TT WAS foreseen that the Chinese
problem would be the most trou-
blesome for the conference, for obvious
reasons. At this writing 1t seems to
have come to a question whether the
Anglo-Japanese treaty will be abro-
gated, and If so, whether some sort
Of a tripartite agreement will be sub
Stituted for 1t. Unless the former Is
done, probably the discussions will be
fruitleSs; and unless the latter Is
done, 1t Is likely Great Britain will
not consent to the former. On Mon
day the eight powers sitting in the
committee on the Far East adopted
a program submitted by Elihu Root
by which these points were made
sure:
There will be no Intervention by
foreign powers in the present pollt-
ical struggle in China.
The territorial and administrative
integrity of the Asiatic republic is as
sured.
Japan and all the other nations
agreed to refrain from greedy scram-
BILE for commercial rights and privi-
leges there.
The "open door" finds q new deflni-
ton.
Baron Kato won a decided victory
for Japan when he persuaded the
committee virtually to recognize that
Manchuria, though an integral part
OF China. Is so thoroughly in posses
sion Of the Japanese that the status
quo should he maintained there. There
Is divergence Of views among the
British, French and Chinese as to
how the Root principles are to be
applied to specific matters. At the
close of the week the Chinese pro-
posals 0for lifting foreign restrictions
on Chfna's customs revenue were be-
ing considered by n subcommittee.
One concession had been won by the
Oriental neutrality-suspicious. to in
crease It's tariff rate from per cent
to 1914 per cent. So far as IS now
apparent. the idea Of restoring to
China the various parts Of her ter
ritOry now held by other powers has
gone into the discard. That question
is complicated by the fact that Rus
slams have control of outer Mongolia
and have SET up n Mongolian soviet
there. Moreover Tchitcherln. Russian
minister of foreign affairs, says they
intend to stay there, and II Is beyond
thought that any Of the nations rep
resented IN the Washington confer
ence should undertake to oust them.
WITH the final adoption Of two
w measures OF Importance - the
tax bill and the anti-medicinal beer
bill-congress wound up the business
Of the special session and adjourned
Wednesday afternoon. The senator's
and representatives will have about
ten days vacation before the regular
session meets. Enactment Of the tax
bill into law means the repeal Of the
transportation taxes and a consider
able number of other miscellaneous
taxes on January I, 1922. While the

ticns under boil weevil conditions.
The greatest responsibility rests up
on the landowners. II they are ,;oing
to continue to own their lands they
will be obliged to see to it that those
who farm them have correct informa-
ton and closest supervision for the
average farm tenant must have SYM
pathetic and correct instruction and
active supervision until he thoroughly
learns the new methods of operation.
A few broad principles of opera
tion for the whole state may be sug-
gested:
First Destroy Immediately all cot
ton stalks as soon as the crop is
gathered. This will prevent the hatch
irg of millions of new weevils dur
irg October. The old weevils do not
hibernate until cold weather and the
destruction Of their food supply will
cause them to die before frost. The
carrying out of this suggestion at
once is imperative and every effort
should be made to induce every far
mer in the state to do this work at
once, for, if only a few do it, it will
have little effect in reducing mex,
years weevil supply.
Second. During The fall and win
ter destroy all cover in which wee
wills may be hiding. burning ditch
banks and margins of woods and
cleaning up around stumps. Fodder
and hay stacks should not be allowed
TO remain near cotton fields.
Use of Fertilizer.
Third. Cotton should be literally
fertilized with quick acting fertili-
zer containing about so pounds of
available phosphoric acid per acre.
ammonia and potash to be used ac-
cording to the character and relative
fertility of the soil All applications
OF ammonia should be put down be
fore the middle of June. Over doses
OF potash have tendency to delay
maturity. Where tie weed crows tall
only small amount of ammonia
should be used as it always delay;

Fourth. Early planting OF approved
varieties of cotton with plenty of seed.
The farmer should save at least 3
bushels of good seed for each acre he
is going to plant. He should plant at
least two bushels before April ! i'm
the lower half Of the state end
before April 10 in the upper half of
the state reserving a bushel per acre.
If stand is not secured by the first
planting he should plant over not
later than April 10 in the lower half
or April 90 in the upper half If
blue in the fields for lack cf picking
stands are usually secured from ex-
ira early paintings and the experience
is that under boil weevil conditions
the greatest crops are always made
from the earliest paintings. If stands
are not secured at n comparatively
early stage the land intended for cot
ton should be put into other crops.
Fifth. Cotton should be left thick

vary with the height of the natural
growth of the plant, three inches or

HOW TO FIGHT THE WEEvIL.
Fractical Farmers and Extension
Workers Offer Helpful Sug-
:. gestions.

