Cotton and the South.

King cotton dethroned" an
nounces The Wilmington Star in al,
article showing that the grain crops
of the South this season are worth
several hundred million dollars more
than the most valuable cotton crop
on record. The question of whether
cotton is king or subject is one un-
profitable for discussion, but when
the section of the country known as
the South produces cotton crop that
is worth close to a billion dollars and
grain crops worth nearly one and one
half billion dollars and manufactur-
ed products worth more than cotton
and grain crops combined, it seems
that many people who live in tins
section ought to have a higher opin-
ion OF the South and more confidence
in its stability and it's great future.

REPORT ON COTTON CROP.
Condition on September 23 Was
63.7 Per Cent

Condition on September 23 Was
63.7 Per Cent.
New York Special to Charleston
News and Courier, Sept. 30.-Condi-
ton of cotton on an average date of
September %, as ascertained by over
1000 replies of special correspen-
dents of The Journal of Commerce,
was 63.7 per cent, as compared with
70.7 per cent month ago, repre-
senting a deterioration OF z points.
This is somewhat excessive, having
been exceeded only once in the past
ten years, when in 1907 the deprecia-
ton amounted to IA points; in 1908
it was points. The ten-year aver
age is 5.2 per cent deterioration.
Unfavorable weather conditions
brought about unusual shedding, and
the striking feature of the report is
universal prediction of an extremely
short top crop. year ago at this
time condition was 75.5 per cent. in
1913 it was 67.1 per cent and In
1912 it was 1913 per cent.
Largely on account of much pre-
mature opening picking is well ad-
vanced, being 35.4 per cent gathered,
against 33 per cent last year, 80 per
cent in 1913 and 2S.2 per cent in
1912.

a Georgia contemporary, The La
Grange Graphic, in recent editorial
asked some pointed questions, which
we would put also to certain readers
of The News:
What would you think of fell
low who refuses to subscribe for
your paper, and then brings you an
article to publish in which he alone
is interested?
What would you think of fellow
who wants you to mention his name
every time he goes anywhere, and
then refuses to subscribe to your
paper?
What would you think of fellow
who wants you to give considerable
prominence to his lodge meetings,
and then refuses to subscribe for
your paper?
What would you think of fellow
who accepts your paper for year
when you send him a statement he
refuses to take your paper from the
postofiice?
What would you think of fellow
who accepts your paper, and when
you meet him and remind him that
he is in arrears, he tells you to stop
the paper, but does not offer to pay
for it?
What would you think of fellow
who calls at the Office every week to
get a copy of your paper, and who
never offers to pay for it, and when
you ask him to subscribe he refuses
to do so?
What would you think of fellow
who tries to get all the free advertis-
ing he can but never offers TO sup
port the newspaper that gives him
the free advertising!

it has been a cause of some concern
to us and to other book lovers, that
our citizens generally did not seem

BOIL wEEVH ADVANCING.

That the boil weevil is a menace
to the cotton growers of South Caro-
lima cannot be doubted. Ever since
it's advent from Mexico into Texas
its annual march East and North
east has been slow but sure. The
United States department of agricul
ture issued Wednesday the follow
ing statement:
Under normal conditions the boil
weevil advances into new territory
at the rate of about 80 miles each
year, but during a period of only two
weeks during the present season
there was an advance of about 100
miles. This movement carried the
insect into Georgia for the flrst time
and 25 counties in that state became
infested. Several counties in Florida
have been infested for several years,
but eight additional ones became in
tested by the same movement.
Twenty additional counties in Alaba-
ma were also invaded. All of this
spread took place between the 18th
and 31st Of August"
The appearance of the pest in this
state is only a question of time, and
at their present rate of progress, it
may be a short time at that. This
sensible thing to do is to get ready
for them when they arrive. "He is
thrice armed" who has little Of the
stuff planted upon which the weevil
feeds and that is cotton. So the
wise farmer will plant other things
than cotton. BY so doing he will
kill two birds with one stone," he
will be helping to starve out the in
sect. and at the same time be doinh
what he ought to do anyway, raisins
those things on the farm necessary
for the sustenance of man and beast. |
The acreage in cotton was cut down
this year on account of the war in
Europe. Let the cutting down pro-
cess continue each year in anticipa-
ton of the coming of the boil weeviI.

or Interest to Corn Growers.

The United States department of
agriculture has distributed among It's

to dry and Gull their corn. These

proceeding with the work and Glenn
son College advises South Carolina
corn growers to take note OF the con-
tents of the posters, which will prob
ably be posted about the state, and
to follow the directions.-S

SOW GRAIN.


Now that we have had good rains
which will leave the ground in prop
er condition for planting, we sugges,
that every available acre be given to
grain and that it be planted as soon
as possible. The farmers of this sec
ton were hampered in their efforts
in this direction last year because of
almost incessant rains, but such
weather conditions were almost un-
precedented and will hardly recuI
this year. Knowing full well what
profit good yield of grain will bring
we would stress the importance OF
planting plenty of 1t. AS soon as
your land, on which cotton, corn o,
other crops may have been raised
this year, has been prepared for tn,
fall crop, SOW early, in order that
the roots may strike deep into the
ground before the neavy freezes
come. Let's spread a green carpet
over the hills ana valleys of Lar.
caster county. BY so doing you can
feed yourself, your family and your
livestock and have a surplus OF
grain to sell. Don't be afraid of hav-
ing no land left for cotton. for this
crop Is Of secondary Importance.
