Now is the time to begin an active and concerted fight for the purpose of minimizing the damage which boll weevils will do In Georgia next sum mer. Experience has shown that one of the most successful tvays of fighting this best is through the destruction of the cotton stalks in the early fall. Im mediately the cotton is picked out this work should be commenced with vigor and dispatch. A survey of the state in dicates that weevils have been found during the season now closing in all the counties in the southwestern part of the state..and in some sections the dam age has been severe. In this connection it is Important to state that the boll weevil lives on cotton alone. Therefore, if the plants are destroyed In the early fall before frosts occur and before the boll weevil has gone into winter quar ters. its host plant not being available, large numbers of the weevil necessarily starve to death or the functions of their bodies are so greatly reduced that they cannot survive the cold weather of the winter. In fighting every pest which attacks crops useful to man, nature has always provided a relatively simple and effective way of checking its inroads. There is nothing mysterious about the plan suggested. It is something that can oe put into effect immediately on every farm. It is a cheap method of fighting this pest: therefore, every farmer who fs wise and judicious should employ this method. Not only will a large number of weevils be starved or destroyed by being buried completely in the ground through the turning under of the infest ed stalks, but' thousands of eggs and the young worms which may develop Into weevils before frost will be killed as well. Thus, in the state of Georgia alone, if there is co-operative, systemat ic effort on the part of all cotton grow ers millions upon millions of this pest may be destroyed cheaply and quickly. On the other hand, if the stalks are not turned under and the ground plowed just as soon as possible, millions of weevils will survive the winter and be ready just as soon as the cotton comes out of the ground to start their depredations, and thus, in many instances, the farm er’s crop may be completely destroyed. Since cotton is our main money crop and likely to continue so it does not seem that we would neglect this oppor tunity of dealing effectively with its one great and serious enemy. It is now bringing a high price and this is bound to continue in so far as any economist can determine at this time. Apparently, there will be a great demand for cotton next year because the world’s reserve supplies are low and the consumption of cotton greatly increased by the demands of the war. There is another great advantage in destroying the stalks in the fall. Where this is done the land in many instances has been thoroughly prepared for plant ing early next spring. Everyone knows that in fighting the weevil early plant ing is a matter of the utmostt impor tance. Those familiar with our sea sonal conditions in the southeast know that, as a rule, fall-plowed land can be planted much earlier than spring plow’ed land. Moreover, cotton loves a fairly firm seed bed, and, as a rule, if the land is disked or harrowed thor oughly in the spring, it will be suf ficiently friable to enable the farmer to Immediately bed it for cotton; whereas, if he has to wait for the spring to pre pare his land, the soil often dries out and the seed bed becomes so loose that it is hard to obtain a stand, .and cer tainly early planting can seldom be accomplished. Remember in this connection that the earlier the cotton stalks are destroyed the better. If the work is done in Sep tember it will generally be an advantage. It should certainly be accomplished in the early part of October. Some one will say immediately that this is im practicable because a large part of the cotton crop cannot be picked out until the first of November or later. This no doubt applies to some sections which the boll weevil has not invaded, but in those sections where the damage is most severe there will never be a top crop of cotton because the weevils destroy it so 'completely in the late summer and early fall. Tn other words, under boll weevil conditions the farmer must depend on gathering a profitable crop of cotton from those bolls which set on very early in the season and mature rapidly, or, in other words, before the weevil develops sufficiently to effectively attack them. As to the method of destroying the stalks the best practice will be to plow them under. Covering them deeply is absolutely essential. If the stalks are not large, say over three feet high, they may. be well covered into the soil by attaching a heavy chain to the colter nnd to the end of the doubletree. On plows without colters the chain may be attached to the beam. Enough slack, of course, must be left to drag the stalks down successfully. A relatively heavy haln should be used, because the stalks at the season indicated are green and tou’gh and have a considerable re sistance on that account. Remember : oat it is very, very important to cover the stalks thoroughly and to a depth of several inches. Those who have been practicing shallow plowing in the past will now find it essential if they expect to continue the cultivation of cotton on a profitable basis to use heavier turning plows in the future than they have em ployed