The object is 000.00 for ,..s state and giving Christian Edu cation to .Georgia boys and ijirls to destroy the cotton plants. Weevils can not feed on dead cot ton stalks. When their food ’s de stroyed they migrate to whejw tb y Cftn feed or else go into winter quarters the probabilities of their da maging you again next season nr3 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.

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.
