THE WEEVIL DYING?
Two things are among the apparent
certainties in Southern agriculture.
One is that cotton can be grown In
great quantity deapite the boll weevil.
And the other is that, no matter if
the boll weevil canuot Btop cotton
growing in great quantity, the South
must never return to the all-cotton
system. The big thing that the South
must try for ln Its all its agriculture
is Independence, and it can get inde
pendence as easily as any other agri
cultural section in the world. It can
grow such a variety of things; It can
produce a thing which the world must
have and of which the South can al
most surely keep a monopoly; and
that thing is of such a nature that it
can be kept for months and years.
The one thing necessary to the hold
ing of cotton. In addition, of coarse to
physical things, such as warehouses,
Js the will to supply other crops that:
will keep the farmer going while the
cotton is being held.
Richard Spillane. writing In the
Philadelphia Public Ledger, asks is
the weevil on the decline, pointing out
that in parts of the cotton belt where
the pest has been longest it is doing
relatively the least damage, the In
being that in a year or two
overcome in Geor-
line, in their operations: That la,
grow all the cotton they can without
running to such an acreage that the
weevil will have so great a battlefield
that the farmer and his help
whipped; and to produce all the food
and feed that are needed in Georgia
besides. Cotton cannot be grown
the old days; certainly not next year.
The farmer has a fight on his hands,
which he can win if his acreage is not
too great and If he is willing
right on the job and see that the anti-
eevU fight Is persistent.
Maybe it Is not nature by herself
that Is fighting the pest, but the better
use of nature by cotton growers who
have used their heads. The longer the
weevil has been In a state the less
damage he does, relatively, which in
dicates that the cotton grower, and
not nature alone, has been learning
something. The suggestion that
re will kill off the weevil and make
disappear sometime in the future is
dangerous one; no attention should
be paid to it; the thing for the cotton

A DIFFICULT JOB
The ideal of every newspaper re
porter is to ascertain the facts. This,
in itself, is no small Job, but the temp-
follow trails that might lead to good
stories and yet be untrue or untruth
fully presented, is too well known to

That Is the way Thoaasvilte gets
It is so easy to abuse this profes
sion. It can't bo possible to always
get the facts, but the use of anything
else might be prejudicial and unfair
and therefore, the real reporter will
confine his deductions and reports to
acts alone. It he does full justice to
his subject and lives up to the highest
tents of his profession.
Many tributes have been paid these
men for their splendid work in many
lines. The reporter has an ear for
. news, but if he is trained to give only
news, he has attained the highest type
of reporting and will not be question-
; ed except in rare Instances, rogsrding
the propriety of making known facts,
when certain Interests or the authori
ties demand that they be suppressed.
The newspaper man's ear Is the most
sacred place that auch a secret could
be lodged, and their refusal to divulge
secrets obtained with a promise of
secrecy, has been generally credited
