SMITH ESTIMATES DAMAGE BL 4.
+ BOIL WEEVIL AT $2,250 900 900

4 80 t5
Washington, Nov. 15.--Loss to the
country this year from the ravages of
! the cotton boil weevil were estimated
$in speech in the Senate today by
\ Senator e. d. Smith at no less than
4 $2,250, 100000. He pictured many
parts of the South as impoverished by
1.-THE insect and by the clothing indus
TRY of America as being seriously af-
fected. The Senator expressed the
opinion that ;six to seven million bales
Sof cotton have been destroyed by the
weevil this year, III.
One million bales We're wiped out
lin the State Of South Carolina, which
Sat twenty cents pound, means that,
Al8$1 900, 100000 in primary value is
ssgone. Multiply that by the eleven cot
'gton growing States and Senators can
understand what this years loss
Means to America 1t means $1,000,
1000 900 in primary loss, with it's added
values as it moves on up through
the different stages of manufacture. !"
Ehe said.
He said the possibility was that
next year would be still more dis
astrous than this, an dthe outlook for
a#World consumption was Every grave
( indeed" The world is now consum-
ing cotton according to officials sta
!, tiseics, Senator Smith declared, at Che
gate of 16,OO0,O0O bales a year.
Senator Smith, after calling atten-
SStion to the ravages Of the boil weevil
sRnd the reduction of the supply here,
saxpressed surprise that the prices of
cotton were still dropping. He
thought the only relief for the agri-
cultural interests was to eight the
devil with fire" For the farmers to
organize their own cooperative SELL
ling companies, their own cooperative
banks and "out of the sweat of their
brow attend to their own business"
2geSIt looks" he said, "as though
sasgery law we have passed and every
Fort we have made to help the cot
Jpn grower, becomes breastwork
|3lehd bulwark from behind which
$hose who have fattened upon him
from time immemorial turn his bless
Jig into curse"
