WEEVIL FURNISHES
FOREIGN GROWERS OF
COTTON GOOD WEAPON
Brazil Ready and Anxious
to Assume Lead in
ssa. Industry.

New York, March 0.-amcrica
cotton crops not only are being rum
cd by the boil weevil, but the pest
is being used by foreign competitors
as n weapon against the country
supremacy in the industry, DIR. An
drew Soule, president of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture and Nc
chauical Arts, declared in state
ment last night. He warned that un-
less the business men of the nation
took action to remove the menace OF
crop destruction. it would be too late
TO relieve the threatening situation.
DIR. Soule. one Of the leading agrl'
cultural EXPERTS of the South. assert
cd that Georgia, which ranks next
TO Texas in cotton production. mas Il
potential yearly output of S30O,OOo'-
900 worth of cotton, but In the laSC
three years this has been reduced 10
$50. 0O0,0 900 a year. Failure TO con-
troll the ravages of the boil weevll,
he said, was responsible.
"To us it has been a mystery why
big business men, who must see that
this is a NATIONAL problem, have re-
NAMED rather apathetic in the face
OF such big losses" DIR. Soule said.
If S150,OO0,O00 were lost in one
wear by another industry in one state,
there would be n tendency to rush to
the rescue of the producers TINS
hit so hard"
DIR. Soule recently returned from
Brazil, where he attend the World
Cotton Conference, and had ample
opportunity, he asserted, to mote the
British method of winning the .'ant-
ers there"
"They are out to switch the cot
ton center of the world from Amer
lea" he declared. "a fair example
of this propaganda was found in an
address by the secretary of the Brit
ish Spinners' Association, who SAID,
in effect:
The bankers, business men and
farmers of America are now endeavor-
ing to get the country to restrict the
output of cotton and raise the price
to a prohibitive degree. Brazil GER
tainly should undertake to cultivate
cotton, because the boil weevil has
had the effect of removing the United
States as future factor in the world
cotton trade
Brazil has 100000 square miles
of tillable soil now ready for cotton
raising and abundant labor that conld
be quickly trained, DR.. Soule said
"And," he concluded, "there is 4
signal warning in this experience OF
mine. The boil weevil not only Is
eating up our crops, but is being used
outside the country as a weapon
against us. Our only salvation is to
eradicate the boil weevil."
