HOW TO WHIP THE
BOLL WEEVIL
By a Man Who Has Done It.—Eight
to Twelve Bales I’er Plow Still
Possible.
Mr. W. C. Bradley, who describes be
low he successfully copes with the
boll weevil is not only one of the
south’s largest cotton planters but also
one of its business and financial lead
ers.
His words' will be of interest not
only to the farmers themselves but to
everyone who has the general prosper
ity of the South at heart.
Here's how:
“Beginning April Ist, during April
and May, we pay for each boll weevil
picked from cotton on all our places,
5c each; during June we pay 2U>c each,
and lc each during July. We make set
tlements on Saturday of each week,
just as we do other pay rolls.
In addition to this we require all
tenants to pick up and destroy all
punctured squares.
The amounts we pay our tenants for
the boll weevil is charged to their re
spective accounts and collected for at
the end of the year, just as we do oth
er advances.
We have adopted a cotton that does
not make a large foliage; our expe
rience being that the hot sun is the
weevil’s most effective enemy, and that
they will multiply rapidly when shaded
•mil during rainy weather.
We also use some good boll weevil
machine, and also powdered calcium
arsenic. However, this is rather ex
pensive to apply and we doubt it be
ing a good commercial proposition
when cotton sells below 20c per pound.
We have made an average of 8 bales
per plow on all our river places tlie
present year, and several of our ten
ants made 12 to 14 bales per plow.
I am convinced that cotton cannot
lie grown under boll weevil conditions
unless a persistent fight against them
is made, commencing with April each
year. Ido not believe they can tie suc
cessfully fought after August Ist, but
within this period a good crop can be
made.”

Some Aspects of the
Farmers’ Problems
By BERNARD M. BARUCH
(Reprinted from Atlantic Monthly)
The whole rural world Is in a fer
ment of unrest, and there is an un
paralleled volume and intensity of de
termined, if not angry, protest, and an
ominous swarming of occupational con
ferences, Interest groupings, political
movements and propaganda. Such a
turmoil cannot but arrest our atten
tion. Indeed, It demands our careful
study and examination. It Is not like
ly that six million aloof and ruggedly
Independent men have come together
and banded themselves Into active
unions, societies, farm bureaus, and so
forth, for no sufficient cause.
Investigation of the subject conelu
sively proves that, while there is much
overstatement of grievances and mis
conception of remedies, the farmers
are right in complaining of wrongs
long endured, and rigid in holding that
it is feasible to relieve their ills with
benefit to tlie rest of the community.
This being the case of tin industry
that contributes, in the raw material
form alone, about one-third of the na
tionnl annual wealth production and
is the means of livelihood of about 41
per cent of the population, it is oh
vious that the subject is one of grave
concern. Not only do the farmers
make up one-half of the nation, bul
the well-being of the other Half de
pends upon them.
So long as we have nations, a wise
poHteial economy will aim at a large
degree of national self-sufficiency and
seif-containment. Rome fell when the
food supply was too far removed from
the belly. Like her, we shall destroy
our own agriculture and extend our
sources of food distantly and precari
ously, if we do not see to it that our
farmers are \yell and fairly paid for
their services/ The farm gives the
nation men as well as food. Cities
derive their vitality and are forever
renewed from the country, but an im
poverished countryside exports intelli
gence and retains unintelligence.
Only the lower grades of mentality
and character will remain on, or seek,
the farm, unless agriculture is capable
of being pursued with contentment and
adequate compensation. Hence, to em
bitter and impoverish the farmer is to
dry up and contaminate the vital
sources of the nation.
The war showed convincingly how
dependent the nation is on the full
productivity of the farms. Despite
herculean efforts, agricultural produc
tion kept only a few weeks or months
ahead of consumption, and that only
by increasing the acreage of certaiD
staple crops at ttie cost of reducing
that of others. We ought not to for
get that lesson when we ponder on
the farmer’s problems. They are truly
common problems, and there should
be no attempt to deal with them as
if they were purely selfish demands
of a clear-cut group, antagonistic to
the rest of the community. Rather
should we consider agriculture in tlie
light of broad national policy, Just
as we consider oil, coal, steel, dye
stuffs, and so forth, as sinews of na
tional strength. Our growing popula
tion and a higher standard of living
demand increasing food supplies, and
more wool, cotton, hides, and the rest.
With the disappearance of free or
cheap fertile land, additional acreage
and increased yields can come only
from costly effort. This we need not
expect from an impoverished or un
happy rural population.
It will not do to take a narrow view
of the rural discontent, or to appraise
it from the standpoint of yesterday.
This is peculiarly an age of flux and
change and new deals. Because a
thing always has been so no longer
means that it is righteous, or always
shall be so. More, perhaps, than ever
.before, there is a widespread feeling
that all human relations can lie Im
proved by taking thought, and that it
is not becoming for the reasoning uni
mal to leave Ids destiny lurgely to
chance and natural incidence.
