Q repetition Of conditions was
noted in the reports Of the farm
ers who were interviewed. One
farmer said that he had 600 acres
which had produced an average
of about 500 bales, but that he
would take the price of 25 bales
for the entire crop now on the
600 acres.
From Bamberg the party trav-
eled through Orangeburg and st.
Matthews to Columbia, and the
Afields throughout the whole ride
were all of one kind, fine, large
weed, with practically no fruit
OH it.
From Columbia the party trav-
eled by way of Camden, Kershaw
and Lancaster to Fort Mill. the
earlier arrivals reaching Fort
Mill at midnight Wednesday, af-
ter journey of 224 miles from
1880 O'Clock, the whole route be-
ing about 3S5 miles.
On the trip from Fort Mil! to
Columbia the firs: devastated
field was noticed about eight
miles north Of Columbia. There
some OF the party stopped to look
it over and after resumig their
seats in the cars, one member of
the party discovered that la was
carrying away a boil wsevil on
his knee. The party was told
that the laborers coming from
the fields frequently found mum
bers of weevils in their clothes.
No doubt the insects are carried
great distances by automobiles
and railroad trains.
Much advice as to what the
farmers of this section should do
was given by the low-country
farmers. Some thought we might
be able to make another fair crop
under favorable conditions: 9TH
erS advised that we plant only "a
few acres to the plow and try to
keep the fallen squares picked
and burned; still others. and
these were the majority, advised
that no cotton at all be planted,
adding, IF you do you are sure
to go broke just as we have
There is no doubt but that the
unfavorable seasons in the early
part of the summer in the sec
tons traversed by the Fort Mill
party had much to do with the
poor crop and the activity of the
weevil. Rain fell more or less
continuously for nearly three
months which provided ideal
conditions for the boil weevil to
multiply and thrive.
There We're some good roads in
the low-country. but as a general
proposition the roads were no
: better than those of York county.
Some stretches were miserable
and prompted one driver to say
that if he ever kicked again
about the road from Fort Mill to
Charlotte, he was willing to be
kicked. C.S. l..
