WEEVIL CONDITION | V ' * | The march of the boll weevil aero the cotton belt has been accompanic 4i by panic and demoralization. Farr i- era, bankers and merchants inghtei ed by one or two years of heav losses, have in many cases, curtaik ^ operations and credits to the poir ! where Tanning was stifled and labc was forced to leave the country t prevent starvation. There are sigr that a like panic may occurr in otht parts of S. C., unless means are take to reassure the people and point out safe course for agricultural opers tions under boll weevil conditions. T this end a group of practical farmei and business men in Cooperatio with the Extension Bureau have stuc ied the situation in the light of thei own 'experience and that of othe states and the accumulated exper mental results of governmental ager ces and beg leave to present the fo! lowing suggestions and program a one which will meet the situatior preventing demoralization and er aiding our farming and business ir terests to contnue profitable opera 1 tions. It is especially important to pre 1 vent our people from stampeding int c...u mai'ieu lu'tus ox agricuitur in which they will fail for lack of in ' formation and experience. Promisin, new crops should of course be teste and where proved successful shoul* ' . be increased as rapidly as the peopl . gain experience but not faster, j The problem is not *o much as ti what to do as it is how to rcassur* ' the people and ret the information o ' how to proceed to every farmer, ren ' ter, and sharecropper in the state This must be done if it is done at al by larger farmers, merchants, bank j ers and professional men who shoul* 1! make it Their business to reach th isolated farmers and tenants and dis /tuss with them the program of op , orations under boll weevil conditions . The greatest responsibility rests up i on the landowners. If they are goini 1 to continue to own their lands the; :will be obliged to see to it that thos* who farm them "have correct infor | mation and closest supervision, fo the average farm tenant must hav* sympathetic and correct instructioi J and active supervision until he thor Roughly learns the new methods of op l cration. j A few broad principles of opera : tion for the whole state may be sug I gested: j First, destroy immediately all cot j ton stalks as soon as the crop is gath j ered. This will prevent the hatehinj j of millions of new weevils during Oc tober. The old weevils do not hiber I nate until cold weather and the des I truction of their food supply wil cause them to die before frost. Th< carrying out of this suggestion a once is imperative and every effor should be made to induce every farm er in the state to do this work at once for, if only a few do it, it will have little effect in reducing next year'i weevil supply. Second, during the fall and wintei destroy all cover in which weevil may be hiding, burning ditch bank and margins of woods and clcaninj up around stumps. Fodder and haj stacks should not be allowed to re main near cotton fields. Third, cotton should be liberall; fertilizer with a quick acting ferti lizer containing about 50 pounds o available phosphoric acid per acre ammonia and potash to be used ac cording to the character and relative fertility of the soil. All application of ammonia should be put down be fore the middle of June. Over-dose of potash have a tendency to dela; maturity. Where the weed prows tal only a small amount of ammoni. should be used as it always delay maturity and encourages overgrowt of stalk. Fourth, early planting of approve varieties of cotton with.- plenty o seed. The farmer should save at leas three bushels of good seed for en' acre he is going to plant. He shoul plant at least two bushels befor April 1 in the lower half of the stat and before April 10 in the uppe half of the state reserviro- n hnsh< per acre. If a stand is not secured b the first planting he should p'ant o\ er not later than April 10 in tho lou er half or April 20 in the upper hall If large quantities of seed are use good stands are usually secured froi extra early plantings and the c perience is that under boll weev conditions greatest crops are a ways made from the earliest plan ings. If stands are not secured at comparatively early stage the lar intended for cotter, should he pi into other crops. Fifth, cotton should be left thi< in the drill. This distance should vat with the height of the natural growl of the plant^ 3 or 4* inches not h ing too close a minimum and 8 or I Inches as a maximum. Sixth, the question of poising f? boll weevil is still in the experimei proper time and favorable con. ditiohs. H eavy'damage from plam lS lice following dusting with calciun arsenate early 1m? August makes i doubtful as to tms treatment whei 88 applied at that time. The weevili >d should also be picked from the planl i- in the early stages jutd as soon at punctured squares aie noticed the) should be picked up tiwce per week until mid-summer I* m :d , more cotton be planted than can be it properly handled at all stages and >r promptly picked by Uu? labor on the 0 I farm, for it is the height of folly to )s | plant a crop and let' the boll wevil | eat it up for lack of intention or al*r' low it to become blue Jn the fields for n lack of picking force a Every where it mutf be insisted on k" that the individual fatjner and tenant ? raise an abundant supbly of foo.