! chimes and $11.75 per cent for the
poison.
Farmer who can and wish 10
pay cash for their machines and poi
son are invited by the committee to
benefit through its mass purchas-
ing Of these materials. But no
worthy farmer in Sumter county is
to be deprived of these materials
because Of his inability to pay cash.
Credit arrangements sufficient to
supply these to every farmer have
been consummated, and are ready
to be put into effect just as soon
as the materials arrive.
Applications are invited by the
committee now, and if farmers gem
orally will poison their cotton plants
thoroughly and now, Sumter's cot
ton yield this fall will again reach
normal.
"The Steering committee wants
every farmer to make his own fl
nancial arrangements first, but the
community prosperity is para
mount consideration in this cam
paign, and there must be no sus-
pension of activities. Hence, farm
ers who wish to secure poison and
busting machines and have no.
banking credits should file immed-
late application with its committee
for such supplies as they anticipate
needing.
"All such farmers wall be re-
CURED to furnish the committee
with definite information concern
ing their farming activities, en-
bracing the following specific in
uiries:
How many acres are you plant
ing to cotton?"
How many acres of cotton are
you planning to cultivate to the
plow?
How many existing liens IF
any exist against your crop, and
the nature Of these liens?'
With this information in hand
the committee, after making its
own Investigations, is prepared to
supply the necessary poison and ma
chinery for its APPLICATION. TIE
committee wants the cooperation
of every community in this effort
to increase cotton production here,
and to this end the educational
campaign now under way is to be
pushed vigorously throughout die
cotton growing season.
Every farmer who uses calcium
arsenic land this should embrace
every farmer in the county, should
use the poison along scientific lines,
and if they viii do this, as the
Steering committee will make cas-
lily possible, the success Of the crop
here this fall is assured beyond
peradventure Of doubt"
| The Times-Recorder is gratified
at the splendid response given its
appeal to attend last nights meet
ing by citizens and buiness men
generally, and this paper feels onat
substantial progress in the cam
paign has been made as a result Of
this gathering. Speaking of the
newspapers part in the anti-weevil
campaign, Judge Hixon, speaking
for the Steering committee, sale
today:
THE Tines-Recorder is doing a
noble wolk in this camaign. The
paper has won its way into the
