tude. Latitude means nothing but
the distance from the equator and
bodies OF water, mountains and other
factors may and do cause regions on
the same parallel to show radically
different climatic conditions. 1t is
the climatic conditions and not the
latitude which affects the boil wee
vii. The most important climatic
conditions which operate against the
weevil are winter temperatures ana
summer rainfall. Any one who cares
TO look into the matter can obtain
charts from the weather bureau
which show lines giving these factors

ever. the line turns sharply to the
north and extends in northeasterly
direction entirely across the State OF
South Carolina. This means that
the winter in Columbia, approximate
ly on the 34th parallel, is for all
practical purposes the same as that
in northern Louisiana at latitude
OF about 80 degrees. In other woras
any region in South Carolina must
rot be compared with a region of the
same latitude in Arkansas, but with
the region about two degrees to the
south in Louisiana. The facts con-
corning Louisiana and boil weevil de-
struction have already been present
ed There is no reason TO believe
that conditions will be different in
South Carolina. The same is true
OF lines showing summer rainfall.
These and other important factors
bearing on the boil weevil give a
clear forecast of what aspects the
problem will assume in South Caro-
lima. AS a matter of fact the only on
the Atlantic coast which could be
compared with the latitude of Little

(By Joe Sparks in Columbia State. }
There are thousands of farmers
and merchants in South Carolina
who do not believe that the Mexican
boll weevil will ever invade this
state. They are hoping against
hope that thus State will not be fore
ed to pay the price that all other
States Of the cotton belt have paid.
1t is practically certain that the
weevil Will cross the Savannah river
before the end of the present season
and he will most certainly make his
appearance in Beaufort, Jasper,
Hampton, Barnwell and Aiken coun-
ties during 1917. This is the testi-
mony and the opinion of the experts
who have been studying the progress
of the pest for nearly quarter Of
a century.
Today there is a great movement
throughout the country in favor of
national preparedness. There should
be- great movement in this State in
favor OF preparedness to meet the dis
aster which is certain to follow the
arrival OF the boil weevil.
Normally-South Carolina pro-
duces about 100000 bales of cot
ton. The opinion of practically all
the experts is that this production
will be cut to from 10000 to 70O,-
coo bales during the first several
years of infestation.
When it is remembered that
South Carolina is annually sending
away about $10O,00O.0OO a year for
food for man and beast, the result
OF the visit of the weevil will be ap-
pailing. The campaign should begin
this fall. The farmers should begin
to cut down on expense and every
dollar possible should be saved.
Doesn't Draw Line There.
Will the boil weevil invade the
Piedmont section of South Carolina =?
There are many farmers and busi-
ness men who scout the idea There
are many who do not believe that the
damage by the weevil will be heavy
above the 34th parallel.
1t is a great mistake to assume
that weeyil damage depends on lati-

In the Three Zones

To repeat, careful studies of the
boil weevil which have been con-
ducted for many years leave no
doubt whatever that it will finally
reach all parts of South Carolina.
Nevertheless the problem will vary
in different sections OF the State. In
rough way South Carolina might
be divided into three zones, one in
Guiding the lower third OF the State
Oh the coast counties; another the
central third and the remainder the
Piedmont section In the lower zone,
under normal boil weevil condi-
tions a loss of about 70 per cent OF
the cotton crop may be expected. The
same conditions would be about 80
per cent and in the Piedmont sec
tion at least 20 per cent. In uh.
favorable seasons such as those of
winters the damage would be greater
Under such conditions even the
Piedmont section might show a loss
OF rs per cent of the cotton crop.
These conclusions are based on
wide observations and on the opin-
ion of men who have given their en-
tire time to the study OF the pest.
Another thing, too, the loss will de-
pend largely on the effort OF the in
dividual farmer. Cotton can be
grown under boil weevl conditions
with fairly good seasons. However,
the farmers must get ready to tide
over the lean years that are certain
to follow the infestation in South
Carolina.
j. =. Wade, commissioner of ag-
riculture Of the State of Alabama,
has prepared the following statement
concerning the situation in that
State this year:

