THE BOIL WEEVIL

Clemson College, Feb. 28.--More
than twenty years ago some farmers
in Texas imbucd with the spirit of
investigation, bored holes in blocks
Of ice and therein sealed the boil
weevil for twenty-four hours, to find
that after that period the pest was
still alive and healthy. 1t reuired
some explanation to show that this
experiment had little or no signifi-
cance in it's application to boil wee
vii control, but as the moved
eastward somebody who had not
heard Of these experiments, and
stumbling on the same idea, would
repeat it, calling again for further
explanation, says Prof. A. f. Conradi,
entomologist. This winter number
of our citizens made similar expert
ments which brought up the discus
sion in various quarters as to clima-
tic effect on the boil wccvil. Some
came to the conclusion that the wee
vii could not be killed by cold, while
that climatic differences were of no
Importance in boil weevil control.
While such conclusions still find
fertile ground in newly infested
territory like South Carolina, the ex-
pcricnced farmer under boil weevil
conditions merely grins at them. He
has learned in the hard school of cx-
pcriencc the important effects of eli
matte differences between one place
and another, as wei las from season
to season. He knows that the right
kind of cold weather reduces the
number Of wccvils; he knows that
the difficulty in making the cotton
crop increases with excessive rain
fall in the growing season and gencr-
ally decreases with reasonable a.
mount of hot and dry weather dur
ing the growing season.
The annual rainfall of South Caro-
lima is equal to that of Texas during
it's worts Weevil years and it is we'll
for every farmer to mark this and
remember it regardless of the var
ious personal opinions expressed on
the subject. The rainfall in Texas
during the important cotton growing
season frequently is not more than
the rainfall in some sections of the
South Carolina cotton belt i'm a single
month, which makes the wecvil con-
troll problem of much greater diff
Guilty in South Carolina than in areas
of less rainfall. South Carolina
rarely has the dry hot weather that
obtains in the far West, while on the
other hand, the fertilizer consump-
ton is SO much greater, adding very
materially to the overhead cost of

DANGER IN OVERPRODUCTION

Arthur Balfour, noted British
statesman and Deputy President of
the British Chambers of Commerce,
in recent discussion Of Engand's
economic problems, made state
ment which might well be applied to
the condition which our cotton far
mcrs will face another season. Mr..
Balfour said.
"Man may be hungry for food and
clothes and yet be unable to. get
either. Hunger does not buy. What
buys is capacity to pay. And this
hungary world can not buy simply be-
cause it is a bcggcr"
The world is hungry for cotton
goods, but can not buy because it
has not the capacity to pay the price
that makes production profitable.
If all the people in the world could
buy and pay for all the clothes they
need to keep themselves warm, the
entire South with every acre planted
in cotton could not meet the demand.
But the world is beggar and must
dress in beggars' rags. Only GER
tain few can purchase the required
amount Of clothing and food con-
sidcrcd necessary to maintain their
strength and health. Therefore, when
the statistician comes forward with a
statement showing in cold figures
depleted stocks Of clothes and empty
cotton warehouses, just think Of Car
toonist Goldberg's terms, "They

news COMMENTS
FROM WASHINGTON

(By Special News Correspondent
Washington, Dec. Feb. 27.-It is
growing into settled belief among
those who watch and study the mysti-
flying moves of big politics that the
Presidents recent utterances on the
bonus constitute reflection of his
desire to defeat the proposition and
to let the blame rest on the Farm
Bloc, which he looks upon as being
thecvil genius of his administration.
1t is believed that he would like to
place these men in hole from which
they might neve. be able to extricate
themselves. When he gave it out that
he did not favor bonus legislation un-
less the money could be raised by a
sales tax, he knew that the Farm
Bloc is on record as strongly opposed
to such tax. Thus Harding "pass-
es the buck to those gentlemen and
at the same time throws sop to his
Wall Street friends who want q sales
tax to eventually take the place of
taxes and surtaXcs on incomes. In
the same breath he tells the soldier
he would like to sec him get bonus
but throws an obstacle in the way.
1t is more than suspected that the
President would like to see lot of
members of his own party fell outside
the breastworks in the coming cleo
tion fight. There are so many Re-
publicans in the House and Senate
that he can't handle them, and if any
fall he would prefer that they be
members of the Farm Bloc in both
House and Senate. Of course it is
well known that the Democrats are
getting together most militant Or
ganization for the purpose of causing
an utter disappearance of this un-
wieldy condition. One of the big Re-
publicans told newspaper man the
other day that the leaders of his
party were hopeful that the majority
of 169 in the House could be reduced
to 80 or 40 without starting an avail
anche that would wipe out the major
ity completely. They would like to
have Il Congress that could be con-
trolled by a few leaders, but it is
dangerous time to try the tactics
thought of. AS far as impartial OBJ
servers can see at this time, the
slaughter among Republicans of both
House and Senate will be great, but
that the Farm Bloc will suffer the
least. The Democrats say the Re-
publicans are in for the worst trim
ming they have had in 80 years.
While addressing the League of
Republican clubs in Washington last
Saturday the President made a dam
aging display of his Toryism. Only
those who read widely and keep close
observation are aware Of the extent
of Harding's reactionary tendencies.
Some who read this will recall that he
was one of the few public men who
condoncd the action Of little group
in the Baltimore convention Of 1912
who withheld the nomination from
Champ Clark after he had received
majority of votes and after he had
shown in the primaries that he was
the choice of the voters. Harding

The world champion New

greater surplus of baseball
strength than any other club,

sary to give the Tulsa Western

what-not Of the Giants.
Crawford has high hopes Of get
ting az least one badly needed man,
n ciuch there are men I'm the Giant
training camp who won't be able to
hang on with the world champions
but who, nevertheless. would be
1bright stars in any class A league.
And Crawford. being a warm per-

sociated with the New York chief
tain in business ventures, Is figured
10 have o better-than-fair chance to
get Just what he wants.
