IN REFERENCE TO
THE DESTRUCTION
OF COTTON STALK8
The writer ha* been aaked many
queetlona in the laat few day*
about the destruction , of cotton
stalks as a means of controlling the
boll weevil during the *.ext cotton
season.- These questions seem to
be so persistent that it aeems
worth while to give them some
consideration from several angles.
First. As a theoretical proposition
ifMtritrtlnn of cotton otfilkf
several weeks before the first kill
ing frost will greatly reduce the
number of boll weevils which go
Into hibernation and thereby ies-
tpe number that will Come out
of winter quarters next season. To
illustrate this in figure, tests have
shown that where cotton stalk*
were destroyed early In the fall
and some several weeks before
killing frost, 3 per cent of the total
number of weevils lived through
the winter while under the same
condition* and on the same farm
when stalks were not destroyed at
nil 43 per cent of the weevils sur
vived the winter. In addition to
this advantageous difference In
survival, thfere will not be aa many
weevils to go Into winter quarters
on those farms where the stalks
are destroyed ns on those where
the stalks are not destroyed.’
Although the number that wll*
go Into winter quarters in the
vicinity of a cotton field, on which
the stalks have been destroyed,
owing to several factors. It will
usually be leas than 25 per cent
less than the number which goes
Into winter quarters near the fields
tlon and will enable a farmer to get
hie crops planted during adverse
springe like the spring of 1328,
where without fall plowing it would
be Impossible to get the crop?
planted at the times they ought
to be put In. Also during good
spring seasons he has more time
to give to preparation for planting
and subsequent cultivation la bet
ter and requires less labor.
Then there la a benefit derived
from fall plowing in this section
which the writer has never heard
mentioned locally, that la the de-,
•tructlon of the winter stage of the
com ear worm, which la the same
worm as attacks the cotton bolls
and which worm did " onslderable
damage during the past summer.
This worm lives through the win
ter as a pupa snugly nestled at the
end of a small hole 2 to 4 inches
bcV>w the surface of the ground
The fall plowing 6t the land de
stroys these holes through which
th#moths emerge in the spring and
also destroy* many pupae by
breaking their popa cases.

With CoT. T. Larry Gantt I
Some farmers, because they
have not made cotton themselver
under boll weevil conditions, do
not like to hear of any one else
making a fair crop of the ataple.
In our crop reports we never fail
to give the name of our authority,
and always try to Interview rella-
ble men. We have never yet pub-

es that more will be produced. tM!r.
S-. D. Fambrough, of Bishop, says
he has 75 acres in cotton and is
good for a bale to three acres.
Mr. Fambrough says he had a fine
prospect until late in the season,
when the boll weevil hit h|'m hard
and no amount of poison could
keep them in check.
Dr. Holliday says on his little
farm on the Lexington road .he has
made more cotton Ohan was ever
grown before the appearance of the
boll weevil. The doctor says ho has
a mixture of his own composition
that sticks,to the stalk ami' does
the work. He says the Hill Mix

the leaves but the. squares on cot-
W. D. Griffith of Macon was in
the city this week shaking hands
with h.'s old friends, and their
name is legion. Btll had so changed
that we «¥d not recognise him as
the same genial fellow we knew In .
times gone by. He tells 113 that-
the counties below the Georgia)
road are almost stripped of neg-|
roes and crops are very unprom-
islng.
Jim Price says that Walter
Touchstone, of Spalding county,
this year plantod 200 acres In cot
ton and employed the Florida
method of picking off the early
squares, and thus getting rid of
weevils. He has made 150 bales.
Mr. Price says the state experi
mental station tried all methods of
fighting the pest and found the
Florida plan most satisfactory.
We have had an unusual fall for
gathering crops and tftJs saved cot
ton. But we cannot count on such
weather and In pitching your cot
ton acreage next year better not
over-crop yourself. Only plant as
much cotton as you can keep
poisoned' with your force of work-
Profs. Wood of the Agricultural
College and Chandler of the Win- !
tcrville Graded School, attendedj
the chicken sale at Lavonia last
Saturday. Some 800 thoroughbred !
pullets were sold at SucVon and
they brought good gpices. They;
were ot the different strains and
all pedigreed fowls. A large crowd
was at the sale from many coun
ties.
H. B. Meadow, near Smltlionla,
says tie's year he had eight one-
horse croppers and each planted
from eight to ten acres of cotton.
Thus far they have gotten out five
bales each, and wll average con-
sidf'-ably over half a bale to the
acre. Mr. 'Mteadow says he plant
ed one and a ljalf acres In late
com and will sell about |150 worth
of roasting ears. He has grown on
his farm plenty of corn, meat and
all else to run him next year, and
will have some to sell.