his home by Henry Meyer, one of the
prominent farmers of the Fem section.
Mr.. Meyer at the time of the install
ment of the new plant was very enthu-
siastic over it, and that enthusiasm
seems to have become contagious, and
his neighbors, H. +. VonBerge and
Ben Zehner, followed suit, as have
also A. p. McBoyle near Grangeville.
and Mr.. Watson and A. L. Garchel-
rode further ON north. Senator-elect
N. b. Pettibone is having the lights
put in his new residence which he is
building on the Circle S ranch.
Mr.. McBoyle, who was in town last
Saturday, informed the Globe man
that he was more than satisfied
with the results of his investment, and
that they have a stove adapted to that
use and are also doing some cooking
with the gas product of the new plant
Like Mr.. Meyer, he has lights installed
at the barn, woodshed and every con
ceivable place where light can bt
used. The original cost is something
like $780, and the cost of maintenance
is SIS per year.

called as witnesses in the suit of the
Orogrande Gold Mining company COM
posed of J. Il. Pickrell, of Spokane,
and Judge Pickrell, of Colfax, against

MILL AND ELEVATOR QUESTION
Up AGAIN.

At a meeting of the directors of
the Farmers Union Warehouse of this
place held i'll the city last Saturday,
the matter of the erection of a first
class Touring mill and grain elevator
at Grangeville was taken up and dis
cussed at length. 1t was decided to
once more place the matter before the
farmers of this section and see what
can be done in the way of awakening
interest in this most important move.
No reason appears on the surface why
the farming interests of this section,
and the interests of the public in gener
al would not be forwarded by good
mill and elevator here. All that is
really needed is to stir up interest in
the matter.

Entrained at Nogales, Arizona,
Wednesday-Muster Out
at Boise.
ARRANGE RECEPTION
Commercial Club and Camp
Fire Girls in Charge of
Reception.

Company q, Idaho National Guards,
and all their Idaho comrades, have
been ordered home from the border
and according to the dispatches, en-
trained Wednesday morning at Nogales,
Arizona, for the return trip to
Boise, where they are to be mustered
out.
The Second Idaho was to have been
mustered out at Fort Douglass, (Salt
Lake, Utah, under an order of the war
department, but pressure was brought
to bear upon the department through
Boise influences, to have the boys
brought back to Boise and sent from
there to the various sections of the
state.
AS to just when Company e will
reach Grangeville is not positively
known, as the statements have been
conflicting about their movements
Col. Edleblute stated that he would
have them home for a rousing Christ
mas time with their friends, but other
officers have wired home that they
may be detained until the first of the
year.
Already arrangements are being
made to extend the returning braves a
royal reception upon their arrival
meeting Wednesday had the matter up
and a committee composed of Mayor
Fulton, Harold Harris and w. w.
Brown was appointed to see that moth
ing was left undone that would add to
the warmth and pleasure of the occaS-
ion when the boys land among us once
more. This committee will act in con-
junction with the Camp Fire Girls, who
have already held meetings under the
leadership of Mrs. G. s. Stockton, and
have taken the preliminary steps for
the boys reception. The girls were
preparing to send the entire company a
Christmas dinner to Nogales, with a
"kit" which they had made with theiI
own hands. Since the news of the
early return of the boys has come, the
young ladies have already made ar
rangements for banquet to be giveI
the returning soldiers at the Imperia
Hotel and have requisitioned the Com

PLANNING FOR ROAD FROM
HARPSTER TO MINES.

James Surrtdge, the well known
Harpster citizen and good roads boost
er, and w. l.. Wakely who is operating
the mining property three miles up the
river from Harpster, were in the city
Tuesday seeing what could be dug up
in the way of encouragement for a
road up the Clearwater from Harpster.
Mr.. Wakely has been constructing a
broad, water-grade trail from his mine
to Harpster and has one mile of the
three covered at this time. The pur
pose is to convert this into a road,
which eventually will connect with the
South Fork road being projected by the
Forest service with Elk City as the
objective point. 1t is about seven miles
from Harpster up to the bridge which
the forest service expects to strike with
their road. A road clear along the
Clearwater would be of great benefit
TO all that section of the country.
