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 dition next year. 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.
