Easy to Identify.
"It is no trouble to distinguish be-
tween a cotton square that has been
shed through normal conditions and
one which has been attacked by the
boil weevil," said Mr.. ]. II. Sutton of
Fort Mill township, Tuesday.
Mr.. Sutton was in Yorkville Tuesday
and made the remark in connection
with an inquiry as to crop conditions
over his way.
Eyes, 1t is simple enough, if you will
only observe. The square that has
been shed under normal conditions is
always closed ut the end, and the
square that the boil weevil has caused
to shed Is open. This, Of course, is
while they are reasonably fresh. A
square that has been shed normally
will open at the end as the process OF
withering progresses. But with little
practice there is no reason why any
one should make mistake"

Wednesday; but from what Mr.. Tom
Brandon told me not long ago, feel
more encouraged
"Mr. Brandon is n demonstrat on
agent With about six years boil weeVil
experience. He knows about as much
about the weevil as the next one, hav-
ing seen it clean up the crops in Bam-
berg and surrounding counties. After
making careful investigation of our
fields around McConnellsville, he told
us that we had the weevil all right;
but not nearly so much. of it as we
thought, and if it did not get worse
than it is, we have not great deal TO
fear But he did not fail to caution US
that it can very easily get great deal
worse. He did not recommend the use
CT sweet poison. In fact, from what he
said, was led to conclude that he does
not think it any good. l am figuring
on getting a gun for the use of dry
poison, however--a busting gun"
