BOLL WEEVIL IS
WORKING INJURY
TO COTTON CROP
COME HERE FOR RIDE;
TREK DECIDED ID WED
The boll weevil has invaded Sumter
county and, in the words of W. J.
Boyett, the county demonstration
agent, “have taken possession of the
top crop all over the county."
“In some places," reports Mr. Boy
ett, “the weevils are puncturing some
of the half-grown bolls, but where the
cotton is still growing the bolls are
safe yet."
An estimate of 25,000 hales Is made
on the Sumter cotton crop this year,
but whether this amount wijl be re
duced by the ravages of the weevil is
hard to tell just now. At any rate, the
farmers are alarmed over the increase
of the pest, and even more ap
prehensive as to what will be the con

Mr. Boyett's monthly statement
shows that during August he was very
active in the work of his department.
His report reads as follows:
‘‘During this month I have made
94 visits to farmers and 19 to corn
club members. Have written 45 per
sonal letters and sent out 800 circu
lar letters.
“Have made arsenical solutions and
charged two dipping vats. Havce inoc
ulated 120 hogs and placed another
syringe in the hands of a farmer.
“Have held 39 consultations in office
and over phone with farmers in regard
to various activities.
“Have held one farmers’ institute
with an attendance of approximately
200 at which conservation was the
principal feature.
“The speakers at this meeting were:
C. B. Burley, boll wfeevil specialisti
R. M. Gridley, live stock specialist; J
E. Downing, state pig club a?ent; W.
O. Collins, from the State College of
Agriculture, and Miss Rowena Long,
homo economics agent for Sumter
county.

of the top crop all over the county and
in some places are puncturing some
