@. 0. Moser in State.

&c. o. Moser, the secretary OF the
American Cotton Growers Exchange,
the group of oo-operatve selling
associations OF Texas, Oklahoma and
other States, met with the Organi-
zation committee of the Co-opera-
tive Association of this State re-
GENTLY in Columbia. '
INIT. MOser reported THAT Texans
were delighted with the selling sys-
tenn in Texas-farmers, bankers,
merchants and all - because the
members Of the asso oiation were re-
ceiving an average of $15 per bale
more for their cotton than we're out
siders. He stated that this could be
proven If any one doubted It.
North Carolina, he said. had Sc
lected their directors for their new
association, and that the very best
men In the State had been selected
by the members
Georgia, he said, was making good
headway IN her campaign. In this
State good progress Is reported, Dar-
iington county still beading with q
total of over 1900 bales signed.
Dillon comes second with over 5000
bales. Pickens county Is starting the
campaign.
Tho man who opposes co-opera-
tive marketing has not given proper
thought to the proposition, or else
his Judgment Is biased.
1t is possible that Mr. .Moser may
be secured for countrywide meet
ing soon. Geo. r. Briggs,

.},. Shall I Poison Weevils? :
Due to much newspaper publicity
Regarding the poisoning OF boil vice.
wills In TEXAS, some farmers aure con-
|sidering the 9dvisaIbiltty of poison
ing In 1922. When the winter is
over we shall get more specific in
formation from Prof. Conrad, the
lState iEntOnlologi9a. who is thor
Oughly acquainted with the factors
which mako for success or failure
in poisoning. In a statement in a
Greenvllle paper recently, Prof Con-
radi is quoted as saying that poison
ing may not be advised at all in this
section next season.
Poisoning with calcium arsenate
is a very tedious business, and there
arc many things which may hinder
success. especially summer showers,
according to first-hand information
obtained from the man who con-
Quoted the poison tests in the lower
part of this State last year Farm
ers should go slow" advises Prof.
Conradi, 'in attempting to poison. :"
A bulleein has been Issued on the
subject for all who care to study It.
It must be borne in mind at all
times that all information cleaned
from Texas must be subjected to the
South Carolina conditions; that our
summer RAINFALL and our soil fertil-
ity and type are very different from
usual conditions in Texas. Poisoning
on the large, open fields OF Texas,
where most soils are fertile and lit
tie fertilizer Is bought, and where
the summer rainfall Is usually not
near SO much, is a different PROPOSE
ton.
