Boil Weevil Migrating
Cotton Pests Now Spreading
into New Sections
Cotton p ests Now Spreading Into
New Sections


New Sections
Clemson College, August 30-The
boil weevil, so long as there is food
available in the cotton field, does
very little migrating during the
spring and summer; but beginning
about the middle of August the pest
is seized by the migration instinct
and begins a. period of dispersion
which continues until stopped by
the first killing frost. This, says
Prof. A. f. Conradi, cntomologist,
explains to farmers why they have
been observing a greater number of
weevils in their fields during the
last week or ten days than at any
previous time.
The weevil is now over the entire
state, speciments having been sent
in by farmers from the extreme
upper portions Of the Piedmont
section. Although the weevls are
more numerous than we expected,
because Of mild winter, every farm
er should put forth his best efforts
to destroy the weevilS winter
homes. This destruction consists
in cleaning up terraces, ditch
banks, fence rows, the edge OF
woods, neglected orchards, and
other places where the weevil may
find proper shelter.
Cover crops offer one Of the best
weaDOnS in weeyi1 fight bec3uSe
besides their agricultural value in
preventing washing and teaching,
and in adding vegetable matter they
serve as a powerful cleansing crop
which destroys the weevils win
ire quarters most effectively.

MORE CoNGREssMEN

-.
The 1920 census figures would
nave meant an increase Of mem
bers in the House OF Representa-
tives from 435 to more than 500,
if the old basis OF apportionment
were kept The census committee
of the House, deferred from adding
so many by a.swave. of public pro-
fest. submitted a. bill providing Cor
an increase Of 4S, making the total
4S3. The House ,urned down this
proposal, deciding to maintain the
old limit.
It was a rare exhibition of COM
mon sense where ordinarily nothing
would be expected but politics.
Congress, as the pualc well knows,
and as congressman themselves
know better than anybody else. has
grown TOO unweildy for its own
good. Numbers impede constrGc-
tive action. The House sometimes
seems more like a legislative mob
than what it should be. a council
of statesmen. It would be far bet
ter to reduce the personnel than to
enlarge it. if that were practicable
which it is not, because Office
holders will never vote themselves
out Of office. There is cost to be
reckoned with, though efficiency
is the main consideration. Every
Congressman costs $500 year di-
rectly for salary, and perhaps twice
that much indirectly.
Now months after the public
supposed the matter had been def
nitely settled. the house census
committee has come forward again
with a recommendation increasing
the membership to $50, by way Of
compromise. An increase Of 25
congressman is,not SO bad as an in
crease of 4S, bat it will be hard to
persuade the general public that
any increase at all is justifiable.

Mr.. Stackhouse's Letter


One of the very largest cotton
dealers in the south both for ex-
port and domestic consumption
made the following statement few
days ago: If as much as four mil
lions Of bales of cotton from the
1921 crop plus the leakage from
previous years is sold by produc-
ers during the months Of Septenl-
Der, October and November mid
ding cotton will sell at ten cents
or lower before December 1st, and
htat in his opinion, every possible
agency should be employed to in
sure a slow and orderly marketing
Of cotton until conditions become
more normal.
Others engaged in the cotton
business and familiar with existing
conditions Of both the domestic and
foreign demand for cotton. concur
in the opinion Of this large dealer.
The Federal Reserve Banks at
Richmond, Va, Atlanta, Ca, Dali
las, Tex, ST. Louis and Kansas
City, have recently sent out letters
to member banks advising that said
banks will go as far as the law per
mits in aiding the south to market
the 1921 crop ane the carryover
from previous years in an orderly
manner. These banks have practi-
callv put cotton on the same basis
as they have heretofore put Uni
ted States Bonds, in that they will
handle for non member banks
notes secured by the 1921 cotton
crop. Notes of member banks Sc
cured by 1920 and 1921 cotton are
eligible for rediscounts at said re-
serve banks. In addition to this ac-
ton on the part of The Reserve
Banks, the war finance corprotalon
is empowered under bill recently
passed by the United States Senate.
TO lend as much as one billion dol
lars on cotton to individuals. firms.
or corporations and the feeling in
Washington is that the House will
also pass the bill and there seems
to be no question of its approval by
the President.
The Government, through the
Reserve Banks and the War FL
nance Corporation, has made every
provision that any reasonable man
can expect to aid the South in or
derly marketing of the cotton now
held in the South and securing a
fair price for same. Domestic mills
are and will probably continue to
buy cotton sparingly and only as
needed. Feoreign mills are buying
the same way. and under such con-
ditions cotton merchants buying
cotton can protect themselves, only
by selling futures which depresses
the price. If the 1927 crop is rush
ed on the market together with the
leakage from previous crops. seven
to ten cents cotton seems certain.
while, if all cotton is marketed

