Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1922-11-08

Here is a little editorial from The
State, Columbia, presenting a point
of view thoroughly logical and thor
oughly heartening to the farmers of
South Carolina. Read it:
Until year or two ago it was Of
ten advisable to warn Southern far
mers against over-production of cot
ton. Cotton associations carried on
energetic campaigns for curtailment
of acreage.
Exactly the reverse has come about
with the arrival of the boil weevil.
Too many men are leaving the farms
in the belief that cotton growing will
no more be profitable.
The outlook for the intelligent,
diligent cotton grower, willing to
read, attend, listen and learn is de-
cidedly better than it has been in
many year.
The danger Of over-production
is eliminated.
At the price that prevailed yes
terday quarter of bale fetches as
much money as a bale sold rs years
ago.
To thoroughly understand the COM
ditions reflected in the above is the
beginning Of wisdom for the cotton
grower in this state. There is going
to be money in growing cotton
more money than ever before for the
man who can grow it. 1t is going to
be more difficult to produce cotton
than before. Brains are going to be
necessary in it's production. And
brains are always rewarded. The far
r1er who does not believe anything
the students of agriculture say, and
refuses to accept their teachings, will
not raise cotton. The boil weevil will
eat his crop every year and he will
finally quit or go broke. While the
man who has ears to hear and uses
his ears for their purpose will make
cotton and get a good price for it..
The boil weevil simply out wits the
ignorant and restricts the production.
It is another application of the law,
unto him that hath shall be given
