CAN EXTERMINATE WEEVIL?
Bamberg County Citizen Believes 1t
Can be Successfully Done.

In conversation some DAYS dSO Will
a well known citizen Of this county,
the editor was told of plan this cit
izen had for exterminating the boil
weevil. Since then he has written
out his plan, which he believes would
eliminate the weevil almost if not en-
tirely from the south. For reasons
of his own, he asks that his name be
withheld for the present. Below is
given the plan as he states it:
=. The boil weevils having Increased
rapidly and covered practically the
whole state of South Carolina in 1917
and 1920, it becomes the duty OF eV-
cry patriotic citizen to do all in his
power to find some method by which
this pest can be controlled or de-
stroyed. Our government has been
fighting the scourge for the past 30
wears without any favorable result.
The cost of this effort has been enor-
NOUS, but more appalling still has
been the cost to the cotton farmers
from losses sustained by the weevil
ravages.
1.-THE government experts have prac-
tically admitted their impotence in
even checking the weevil's advance.
They only tell us to 'spick up the
forms and use some kind Of poison;
it might do some good"
The plan here suggested seems to
be an entirely new one and is worthy
of discussion and trial. We know it
to be a fact that weevils reproduce
themselves only in cotton. We know
that a weevil cannot survive the hot
sun of an August day for as long as
an hour. We know that the rlgorS
of our winters destroy 80 PEI cent.
of the weevils. We know that under
weevil conditions we gather no cot
ton that blooms after August lst, the
rest is only food for weevils. Now,
denude the growing cotton Of all fol-
iage leaves, blooms and squares, on
August 1st with some deadly poison
(Paris green will do it,; the leaves,
blooms and forms fall off and dry
up, leaving the mature and partly ma
ture bolls to open, and they will op-
en- rapidly as they will be exposed 10
the sun.
No fresh squares are left in
which the weevil can deposit eggs
and reproduce. 1t is an accepted theo-
ry that the active life of weevil IS
about so days, then it is readily
seen that the winter will begin with
only a limited number of weavlls on
hand. They winter killing 80 per
cent, we will begin the next season
with a very small percentage Of wee
wills on hand.
Repeat the following season anu
you have destroyed them for good.
We, therefore, get rid Of the wee
vii and produce as much or more cot
ton as of we permit the pest to run
his course unmolested. This plan
will of necessity be universally prac-
ticed in order to reap the desired re-
suits, namely, the total eradication
of this nefarious pest, which has here
tofore bafied the skill of our govern
menf experts.

UTILITIES SEEK PLANK IN

Interests TO Ask Protection
During Present Crisis.

In the belief that the continued ei-
acient and uninterrupted operation OF
all utilities subject 10 public resuia'
ton Is essential to the nations wei
fare, representatives OF the three pun
lie utilities-gas. electric lighting
and street rsilways-will make a de-
termined effort before 'the platform
committee at the San francisco con-
vention TO have a plank included de-
cIaring for preservation OF these
utilities.
A committee headed by Judge
George A. Cooke, OF Chicago. confer
red with leaders OF the Democratic
party on this subject last week. Ar
rangements were made for them 10
receive a formal hearing before the
resolutions committee at San Fran
cisco tomorrow.
The contention is made that all pub
lie utilities are faced with a serious
crisis arising from the shortage OF es-
sental materials and the great In
crease In the cost OF labor and ma
terial, and that any interruption to
the public service OF these utilities
or any impairment OF their ability TO
attract new capital, would result In
national calamity.
