A COUNTY AGENT.

Our suggestion for the employ
nnent of county demonstration
agent in this county has met with
an enthusiastic response. Numbers
of farmers have approved the idea.
1t is believed generally that good
demonstration agent in the county
will help US to go ahead in the mat
ter Of crop diversifcation in this
county.
A meeting Of some of those inter-
ested in farming was held here yes
terday at which the delegation from
this county was requested to appro-
pirate as much as $3.50 for securing
the services Of a good agent for the
present year. That request will be
laid before the meeting Of farmers to
be held here next Wednesday and
they will be asked to take some &C.
tion in the matter. It is believed that
all the progressive farmers &C the
county are in favor of the employ.
ment of a good man for this work.
We all know that the times are
hard and that taxes are as certain
as they are hard to pay. But taxes
do not seem to grow less, and the
only way to meet them is to increase
our ability to pay, The amount sug.
gested will take about one-fourth Of
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1922-01-13

one mill. Each man who pays taxes
on one thousand dollars will pay fif-
teen cents towards the salary Of the
agent. and that is not much, that Is,
if good is to be accomplished by his
employment. The county demonstra-
ton agent is not a highly paid Of
fetal. He is required to own a car
and operate it at his own expense.
This costs about $3.50 year, count
up-keep, depreciation and running
expenses. He receives $500 from the
state and federal government, and
thus an agent in this county, if we
appropriate $3.50 would receive In
all S2750. Deducting the $3.50 for
car expenses he you'd receive a sal
ary of $4,000. Considering that a
man to hold the position must be a
graduate of an agricultural college,
and must spend good deal Of mon
ey on account of travelling around
he county and elsewhere, it is evil
dent that the salary is not large.
We dislike to advocate the pay
ment of any amount which will be a
burden on the people, and it is a
time to practice economy in matters
of necessity, but we believe that a
poor agent is the worst kind of econ
omy, and if we are to have an agent
here at all, we had better make such
an appropriation as will secure the
services Of a good man. Such an
agent cannot be secured for less than
the amount suggested we believe.
We have not talked with the men,
bers of the delegation from this
county. But we do not believe they
are self-opinionated about the mat
ter. This being matter for which the
people at large must pay, they would
likely be interested to know the
views of the people of the county.
It might be well, therefore, for the
farmers in different parts of the
county to write Senator Moore, or
representatives Putnam and Cox, in
care of the Senate or House, at Co
lumbia, giving their views on this
matter. " I'D
OF one thing however the people
should be advised. If county DEM
onstration agent is to be employed
and if he is to do satisfactory work
the present year, he should be en-
ployed at once, so that he may get
here and get down to work before
the farming season opens. .. ..

Of taking up the work suggested.
There are now 1900, enlisted men;
in the air service, and over 500 ca
det}fyers usually under training. Out
of this large force there should be
little difficulty in getting the few
score pilots that would be required
for the system Of flying fields that
would make up the experiment over
the entire cotton belt. ii$Sa
1T is estimated that one airplane
would be able, if stationed IN its own
theatre Of work permanently, to-
spray 500 to 1000 acres q day and
limited by physical conditions Of,
weather and wind, could be effective
in an area of 80, 900 to loo, 900 acres.

the cotton boil weevil. There are
many details that stand in the way
of such an effort. In the first place
spraying for the boil weevil is done
in the night, when the dew has gath
cred on the plant and the insect in
taking a drink gets the poison into
his pantry At first the field men of
the department said the idea of u.s.
ing the airplane for spraying cotton
could not be made to work because of
this condition. But the army air ser
vice men at once said night flying un-
der the suggested conditions was
feasible.
"'We have men trained for just
this sort of flying said one officer
who took up the subject. We have
observation planes, bombing planes,
pursuit planes, all planned for night
work, and the service is full of men
who are equal to all that is called for
in this proposition
"The greater difficulties are likely
to come in organizing work of such
a peculiar liaison character between
the flight service and the field ex-
perts, the scientists who must study
out local conditions and the .commu-
mites Of planters. The general plan,
so far as it has been sketched out
thus far, proposes belt Of flight
stations distributed across the en-
tire length of the cotton belt. The
airplane assigned to cotton spray
work can move from one part of it's
special field under its own power and
carry q moderate load Of the poison
dust. Before the actual day Of spray
ing in any ONE community the field
agents are expected to organize over
the telephone, by means of newspap-
er notices, Post Office posters and the
liberal communicating Of 'fivver'
couriers. .Er l.f
obviously, the first trial Of spray
ing from the air must be experiment
tai. Itris hardly possible to estimate
in advance the cost of such work.
It might prove impracticable. Caleb

SPRAYING FROM AIR.

