of cotton prices of the f last few days. t Meetings in the interest of the Ex-1 e port Corporation are being: held this t week as follows: y Mt.

Remember the Date : :: Chesterfield E GRAHAM MATHESON SERIOUSLY HURT On last Friday Mr. Graham Matheson was very seriously injured at the \ Seaboard Air Line crossing at Che- \ raw, when the truck on which he was coming into town was struck by a passenger train. John Ellerbe, a negro who was driving the truck was also badly hurt. Both were rushed to the hospital at Hamlet, where it is thought that they will recover. The crossing at which the accident occurred is a bad one, especially when approached from the south, as was the case in this instance. The truck | was demolished and both men were hurled some distance. Mr. Matheson is one of the best known planters in the county and has scores of friends who hope for his speedy recovery.