-. A few weeks ago a number of far
mers, merchants and bankers met at
ssolumbia for the purpose of outlin-
x a plan of campaign against the
!. b. yeevil. In the meeting were prac-
tical farmers and experts from the
agricultural department - men who
had studied the progress of the boil
\ ,weevil through the cottotn belt since
It invaded Texas. d. r. Coker of
y sA1artsville. one of the largest and most
successful planters in the south, was
!. made chairman. With the assistance
fof other practical farmers Mr.. Coker
:, has outlined plan of campaign which
If followed will to large extent ov-
!. .ercome boil weevil damage.
~ The state was divided into districts,
and as farming methods vary in diff
: ferent parts of the state. certain rules
were laid down for each district.
y Following are Mr.. Coker's recon-
mendations:
y The march of the boil weevil across
We'd by panic and decentralization.
Farmers, bankers and merchants
Enlightened by one or two years OF
heavy losses, have in many cases cur
= tailed operations and credits to the
point where farming was stifled and
? labor was forced to leave the country
to prevent starvation. There are signs
\ that similar panic may occur in
perts of this state unless means are
b taken to reaSSure the people and
point out a safe course for agricultur-
J al operations under boil weevil condi-
tions. To this end a group of practical
! farmers and business men in coopera-
tion with the extesion bureau have
, studied the situation in the light OF
their own experience and that of 9th
,t t"-er states and the accumulated eX
pvfimental results of governmental
. agencies and beg leave to present the
following suggestions and program as
! one which will meet TIE situation, pre-
venting decentralization and enabling
J. our farming and business interests tC
continue profitable operations.
1t is especially important TO pre-
vent our people from stampeding in
to new and untried fields of agricul-
ture in which they will fail for lack
of information and experience. Prom
Using new crops should of course be
tested and where proved successful
should be increased as rapidly as the
people gain experience but not faster
Must Reach All.
The problem is not so much as to
what to do as it is how TO reassurC
the people and get the information OF
how to proceed to every farmer, rent
er, and sharecropper in the state This
must be done if it is done at all by
the larger farmers merchants, bank
ers and professional men who should
make it their business to reach the
isolated farmers and tenants and dis
cuss with them the program of opera

four inches not being too close as a
minimum and eight inches or ten
inches as maximum.
Sixth. The question of poisoning
fol boil weevil is still in the exper-
mental state. but your committee be-
lieves that poisoning with calcium ar
senate is valuable. especially if done
at the proper time and under favor
able conditions.
Doubtful as to Time.
Heavy damage from plant lice fol-
lowing busting with calcium arsenate
early last August makes us doubt
full as TO this treatment when applied
at that time. The weevils should also
be picked from the plant in the early
stages and as soon as punctured
squares are noticed they should be
picked up twice per week until mid
summer. Rapid and thorough cultiva-
tion AT all times should be employed
and the crop should be gathered as
fast as open to insure high grade.
In no case should more cotton be
planted than can be properly handled
at all stages and promptly picked by
the labor on the farm. for il is the
height of folly to plant crop and,
let the boil weevil eat it up for lack
of attention or allow it to become
blue in the fields Fl lack OF picking
force
The experience of many of our best
farmers and numerous experiments
conducted under the auspices of the
experiment stations prove that il is
absolutely essential in almost all sec
tions 10 use around 500 pounds per
acre of acid phosphate under cotton.
In most cases if the amounts applied
Vtried much. either above or below
this standard, the crops were less
profitable.
Everywhere il must he insisted on
that the individual farmer and ten
ant raise an abundant supply of food
and that this food and feed be proper
.lN conserved. The man with a crib
full of corn and hay. q smoke house
full of meat and mOlasses. a hundred
bushels of sweet potatoes in a stora GO
house and a garden full of vegetables

Storage houses for keeping sweet
potatoes should be everywhere con
strUctod as this IS one of The greatesf
crops We have and one which every
farmer can raise Some special suc-
gestionS are:
For Lowcr Coastal Plain.
Within 80 miles Of the coast it is
doubtful whether cotton can bo profit
ably raised under boil weevi condi-
tions except during very dry summers
following unusually cold winters. If

small, planting should be done extra
early with extra early approved varic-
ties and only the quickest acting fer
tilizer used. In this section the main
