DESTROY COnON STALKS EARLY Georgia Can Raise
TO CHECK BOLL WEEVIL DAMAGE Si,ee P *» Prorrt
THE LOUIS MILLER STORE 1
Atlanta, Oa„ September.—(Special.)
•Destroy, absolutely destroy, at the
earliest possible moment, every cot
ton stalk In ycur Held," Is the warn
ing advice which the State Board of
Entomology gives to cotton planters
In and upon the borders of the district
infested with the Mexican cotton boll
weevil.
Stalk destruction Is one of the most
important phases of the boll weevil
■fight Pick the cotton early and just
as soon as It Is picked, DESTROY
THE 8TALES'.
The entire cotton crop In southwest
Georgia will be open by September 15
to 30. The boll weevil Is now doing
serious damage in many south Geor
gia counties, some twenty to twenty-
five of them. Partners In these In
fested areas should not be misled Into
thinking they are going- to get more
cotton by the appearance of late bolls.
These bolls which would ordinarily
open, are, many of them, infested with
the weevil; In the absence of squares
the weevil attacks the boll, even when
nearly mature, and many of these will
not open,
Destroy Stalks Early
The quicker and earlier you de
stroy the stalks In tho field, the bet
ter the results you will get from it.
The weavtl remains In the field until
the first killing frost and then seeks
winter quarters, under trash, around
stumps and along fence tfiws.
Many weevils are killed off during
the winter, but we want to reduce tbs
•Umber that goes Into winter quarters.
If the stalks are destroyed from Sep
tember 16 to 30, only 1 weevils out
of every 1,000 will survivo the win
ter and be ready to attack the young
crop In the spring. It the stalks are
destroyed from October 1 to 15, there
will remain 21 out of every 1,000, from
October 15 to 30, 08 out of every 1,000
and November 1 to 15, 121 out of
every 1,000.
It Is easy to see, therefore, why it
Is necessary to dostroy the stalks as
sarly as possible. Tho best and most
satisfactory method of stalk destruc
tion la to PLOW THEM UNDER
DEEP. Use a big turn plow and got
them buried under at least four inches
of dirt; this will destroy millions of
weevils, and thus prevent their going
■ Into winter quarters.

Grave Damage To Pine |
Timber In the South
B. BERRY, Prof. Forestry Georgia
Stats College Of Agriculture j
Wherever one travels In ths south'
there Is noticed smell groups of deed '
drying pines. Often In midsum
mer the leaves turn yellow and fell,
leaving the trees bare. As a rule this
damage is due to the southern pine
beetle (Dendroctonus fontalls), a
small beetle about a quarter ot an
Inch long, which penetrates the bark
and works ln the cambium layer. It
enough beetles are present tbe tree
Is girdled end gradually dies.
Following a summer cutting of pine
Is the damage especially noticed. The
beetles are attracted from considera
ble distances by the odor ot the fresh
ly cut wood and attack tbe surround
ing trees. The cutting ot even one
tree in s group of ptne Is sufficient to
attract tho beetles. Usually the work
of the beetles in standing timber Is
confinod to the upper portions of thc
stem; on felled timber, It works on
the entire length of the trunk.
Damage may be greatly reduced by
restricting cutting of pine to tbe win
ter months when both trees and bee
tles arc In a dormant state. If cut-
ting in the summer is unavoidable.
;he slashing should be destroyed by
Irlng. Beetles In infested timber may
sc destroyed by peeling the bark end
i turning It or by submerging the log,
in water and destroying the slashing
