across, especially after they under
stand that If they do not make any
cotton they do not have to pay any
thing.
There are good many people who
have been promising to sign; but who
have been putting us off. Why they dc
it don't know.
We've been getting many signers
all around except in Bethel and in the
Neely Creek country, and l can't un-
derstand it. There are many prosper
GUS, intelligent farmers in both sec
tions, and why they, Of all Others
should hold back in proposition like
this is beyond explanation.
"But I am still hoping that all OF
them will come across with the others,
and put York county over the top"
Must Pick Up the Squares.
Spent a while with Mr.. ]. S. Glass
cock, near Harmony, few days ago.
Mr.. Glasscock has been in bad health
for some time past; but seemed much
better than 1 expected to find him. He
is able to walk about in good weather
and is glad to talk to his friends when
they call to see him, and he has lots Of
them.
About eight acres to the plow is
what have been telling my hands, and
If they do not keep the boil weevil kill
ed cotton squares picked up until the
first of August, no supplies after that
date-not even a pint Of meal. I tell
you it Is big risk anyway. am thor
oughly familiar with what the boil
weevil did down in Sumter county last
year. Year before last 1t was just
about like it was in York county last
year, and last year they did not make
two bales where they should have
made ten. There is no hope of making
anything unless they pick up and de-
stroy the shed squares, and so far as
nv places are concerned that's got to
be DONE"
Warning to Farmers
From Beaufort county where the
boil weevil has already destroyed the
cotton growing industry comes the
warning to York county farmers to
watch out this year. Mr.. H. H. Lake,
well known citizen of Beaufort, writes
Views and Interviews: 81 hope the
people Of your section will not make
the mistake that many sections have
done in planting a tremendous cotton
crop on the first arrival of the boil
weevil. If they do under normal con-
dition there will be a great many who
would like to make a change at the
end of the year: but most of them
will find that their financial condi-
ton will not allow them to do so.'
That the truck growers down state
have begun shipping vegetables and
selling them north and east at good
prices is indicated in Mr.. Lakes let
ter when he says: "The outlook for
this section is extremely promising.
Several hundred cars of lettuce have
been moved from this section at a
good profit. Indications are that the
crops generally will be good and sell
at a good price"
49,, Confident State Will Go Over.
81 am quite confident that with the
united effort of agricultural leaders
and farmers that South Carolina will
go over the top in getting its quota
of 1000 bales of cotton signed up for
the South Carolina Cooperative Cot
ton Growers Marketing association"
declared DIR. Clarance Poe, editor of
the Progressive Farmer in discussing
the present campaign Of the cotton
growers with Views and Interviews
Friday afternoon. 1--WE didn't have q
great deal Of trouble in getting our
quota in North Carolina" said DR..
Poe, "after the farmers began to un-
derstand the plan. 1t was q little
hard to get started and of course
there were those to predict that 1t
would never be done. l feel sure that
South Carolina will be equally sue
cessful" DR.. Poe who Is a practical
as we'll as book farmer" was the
first man in North Carolina to sign a
contract TO market his cotton crop
through the cooperative marketing
plan. He left Yorkville Friday after
