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 ? ~

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

the county. An unusual circumstanc*
in connection with the ceremony ii
that both, Miss Mary Ingram and Mr
Hoyt Dozier are deaf and dumb.

Mr. Elmore Coward died earl;
Wednesday morning at the home o
his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Coward

EXPORT CORPORATION
IS MAKING HEADWAY
The American Products Export and
Import Corporation is making steady
progress toward the goal set by its
financial managers. 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. Croghan, at school house,
0 Thursday night.
Pageland, Friday night,
r Jefferson, Saturday night,
e Next week meetings will be held j

, PATRICK CHILDREN
t OBSERVE WORK DAY
b On Saturday, October 16, the chil?
dren of Patrick and a few grown-ups
- observed "work day" for the benefit
i of the different orphanages, by pick
ing cotton. Mr. Clark's cotton field
i was a scene of action as well as high
spirits. When reports of results were
5 handed in it was found that the Baps
tists were victorious, having the sum
of $22 for the orphans. The Meth
odists came next with $16 and the
t Presbyterians had $5.85 to their
? credit. The latter was earned by two
f of the school teachers and three small
children.

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.
