THE boil weevil is already showing
considerable activity this season in
western Beaufort County an dalso in
parts OF Jasper and Hampton Coun-
ties," says Prof. A. F. Conrad of the
South Carolina crop pest commission.
Owing to the mild winter Mr.. Weevil
wtntered well and his family is now
quite numerous, and active earlier
than usual. =.
This is the third season of the
weevil In Beaufort and the second in
Jasper and Hampton, but he received
q backset In the winter Of 1918 and
lost all Of Beaufort except Daufuskie
Island. Last season the pest regained
all OF this lost territory and increased
in such numbers that the outlook In
some sections appears threatening.
~The amount of injury that will be
done this year depends of course alto
gether on the weather conditions in
June and July. II the weather, dur
ing that period Of the year is dry, the
damage will be very greatly reduced;
but should that period of the year be
moist. then we may expect very sharp
damage on a number Of the planta-
tions in that territory.
VT we have another favorable win
ter the most serious damage may be
expected next year in the territory
above referred to. and it is hoped that
accurate data may have been obtained
by that time In regard to the prac-
GCability and effectiyeness Of noison.
Ing. Poison should not be looked
upon at the present time as a per-

commission vt6ito SnaFIeStoU.
The railroad commissioners Of this
State held a public hearing at Charles
ton, at the Chamber Of Commerce Of
the Consolidated Company's petition
for increased rates on the navy yard
line, the company taking the position
that improvements in the service this
year justified the higher charges
necessary to yield a fair profit on
operations. Incidentally. discussion
Of the shuttle train situation was held.
Navy yard employees, through rep
resentatives, appeared at the hearing
to protest against increased fare. de-
claring that the service now rendered
did not justify higher fare any more
than the service previous to improve
ments did. although It was admitted
that improvements had been made.
Should the shuttle train be discon-
tinued, 1t was declared by the en-
ployees, additional traffic would prove
too much for the trolley facilities.

garments that must have been diff