Prudent and orderly adjustment ol
production and distribution in accord
ance with consumption is recognized
as wise management in every business
but that of farming. Yet, I venture
to say, there is no other industry in
which it is so important to the pub
lie —to the city-dweller —that produc
tion should be sure, steady, and in
creasing, and that distribution should
he in proportion to the need. The un
organized farmers naturally act blind
ly and impulsively and, In conse
quence, surfeit and dearth, accompa
nied by disconcerting price-variations,
harass the consumer. One year pota
toes rot in the fields because of excess
production, and there is a scarcity ol
the tilings that have been displaced
to make way for the expansion of the
potato acreage; next year the punish
ed farmers mass their fields on some
other crop, and potatoes enter the
class of luxuries; and so on.
Agriculture is the greatest and fun
damentally the most important of our
American industries. The cities are
but the branches of the tree of na
tional life, the roots of which go deep
ly into the land. We all flourish or
decline with the farmer. So, when we
of the cities read of the present uni
versal distress of the farmers, of a
slump of six billion dollars In the farm
.value of their crops In a single year.
THE WINDER NEWS
of their inability to meet mortgages or
to pay current bills, and how, seeking
relief from their ills, they are plan
ning to form pools, inaugurate farm
ers’ strikes, and demand legislation
abolishing grain exchanges, private
cattle markets, and the like, we ought
not hastily to brand them as economic
heretics and highwaymen, und hurl at
them the charge of being seekers of
special privilege. Bather, we should
ask If their trouble is not ours, and
see what can he done to improve the
situation. Purely from self-interest,
if for no higher motive, we should
help them. All of us want to get back
permanently to "normalcybut is it
reasonable to hope for that condition
unless our greatest and most basic in
dustry can be put on a sound and solid
permanent foundation? The furmers
are not entitled to special privileges;
but are they not right in demanding
that they be placed on an equal foot
ing with the buyers of their products
and with other industries?
II
Let us, then, consider some of the
farmer’s grievances, and see how far
they are real. In doing so, we should
remember that, while there have been,
and still are, instances of purposeful
abuse, the subject should not be ap
proached with any general imputation
to existing distributive agencies of de
liberately intentional oppression, but
rather with the conception that the
marketing of farm products has not
been modernized.
An ancient evil, and a persistent
one, is the undergrnding of farm prod
ucts, with .the result that what the
farmers sell as of one quality is re
sold as of a higher. That this sort of
chicanery should persist on any im
portant scale in these days of busi
ness Integrity would seem almost in
credible, but there is much evidence
that it does so persist. Even as 1
write, the newspapers announce the
suspension of several firms from the
New York Produce Exchange for ex
porting to Germany as No. 2 wheat a
whole shipload of grossly inferior wheat
I mixed with oats, chaff and the like.
Another evil is that of inaccurate
weighing of farm products, which, it
Is charged, is sometimes a matter of
dishonest intentio.M and sometimes of
protective policy on the part of the
local buyer, who fears that he may
“weigh out” more than he “weighs in.”
A greater grievance is that at pres
ent the field farmer has little or no
control over the time and conditions
of marketing his products, with the
result that he is often underpaid for
his products and usually overcharged
for marketing service. The differ
ence between what the farmer re
ceives and what the consumer pays
often exceeds all possibility of justi
fication. To cite a single illustration.
Last year, according to figures attest
ed by the railways and the growers,
Georgia watermelon-raisers received
on the average 7.5 cents for a melon,
the railroads got 12.7 cents for carry
ing it to Baltimore and the consumer
paid one dollar, leaving 79.8 cents for
the service of marketing and its risks,
us against 20.2 cents for growing and
transporting. The hard annals of
farm-life are replete with such com
mentaries on tlie crudeness of pres
ent practices.
Nature prescribes that the farmer’s
“goods" must be finished within two
or three months of the year, while
financial and storage limitations gen
erally compel him to sell them at the
same time. Asa rule, other industries
are in a continuous process of finish
ing goods for the markets; they dis
tribute as they produce, and they can
curtail production without too great
injury to themsefVes or the commu
nity; but if the farmer restricts his
output, it Is with disastrous conse
quences, both to himself and to the
community.
The average farmer is busy with
production for tfie major part of the
year, and has nothing to sell. The
bulk of his output comes on the mar
ket at once. Because of lack of stor
age facilities and of financial support,
tiie farmer cannot carry his goods
througli the year and dispose of them
as they are currently needed. In the
great majority of cases, farmers have
to entrust storage—in warehouses and
elevators —and the financial carrying
of their products to others.
Farm products are generally mar
keted at a time when there is a con
gestion of both transportation and
finance—when cars and money are
scarce. „ The outcome. In many in
stances, Is that the farmers not only
sell under pressure, and therefore at
a disadvantage, but are compelled to
take further reductions In net returns,
In order to meet the charges for the
service of storing, transporting, financ
ing, and ultimate marketing—which
charges they claim, are often exces
sive, bpar heavily on both consumer
and producer, and are under the con
trol of those performing the services.
It is true that they are relieved of
the risks of a changing market by
selling at once; but they are quite wtll-
