PICTURES ON BOIL WEEVIL
TO Be SHOWN ON monday

County Agent, w. r. Gray is very
enthusiastic over the boil weevil meet
ings which are to be held in Manning
and Summerton on Monday, June 13.
Mr.. Gray feels that he is very for
tunate in being able to bring the
moving picture Beating the Boil
WeeyiP' to this county and hopes that
every person interested in the boil
weevil will be present. And he is
also glad to say that he was able
to bring these speakers here: J. o.
er now with the Delta Laboratory

State Entomologist, George Ander-
son, Extension Entomologist of Glenn
son College.
Clemson College extension service,
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture and County Agent Gray are
cooperating in putting on these meet
ings.
No farmer can really afford to miss
attending one of these meetings. In
dications show that over-fowing
houses may be expected at both places
The meeting to be held at Mann
promptly at 4.30 and the one to be
held at Summerton will be at the au-
ditorium of the High School promptly
at $3.50. The same program will be
carried out at both places.
Mr.. Gray would like to have shown
this picture at other points in the
county but it was impossible for him
to obtain this picture and the services
of these men for more than one day.
This picture will be shown free of
charge SO it will be possible for every
farmer to be present.

BASE BALL SEASON OPENS
IN MANNING TODAY

Base ball is taking the day now
adays, and on last Friday Summerton
came to Manning to show our bows
the art OF playing, and we might saw
they succeeded We lost by a score
OF . to 3. On Monday we tried them
again on their ball lot, and again they
sent us home with a drubbing, score
10 to 8. Today Manning's hired bows
open the season with Camden. This
team looks mighty good, and we feel
sure of winning many ball games.
The in-feld will be: jim Philips,
catcher; Martin and Luther, pitchers ;
Crawford, lst base; Wideman, End
base; Shcaley, short stop; "Dodc"
Philips Bird base; the out. field will be.
Williams, Smith, and Ridpewav'
Luther was Ncwbcrry's star pitcher.
Shealey was with the same college
and is said to be one Of the best col
lego, in tiel elders in the State. Craw-
Iord has been playing first base for
Davidson two wears and has made an
envIable record. Wideman and jim
PhlllpS we all know are good and fast
ball players, also "Dodc" Philips who
was with Manning last year. "Dode"
Wound-up his base ball career at
Ersltlnc College this year, and the
i""' game MS team played he hit the
longest ball ever seen at Due West, in
fact, from the newspaper reports the
ball is still going. "Dodc" did that at
college and YOU can look for him to
repeat in Manning. His throwing.
across the diamond is worth the price.
The out-fcldcrs arc local bows and
they play good ball. Camden also
plays here tomorrow and Friday. This
IS hired bunch and the games will
be fast and snaDpy.

ALABAMA SAYS
WE HAVE EN-

Auburn, Ala, June 6, 1921.
Mr.. w. c. Whiteside,
Manning, S. c..
Dear Sir:
The insects accompanying your let
ter of June 1st are the genuine Mexi-
can cotton boil wecvil.
This species has now spread owe,
practically the entire State of South
Carolina and into the southern coun-
ties of North Carolina. You must
look forward to severe damage from
this pest in the future. There is no
likelihood that it will be extefminated
or that it will pass on; it will probably
there as long as cotton continues to be
grown.
In accordance with your request
am writing Mr.. Frank P. Burgess
Manning, S. G. as follows:
insects sent are genuine Mexican
cotton boil weevils.
Letter follows:
Under separate cover am scndine
you copies of two or three bulletins
on the boil weevi that I thought
might be of interest to you. | have
been connected with boil weevil work
since 1902 where I started studyine
the life history of this insect in Texas
and can appreciate your situation as
the insect spreads through that sec.
tion of the country.
Sincerely yours,
w. e. Kinds,
Entomologist

THE BOIL WEfVlL SITUATION
IN CLARENDON COUNTY

Clarendon County is now passing
through her first real boil weevil
scare, and the boil weevil problem is
one of the chief topics Of conversation
wherever men gather. This is the u.s.
ual state under similar conditions.
Cotton growers and business men
from the Rio Grande to Manning have
experienced this same feeling. The
boil weevil always strikes at an in
opportune time. No country has ever
been ready for him when he makes
his appearance, but it is up to us to
make the best Of the situation and not
to become dcmoralized. This will only
make bad matters worse. In some re-
spects we are unusually well prepared
for the boil weevil this year. There
is probably, smaller acreage of cot
ton and larger acreage of food and
feed crops planted in the county than
over before in her history. This is, of
course, all in our favor. On the other
hand, the business affairs of our peo-
pie are not IN the best Of conditions to
face this situation. But as already
mentioned, l think it is up to business
man and farmer to cooperate whole
heartedly and with thorough under
standing i'll order that we may work
out of this into a better and safer ag-
riculture than we've had before.
DO not act rashly or without ma
ture thought. No one can tell at the
present how much damage the weevil
will effect in 1921. This depends up
on the weather and upon the Individual
farmer. We knew at planting time
that the boil weevil was present and
the fact that we have found them in
our fields is only further proof of
what we were already expecting.
The man having from fifteen to
twenty acres of cotton to the plow is
the, fellow that the boil weevil will
probably hurt most. AS it will be
impossible for him, even with good
weather to cultivate rapidly enough
TO keep the weevil under control. Nor
will he be able to keep the squares
picked up before the weevils come out
of them. But the man having from
five to eight acres to the plow may,
with favorable weather, make a fair
yield of cotton.
The best policy to follow, as see
it, is for the farmer to look closely to
his crops other than cotton. Be sure
to make plenty Of corn. Grow out
plenty of meat and if practical have
few hogs to sell. l will be glad to
help you market them. Produce
plenty Of sweet potatoes and if pos
slble put them into curing house.
Don't neglect the garden and the
family cow. These will go along way
toward feeding the family Then by
all means get your stubblc land seed
ed to some leguminous crop. Seed
are very hard to find and the price is
high, but no one can afford to let this
stubble lie idle.
Last but not least, begin now to
planning your system Of farming for
l922 and get things in shape to fol-
low this new scheme of farming. For
1t is going to be necessary for the
system of farming to undergo rath-
er decided change in this county, as in
other boil weevil counties, if we arc
to do profitable farming.
w. r. Gray, County Agent.
