Overview

Excerpt from Boll Weevil, 1921: Report of the South Carolina Boll Weevil Commission, Richard I, Manning, Chairman In July, 1915, a committee of trustees and Officials of Clemson College visited the boll-weevil section in order better to advise the farmers of this State in advance of the coming of the weevil to South Carolina. Their findings and recommendations were em bodied in a bulletin, several editions of which appeared during 1915 and 1916. In spite of war conditions and the high price of cotton during several of the intervening years, the warnings and advice contained in this timely bulletin have had much to do with preparing South Carolina for the inevitable infestation. Our people are not fully prepared, but are not wholly unprepared. Through the kindness of Senator N. B. Dial this bulletin is being reprinted as a Senate document. It has been found advisable to make some additions to the original manuscript in order to embody con elusions that have been reached. During the last three or four years. It is now put out in revised form with the hope that the good work it has accomplished thus far in preparing our people for the boll weevil will be continued until the struggle for adjustment and supremacy over the boll weevil is fully won.