in the past. Where the stalks are very <all. say four or five feet, the disk or cutaway harrow must often be resorted to to break them down sufficently to permit of the plow turning them under to a proper depth. When this implement is used the gangs must be set at an angle that will enable the disk to cut deeply and successfully straddle each row. In some instances it may be necessary to go over the rows twice. Occasionally the ground becomes so hard that the stalks can not be turned under in the fall. Every one in the southeastern states is familiar with the fact that we frequently have dry periods in the au tumn. When this occurs one should rip up the stalks with a bull tongue or with any sort of an implement that will destroy the roots and lift them out of the ground so they will die quickly. While this is not as desirable a prac tice as plowing them under, the destruc tion of the stalks is a matter of such I fundamental Importance that this meth- I od should be resorted to rather than to permit them to grow and so afford food and shelter for millions of weevils. Burning the stalks is a suicidal prac tice. Our lands now are entirely too low in nitrogen. This element is very costly and likely to be more so because of the war’s demands. When the cot- I ton stalks are burned the nitrogen is destroyed or driven off Into the air in the form of gas. The farmer who burns up his cotton stalks will destroy several dollars worth of this valuable fertilzer element per acre. We can not stand such a loss, and therefore, des troying the stalks by burning is little short of a criminal practice and should be discouraged at a time when the na tion faces the greatest crisis in its hls tory. Sometimes a farmer may graze his cotton fields to some advantage but no matter how thoroughly the fields may be cleaned up by this practice, a large number of weevils will find cover In a field so handled. In destroying weevils, remember that no matter what your friends or neigh bors may do. you should lake every pre caution yourself. On the other hand. Isolated action in fighting this pest is to be deplored. There never was a time when the farmers needed to get togeth er and co-operate more than in those lo calities which the weevil has invaded. Concerted action on every farm and plantation will materially reduce the number of weevils available to damage the crop next year. Naturally if only a few farmers plow down the stalks, the weevils will hibernate in neighboring fields in very great numbers and be ready to attack the adjoining farms in the early spring. Farmers, merchants and business men everywhere must get behind the movement to starve out the boll weevil, and should insist through the organization of community clubs, and even larger organizations upon uniform action looking to the early and complete destruction of cotton stalks. • • » TREATING A CASE OF DISORDERED DIGESTION. W. J. 1)., Cedartown, Ga., writes: 1 have n row with a young calf. When the calf waa three weeks old her bowels got loose. And then she got a lump under her chin, and her udder is sw'ollen some. 1 feed her on cottonseed meal, corn meal, shorts, cotton seed hulls and hay. I would like to have a remedy for the' trouble. Disorders of the blood and improper feeding may account for the trouble you are experiencing with your cowl We suggest that the firsl thing you do is to giv# her a good dosA of opening medi cine and follow this up for two or three days in succession. For this pur pose we think there is probably nothing more satisfactory than Epsom salts in 1 and 1 1-2-pound doses. Dissolve in war mwrater and give as a drench. You should then use some sort of tonic pow ders which will tend to build up the di gestive system. A great variety of these powders may be used. We suggest that you try the following one for a little while: Sulphate of iron. 4 ounces; nitrate of potash, 2 ounces; ginger root, 2 ounces; gentian root, 2 ounces; nux vomica seed, 2 ounces. Pulverize these materials very thor oughly and mix together. Give a small heaping teaspoonful in the food two or three times daily. Discontinue the use of the cottonseed meal and hulls for a couple of weeks and feed In place bran mashes made by pouring boiling water over wheat bran. Give only clean, bright hay. Water and feed regularly. The swollen bag should be bathed in hot water three times daily and rubbed say with camphorated vaseline there after. If this treatment does not ef fect a cure the trouble is probably due to some derangement of the organic system. • ♦ • DESTROYING LICE ON A MULE. I*. U.

T feed her meal and hulls nnd she runs on beans and oats pasture. Lice are no uncommonly met with on mules, and when an animal once becomes infested it is difficult to destroy these parasites. The chances are that posts where the animal rubs itself and the stall where ft stands will become infested, hence the lice are liable to get on other animals and It Is hard to control the spread of the pest as a rule. The litter in the stall should be removed and burned. The stall should then be white washed and thoroughly disinfected. It is important that the cracks be thor oughly penetrated with a highly disinfec tant solution and that the rubbing posts be similarly treated. The animal should STYLE ONLYto— ■OMMMOBMgMsgysTYLE&WEAft rs ' uOMajtnßU /. ' J ErEaTl x ■ ; PAPER AU.

