1,000 Georgia Methodists made

greatly reduced.
Over most of the cotton belt it ^
possible to gather the cotton early
enough to permit of the destruction
of the cotton stalks three to four
weeks before a killing frost will de
stroy them. Three to four weeks
earlier in gong into winter quarters

Chopping down stalks leave stubs
that sprout new growth on which *he
weevil can feed, therefore, the only
saf way is to uproot the stalks or
else, with the aid of a drag ehaid. to

Knowing that many cotton farm
ers do not plow deep enough to cover
up cotton stalks, the safest general
advise is to uproot the stalks w ? - h a
plow and to watch that no rew
growth starts up.
It will crawl into a lock of cotton
or half opened bur to keep warm
and come out when the sun shines
to feed on the green stuff.
Don’t burn the cotton stalks. Let
them lay on the ground. When the
groudn is plowed they can be turned
under where they will decay and add
the organic matter which the soils
so much need.
