mendous handicap and it is going to
require abnormal weather to produce
normal wcevil damage. No man is
justified in gambling on such luck,
and the only sane course to pursue is
to anticipate year of great abun-
dance of boil weevils and to make all
plans accordingly. Everyone who has
raised few cotton crops with the
weevil cuts down the acreage he can
handle per plowa and still make a
crop. Furthermore, the more abun-
dant the weevils are, the less acre
age he can handle successfully and
certainly with the present prospects
the acreage per plow for 1922 should
be reduced to an absolute minimum if
the farmer is to experience any
safety whatever.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1922-02-22

From these figures it is seen that
we have far more live weevils per ton
of moss in sight now than at any time
since these records were started and
only very few dead weevils. Of
course the records on the presence of
dead wcevils cannot be accepted as
to accurate because it has been found
that many dead weevils fall out of
the moss during the winter and are
thus lost. The most striking feature,
however, is the fact that the records
for this year show more than five time
as many live weevils in Information
as in the highest preceding year
since 1915. These records are check
ed in other ways, among the different
methods being series Of cages To-
Gated near Tallulah, Louisiana which
are installed with known number of
live weevils each fall, different types
Of shelter provided and the survival
of weevils in these cages determined
in the spring. We have just COM
plcted an examination of this series
Of cages and find that these figures
verify those quoted in the moss ex-
aminations, and show the percentage
of survival to date to be much higher
than in past years.
In considering the significance of
these findings, it should be remember
ed that while they mean very abnor-
mally heavy emergence Of over-wint-
tered weevils in the coming spring,
tn 10 not necessarily mean that the
wee> damage this season will be un-
usually great, since it is possible that
summer weather conditions may be
sufficiently mfavorable to the weevils
to offset this heavy, early infestation,
but the fact remains that the farmers
will start the cotton crop under tre-

BOIL WEEVILS WILL
Be THICK IN 1922
(By B. r. Coad)

Cotton farmers are now busy argu-
ing pro and con the advisability of re-
ducing or increasing the cotton acre
age for 1922, but in the numerous
arguments quoted we seldom see any
mention made of one of the most i'm
portant factors which should have a
very positive influence on the cotton
program for the coming season. This
Is the prospect of boil weevil abun-
dance. For quite number of years
the Delta Laboratory of the Bureau
Of Entomology, u. S. Department of
Agriculture has been making series
of studies each season to serve as a
basis for predictions regarding the
severity of spring infestation of boil
weevils. The records for 1922 have
just been completed and for compari-
son with these we have similar re-
cords for the past eight years.

ing from Information each spring de-

fall the majority Of the cotton belt

unusually large number of weevils to

weather has passed althoug hthere is
Of course still a bare chance Of tenn

a number of different ways but the
most comparable criterion is the fig

ROAD BUILDING GROWN TO
BIG NATIONAL INDUSTRY

Road building is one Of the Nations
largest industries, according to stat
istics compiled by the Bureau of Pub
lice Roads, United States Department
of Agriculture, and surpasses such
great industries as the manufacture
of steel and iron as we'll as the pro-
duction, sale, and repair of automo-
biles. In December, 1920, less than
100000 men were employed in the
steel and iron industry 1t is esti-
mated that last year something like
100000 men were engaged in making
selling, and repairing automobiles.
AS compared with this an army of ap-
prOXimately 100000 men labored
last year throughout the road-con-
struction season in building and re-
pairing the country's highways.
Fifty million tons of stone and
gravel will be required by the $4,000
miles of Fcderal-aid roads either COM
plcted or under construction in the
United States at the end of the pre-
sent fiscal year, according to the esti.
mates Of the Bureau Of Public Roads.
Some idea Of the quantity is given by
the fact that it is equal to million
carloads. If the material were piled
in one place in the form Of cube it
would be approximately 1000 feet in
each direction, or nearly twice as high
as the Washington Monument.

there are at least one hundred Repub-
licans who would have thought of u.s.
ing this money if they really believed
it had been saved, but it is like trying
to pay the grocery bill with money
that you found in dream. These
great savings are fictitious; they re-
suit from Juggling of figures and
remind one Of the prcstidgitator who
takes rabbit after rabbit from a hat
which never contained one. The Presi-
dent makes savings of millions upon
millions in the columns Of the news
papers while quietly sending up to
the Appropriations Committee re-
quests for the passage of more def
cheney bills for twice as many millions
as those "savcd." Another wear of
such economy will force new bond
issue.
Senator Lodge, close friend to the
President, went before the Massa-
chussctts Legislature the other night
and made statement which proves
him to Dc ignorant of the most impor-
tant operations Of the Government or
else guilty of falsifying the facts
There is no escape from this. Mr.
Byrnes of South Carolina rose in the
tn use and showed this to be true and
no Republican challenged his state
ments. Lodge said: "Since the pre-
sent Congress has been in they have
reduced the appropriations asked for
by the Departments from $5,337, ,0OO,-
600 to 81 428,000,000." Now the aver
age citizen, paying high taxes and
thinking the condition of the Treas
ury deplorable, would think the mil
lcnium had arrived and that the Re-
publicans are wizards of finance. That
statement would be accepted from
Lodge on the ground that he could
easily get the correct information,
and that a United States Senator
could not afford to falsify the facts.
But what are the facts? Mr.. Byrnes
held in his hand the official estimates
Of the Budget Bureau totaling $3,-
801 100000 and then called attention
to the fact that while only six of the
annual appropriation bills had been
acted upon by the House, those six
had already reached figure of $2,-
9O8,O0O,000. He showed that last
year the Republican Congress appro-
priated $3,771 ,9OO,514.O1, being about
$38,0O0,000 less than was asked for
this year, so that in reality the Adj
ministration was seeking more money
to run the Government instead Of less
In the last year before the war (1916)

Washington, d. c., Feb 21.-Mr.
Harding seems to feel that it is poll
tically expedient, if not necessary, to
provide a bonus for the soldiers. A
week ago he was hot-foot for it. I'M
mediately there appeared on the bull
lctin boards in the stock brokers'
board rooms in all the cities brief
wires fro mthe Wall Street section
telling how the great money interests
were getting together to prevent it.,
on the ground that it would necessi-
tate laying an additional burden of
taxation or the issuing of more bonds.
Then paid advertisements appeared in
the washington papers arguing
against the bonus proposition. I'M
mcdiately thereafter the President
came forth with statement that he
would not favor either additional tax
es or bond issue for the purpose,
whercupon the metropolitan press ex-
pressed the view that this mean an
end to the bonus, as there was no
other way left to raise the money.
But at this juncture Mr.. Byrnes of
South Carolina comes forward with a
proposition that should appeal to the
President and everyone else. 1t is
simply this: The Republican leaders
figure that it will take $350,000, 900
per year to pay the proposed bonus.
Chairman Madden Of the Appropria-
tions Committee says the Administra-
ton, through the new Budget system,
has saved 1857 100000 by cutting ap-
preparations. IF this is true, the prob
lcm is solved and everyone should be
happy. Now it remains to be seen if
the Administration can locate that
1857 100000 with sufficient definite
ness to lay hold of it and use it for
the bonus. But right there is where
the difficulty will begin. OF course
