l had heard of things being done
Sin spite of hell and high water,
but never realized what such an
achievement meant until / visited the
plantation of DR.. W. B. Taylor, near
Dexter, in Laurens county, Georgia.
Raising a bale of cotton to the
acre on one hundred and fifty acres
in spite of a complete infestation of
the boil weevil and the continuous
rains of the past season was some
achievement, and l had a curiosity to
know how it was done. l had seen
brief notice of it in the newspapers,
but they gave no details. So l went
to Dublin and out to DR.. Taylor's,
distance of twelve miles. On the road
we saw fields of green cotton Shout
der high with scarcely boil to be
seen-the weevil had made clean
sweep of it.
But that 150-acre tract Of DR.. Tay-

eyes" The portion of the field which
had not been picked was mass of
snowy white, while the brown stalks
of that which had been picked were
filled from bottom to top with empty
bolls. There were no great green
stalks, but a ripened harvest of brown
and white 1t was reminder of the
good old days when cotton was king,
with no one to dispute his sway.
AS l followed DR.. Taylor through
the field he explained to me the
methods by which he had overcome
the obstacles of both weevil and wa
ter, and to fully understand and APP
preciate them it is necessary to give
conditions of soil and history of the
crop.
The soil is light sandy loan on
a sandy yellow clay subsoil. Last
year the land was planted in corn
with velvet beans between the corn
and iron peas between the rows. The
ground was broken ten inches deep
in February, thrown up into high
beds three and one-half feet apart.

yearly income of only two thousand
