Rankin and County Agent Gowan re-
turned Saturday from n motor trip
through large part Of the cotton
growing section of South Carolina.
They went on this trip to eXamine the
condition Of the cotton crop and see
the prospects for this year. They went
by way of Monroe and Wadesboro,
visiting Chesterfield, Cheraw, Darling
ton and Hartsville. Mr.. Rankin
makes such trip each year at this
time. At various places they stopped
and went through the fields, eXamin-
Ing the damage done by the boll
weevil. With the exception of a small
section between Darlington and Harts-
vile, which had suffered from wet
weather. they found crops in a fairly
good shape, except for the damage
done by the weevil which had destroy
ed approximately one-fourth of the
crops where they visited. While at
HartSville they visited the famous
Coker farm, the biggest plant nursery
in that section. Here research work
and experiments are being carried on
by experts to eliminate the menace
of the boil weevil. At this place they
saw methods that have been adopted
to combat the pest. They have de-
cided that the only salvation from the
boil weevil is early planting and the
use of a variety of the seed that pro-
duces a quick maturing boil. Toward
this end they are developing several
varieties of the plant which promise
to bring relief from the weevil. The
best known of these are the 81 delta
type and the 49-4. They are now de-
veloping a still quicker growing plant
called the Lightning Express" Coun-
ty Agent Gowan desires to emphasize
the importance of buying this kind of
seed, for he says that indications arc
that the boil weevil will reach this
ing northward and appeared this year
as near as York county. South Caro-