It is very im portant that this work be thoroughly I and effectually done so that no part of ' the body will escape treatment. Use i this solution again in a few days and j this method of treatment, if persistent- I ly followed up will enable you to de : stroy the lice. Os course, this is a pernicious para site and If allowed to multiply on an I animal will tend to make it puny. On a small farm ticks can be taken, off of cows in one of several ways. Hand i picking is not an unusual method to pur sue. One should examine the animal ■ very closely to be certain that all ticks i are secured. An examination should be ! made at least every day. Ticks taken off should, of course, be destroyed and not thrown on the ground. Ticks may also be scraped off with a dull knife and then the legs and tail and other parts of the body should be kept greased with a carbolized lard or crude petroleum. The chances are that you are not feed ing your cow a ration which will induce her to fatten. If you will give her an abundance of clean, palatable hay or fod der and a ration consisting of equal parts of cottonseed meal nd corn meal you .should be able to fatten her. A little succulent feed such as winter pastures should afford will be very help ful in keeping the system in good con dition. Liberal feeding is, of course, essential. • » » TREATING THE UDDER OF A FREE MILKING SOW. T. N. G„ Kastman, Ga., writes: I bare h bog four years old; has had three litter* of pigs in good condition. She will weigh about 200 pound*. There is something wrong with her udder. The teats swell up and burst. It does not seem to make her sick. I have been giving her blood medi cine, but she does not get any better. Would be glad to know jrhat to do for her. It seetjis quite evident from the de scription contained in your letter that your sow has suffered from congestion of the udder. This might be due to several causes: Possibly the udder was badly congested at the time of farrow ing and the milk was not promptly and completely drawn out by the young pigs. It is nt>t unusual for the udder to be come congested at farrowing time, and it should be examined promptly and carefully and any excess of milk which the pigs do not need drawn from it. When congestion is very bad one should use hot fomentations several times a day. The bathing should be continued for at least twenty minutes in water as hot as the hands can stand, then the udder should be rubbed with a cam phorated ‘liniment and It should be kneaded gently but persistently. Treat ment of this kind for a few days will afford relief and,will often cure what would otherwise become an aggravated and disastrous case. There is nothing you can do for your sow now under the circumstances, as we judge from what you say that a part of the udder has lost its function. We do not think that blood medicine is likely to cure the trouble. We are Inclined to believe that an abundance of easily digested food will prove more satisfac tory. We think you should feed your sow for some time on shorts reduced to a fairly thin slop with skim milk. If this does not build her up and reinvigor ate her the best thing you can do is to fatten her and dispose of her. • ♦ ♦ TREATING A CASE OF SLOBBERS. T. 1.. 8.. Timmonsville, 8. C., writes: I bought a young mule about three weks ago and she slobbers like a cow, and 1 do not know how to prevent it. Would be glad for any help yon can give me. Slobbering, or salivation, may be caused by a number of things. It is a trouble not uncommonly met with in mules. It may be due to bad food. By this I mean moldy or dirty food, or partly decayed or fermented food. It may be also due to the excessive use of drugs or to sore mouth arising from various causes. Slobbering is frequently associated With bad teeth. It may also be caused by a partial paralysis of some parts of the head or throat. The first thing to do is. to examine the mule very carefully and see if you can find the cause of the trouble and correct the same. If the teeth are sharp and jagged they should be filed down. In case there is anything wrong with the food, stop using the supply on hand and get some that is in first-class condition. If the glands of the neck appear to be diseased or swollen, tincture of iodine may be painted thereon or It may be made up as an ointment and rubbed in. This often proves of some value. Colds should be treated much as in the case of human beings It is first desirable to use a purgative. For this purpose there is probably nothing better or cheaper than epsom salts, though oils may be used to advantage. Aloes and other drugs may be used for this pur pose. After the alimentary tract has been thoroughly cleansed the use of some tonic condition powder will often prove desirable. A great variety of these medicines may be used but prob ably there is nothing better than the one suggested below: sulphate of iron, two ounces; nitrate of potash (saltpe ter). two ounces; gentian root (pulver ized), two ounces; nux vomica seed (pul verized), one ounce and giner root (pul verized), one ounce. These ingredients should be thoroughly pulverized and mixed and a heaping teaspoonful given in the food three times daily. In case your mule will not eat the powder, omit the gentian root and add linseed meal. This should be fed strictly according to directions. There is no use, however, j in giving medicines unless you put yotfr mule under the best saintary conditions. I protect it from drafts and from over- 1 feeding for a few days and feed on the best and most easily assimilated foods. , HANDLING THE VELVET BEAN CROP. C. B. M.. Norcros*. Ga.. writes: I would like direction* for the growing of velvet beau*. Which does best in this country. j the velvet or soy bean? How can 1 keep weevils out of the dried pea*, bean*, etc. ? I How is the best way to save sweet potatoes through the winter? According to our experience and ob servation. we would advise the combi- 1 nation of velvet beans in corn. This is the simplest way of handling the crop. It has the advantage of increasing the yield of forage per acre, does not reduce the yield of corn under