THE BOIL WEEvIL SITUATION

The boil weevil is advancing a.
about the rate it was expected te
move during 1920, according to Prof
A. F. Conradl Entomologist for the
Crop Pest Commission. The weather
conditions in relation to boil weeVl
in 1920 have been in many Respects
similar to those Of 1919 except tha'
the rainy weather has continued IL
most sections of the state preventing
the sharp reaction which occurred
last season causing longer period
of migration for the weeyll. unless
an early frost should occur, 1t is ex'
pected that the weeyil will cover the
entire state by the end OF 19Z0
Only about two per cent. OF South
Carolina cotton crop is now produced
in weevil free territory. In l92l tne
area of destructive damage will prop
ably be much greater than in l9ZV'
Erratic procedure is not recon-
mended under boil weevil condltlons.
The experience of the farmers IN tne
southernmost part of the stale III
1920 is nothing new, but is merely a
representition of what has gone before
during the last 20 years. During the
season the cotton was made during
the dry weather Of May and June
Had June been a wet month, the
story would have been an entlrel9
different one. II We get dry June
next season we have good chance
for a good cotton crop regardless OF
weevils.
It is advisable for farmers to keep
tn. possibility of cotton before them
however, strong the y may have gone
to other crops at this time, because
sooner or later they may want 70
grow it again as predominatlne
crop. So far as the fall practice OF
farming is concerned under boil wee
vii conditions, it is evident to every
farmer that 1t is the same as tne
best practice in any sectlo n regard,
less of whether 1t Is weeyil infesteo
or not.
The weeyils in 1921 will come from
the number OF weevils that pass this
winter successfully. The greater the
amount of rubbish on farms this win
ter the better are the winter accomo-
dations to take care Of the boil wee
vii and the greater the number OF
weevils in the spring of 1921. Wee
wills do not hibernate in cover crops
Among their splendid hotels are cot
ton and corn fields on which the
stalks were allowed to remain; grass
on ditch banks and terraces; under
brush along ditch banks and WOODS;
neglected orchards; waste fields and
roadsides.

FOOD PRICES CONTINUE HIGH

Sugar and Flour Alone Show Decline
All Other Edibles Remain At Ad.
vanced Figures.
New York, Sept. 27.-The an
nouncements of price reductions con-
tlnue but "jokers" are making their
appearance here and there. OF the
foods, -four and sugar are going down
fairly steadily but all other edibles
are continuing high with prophecy
and propaganda offered on every side
to keep the consumer in the habit Of
paying prices.
The explanation Of the resistance
of food is seen in the fact that the
against Its three square meals" per
day. The individual purchasers, have
hammered down the price of some
commodities like automobiles by re-
fusing to purchase, then to stay in
business reductions have been forced.
Restaurants Profteer.
That there has been profiteering in
restaurant foods Is plainly in evil
dence due to the sweeping reductions
that have been made where the carry
your own" lunch movements have
taken hold.
One of the biggest of the American
sugar wholesalers announced sngar
today at IA cents per pound, a re-
duction of 1-2 cents over the last
previous price. Reduction Of this
staple has occurred because the can
ming season is practically over and
the household demand has dropped
off sharply from the demand Of sew
leral weeks ago.
L. R. Putnam, managing director
OF the American wholesale lumber
dealers association, announced what
Is termed an average reduction in the
price Of lumber of 28 per cent. The
basis OF figuring is the prices of last
February. Hardwood Is assigned the
greatest reduction of 33 per cent.
Building contractors, however, are
still making their estimates on the
basis Of the old prices.
Clothing Prices Stay Up.
Clothing, the most shining mark
OF all in the increased price list due
Ito the war, the shortage of labor"
etc., is hanging on for dear life. Per-
haps suits of the quality that now sell
for $50, may be had for $50 in the
spring, but not now, the conditions
heretofore prevailing in the trade
make it necessary for the prices to
be maintained"
Reused by the jar Henry Ford
threw into the trade when, with his
factory more than 100000 cars back
of its orders, he cut the price of his
product effective at once to the man

