SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE ASb TELEGRAPH company HARRIS, /tansiger, Badnbridge, G&. To those people who think that the boll weevil isn’t coming to this section and the weevil isn’t going to play havoc with business men here, a letter from Yazoo county, Mississippi, which is published herewith, may prove interesting. According to this letter, which is from Mr. R. H Douthat, sec retary of the Yazoo Commercial Club, in answer to a letter from Mr. R. L. Saville, of Dawson, some people in Yazoo county thought that the boll weevil would not visit them, but have awakened and are becoming prosperious by raising hogs and cattle and practicing diversified farming. The whole system of doing business in that section has been changed, a cash basis prevailing where the old credit system was in force. Some ot the farmers in Yazoo county didn’t make enough the first year the weevil hit them to pay interest on their fertilizer bills. The letter is so full ot good pointers to the farmers of this section that it is published in full herewith. It follows: “Mr. R. L. Saville, Dawson, Ga. Dear Sir— “I have your letter of the fifteenth inst., regarding the boll weevil proposition in this territory, and feel that I would like very much to speak some work of encouragement, but the measure of success to be met by your people so much de pends upon the people them selves that I would like very much to speak some word of en couragement, but the measure of success to be met by your people so much depends upon the people that I do not feel that I could offer advice upon the subject. I will therefore con fine myself entirely to our ex perience. The boll weevil invaded our county in the fall of 1910 and for at least three years our people were in desperate straits. All business, except the banking business suffered very much in the way of earnings. (I don’t remember any bank here which passed the usual dividend.) And the other lines of bsiness were conducted at a loss for that time. “The farmers lost heart and many were in the instances where the farmer last his land by foreclosure. Many of them were unable to pay the interest on money borrowed to make the crop. I cannot say that I could point you to a single instance where a whole community has entirely recovered normal busi ness conditions. “The entire plan of doing busi ness in this territory has chang ed from a credit basis to prati- cally a cash basis. “The one crop system (cotton) was responsible for our failure to meet the condition presented, and profiting by the experience of other counties infested by the weevil, we set about to correct the defect. This was done by encouraging the farmers to di versify their crops. We have met with a large measure of success in this plan and I can say frankly that our people are in better condition today than they have been since the invasion of the weevil. Grain and live stock have taken the place of cotton j and we are just now beginning! to reap the harvest from our ef-j forts in this line. Cattle and; hogs are being shipped to the, markets of the world at a hand some profits to our farmers, and of course other lines of busi ness are now freling the effect. “I don’t know whether or not you are so wedded to the one crop system as we were, but presume you are. If so, then the question of diversification would present so many proposi tions that it will require years of patient effort to educate your farmers to it. Every detail will have to be worked out, based upon local conditions and the result will be measured by the disposition of your people to take hold of the new methods. Our people were slow to take hold and I dare say that you are going to have the same trouble. Bear in mind that every man has an independent mind and must be convinced not by evid ence, but by being ground down by hard living conditions. “It seems that every commun ity must go though this rub for i have never heard of a single instance where a people would believe even one-half of what they hear about the weevil. They all believe that the Lord is going to pick them out as the favored few and allow them to make just one more crop of cotton, but I am here to tell you that he is not going to do it. He makes the rain to fall upon the unjust alike, and the same rule applies in the case of the boll weevil. “Wherever a cotton stalk will grow in the United States is suit- or a Full Tablespoon WHICH?

He will be more destructive the first three years than any time there after, but he will always be with you after he arrives. ‘The method employed to fight him in this county was first the employment by our county authorities of a thoroughly com petent government farm demon strator whose efforts have com pletely transformed farm condi tions and at last our farmers are going to his methods in earnest. We also employed an expert in tick eradication-and at last are permitted to ship our cattle to any market with the assurance of the top market prices. You cannot ship ticky cattle to any market, and if you go into the live stock business you must first get rid of your ticks. ‘ ‘Cattle and hogs are now be ing shipped from Yazoo county by carload lots and the money is in. Our bank deposits are now h : gher than they have been in the history of our country and I believe that if you will adopt the same plans as old Yazoo, your good people will eventually enjoy their old time prosperity. “In the meantime, I extend you and your people my sym pathy, and hope that they will not be so hardheaded as we were and which brought such wretch ed conditions upon us. You can avoid .it and I hope that you will. “Any other information I can give you will be gladly furnish ed.” Yours very truly, R. H. Douthat, Secretary.
