FIGHTING THE BOIL WEEYIL.
Intelligence, Courage and Optimism
Needed by Farmers

Intelligence, Courage and Optimism
Needed by Farmers.
Clemson College, Dec In spite
OF the efforts OF scientists employed
by the various Southern states and
the United Sttaes Department Of Ag-
riculturc, and in spite Of the various
climatic conditions encountered over
the cotton growing states, the boil
weevil has annually extended opera
tions, the advance line of this pest hav-
ing moved entirely across South Car
olina. leaving the state infested from
nately for the farmers Of South Caro-
lima, says w. w. Long, Director of the
Extension Service, we are able to draw
lessons from the experience Of other
states over period Of nearly thirty
years, the boil weevil having entered
Texas in 1892. This should enable us
to avoid many Of the costly mistakes
that have been made over and over
again by the cotton growers Of the
statesf further west.
Clemson Agricultural College and
the United States Department of Agri-
culture have made special studies of
the boil weevil problem, co-operatins
with every agency interested along
this line. At frequent intervals re-
liable information has been issued
with the view Of keeping our people
thoroughly Informed regarding this
pest and the methods Of fighting it.
IN 1916 the College was instrumental
in organizing tho South Carolina Boil
Weevil Commission, which went into
the infested states of Louisiana and
Mississippi and studied the weevil Mt
first hand under conditions similar to
those prevailing In this state. The
report Of the Commission Used by
Clemson In November, 1916, as Bulle-
tin No. 20. containing practically all
the reliable information Of Importance
that had been developncd regarding
the boil weevil problem. This report
had wide circulation and was con
sfdcred to be so thorough and accu-
published 1t in February, 1917, as a
Senate Document. This Document
Is now available in revised form. Ma
ny other bulletins. reports, and spec
ial articles dealing with specific phases
Of the problem have been issued from
time to time. The Extension Service,
through the county agent system, has
kept this Information before the people
constantly. AS result the average

ANTI.LYNCH LAW
LIKELY 10 PASS


Republican MajoriHes Behind Measure.

eral Court
Washington, dec. 14.-The anti
lynching bill, framed by the Republi-
can party as means of striking a blow
at the South, will very probably be
enacted, as far as the house Of repre-
sentatives Is concerned, Saturday af-
ternoon. Although Democrats will
greatly impede its passage through
tho senate. its final passage is appa1..
emily certain.
The Republicans have caucused and
agreed. The bill was introduced by
Representative Dyer Of Missouri, and
in teh beginning 1t was generally be-
lieved that Republicans, with large
negro populations to cater to would
be satisfied with an active sponsorship
without insistence that it be written
into law. 1t develops today that the
Republicans are determined to put it
through. The bill would transfer all
cases involving lynching from state to
federal courts, would fine and impris-
on from five years to life any one par
ticipating in a lynching, would impris-
on an officer lax in protecting pris-
oner, and would fine the county in
(Which lynching occurred $4,000.
Democrats are fighting the bill siren
uously. They contend and believe
that it is unconstitutional in that it
warrants an invasion OF state rights
by the federal government, although
it is probable that section imprison-
ing an officer found guilty of with
holding protection is constitutional.
Similar statutes obtain in Illinois,
Ohio and South Carolina. They have
not decreased lynching. Representa-
tive James f. Byrnes Of South Carroll
ma, leading the fight against the bill, do
clares that during the II years an an
ii lynching provision has been in the
constitution Of South Carolina, the
lynchings have been only two less in
number than during the II years pre-
ccding.

out uOuDt potter informed in the prac-
tical phases Of this subject than has
been the case in any other state at the
time Of the arrival of the boil weevil.
Other states have had this prob
lem to face, and while they suffered
severely they have demonstrated that
there are ways OF dealing with the
boil wcevil problem. Cotton Is being
grown in spite OF the boil weevil. 1t
Twill be grown in South Carolina in
spite of the boil wecvil This is not
the time, therefore, to permit our
| selves to become depressed and pes
simistic. Instead, we must study the
problem thoroughly and learn the
methods and practices which enable
other farmers to produce cotton prof
ltably under boil weevil conditions.
Before relying upon boil weevil in
formation, We must be sure that it
comes from u source that can and
docs disseminate reliable information.
3y studying information from relia-
Die sources and adapting it to our par
ucular needs we can adjust ourselves
much more quickly and economically
TO the new conditions enforced by the
Doll weevil We cannot rely upon in
formation based on one years exper-
lence with the weevil. The best in
formation is that based on many years
or experience such as the states of
Alabama have had. These states have
mad time to adjust themselves to new
conditions and to adopt new farm
practices, whereas the newly infested
sections arc still foundering around
from one thing to another in an effort
TO find remedies for the boil weeytl.
There is no single new crop which
promises to take the place OF cotton
as our money crop. There is no com
b1nation OF crops which can be recon-
mended as specific.

