It Is possible to Increase the pro duction greatly or rathre save much that Is already tn the bolls by fighting off the boll weevils. The saving of 60 to 100 pounds of lint cotton per acre Is worth while. If tho green bolls now on the plants are saved this will be accom plished. By keeping the boll weevil under control for two Weeka there Is an excellent chance to do this. To keep the boll weevils un der control for the next- two weeks means dusting right now, repeitlng In four days. Do not let tho weather stop* you. Dust after showers.
