16NE STAR STATE GROWING
COTTON IN SPITE OF WEEVIL

da. 1t is purely a matter of control,
by soil preparation and methods of
cultivation, and when infestion is par
ticularly heavy by the intelligent ap-
plication, three or four proper times,
of a tested preparation of calcium ar
senate, which will not cost in labor
and material more than SIS an acre,
at the prevailing prices of the poison.
Cultural methods, however, are far
more important than the poisoning
process, and all the poisoning imagi-
nable can avail nothing without the
proper cultural methods
shall analyze in detail the system
of the Texas cotton planter who has
mastered the boil weevil in a subse-
quent article
Conditions That Prevail in Texas
Someone may suggest that if Texas
has mastered the boil weevil why has
not the state gotten back to her old
time production when four-milli,n
bale crop for Lone Star state was al
most as certain each year AS the light
that fcl,pws the dawn
In 1920 Texas did produce 3,GO2.-
los bales-almost her pre- .weevil
normal
In 1921 the acreage was reduced
approximately so per cent and the
gross production compared with 1920
about 60 per cent-due entirely to
generally bad crop conditions indie
pendent of weevil conditions
In 1920 the lint yield per acre was
about 100 pounds, as compared to
an average of 125 before the weevils
had been controlled. 1t was an unus-
ually bad cotton producing year on
the whole, ! am told-the warm and
seasoning spring forcing cotton to
heavy foliage and shallow roofing.
This was followed by drouth that
began just as the squares began to
form, and millions of acres of cotton
were thus literally parched in the
fields,
Agin it must be remembered there
are thousands of improvident, care
less, hit-or-miss so-called farmers in
Texas, as everywhere else, who will
not, more from the lack of energy
than brains, fight to win anything.
They choose the path of least re-
sistance, so long as they get some
thing to eat. These farmers" who
put in, in some kind Of fashion, a re-
corded acreage in cotton, set down
and deliberately let the weevils run
away with them. That same class can
never win in Georgia.
Again, there are several hundred
thousands of acres of Rio Grande val
ley lands, that once produced cotton
like the Mississippi delta, at the rate
of a bale or more an acre each year
that are now planted to citrus fruits
while cotton acreage has accordingly
been extended to less fertile areas.
Again, Texas is an empire. There
are a dozen different grades of nor
NAL climates in the states cotton belt
| a good season in one area does not
mean necessarily good season in
! any other. One section may be ruined
| by drouth; another ruined by floods

MASTERING tn. We / Enough
Again, mastering l6e Boll weevil
does not produce cotton. Let me i'm
press that point
Hundreds of farmers in Texas have
fought valiantly and well in meeting
boil weevil conditions, and have met
them; but in doing so have neglected
other things essential to the produc-
tion successfully of the staple
Again, there is yet in Texas the
experimenting farmer who is never
willing to accept proven results until
he has run the gamut of his own the
ories and ideas
Useless, reckless and uncalled-for
experiments have destroyed more cot
ton bolls in the past few years than
the boil weevil
Let the government do the expert
menting!
Concluding this first article of the
series on "How to farm successfully
under boil weevil conditions, as illus
trated by Texas and other states west
of the Mississippi" let me impress
this one fact-the Texas farmer who
is intelligent and Industrious and who
farms first hand-and not by proxy
on any ground capable under normal
conditions of making even third of
bale of cotton average to the acre,
has long since stopped losing sleep
over the boil weevil.
And the same type of farmer in
Georgia and the Carolinas can do the
same this year by profiting by costly
experience already established.
l shall later go simply and concise
ly into detail.