Lieut.. Hamilton, who was striving
for a record, plunged from the cock
pit. After falling several thousand
feet, he pulled wire intended to
open the parachute. 1t failed to work
and the lieutenant's plunge was
scarcely checked.
To add to his danger, Lieut.. Ham
ilton discovered that he was likely to
land in a patch of timber. Seeing
the outlines of a creek, he climbed
into the rigging Of the parachute.
BY pulling one edge down, he man
aged to plane down into the water.
1t took him two hours to extricate
himself from the parachute.

the public is continuing to keep a
watchful eye on things.
The number Of women in New
York wearing new fall suits is notice
ably less than heretofore and cinci-
dent with this condition the prices OF
women's suits have gone down. They
have not yet dropped far enough to
tempt the buying. More experiments
in price reductions may be loked for.

The feature of tn" Hoover movement
that is causing the greatest "mbar-
rassmcnt to the professional leaders
of both parties is the spontancity Of
the favorable response with which the
suggestion was received. Sufficient
time has elapsed since an analysis of
the qualities that seem to make him
a desirable presidential candidate was
presented to establish the fact that
the bosses of the two parties do not
look on him with favor. "A consequence
which adds to his attractiv"ness as "a
prospective presidential candidate.
Their chief and almost sole objec-
tion to him az the candidate of either
party is his independence of both-his
refusal to permit any political organi-
zation to pin a machine badge on him
While there has been no rehearsal
among party leaders to adopt "a plan
of treating the Hoover boom, it seems
to be the desire of the leaders of each
party to make Mr.. Hoover the candi-
date of the other.

~ CARCELY less essential TO successful avi-
alton than a level landing field of ample
J proportions is a reliable wind indicator of
sufficient size to be visible from a great
distance for the guidance Of aviators landing
upon the field or passing over il en- route ~ise-
where. According TO experienced flies this Las
been supplied by Lieutenant Lawrence .. Cook
A s A. in his automatic landing IT
Heretofore the makeshift wind indicators
used by the Army Air Service and by airplanes
of commerce have failed because OF the ndis-
pensable human element connected with them.
In many instances they not only have not
guided pilots to safe landings. but through the
failure of the men in charge OF the fields to
turn them in accordance with the direction Of
the wind. they actually have been responsible
for destruction and death.
Two types OF wind, indicator both still in al
most universal in spite OF their unreliability
are the sock form OF pennant attached TO a
pole on top of a building at the edge OF the
landing field. which often not is rendered
useless as result of it's habit OF wrapping itself
about the pole and two strips of white cloth in
the shape Of ''T' thrown out upon the field
The direction OF the wind being indicated by
the position Of the IT" which is supposed to
point into IT, This works satisfactorily so long
as the wind does not change or. " il does. the
"T' is shifted accordingly by human hands
Should the wind veet suddenly from the south
10 the north and the "T'' indicate to the newly
arrived pilot that il is still in the south.
would inevitably be the case unless the
chanic we're on the Job the landing more than
likely would result in the demolition of the
machine If not in the loss of the life OF the
aviator.
The only absolutely safe way 10 land is into
the wind. With Lieutenant Cooks automatic
wind Indicator. which. like an ordinary weather
vane veers with every breath OF wind, the avi-
ator is never IN doubt TO the actual drec-
ton Of the wind at the surface Of the field
the moment Of his descent
In addition to indicating the direction Of the
wind the Cook "r" by large letters upon its
slanting sides, informs the aviator as to the
Identity Of the toNn he is approaching or pass
ing over. This sign in black letters on a white
surface is legible to the pilot at an altitude OF
1900 feet In the daytime. At night the ct" is
Illuminated. thus serving simultaneously to
Identify the field and indicate the direction OF
the wind for night landing
The Cook invention is forty feet long. four
and one-half feet high and six and onc-half feet
wide The nose is pointed and the tail is the
shape OF the tail of fish. The weight of the
indicator. which is constructed in sections to
facilitate handling in moving from ono field to
another, IS 80 pounds.
This TT was made and devised by me in the
fall Of 1917 and put into use at Rockwell Field
