County farm demonstrator, returned Friday night from a trip through South Carolina, where he went with a number of oth er farm demonstrators to study the boll weevil and methods of combatt ing him. Mr. Dukes visited Charles ton, Colleton, Jasper, Allendale, Hampton, Calhoun, Orangeburg and Darlington counties- He found the weevil in all these counties except Darlington. In Charleston and Jas per counties the weevil has reduced the crop this year at least one-half, according to Mr. Dukes. The weevil first appeared in these counties in 1917. The weevil appeared in Calhoun and Orangeburg counties last year and has damaged the cotton crop in these considerably his year. The wet weather is just suiting the weevil, Mr. Dukes says. . In some of the sections visitd by Mr. Dukes the farmers are spraying the cottpn with calcium arsenate and this is proving worth-while, Mr. Dukes says he feels sure that the weevil will invade Robeson Jn the near future, but' probably noil so early as has been 1 forecast 'by the Department of Agriculture. He does not fear any damage in the county this year. CARRIED BACK tO CAMP. Mr. Herbert L.
