To Experiment at Florence.

Washington, Nov. 18.-The gov
ernment will establish a cooperative
holl weevil experimental station at
Florence, S. c., which, it is contem-
plated, will deal specifically with
conditions in the South Atlantic and
Gulf states, as the station at Tallu-
lah, La, deals with conditions in
Louisiana and Texas.
Announcement to this effect was
made this evening, following con-
ference between w. M. Riggs, presi-
dent of Clemson college, and the sec-
retary of agriculture, with L. o.
Howard, chief of the bureau of en-
tomology, and E. D. Ball, director
of agricultural research, department
of agriculture, also participating.
The new station will be organized
by the transference of experts and
equipment from the Tallulah station.
1t will have access to the laboratories
of Clemson college and will be op-
Grated in conjunction with the Pee
Dee station of that college, located
at Florence.
DR.. Riggs said tonight that the
plans for the department constituted
''big" news for the entire South, in
asmuch as it is recognized that the
weevil imposes a financial loss on
the cotton producer of approximate
ly s50o,ooO,ooO per annum. He ex-
planned that all theories relating to
boil weevil extinction and all meth
DDS in vogue, including those parti-
ally successful and those which have
mot been thoroughly tried, would be
elaborated and subjected to the most
trying tests.
DR.. Riggs. declared that govern
ment experts are keenly alive to the
menace to the South represented by
the, boil weevil and are hopeful that
as a result of extensive investiga-
tions, both in Tallulah and Florence,
a perfect boil weevil remedy will be
evolved.

man and Franklin Nickles drove out
to Lethe and brought 100 in to the
show.
George Jones got to Lethe and put
13 of the youngsters in his car, and
fifteen of the little boys were about
to be left. There were many heart
aches and patient. waiting, when
Franklin Nickles drove up, almost
like picture show, and piled the
fifteen youngsters in his car and all
was happiness. There was left at the
school eight of the young boys whose
duty it is to milk and do the night
work. These boys are going to come
in next Saturday for the pictures,
and Mr.. Verchot will put on an ex.
ira comedy reel for their special
benefit.
Mr.. Verchot, and those able to
furnish cars and transportation are
due the thanks of the community for
their kindness. 1t is worth
more than gold to be possessed of
an understanding heart.
The children occupied front seats
at the show. They enjoyed it. Two
little girls about eight years of age
occupied the same seat, the younger
leaving her own opera chair and sit
ting in close with the older girl. With
arms about each other, they were
wrapped up in the show, and laugh
ed low and continuously as the show
progressed. The laugh seemed half
glee and half excitement.

MUCH PRAISE FOR
PORT TERMINALS
SUITABILITY AS TOBACCO PORT
ARE NATURALIZATION
is MADE OF QUANTITIES. OF
LEAF BEING STORED IN CHAR.
LESION FOR SHIPMENT.

Washington, Nov. 19.-In furrh-
erance of the movement to increase
the growth of Charleston as to-
bacco port, mentioned previously
in this correspondence, Senator E.
D.. Smith has obtained an extremely
favorable report from experts OF
high standing on the suitability Of
the Charleston Fort Terminal
warehouse for storing this impot-
tant staple. rta...
The expert verdict praise the
construction of the great ware
house building, going into details
with regard to its advantages as
ventilation, roofing, flooring, fire.
protection, etc. Reference is made
to the fact that large quantities
of tobacco in hogsheads have been
stored in the warehouse at previ-
Gus times without damage, and
that a. quantity of the present crop
is being stored there with no evi-
.dence of depreciation or infesta-
tion.
1t is found by the exports that
the building has special adapability
for tobacco-sporage, because the
construction is such as to render
proper ventilation and fumigation
easy. Nothing has developed thus
far in the use of this warehouse
to justify the impression which
has prevailed in some quarters that
it is not safe to leave tobacco in
storage for. long periods in this
section because of the tobacco
beetle. Much of this impression has
been due, no doubt, to unsatisfac'
tory experiences with warehouses
unscientiically built and to i'm.
proper methods of storing ane
safeguarding the stock. The ter
minals warehouse lends itself easily
to the most up-to-date and effective
methods.
AS has been said previously, the
hope is that the Carolina Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association
will utilize the facilities of Charles
ton for tobacco storage more anc
more extensively as the high quail
ity and security of these facilitie!
becomes known. Such recognition
would give great impetus to thu
rise of Charleston as port for tht
shipment Of the staple in large quar-
titles to foreign countries, Abund
ance of suitable storage room i!
essential to port growth Many port
otherwise qualified lack this requis
ite. To make the products and ship
pers of the State and section real
ize the remarkable opportunity
they have in the port facilities o'
Charleston is the principal task be
fore those who are trying to de-
velop Carolina commerce.