Camden Takes
First Game
Darkness Helps to Stop the
Game

Camden beat Sumter Thursday
in the first game of the five game
series that is to be played in Sum-
ter, the last game being on Labor
day. Sumter came from behind in
the seventh inning and got one
score ahead Of Camden, making
the score five to four and then in
the eighth Camden again got the
lead and won out six to five, Glib
son pitching for Sumter was hit
pretty frequently but kept his con-
troll and never went wild. N.unna-
maker, pitching for Camden, pitch
ed a good game until he hurt his
finger in the sixth. Phillips is back
in the game for Sumter and batting
in his old form. Mack O'Connor
continues to pound the ball almost
every time he comes to bat and
holds down the third bag in fine
form. The Sumter players hope to
get the last two games this week
and to take both ends of the double
header on Monday. Luther will
pitch one of these games although
no information has been given out
as to which one ne will pitch.
For several days past it has been
rumored that there was a White
SoN scout in the city looking over
some of Sumter's crack players and
this was confirmed Thursday when
CIV a,-'c 70 T NJ n,~
was signed up by the scout of the
White Sox to play for them after he
has finished collas-e Luther first
became famous as a player pitch
ing for Newberry College and he
has made good playing semi-pro-
fessional ball and many claim there
is no better pitcher in the state.
Luther is not only great pitcher
but he hits almost as we'll as he
pitches and many a time he has,
been called upon to win his own
game with his bat. Sumter fans
will have an opportunity to see
Luther pitch in Sumter again this
year and next year they will have
an opportunity to read of his pitch
ing in the sport section of the large
dailieS.
1t has been also stated that the
White SoX were trying to secure
Mack O'Conno1, SuInter's versatile
third baseman, to play for them
next year. O'Connor has been hit
ting better than any man on the
team lately and his work on third
base is enough in itself to attract
an offer from the best team in the
country.

WILLIAMsBURG'S SHEk-
RIFF IS SHOT

Only ,pas,ial news. has reaqshed
Sumter today Of the shooting of
Sheriff H: S. Gambol Of Wilkins
burg which. occurred some time
Sunday night. The particulars of
the affair are as yet unknown &ere.
The sheri ffof Clarendon County
whose name is also GamboI IS at

Sumter this morning while EN-
route Jo Kingstree, the scene OF
the shooting. The fact that the

months has had the participation Of
the United States, represented by
| Ambassador Harvey, in matters
concerning this country.
The Supreme Councils authority
is not questioned today any more
than it was during the war. al
though it has never been author
lied by any parliament or congress,
and amounts to an irresponsible
super-government f there is any
such thing.
So much by way Of record. These
facts have practical bearing on
the recent decison Of the Supreme
Council referring the Silesian dis
pute to the Council of the League
of Nations. 1t is the sort of thing
that the League Council was in
tended for.
Regardless of. what anyone may
think Of the League, this should
bring certain satisfaction to every
believer in representative govern
ment. The League Council is di-
rectly responsible to the eight ma
tons itsrepresents, and indirectly to
the remaining 40 nations that be-
long to the League. It's findings,
therefore. are. likely to be. more gen
erafly acquiesced in than would be
the decision OF an arbitrary group
of four statesmen. 1t also offers
to the League Council an excellent
opportunity to make good in a big
issue that threatens the peace Of
Europe. If the League handles this
job, well, observers may feel that it
is really going to amount to some
thing.

is forced to have it, fifteen to twen-
ty cents seems equally certain.
If the facts are as above stated,
it looks reasonable that creditors
will assist in keeping cotton of the
market and thus enabling debtors
to pay up when the cotton is sold.
The 1921 cotton crop has been pro-
duced without the expenditure Of
much actual csah. II assuredly can
be held by the farmer without
much cash if his creditor agrees
that he hold and sell gradually.
The difference between eight and
fifteen cents for the 1921 crop and
the carry over spells the difference
between adversely and prosperity.
1t is up to the grower Of cotton and
the banks as to which it shall be.

State Cotton Report
Government Crop Statistician
Gives Summary Of August
Condition

Saluda, Sept. According to
report of B. 3. Hare. Agricultural
tStatistician in South Carolina for
the Division of Crop Estimates.
United States Department of Agri-
culture, condition Of cotton in the
State on August 25, was SO per
cent normal, against e2 per cent on
July % and Il per cent on August
25, 1920.
A condition Of so per cent indi-
Gates a total production in the
State of approximately 744. 900
bales. However, the final outturn
will be larger or smaller as condi-
tions hereafter are better or worse
than the average. The total pro-
duction in the State last year ap-
proximated 100000 bales, while
in, 1919 it was. 1922 100 bales and
100000 bales in 1918.
The condition for the entire Unit
ed States on August % was 49.3
per cent Of normal, as against SAT
per cent or July 25 and 67.5 per
cent on August 25 last, 61.4 per
cent 1919 and 55.7 per cent on the
corresponding date Of 1918. The
forecast of total production for the
United States at present is 7,037,-
900 bales, against 1855, 900 bales
last year.
Speaking of the report Mr.. Hare
says:
The unusual amount of rainfall
in southern half Of State during
July and August was not only un-
favorable for cotton but was highly
favorable for boil weevil propaga-
ton and infestation. Little or none
of the fruit formed during the past
thirty days has escaped the boil
weevil ravages in the central and
southern counties, and for the past
fifteen days or more the weevil has
been attacking bolls three-fourths
grown and younger. Fields person
ally inspected show from 40 to
80 per cent. Of the bolls have ben
punctured in the sections referred
to. While no wide spread damage
has been observed in Oconee,
Pickens, Greenville. Spartanburg,
Cherokee and York counties the
weevil has made its appearance in
this section. and while not SO Sc
we're as in. the more southernly
counties considerab bic damage is
found in sections Of Abbeville, An
derson, Laurens. Union. Chester,
and Lancaster counties. In sections
OF Greenwood, Newberry, Fairfield,
Kershaw, Chesterfield, Marlboro
and Dillon Counties infestation has
been limited, whereas in other
portions of these counties it has
been more or less severe. In