foundation for this report; that
their cheese factory is a great
success and dairymen from near

Is those In vicinity of fields where
stalk, have been destroyed, to
survive the winter Is also lessened.
Taking these two factors together,
It Is possible by early stalk de- i
structlon to reduce th® number I
surviving to such nn extent as to|
materially help the fight against the I
weevils the following season. /
Assuming that we have two
fields in the same community. Th»
fields are of the same else and
have the same amount.o* boi^wee
vil Infestation during the fall. Th*
number of weevles going Into win
ter quarters will be the same If
stalks ar® not destroyed bn eithet
field. This of course Is purely as
sumed for the purpose of Illustrat
ing. And this number of weevils
in each case Is 10,000. Let us fol
low the theoretical problem. On
field number one the stalks are
destroyed three weeks before frost
Seventy five percent of the
adult weevils go elsewhere in
search of food leaving 2500 weevil*
to go Into winter quarters In the
vicinity of that field, while from
field number 2 the entire ten thou
sand weevils go Into winter quar
ters. Still* further, it is possible
that only three per cent of th*
weevils going Into winter qeartera
from field No. 1 will live through*
the winter by virtue of having
their food cut short several week*
before hibernating and being in
poor condition to stand the winter
and the number surviving the win
ter from field No. 1 would be but
seventy five weevil*: while from
field No. 2 there would be 4100 sur
vived which stalk destruction Is ad
vocated as one of the best means
of fighting the boll weevil and
theory is based on sound experi
mental data.

DEKALG RED CROSS
18 PLANNING DRIVE
ATLANTA.—The DeKalb red
erase chapter Is planning a drive
for the relief of tbe poor to be
launched In tbe near future. A
meeting of cUtxene -HI be held at
the county court houae to dartre
plan, and many prominent speak
er* will offer suggestion*, accord
ing to Mire Claire Hancock tbe
secretary of the local chapter.
There will be no eubacrtptlona
taken at tbe meeting Vch la to be
a buatnea* meeting to formulate
plana only. One of the principal
subjects to be considered will be
tbe propoeel that tbe DeKalb
chapter take a aubscriptlon of
sustaining memberahlps for the ad
vancement of the work te tbe
county In tbe near future .
Some farmers In this county who
throughly appreciate this great
benefit that results In early destruo
tlon of cotton stalks, have not u
yet finished picking cotton and In
some coses 10 to 15 pounds of lint
per sere wilt open. As a practical
problem, the nulka should not bs
turned under until tbe cotton Is
picked down to a point where what
remains will not pay for th* pick
ing or nearly so. And when this
point ts reached If the farmer can
do so, It Is certainty advisable to
destroy the stalks by ripping up or
turning under or by other means.
There Is no doubt that every farm
er who doee this will benefit by It
next reeson. Some fields here and
there could be turned right pow
without losing sny lint and It would
bs fine if thle were done.
Pn connection with th# early de-.
structlon of cotton stalks we have
certain benefits to be derived Irani
fall plowing. It Is practicable to
plow land during the fall and early
winter months and thereby reduce
the amount of winter washing
That Is by plowing on the contour
and ridging the surface with each
furrow. A great number of email
terraces will hold mu* better
then a few large onee, so a sue,
cession of mixture terraces In ad
dition to the regular terraces
makes for the best protection
against winter washing.
As mentioned In foregoing grtl
eles the advantage of plowing for
stalk destruction In tbe fall Is very
great In bool weevil controL
Furthermore fields that have been
turned In the fall are In better
condition for early spring prepara-
