BARRED PROGRESS
Congressional Commission An
nounces Probe of Railroad
Freight Prices.

Business could have been stabil-
lied. during the after-the-war
period IL the Federal Reserve
Board had fixed an interest rate OF
s per cent. former Comptroller of
the Currency John Skelton WILL
Jams yesterday told the Joint Con-
g1essionaI Commission of Agricul-
tural Inquiry.
The high rates that were fixed by
the board. especially the system OF
progressive rates. were aids to
suicide" Mr.. williams declared.
Appeared for Farmers.
Practices of the board in pyra-
miding interest charged member
banks were narrated by the former
Comptroller, who appeared as a
witness for the Farmers National
Union and the National Board of
Farm Organizations.
One bank in Alabama paid as
high as IS per cent for a few
thousand dollars of Federal Re
serve Bank money. while New
York banking institutions were en-
ioying almost unlimited credit at
7 per cent. Mr.. Williams said.
During his testimony Mr.. Will
Jams frequently was interrupted by
Chairman Anderson of the commits
sion and Representative Ogden Mills,
of New York. who sought to show
that the former Comptroller was
prejudiced against the board.
Says Board Abused System.
Mr. Williams said he had favored
the system of progressive rates of
interest, as a check on speculation,
but If he had known how the board
was going to abuse" the system
he never would have given his con-
sent.
THE necessity had arisen for
orderly and sane deflation." said
Mr.. Williams, but 1 am quite con-
vinced that this could have beer
wholesomely accomplished il the
rates had been kept as low as
per cent. Certainly I never would
have sanctioned a plan of progress
sive interest rates if 1 had known
that the banks in the Federal Re-
serve System would so abuse that
right
Average Interest IS Per Cent.
rome bank fR Alabama paid from
3T to IS per cent per annum for the
use of Federal Reserve Bank money
for a period of two weeks during
1920. The average was As per cent.
The bank borrowed $4,000. 1t was
Obliged either to pay these rates or
apply for a receiver. so it submitted
under duress to this species of op-
preston"
The former Comptroller said that
the Alabama bank he referred to
was an extreme illustration of iths
abuse of the progressive interest
rates system.
High interest rates are aids tC
suicide Mr.. Williams added. ''They
do not help business. They destray
business. They prevent material
progress"
To Probe Freight Rates.
The amount of credit given agri-
culture by the Federal Reserve
Board was "pitiably small. com.
pared with the credits given New
York banks, the witness said. He
declared that most of the credits
that were extended to agriculture
went to distributors of agricultural
products and not to the producers.
The commission announced yes
terday that it would make a tho='

Looking to the Future

tion to win no matter how great the
odds. Many victories have resulted
from confidence and determination
the great war for instance. If YOU
get panicky and plow up your cotton
because it has boil weevils on it now,
you certainly will not go to gin this
fall. No man can predict now what
weevil damage will be this year,
whether twenty-five, fifty, or seventy
flVe or more per cent.
Three Things to Do.
There are three important things
you can do without much, if any, cX-
pense, and as 1 said in the beginninp.
you can easily double your crop by
doing them, and one that you can do
with considerable expense without
certainty or profit.
First: Pick and destroy as many as
possible Of the weevils off the young
cotton. Keep after them every morn
ing until squares appears where the
Weevils become too difficult to find.
They are easily found now while
sucking. the buds. Have the women
and children do this work Paw so
much a wccvil. Adjust the price ac-
cordlng to the number of weevils YOU
have. 1t may be five cents or a half
>>'io iiify bS SoiICCI 10 nOC nlrU
your "weeviing" done by the day.
Second: When squares begin to fall
on the ground go over your cotton
row by row at least every week for
six or eight weeks, picking up and
burning all the punctured squares
possible, and also get what wecviis
can be found without losing too much
time
Third: Cultivate oftener than usual
Plow shallow and go over your cotton
through and through at least once a
week. Also plo wlater than has been
your custom in the past.
Fourth: Experiment with calcium
arsenate poisoning if you feel willing
to take chances of losing or maybc
breaking even or making small
profit on the possible increase in
yield. Results from dusting with
calcium arscnate have not given uni
form results. It's general use cannot
be recommended at this time-no 9TH
er poison is at all effective on wccvils.
1T is no more reasonable to plow up
your cotton than it would be to dyna
mite your house if a spark should
start small blaze on the roof. The
sensible thing to do if you want to
save the house is to pour q few buck
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1921-06-15

cts of water on the fire and you might
not even need the fire departments
help.
Picking early wecvils and the first
two generations of punctured squares
is absolutely effective in making cot
ton under weevil conditions. | have
made twice as much per acre on my
own place in Alabama by this method
as neighbors who did nothing across
the road.
Pays to Pick Weevils.
Very few if any of your neighbors
wcevils will come to your field until
later in the year. Meanwhile you can
have a half or two-thirds of a crop
made.
1T pays to pick wcevls if you donot
find but two per acre, likewise with
squares if you get only handful per
acre. In some progressive communi-
ties l have known the towns and
cities to raise funds with which to
pay for early wcevils brought in. This
method Of wecvils control should aap-
peal to your common sense. Let me
illustrates:
If your wife has twenty-five hens,
Tor instance, and disposes of twenty
OF them, can she possibly raise as
~ 'iiiShciS iS Snc would nave WIN
all twenty-five? And if she gathcrsthc
eggs of the others as laid, can the
hens possibly hatch as many chicks
as they could have done had all the
eggs been left in the nest? Certainly
not: In other words, raising cotton
under wccvil conditions, can be done
profitably and the most foolish thing
you can do is to quit planting cotton
You will never regret anything as
much in your life. The sickcst fellow
l ever saw is Southern farmer with
no cotton to pick and sell in the fall,
especially if his ncighbors happen to
make a pretty good crop.
