tary says that "the urgent neces-
sity for the introduction of other
crops which will take the place OF
cotton can not be too strongly en-
phasized. Cotton, of course, should
be grown, but the time is evidently
at hand when a concerted effort
should be made to bring about a
change i'll Southern agricultural
conditions i'll the direction Of great
er diversification."
Such crops as alfalfa, sorghum,
Kafir corn, and cereals of various
sorts should all receive attention,
not only for silage, pastures and
winter forage generally, but for
green manures as we'll"
1t will be seen that if the we'll
founded fears of the best experts
the country affords materialize the
time is fast approaching when cot
ton, if grown at all, must be grown
in spite of the boil weevil and,
therefore, at great disadvantage.
This will be attempted, because the
world demands of the South the
greater part Of the cotton which it
consumes. But under the condi-
tons which would be brought about
ii would be suicidal policy for the
farmers Of the South to continue 70
make cotton their principal and
almost sole crop as at present. It
is almost suicidal policy urder pres
ent conditions.
The problem must be met and
will be met by diversified farming.
The time to begin is now. 1t is
hardly probable that the fears of
the experts sent out by the govern
ment are ill-founded and if they are
not ill-founded the problem is
upon us. We cannot wait until
the Weevil is III our fields to decide
upon a greater diversifcation of
crops. 1t must come and come at
once. Self-preservation demand,
1t of the South and demands it now.
We have + .en preaching the doc
trine of diversified farming for many
years and long before the boil wee
vii made its appearance in the cot
ton fields Of the South. Even if
the fears Of experts be ill-grounded
and the boil weevil never reaches
South Carolina, diversified farming
IS what our people need. With the
present outlook it is their ONLY sal
vation.
Only good can result, whatever
happens SO far as the boil weevil is
concerned. 1t may be suicidal to
wait.

THE BOIL WEEVIL.
r.. II. AULI., EDIToR.


has announced that he will call a
special session of the Legislature
during this month to consider meas
ures looking to this end. A boil
weevil convention has been in ses-
sion in New Orleans this week and
a permanent organization was form
ed to be known as the Louisiana
Boil Weevil Association. 1t is prob
able that measure will be pre-
sented to the legislature when it
convenes in extra session to appoint
crop pest committee and to make
an appropriation to be used by this
committee to prevent the spread Of
and to eradicate the weevil.
Louisiana's fears are not idle.
The boil weevil is the most fOrmida-
bic enemy that has ever confronted
the cotton planters Of the Southern
States. The government has taken
the matter under consideration
and has sent experts to the cotton
fields of Texas to study the insect
and to devise some means, if DOS
slble, for its eradication The re-
port of the secretary Of agriculture
just submitted to the president re-
views the efforts made by the gov
ernment in this direction. 1.-The
work otthe division Of entomology, -
says the secretary of agriculture,
'has shown Conclusively the value
of good cultural methods, the plant
ing of y-maturing varieties, and
the destruction Of weevilinfested
material, this conclusion having
been reached only through the care
full and detailed studies of the life
history and habits of the insect.
The demonstration work along these
lines, which the division carried on
the past year, has been exceedingly
promising, as it has been shown
that cotton can be grown in re-
munerative quantity, despite the
presence of the weevil.'
Notwithstanding what has been
accomplished by the department,
however," the report goes on to
say, "the fact remains that the boil
weevil is constantly spreading north
and east, and it is probably only a
question Of time when it will reach
all the cotton growing States. Thus
the country is confronted with
very grave problem, as the invasion
Of this insect must necessarily mean
a complete revolution in present
agricultural methods. During a
recent visit to some OF the southern
States considerable time was spent
i'll the weevl-inicstcd district, and
from the facts gathered il this way
am convinced that energetic meas.
urcs must be adopted to meet the
present emergency. After thor
oughly canvassing the situation
with representative men in congress
and with others, I am of the opinion
that cotton investigation fund
should be appropriated and set aside
for immediate use in connection with
this most serious problem. III or
der to make the work comprehensive
and thoroughly effective, I am of
the opinion that a sum not less than
$500, 900 should be made Immediate.
ly available for this purpose, the
same to be expended under the
direction Of the secretary of agri-
culture, in such manner as will give
the most immediate practical re-
Sulta.'

parison with the howl that went
up a moment later when the an
nouncement was made that some
one had taken S1.15 of the lodge
funds which had been deposited in
a tea cup. Newt. Sides, who it
was thought, knew something of
the whereabouts of the missing
whiskey, swore that he would
have vengeance on whoever had
stolen the money. He left the
room and returned forthwith with
a gun in each hand calling loudly
for the return of the money.
Newt. didn't get back the money,

S. W. Andrews. They report a
jolly time during their two weeks
outing. Their trophies consisted
of 2 deer, 3 turkeys, 3 'coons, 1
wolf, 1 wildcat, 4 'possums, Is
squirrels and an abundance of
game fish. MI. Opp has the credit
of killing both of the deer, while
Bridges and Hayes both fell
asleep on their watch and both per-
mitted a four-pronged buck to run
through their stands without see
ing the noble animals, all of which
they strenuously denied; but the
faithful and truthful dogs gave
them away by trailing within 50
feet of where they slept. They,
however, redeemed themselves by
killing the three turkeys and sup
plying the table with fresh fish.
Andrews slaughtered the wildcat
after a desperate struggle, in which
he lost one glove, hunting knife
and a part of his coat. Bridges
killed the wolf and Jim Webb
bagged the 'coons and 'possums.
They we're all delighted with their
outing and their friends have all
been enjoying their success at the
expense of the jolly nimrods.-

ORIGIN OF LAGER BEER
It Was Discovered Because of an Ae-
cident in Germany.
CPhiladelphia RecOrd.)

Two practical brewers as they con-
versed the other day had an argument
over the invention of lager beer. A
third brewer joined them and said:
Lager beer was not invented. 1t
was ENTHUSIASTICALLY discov-
cred. Here is the story as my grand
father handed ii down to my father:
A saddler of the German town of
Bamberg sent his apprentice one morn
ing in the middle ages for a bottle of
the beer they used in those days-a vile
beer that was drunk as soon as it was
brewed. The apprentice bought the
bottle and on the way home with it
met q practical joker. The joker said
to him:
Your boss is looking for you. He
says you have spelled three days work
and he is going to haste you with a
cart whip
AT this news the apprentice was so
scared that he buried the beer under a
tree and ran off and enlisted in the
army He prospered in the army. In
time he became an officer and got the
cross Of honor. Then he thought he
would return home to his native town.
When with a long furlough he drew
near the town he recalled the bottle OF
beer he had buried and he dismounted
from his charger on reaching the we'll
remembered tree and dug the bottle up
and carried it to his former master who
was an old man by this time.
Old man. he said, you sent me
after bottle of beer five years ago.
Here is the beer now
THE master embraced him, congratu-
lated him on his success in life and
opened the bottle to share with him its
contents. Such excellent beer neither
had ever tasted before. 1t was like old
wine. The master, as soon as he learn
! ed that it was burial that had so much
| benefited it, bought GOO bottles Of beer.
buried them and five years later sold
them at a great profit, for everybody
that tasted the new drink loved it.
In time the secret leaked out. Brew
ers everywhere came to know that beer.
| by lying. improved. So they all adopted
the lying process. and they called the
new dring lying or lager beer. FOR
lager means lying. as you know.
I'm the past centuries they let beer
/ lie longer than we do now. This is a
fast age. YOU know"
