way for commercial bodies TO do their
State and their sections a great SER
vice. Let every chamber of com.
merce. with the active assistance oc
every trade interest, set to work to
have these markets held regularly in
every considerable town in South
Carolina. A year OF such markets
will do more to introduce the grow
ing of live stock than ten years OF
syllogism TO prove that only by rails
ing cattle and hogs can South Caro-
lima continue solvent. The time Is
short. One year. or at most two. and
the weevil will be upon the Palmetto
State. In that year let every energy
be bent toward supplying markets 70,

forage and for truck crops. and q
great portion OF the difficulty of solv-
ing the weevil problem will be

LET'S PROVIDE MARKETS.

In our preparations to resist the
threatened attacks OF the boil weeyil
we have been urged to raise live
stock and this industry may be made
very profitable TO the farmers II
there is concert OF action in the mat
ter of providing markets. The State
suggests that the Chamber of Com
merce and allied trade interests NAV
well take hold of this marketing
proposition and We pass on the good
advice to Lancaster's commercial
body. The whole editorial is worthy
of consideration for it tells what
other towns have done as begin
ming. The State says:
Efforts to meet the approaching
ravages of the boil weavil in South
Carolina are sometimes described as
a campaign of education But they
must be far more than that if they
are really to fit this section for eco
.0omic independence.
To map out the proper course is
essential, but it is useless to point IT, +.
right path unless at the same tim.

wherewith to carry out the policy
wisely urged upon him. Bringing the
matter to concrete illustration il is
doubtless a good plan-one which

and hogs. the mortgage lifters" OF
Louisiana
But manifestly it will be a wast,-
of energy for farmers to raise live
stock If they can find no way to make
profitable disposition OF hogs and
cattle. There must be Srovided reg
ular markets at which the farmer can
get fair price for his live stock. the
same sort OF highly specialized ma
chinery that now exists for the hand
ling OF the cotton and tobacco crops.
In bringing this about such begin
nings as have been made in South
Carolina. notably the recent efforts in
Darlington and Lake City. are i'm
portant. In themselves the sales at
those two Pee Dee towns do not
mean much; the total of stock sold
is small compared to the amount
that must be handled If South Caro-
lima is to depend upon live stock to
take the place Of cotton in any con-
siderable degree. But they are first
steps. and the first step, like the first
thousand dollars on the road to for
tune. is nearly always the hardest.
They have proved that live stock
markets can be held with sue
cess, and they will furnish inspira-
tion for other towns.
These beginnings open clearly a

Shallow cultivation of cot

tributes most to the growth of
the plant, it conserves the moisture in
the soil better than deep cultivation.
Deep cultivation with plow common
ly used throughout the cotton grow.
ing belt, means unnecessary loss of
the moisture needed by the plants; it
means the disturbance of rootlets
, through which the plant is feeding,
thereby robbing the plant of some of
its food, and it means blowing one
furrow at time when the same en-
ergy might be used to three OF four
burrows at time as deep as they
ought to be plowed.
Shallow cultivation not only means
rapid and inexpensive cultivation, but
it means that the planter can cultivate
more often. The oftener the cultiva-
tien-if it be shallow-the more the
moisture is held for the plants and
the more they grow and the heavier
the fruit. More frequent civilizations
thus Justify themselves with more
profitable returns.
During the past spring there was a
drouth. Springs drouths are coming
to be common. A very harmful prac-
tice generally used in the cotton field
of Georgia is to "bar" off the cotton
before chopping it out This means
that the cotton is left on ridge with
deep furrow on either side. It
means that the ground under and
around the cotton dries out in a
drouth and leaves the young plant in
poor shape if it does not die outright
Had the soil been narrowed only, this
heavy loss of moisture would not have
occurred, the plants would have con-
tinued to grow and so much replant.