TOM HIGGINS GREATEST FIGHT
WITH THE INDIANS

Tom Higgins was noted Illinois
ranger during the War Of 1912. One
morning near Fort Hills the Indians
ambushed Toms company and killed
several of them. AS they fed to the
fort, Higgins stayed behind, vowing
that he would get at least one Indian
before he retreated. He got his In
dian, but just as he was preparing to
mount his horse, Ranger Burgess, who
was lying on the ground wounded.
called out to him: "You won't leave
me to the Indians, will you. TomT
Higgins stopped and attempted to
lift Burgess onto his horse, but the
frightened animal jerked the reins
from Toms hand and dashed madly
away.
You'll have to try to crawl to the
fort. Burgess" said Tom, land ! will
stay behind and keep redskins off,"
AS Burgess crawled away, Higgins
ran In another direction to lead the
approaching Indians away from his
wounded comrade. In a few minutes
he was surrounded by the savages and
they wounded him In the leg as he fed
into a deep ravine. He was nearing
the fort when three Indians rose up
before him. One Of them fired and
the ranger fell, wounded for the Sec
Ond time.
With a wild yell the Indians rushed
at him with uplifted tomahawks, but
Higgins rose once more and shot one
Df them dead. The other two then at
tackled him with spears and toma.
hawks. Tom defended himself with
his knife until he was knocked to the
ground by blow from tomahawk
which cut Off one Of his ears.
Finally the ranger tore a spear from
the grasp Of one OF the Indians and
thrust II through the body of the 9th.
er. He was pulled to his feet as the
savage fell. The surviving warrior re.
treated toward his rifle and Tom, un.
daunted by his wounds. staggered aft
er him. The unequal combat had been
seen by the people In the fort, hut they
were afraid to come to his assistance
until brave woman, named Mrs
PursIey, cried out: 81 will not see
such brave man die"
She sprang upon horse and started
to Higgins aid. Shamed by her ex.
ample, several men gallOped after her.
They reached the ranger just as a
large party Of Indians were ready to
swOop down upon him. They threw
Higgins, fainting from loss of blood,
across horse and carried him back
to the fort In safety.
Higgins did not recover from his
wounds for many years, but In HIS old
age he Ins given pension for his
heroic act and was made q doorkeeper

GOV. COOPER SIGNS
COOPERATIVE CONTRACT

Columbia, Jan. 30.-Governor
Z Cooper Saturday affixed his sigma
ture to the cotton cooperative market
ing contract and gave out statement
expressing the earnest hop+ that the
organization of The South Carolina
Cotton Growers Cooperative Associa-
tion would be successfully competed.
"Now that the boil Weevil is upon
us it is going to be necessary for the
farmers of the state to do three
things" said the governor. First,
they must diversity their crops; sec
ono, they must cultivate intensively
~ cotton they do plant and third,
they must market this crop intelli-
gently so as to get the best possible
price for it.
81 am convinced after a study of
the matter that the solution of the
marketing end of our problem lies in
cooperative marketing. 1t is our only
hope for a stabilized market.
"a campaign is now being conduct
ed for signatures to the contract in
South Carolina and / earnestly hope
that the organization committee will
be successful in securing contracts rep
resenting 100000 bales so that the
organization of the association may be
successfully completed. / would ad-
monish every farmer who expects to
grow bale of cotton in 1922 to get
a copy of the contract, study it care
fully and when he has made up his
mind, as / believe he will, sign the
contract so that South Carolina will
sell her cotton comparatively next fall

states of the cotton belt

"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
THE WOMAN WHO RULED
PHILOSOPHER.
BY JAMES c. YOUNG.
tS by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)