continues to be grown as the CHIEF

Plunging on new unknown moey crops
brings on problems that are as hard
to solve as is the problem Of growing

We must simply adapt ourselves to
the changed aspects OF farming and
meet new conditions with suitable
methods.

Offer Court House Site
For Federal Building

The new County Courthouse site in
Centre Street is shortly to be trans
ferred to the Federal government in
return for the old Federal Building site
at Broadway and Park Row, if negoti-
ations just launched between Post
master Edward M. Morgan and Mayor
Hylan reach a successful conclusion.
Postmaster General Will H. Hays,
who recently instructed Postmaster
Morgan to find location for a new
Federal building, will confer with his
New York colleagues in Congress next
week with a view to furthering the
measure, introduced in Congress by
Representative Albert z. Rossdale on
September 26, which provides for re-
moval OF the present Federal building.
If the plans go through the present
Federal Building will be torn down
and it's site added to City Hall Park.
Postmaster Morgan has asked the
Mayor to submit the proposition to the
Board of Estimate. The Mayor turned
the matter over to Comptroller Craig
and it will be placed before the Board
Of Estimate probably on September 90
Another meeting of the Citizens
Postal Committee, called by POST
master General Hays, will be held
shortly at the Waidorf-Astoria and
definite proposals made for trading the

Nicon and Berwind Quit
As Shonts's Executors
Retirement Will Permit Guar.
anty Trust Co. to Act Alone
in Settling Estate

Delaney Nicoll and Edward ]. Ber-
wind yesterday filed in the Surrogates'
Court a announcement of their appoint
ment as executors and trustees under
the will of Theodore P. Shonts, presi-
dent of the lnterborough Rapid Transit
Company. They assigned no reason
for their action.
The will of Mr.. Shonts was the SUBJ
ject of bitter contest filed by his
widow, Mrs. Milla D. Shonts, to whom
the testator left no part of his estate
except 100000 to repay loan his wife
had made to him. Mr.. Shonts left the
bulk of his estate to "my FRIEND" Mrs.
Amanda G. Thomas. 1t is customary
when contest of will is filed to
appoint temporary administrator to
take over the functions of the ex-
ecutors pending the outcome of the
contest. In the Shonts case the Guar
anty Trust Company, also named as ex-
ecutor by Mr.. Shonts, was appointed
by the Surrogates' Court as temporary
administrator.
Mrs. Shonts withdrew her contest
and also made apology to Mrs. Thomas
for statements she had made about her.
1t is understood that Mr.. Nicoll and Mr..
Berwind retired as executors so as
to allow the Guaranty Trust Company
to act alone in settling the affairs of
the estate, which will mean a sub
stantial saving in the matter of ex-
ecutors' fees.

Three armed men entered the Inter
borough subway station at Freeman

this morning, and at revolver points
robbed Frank Schneider, of SS4 East
1e5th Street, the ticket agent of $115s2.
Schneider's calmness in the emergency
resulted in the arrest later of a man
who is charged with being implicated
in the hold-up.
When the three men crowded about
the window of his booth and pointed
revolvers at him. Schneider dropped
to the floor. Sitting on the floor, out
of sight of the bandits, he reached for
his phone and called the police. While
the ticket agent was phoning the ban
dts thrust their hands through the
window opening and took Sis in bills
and eighty-two cents in change.
AS the three men were driving off
in touring car, Patrolman Rodder, Of
the Simpson Street station, jumped on
the running board of their machine and
ordered the driver, who gave his name
as John Leubeck, of 504 Bergen Avenue,
to put up his hands. When he did this
