Buesnos Aires, Dec. Bainbridge
| Colby, American secretary OF state,
will be officially received by the Ar

today that Argentina would send A
wdrship to Montey;dro. Uruguay, to
hiring Mr.. Colby to Buenos Aires. In

cd that the United States government
considers that Mr.. Colby's visit will
show without any doubt that there
does not exist and has never evisted
any yestige Of friction on the part
Of the United States by reason OF the
policy followed by the Argentine gov
ernment during the recent war"
The memorandum also stated that
Mr.. Colby had no intention Of max
ing reference to questions which have
arisen during the last few years" but
was only bringing assurances of the
friendship Of tho United States.
When Mr.. Colby's proposed visit to
Argentina was announced several
weeks ago it was understood that he
would come in a private capacity.

BEGIN NOW TO FIGHT BOIL WEEVlL
By J.'E. Treyathan, County Agent.

'To make the cotton crop more GER
tain and to make tho weevil crop less
certain for 1921, cotton growers
should exert every effort, even If 9th
or work must be suspended to give
right of way, to destroy millions of
weeyils just as soon as possible after
picking is finished by cleaning up the
old 1920 cotton stalks and other trash
vice of the Entonologists OF Clemson
College.
"Weevils are almost entirely depen-
dent upon cotton for feeding and
Snreeding. After the crop has matured,
the late growth OF squares (forms)
blooms and young bolls makes "a
breeding place for the weevils. In old
infested fields 1t is common sight
to find from one to six weevils on each
growing plant in the field. This means
that from 5000 to $4,000 wcevlls per
acre may be found at the time Of the
first killing frost. 1t IS a well estab-
lished fact that weevils developing
late in the fall are those which are
most likely to pass the winter safely.
1t is therefore extremely important
that this late weevil development be
prevented as far as possible. Most
or the weevils continue to feed and
breed as long as green cotton is to be
found In the fields. When the first
killing frost occurs, most weoyils
seek protection from the cold by find
tyDg shelter in any kind Of rubbish in
and around tho cotton fields as a place
In which to pass the winter in the
dormant state. This dormant condi-
ton is spoken OF as Information. Nor
mally, the weevils do not fly very far
from the cotton fields for Information.
The most favorable conditions for the
Weevil to pass the winter successfully
are found in those fields in which the
cotton stalks, dead grass. weeds, fallen
leaves and other rubbish, commonly
found in the fields whore no cleaning
up is done until spring planting time,
are allowed to renal.
Experiments have shown that when

conditions have been made unfavor-
able by cleaning up the fields for hi
bernaton, as low as a fraction Of one
per cent OF weevils succeeded In pass
| Ing the winter, while on the other
hand where fields have been left an
disturbed during fall and winter, as
high as 40 to SO per Get Of the 'weevils
passed the winter successfully.
THE earlier the stalks are destroyed
and the fields cleaned by burning or
turning under all rubbish, cleaning
ditch banks and fence corners, dirty
orchards and pasture lots and waste
lands adjoining the cotton folds, the
smaller the damage will be to the next
years crop.
"Will you choose to destroy the wee
vii in tho fall or have them destroy
your crop next season?"
The above is an extract, from
weekly News Notes" Of Clemson Col
lege, which contains good and timely
advice for the cotton farmer. Even if
the farmer decides to reduce his acre
age on account OF low prices received
FOR cotton, he can not afford to allow
the boil weevil to take his crop. 1
hope that every farmer in I4aurens
County will take warning and begin
now and turn under deep all cotton
stalks, as there is less waste OF or
ganic matter and fertility by this
method than would result from burn
ing the stalks. II the stalks can not
be plowed under, they should be burn
ed, if the boil weevil has boen found
in the field.