ITO ANY ONE who has read the
L "PhilosOphlcal Dictionary" Of
Voltaire, with its caustic humor at the
expense Of humanity, 1t perhaps
seems strange that the author should
have been completely dominated by .
woman throughout many years Of his
life.
When Voltaire was forty he met the
MarQuise Gabrielle du Chatelet. She
was 2S and moved In q society where
handsome blades were the rule, in the
early days Of the Eighteenth century.
Voltaire certainly was not handsome,
although fine head surmounted his
misshapen body. The marquise was
more than a beauty. for she attained
scholarship Of high degree. Any
way, the two soon loved. Voltaire al
ready was famous, and the husband Of
the marquise would not seem to have
interposed strenuous objections.
She was intensely Jealous Of him.
His fame and inscrutable smile capti-
waited many women. She decided
that her chateau In Lorraine would be
a better place Of safe.keeping than
Paris. So she carried the great
philosopher OF. What is more aston
ishing, she kept him there-fifteen
years. When he grew restive she
agreed to yearly trip to Paris. and
the time Of their coming was the sign
for gay days In the capital. The mar
quise was rich and their stay was
marked by lavish entertainment. Then
she would pack her philosopher away
FOR another year in quiet Lorraine.
AT last VOltaire tired Of her. He
complained that he was growing older,
that love must give way to friendship.
There were stormy scenes, and we
may conceive of Beauty wailing at the
shrine Of Philosophy. But this did not
last great while. for we find st.
Lambert, then rising figure In the
literary world. coming upon the scene.
He still was young, much younger
than even the marquise, and II would
appear that he was fattered by the
interest OF q woman who had been
loved by the greatest literary man
then In the world. When Voltaire
realized that the marquise really had
turned to this young scholar he was
indignant. But she reminded him that
1t had been he who sought to break
the dream Of the past. And VoltaIre's
philosophy enabled him to see the
point, for he continued to live in pIa-
tonic friendship with the woman whom
he had loved. As for st. Lambert, he
and the marquise became deeply In
volved. II you would understand just /
what kind Of woman she must have
been, consider that ~ 20 death found
her in i7z8 shs u = ga un -

A REAL FRIEND OF THE FARMER

There are in Congress some the
oretical farmers and there are some
theoretical friends of farmers and
there are some real friends of farm
ers.
In the latter class Senator w. j.
Harris of Georgia, should be includ-
ed. He has by the measures he has ad-
vocated, by the bills he has introduced
and by the speeches made in the Sem
ate shown that he is not theoretical
friend of the farmer but a practical
one.
Senator Harris was an earnest and
persistent advocate of the proposal to
put practical farmer upon the Fed
eral Reserve Board. The Georgia
Senator favored the passage of a
measure which required that one
member of the Board should be an
experienced, practical farmer. In
support of this very worthy conten-
IlOu oSldIoI lidi 10 OIL WY e'b
convincing speech. He said in part:
81 have no apologies to offer to the
Senator from Connecticut or anyone
else for the active support l have Civ
en- all measures to aid agriculture,
and by so doing l have been helping
every business industry. They are all
dependent upon agriculture. Except
for the farmers of the West and the
South the manufacturers of the East
would be compelled to go out of busi-
ness, as they could not sell their
products. Since have been a Member
of the Senate, no matter how merito-
rious and necessary measures may be
for the benefit of the farmers of the
South and the West, there are Ger
tain Senator'S from the East who op-
pose such measures. Agriculture re-
ceives less from the Government in
other industry.
"The Federal reserve banks are not
banks for bankers to make money out
of; it was intended, when created by
Congress, and should be, the finan-
ciai institution that serves every iii
terest, not simply banks and manu-
facturers alone, but agriculture, live
stock, and all other industries alike.
If there had been on this board dur
ing the past two years a representa-
tive of agricultural interests of this
country do not think we would have
had the def1ation policy of the Federal
Reserve Board, which has done such
great injury to the farmers and busi-
ness men of the South and West and
from which it will take years to re-
cover. 1t has destroyed hundreds of
millions in values of farm products" "
Senator Harris called attention to
the fact that the Federal Reserve
banks were spending millions of the
peoples money in constructing bank
buildings that showed a most extra
VACANT waste of public money. Twen-
ty seven million dollars for one bank
building in New York was given as an
example of this gigantic waste of
money.
Senator Harris deserves the thanks
and the hearty appreciation not of
the farmers of the country, but of all
men who believe in an economical adj
ministration of the government and
of justice to the men who cultivate
!, the soil and who arc the prop and the
mainstay of the country.
