700 of which are In cultivation, and

TO DEVELOP NEW COTTON.

Ira W. Williams, a special agent
o* the Department of Agriculture

experiments here In developing
variety of cotton to resist the boll

early that the boll weevils will not
have a chance at It. They claim
that at the present time the boll
weevils are devastating the fields
and that the future of sea Island
cotton depends very largely upon de
veloping a seed that will bring on
nn earlier crop.
Mr. Williams will have a p!e?o
of land on Mr. H. Y. Tillman's place
to carry on an experiment. He has
been making experiments of this
sort (n South Carolina and other
states and will also do the name
