Cess. z. w .ght Jolly, well known
Cherokee county farmer, speaking of
thc general cotton situation Tuesday,
said: "The boil wcevil is here, and
will be closely identified in the raising
of cotton for some time. ! expect TO
raise cotton as usual. SO can every
farmer, if he but will take the ordi-
nary precauticr TO destroy rs many
wcevils as he car, and that at the
proper time. ! burn ell my tuft grass,
oli stumps and stalks. in fact every
thing that the wcevil can burrow in
and go into winter quarters. When he
Ccts in there is the time to apply the
torch. ! do not expect, of course, to
destroy them all in that manner, but |
Hlil get enough to allow me to raise
cotton prcftably. Besides, we are not
bothered with the weevil in the north
ern Part OF tEe state anything like
we arc in the southern part. for the
simple reason that he cannot thrive
here for lack Of winter quarters. No,
do not expect TO see 20-ccrts cotton
aCain until after the next crop is gir-
ned. Neither do | expect II 70 reach
a skyhigh price again, for the reason
the mills have the capital TO afford 4
shut down rather than buy cotton at
. high price. Also the mills do not
have 10 rely on their operation for
their bread and butter. They have
othe. capital invested which brings
them q revenue while the mills stand
in idlcncss. This is whore the farmer
is pulling both ends Of the singletree."