proper condi tions, the vines and pods can be grazed until after frost, the cost per acre is small, the soil can be built up by this I practice and the seeds are free from in sect attacks by reason of their hardness. Some •of the varieties we suggest as best adapted for use In Georgia are those known as the 90-Day Running, 100-Day, the Medium Early and the Ex tra Early. The extra early varieties should, of course, be grown in north Georgia. The late varieties will mature satisfactorily in south Georgia. In ad dition, the Chinese and Osceola can be cultivated to advantage in south Geor gia. The velvet bean, while best adapted to sandy soil, grows well in clay lands. As a rule, it is best to plant velvet beans by dropping one by every hill of corn. A bushel of seed will usually plant four to five acres. The soy bean, of course, does fairly well in this section of the country and makes very good yields. It produces a very good bean for use as human food. It is best grown by itself. It should be planted in drills about 2 1-2 to 3 feet apart. The land should be well fertil ized with phosphoric acid and under nor mal conditions,) with potaah as well. It will take front two to three pecks to plant an acre, depending a good deal on the size and variety selected. The Mam moth Yellow is one of the best varieties to plant for general cultivation. Soy beans can be cut with a corn harvester or an ordinary binder. The most important thing in curing sweet potatoes is to dry out the surplus moisture they contain when first dug. They should not be harvested until ma ture. The maturity may be ascertained by breaking the potato and exposing it to the light for a few miniftes. If water arises to the surface when broken and stands they are not sufficiently matured. If the exposed part dries off. the potato is mature. After digging, if the weather is fair it is good practice to let the potatoes stand in the sunshine for a few days so as to thoroughly dry them out. Then put them in a hill where the ground is well drained. They should be piled up in a V-shaped heap. Cover with < straw for a few days, then as the po- I tatoes dry out and the weather gets | cooler, cover with earth, the covering < being increased as the season advances. Leave a ventilated space at the top where the potatoes are covered only with straw. It is best to build a shelter over the top of the heap. This is the cheapest and best way for the average home. This is not the very best way for the loss by decay is quite great, but Unless one is able to build a storage house it is the best method. Weevils may be destroyed by treating with carbon-bisulphide. One pound of carbon-bisulphide should be used to a ton of grain. The beans or peas should be put in relatively airtight boxes and a proportion of the material placed In shallow dishes on top of the grain. This should be left for a few hours. Since the carbon-bisulphide is heavier than air it will penetrate to the bottom of the box. This treatment should be repeated in the course of a few days. Remember that this material Is readily inflammable so do not handle in the presence of i lights. The offensive odor caused there- ; from can be destroyed by allowing the beans or peas to air for several days. • • • need of a balanced ration. W T. S., Jennings, Fla., writes: I have a sow that' 1* down in her loins. She has been this way about six weeks. I have used turpentine, but it did no good. Would like tor you to give me a remedy. You do not say whether your hog is confined or not. The chances are that she is. However, the symptoms she has developed are frequently due to feeding animals In confined pens on corn exclusively. Corn does not contain a sufficient amount of either protein or ash matter to meet the requirements of hogs and if they are fed exclusively on it for any length of time they are liable to break down in the hindquarters, be cause of the malnutrition of the mus cles and the bones which make up the skeleton. This difficulty may be over-? come by turning your hog out where she may have the use of a fair range i and changing the ration. We advise | that you cut out corn altogether for a | little While and use shorts or a combina- j ation of shorts and peanut meal, or any other carrier of a high per cent of pro tein. Shorts and peanut meal might be mixed together In eqiyl parts and i fed in the form of a relatively thin slop. ; Judicious but abundant feeding is es-, sential. i You should also supply your sow with an abundance of mineral matter. Make a mixture, for instance, of coal ashes and lime, finely ground raw rock phos phate to which a little salt may be add ed. Place in a box in the yard or pen. Hogs often show a great avidity for this kind of food when In the condition you mention. Corn cobs can also be placed before them to advantage. If you are feeding slops containing soap ? powders, discontinue this practice at • once. Kitchen slops, however, when ; free from these or from glass or broken dishes may be fed to advan-1 tage and may be used in the absence of ' meal to reduce the shorts to a suitable i condition for feeding. * • • THE COMPOSITION OF LEADING, CONCENTRATES. B. B. L.. -Montezuma, Ga., writes: 1 wnnM like to know the amount of protein to be found In cottonseed meal, corn and velvet hean meal. The amount of protein tn cottonseed meal varies considerably, depending on I the grade of this material. Good meal contains 31. g per cent prime meal, 34.(5 per cent, choice meal 37 per cent. There is aproximately 6.9 per cent oflj protein In corn meal. Velvet beans contain approximately 18.1 per cent of protein. These figures refer to the amount of digestible protein in the various con centrates mentioned and not to the total or gross amount as shown by chemical analysis. Naturally only that part of the food which is digestible is of value s to animals consuming It. You will ob serve. therefore, that cottonseed meal contains from three to four times as much protein as corn meal and about twice as much as velvet beans, while velvet beans contain about twice as much protein as corn meal. i 1 I to Oivn S»H»faottwi.