| and s fsed and that this foi^d and feed be n properly conserved. Itie man with a crib full of corn anq( hay, a smoker house full of meat 4?d molasses, a .r hundred bushels of sifeet potatoes in 1_ a storage house, and 4 garden full of vegetables cannot be $ilt out of business by the boll weerill or any other ? pest. Storage houses for keping swet potatoes should be everywhereconstrueted as this is one of this greatest, crops we have and on whicp every farmer can raise. u For Upper Coastal Plain and Sand Hill o The cotton acreagtf here may be - regulated according to the available g labor to take care of 4ultivation, wee,llvil ^ . ... W...1V1 ana p/uni(iL garnering. in I | no case, however, shpuld more than e ! 50 per cent, be put Into cotton and I tobacco together. A liberal acreage o I should go into corn and velvet beans, e | Hogs should be carried on every farm f and cattle where possible. Sorghum, - peas, sweet potatoes and in some !. cases peanuts should be planted. II In every county the farmers should - utilize fully the Government farm exil perts. No one can advise intelligent? ly and correctly just what each indi vidual farmer should do. The demon stration agent, however, can tell you . exactly what to do for he knows your - conditions and has available all the ^ necessary information to advise you y upon each detail. j A most important factor fe: suc_ cess under boll weei il conditions is r hard and intelligent work. The slipe shod farmer will he out of business i in a few years and only those who - work hard and use in^lj^ent meth ods will remain. In aTTwopnJTny varieties of proven adaptability to the - section and those which make a pro duct of the highest money value as well as of good production per acre - should be used. The year 1921 has been more fa; vorable for the boll weevil than any - since he entered the belt in 1892. Con sequently he has done more dam age than ever before. His damage i next year and succeeding vears will i depend on weather conditions ard the t intelligence and industry used in fihtt ing him. We urge all our citizens to coop, crate to carry this message to every i farmer and farm tenant in the state, s Unless the main features of the above program are generally adopted the r whole state will suffer, s Last but not least call on the Exs tension Agents and Clemson College ? to help you in every problem.

NEGRO FIRES BARN; t CAPTURED BY BLOODHOUND! i _______ On last Sunday night Are was dis covered under the big barn of Mr J. C. Rivers' on the Harden PI?m 5 The alarm was given and the fire pu 1 out before much damage was done ' Fire was discovered by Ed. Streater ' one of Mr. Rivers' hands. The fire presented so much appear ance of incendiary origin that Mr ^ Rivers reported the matter to Sherif 1 Grant, who secured bloodhounds fVonr Raeford, N. C., which he had on the ^ scene in a few hours. The dogs took the scent at th< place of the fire and quickly led to th< door of Horace Blakeney, on th< place of Mr. Leo Davis, some si> miles away. Horace, it is said, confessed hi: ( guilt and was brought before Magis. trate Teal, when he implicated three McQueen negroes who, he said, per ' suaded him to set fire to the barn because of a grudge they held against Mr. Rivers. Horace was bound ovei to court. The McQueens were brought in but relased on account of lack of sufficient evidence to hold. The value of the property thus jeopardized is placed by Mr. Rivers at about $8,000,00 on which he had no insurance. Twenty mules were stabled in the barn, great quantities of corn and fodder were stored there, besides wagons and farm machinery. FIFTEEN FROM THIS COUNTY AT UNIVERSITY OF S. C. Editor Chesterfield Advertiser: On Friday, Nov. 4th, the boys of Chesterfield county who are now attending the University of South Carolina met at the University Chapel and organized a county club as has heretofore been done. Officers were elected and time and place of meeting was decided upon. I doublt if any person in the county realizes how well in number the county is represented at the University. It stands about sixth on the list of enrollment by counties. We have a totai of fifteen boys in our club. Chesterfield having four representatives, Cheraw seven and Ruby four. One of the most popular Co-eds, Miss Essie Elliott, of Conway was chosen sponser for the club. This is the largest enrollment from our county in several years, if not the largest ever. We hope that Chesterfield county will be nearer the head of the list nex* year. Member of Chesterfield county Club. ATTENTION EX-SERVICE MEN!
