Several members OF the Moline

against the action Of the directors
in taking sides in the controversy
between the railroads and their
employees.
The Chamber Of Commerce is q
very good thing in the community"
said N. s. Smith, clothier. but it

This decision on my part is
based upon the fact that your body
has without consultation with its
members taken sides in the contro-
versy between the railroads and

W. H. Efflandt, president Of the

In the 20 years the business

the cotton acreage.
S. The expense and difficulty of
the government method put it
completely out. of reach of the av-
erage cotton producer.
1t seems perfectly evident that
if and when the bureau of ento-
mology succeeds in convincing any
large proportion Of the cotton rails
ers that their method of control is
ing under boil weevil conditions, an
immediate scramble for the avail
able supply Of calcium arsenate
will occur, the price will be lifted
sky high, not another acre will or
can be treated by their. method
than was treated the past year,
only comparatively few of the
more able planters can secure
their share of the material and
the whole cotton industry will be
worse off than it now is, just to
the extent of the advance in price
of calcium aGscnate.
Calcium Arscnate Supply,
The above will not be true if an
unlimited supply of calcium arse
nate were available, bu3 as the en-
tire available supply was exhaust
ed this year and as there is 20
likelihood of great increase in
production, the above statements
are evidently true.
1t has for some months, ther'-
fore, seemed to me absolutely nee
essary that some cheap and simple
method Of weevil control be de-
vised. Some form of the calcium
arsenate and molasscs method, l
believe, offers this remedy.

will apply after square picking q

more than one-helf pound Of cal

suits and those of many other
farmers in state show that over
wintered weevils can be killed out
on the young cotton by such an
application. Other experiments
which we have carried on this year
seem to show that very minute
amounts of calcium arsenate-as
little as one ounce or two ources
per acre in mixture of molasses
and water may effect high de-
gree Of weevil control. We must
do further experimenting, how
ever, before making this assertion.

Rabin I. McDavid, Of Greenville,
great theories ' of efe road Werb buildin@' Hwo
One the count yunit plan and the
other system of roads with the
State as a unit. The time had come,
he thought, for the State to lend it's
credit for the building of highways,
and, with that idea in view, he
made motion that the conference
go on record as favoring State
bond issue for road purposes. J.
A. Banks, of Stiff Matthews, amend
ing the foregoing to specify a State
wide system Of hard surfaced roads
connecting each of the county seats.
Mr.. Banks told of the plan which
was carefully worked out in the
General Assembly three years ago
for a Statewide system, the funds
to be derived from bond issue of
between twenty-five and thirty
million dollars, and the system was
carefully marked out on blue
print, the highways connecting
each of the county seats. The plan
failed for the reason that there
was such a multitude of ideas in
the Generfal Assembly that the
body could not get down to a work
able basis. He was satisfied that,
If the people thoroughly under
stood what the bond issue meant,
in the decrease in wear and tear
on cars and the saving of gaso-
line during year, that they would
gladly vote for it; provided, they
are shown just where the roads are
to be built and what benefits they
are to derive from them.
l.. D. Jennings, of Sumter, thought
that it, would not ha tn cto,t
with a bond issue of less than $780,
100000 and the State plan to such
that every county seat in South
Carolina would be connected with
hard-surfaced system of roads.
He thought that here should be
q careful survey of the State show
ing just where the roads are to
be built, the material from which,
they are to be constructed and
that each count ybe paid for work
already done by it in the State sys-
tenn based on the price of the work
at the flotation of the bond issue.
Would Save Money
Mr.. Jennings said that hard
surfaced system Of roads would
save the people untold millions of
dollars each year, and the issue
consume $17,000,00O worth of gas
line each year, that approximate
ly $50,00O,000 is paid every two
years for new cars and that the
wear and tear on them each year
aggregates $10,G00,00O. Estimating
that the gasoline consumption would
be reduced one-third, that the lifo of
car would be increased from two to
six years and that its wear and tear
would be decreased two-thirds by q
system of hard-surfaced roads, Mr..
Jennings claimed that approximately
$40,000,000 annually would be saved
to the 100000 automobile owners in
the State, estimating each car to be
worth an average Of 81 900 and tho
repair bill on it to be 500 annually.
Assuming, however, that hard-sur-
faced roads connected only tho county
seats, he said, and that the automo-
bile owner travelled on them only one
third Of his mileage, then the saving
would be at least $1O,O00,OO0 a year,
enough to take up the $4,000 900
bond issue in six years, and pay it's
interest.

Boil WeeUil Poisoning
Problem Persists
David r. Coler Surveys Results Obtained in Control of
The Cotton Pest by Various Methods and Submits
Certain Conclusions That He Has Reached.
TO the Editor of The State:

To the Editor of The State:
Your editorial of December seems
to call for sonic further information
from me as to the success Of the call
cium arsenate- -molasses method Of
weevil control.
Let me say first, however, a few
words as to my whole attitude on
the subject of wcevil control: For
more than dozen years I have
been studying the subject, have
been breeding varieties that might
be expected to successfully meet
the weevil and have been endeav-
oring to work out mthods Of farm
practice which might prove sue
cessful under weevll conditions. |
carefully watched the government
work on weevil control and when
these methods into operation on
the majority of our cotton areas.
We also in limited way tested the
molasses calcium arsenHte method,
of which we had heard good 2c-
ports.
Our experiments with the lust
ing method were comparative fail
ures, as these fields became heavi-
ly infested with small yellow
plant louise following the dusting
and these lice severely damaged the
cotton. No damage infestation
followed the molasses method and
good results were obtained where
it was used. This season we again
treated one field with the dusting
method and observed the same re-
action of heavy plant louise III
fcstation, which we checked by an
application of sulphat of nico-
tine.
Notwithstanding our unfortunate
experience with the busting meth
cd and that of several other farm
ers in this section, I freely admit
that the dusting method has
usually proved to be profitable and
that it is apt to save large pro-
portion of the cotton crop where
properly applied.
There are several Wry serious
objections to it, however, and l feel
that some method of weevil con-
troll must be worked out which
will overcome these objections.
Until such method is put before
the people there is no hope that
weevil control will become general
and that any large proportion of
the cotton crop can DC saved.
Objections to busting
The principal objections to the
busting methods, as recommend
cd by those in charge of the wee
vii control work last spring, are:
l. 1t does not advocate pois-
oning of the weevils until they have
had an opportunity to rein'est the
fields by puncturing the first ap-
pearine squares.
2. 1t requires that The poison
be applied under certain condi-
tions of moisture and absence of
wind, which conditions are not
usually present except at night and
are not phesent every night.
3. More or less expensive ma
chincry is necessary for it's appli-
cation.
4. The government receipt re-
quires the application of. large guam
titles Of calcium arsenate various
ly estimated at 20 to 40 pounds
(and under certain conditions much
more) per acer. It is estimated that
the available supply Of calcium ar
senate present and prospective will
treat not moro than 10 per cent. Of
