BOLL WEEVIL FiGHT
NOW ON IN CRISP
. By J. K, LUCK,
\ County Agent
In my visit to different ficlds of
cotton in all soctions of cur county
I ind that we have some boll wooevils
in practically every ield which I have
examined,
These wecevils are more or less
spotied M these fields and in no case
have I found a generally outbrenk.
What dosg this mesn? I( means that
we have been confining these carly
weevils to those spots b ywatching
these spots and by picking up of the
punctured squares and poisoning the
cotton around this area.
If you examine these punctured
squares ydu.will find that practically
all have been punctured from 8 to
15 days. % have found that 95 percent
of the punctured squares that I have
examined within the last 10 days have
been punctured from 8 to 15 days.
What does this,mean? It means that
all of the old weevils that came out
of winter quarters are dead, and that
our next outbreak can be expected
when these weeyils hatch out. This
is x‘culli' 4’ @ood condition for us if
wo ucq at rd)‘ by .]'qu:ty of ' cal
clum M‘fi‘(‘!l:ft(; {i}; icotton’ for these

in the following facts:

JOBS YOU CAN DO, DURING THILS
RAINY WEATHER is to pick’ up

Witere you have kept taese squares

im‘ the week is dry weather for this

i I have ound the fleas in every ficld
of cotton which I have visited within
;Ihu last 10 days. The damage they
are doing is very spotted. In fact
.thcr(‘ are only 6 fields that I know
of where they have reduceq the set
ting ef squares from 30 to 60 percent.
Old cotton that has plenty of fruil
sct is practically free from the flea’s
attack. So far, where the farmors
hilvc used sulphur they are setting
more fruit.

You are loyal to your home town. That goes without saying. -
One of your most effective means of proving it is to spend your
money for printing at home. As long as you can get what you 8
need at an even break in price, yvou will want to be sure to have
the printing done-at home. . '
Cotton books, receipts, warehouse supplies, letter heads, en
velopes, bills and a thousand and one other forms ean be had here
at home where the home printer ean show you what you are get
ting in 'time to have it done right, ! §
Your home printer is more interested than anyhody else in
having it done right. He will work harder for you than the out
side man with the grip on a ten percent commission. You can- :
not deny that the home print shops do their best for you in both
price and quality. And the home print shops are not run by
i beggars. They maintain business institutions, live here, pay
taxes, rents and their portion of all public enterprises. "They
have a right to exidt on a heads up schedule just as you have. e
Please don’t think of them in any other manner than that, | o
, : i,
And the home paper has a right to an income sufficient to
maintain it as representing a progressive community. Unless -
you are loyal to the core, it isn’t going to have that income. The
money you spend outside of Cordele for printing cripples the
home paper. You use the home paper for many things—have to
do that. You have a right to use it when you spend your money
at home for printing. When you do not, we have a right to in
vite you to get your fiee boosting from those with whom you
spend your money for printing. L
* Stay at home with all the printing you can give the home :
print shops, Call them when you need something. The business
attention that will be given you will justify your loyalty. ,