Some two weeks ago we said edit
orally that stranger things than the
fighting of boil weevils with airplanes
might happen. Before the people
hereabouts had quit smiling at the
suggestion, steps were being taken
to try the very experiment which we
suggested, as will be seen from q
reading of the following article TAX
Ell from The New York Times:
"The long fight with the cotton
boil weevil was nearing a crisis at
the close of last season. The little pi-
rate was almost at the top line of the
cotton zone, and apparently had the
conquest Of the former king Of our
commerce nearly in his grasp. Mil
lions on many millions had been
spent by the Government and the
planters to hold him back, only to
face failure year after year.
"But now the weeyil's days are
said to be numbered. A powerful ally
IS coming to the rescue. The weeyil
is to be fought by the airplane.
"The Committees on Agriculture
in House and Senate will this winter
take up and discuss an appropriation
for the purpose Of utilizing.the avail
able airplanes. of the army in expert
ments over wide area of test in
spraying calcium arsenate to poison
the weevil.
The department. of agriculture has
taken up the matter and the details
of the problem Of airplane spraying
are being examined in the light of
up-to-dste experience.
"The project Of airplane spraying
is based on single experiment con-

cess. On the farm of Harry A. Carver,
near Troy, in that State, was a fine
block of Catalpa bungei, one of the
familiar lawn trees, whose globe
shaped head with its dense shade of
aeart-shaped leaves, make it popular
and desirable. There were in the six.
acre block 5000 fine six-year old
trees, worth in the neighborhood OF
$4,000. Last June the catalpa
sphinx caterpillar suddenly fell on
this grove and within short time de-
foliated it. Machine spraying was
tried with only partial success. The
grove, however, rallied, and under
the favorable growing conditions Of
the season renewed its LEAKAGE only
to be again attacked by the worms
a second time in August.
"The problem appealed to ento-
,mologists generally in the State, al

the small planter can carry his patch
through a season with an expendi-
ture of not to exceed So an acre for
spraying. Usually, the trouble is he
does not have the $6 for the first
acre. - .,
"The work will have to be carried
on by the general government with,
out any attempt at dividing the work
with the planter. First Of all, the
spraying must be as general as pos
sible in every section. It would not
be necessary to use compulsion, as
was done in Texas, when the govern
ment and the State authorities join
ed to exterminate the pink cotton
boil worm, and planters were requir-
ed to suspend cotton farming and
were compensated for their loss from
the public treasury. It Is conceded
that all planters would gladly come
into any general spraying plan as
might be proposed for the use of air.
planes. By some it is urged that the
planters should themselves unite and
buy airplanes and conduct commune
ty spraying at their own expense.
This idea will not make much prog

through. The Government alone has

CROP DIvERSIFICATION.

We are all taking theSe Gays dpouL
crop diversifcation. We will not d.
versify, we fear, until We are forced
to do SO. But we will be thus forced.
And when we are we may profit by
the example Of Allendale.
We have heretofore had good
deal to say about the peanut indus
try in that county. This industry, ac-
eording to reports which come to US,
is now on firm footing. The first
year, it is said, the.people overdid the
work of planting peanuts, but the
past year a smaller acreage was
planted by each farmer and results
have been satisfactory. r.
Now Allendale is one of the new
counties of the state. It is in fact the
newest county in the state. It is also
the smallest, and it has less amount
of taxable property than any other
county in the state, it is said. Not
withstanding this Auendale County
the past year produced and shipped
the following:
SO cars of hogs, Of which % cars
were cooperative cars-that is more
than one person was interested in
each car; -.
$4,000 bushels Of OATS.
ia cars Of hay, (peanut, peavine
and velvet bean varieties;)
8 cars Of velvet beans;
1000 bushels of rye;
10000 Bushels of peas;
. 6 cars of Irish potatoes;
8 cars Of sweet potatoes.
2 cars of cabbage;
2 cars of beans;
10 cars of native cattle;
1900 cars of watermelons;
26 cars OF cucumberS; and
26 cars of cantaloupes.
That is the record from April 1st,
to sometime in December, we believe.
nee the last named date, other cars
of sweet potatoes have been shipped.
It is also known that a good deal Of
corn and other crops not mentioned
above have been shipped by private
parties, of which no record is kept.
Not a little of the progress made
in that county is due to the efforts
of one of the best county demon
stration agents in the state. He has
assumed a leadership which is indis,
pensable to progress. That progress,
engendered of such leadership, has
shown that the people in the smallest
and poorest county of the state can
make money and grow in prosperity
without growing cotton.
- What Allendale has done Abbeville
can do. Al, that we need is a spirit
of corporations a will to work, and
good leadership.
