BOIL .WEEVIL
SITUATION

It has been called to my attention
that boil weevIT poisoning machines

county and that even boil Weevll
catching machines are on the mar
sket 1t is my opinion that a farmer is
making a premature investment 10
purchase either OF these machines
AS vet there has been no boil weev-
lis found this year in Sumter county.
All of these dark weevils. SO much
like the boil weevil, are tlla cow-pea
ped weevil and viii leave the cotton
as soon as the cow-reas come up ana
begin to grow II you make visit IN
the real boil woevil territory YOU will
find very few boil weevil catching ma
chimes are purchased by farmers Then
why should the farmers Of Sumter
county spend their good money in eN-
perimenting when later on they Will
have a need for all of their money.
have told every dealer that has

any Kind OF a machine for hghtlng
boil weevils in Sumter county that the
farmer could not possibly get any pro-
fit this yearsfrom the use of such a
machine or catcher, and that it would
make it harder to sell poisoning ma
chimes. later when the machines Were
developed to their highest state OF sef-
l!ciency and When they will probably
Help Us in growing cotton in spite OF
the weevil. Prof Mcconnell from the
chronological office 1t Clemson says
tha. they do not think at Clemson that
tfes damage by the weevii, even with
Our late start and under the nlost IA
vorab;e conditions for weevil infesta-
ton later can exceed 30 to 25 per cent:
SO you see that fighting weevils this
year Will not be profitable, for under
a system Of poisoning there is sure to
be some damage and as yet I have
very little faith in any kind of catch

 MARK NERVOUS
 COTTON MARKET

New York, Sept 9, The recent ad vanccs of between ? to 3 points pct pound were followed by very nervous and irregular fluctuations in the cot ton market today. The feature was the relative firmncss of October which closed at 2S.25 or 30 points net higher, while other months were unchanged to 57 points lower.
 The market opened steady at de cline of points on July with other months unchanged to 25 points high CT in response to relatively steady cables but very soon weakened un- der southern hedge selling, realizing and scattering pressure. Active months sold about 15 to 37 points net lower, with October touching 27.S0 and January PASS during the middle of the morning. Reports from London that arbitration of the coal mining troubles had failed were ac- companied by Liverpool selling but the market was stcadicd by the cov- ering of October shorts and there were rallies during the middle of the
 
 day owing to the continued unfavor- able average of weather and crop news.
 The advance carried October up to 2S.47 or 52 points net higher while January sold at 25.37, making a net advance of 12 points, but the demand was less active than earlier in the week with the market turn ing easier during the afternoon. The decline in October was held in check by continued covering while January sold off to 24.S0 or 45 points net lower and later months showed loss es ranging up to 70 points with sen timent unsettled by reports of low CT opening prices for spring woolen goods and of unsettled conditions in the silk trade.
 Closing prices were several points up from the lowest on renewed cov- ering. According to local spot peo- pie, firmer spot basis in the south west resulted from covering by spot shorts rather than a fresh demand from the trade.
