“stalks were from 5 to 6 feet
high and this funished a fine
shade for the weevils. He fought
the weevils by picking Tip the
squares and plowing each week
until about the} first of August
when it began to rain every day.
He will make 1,000 pounds of

land where the fight was not
made against the weevils not
more than three hundred pounds
will be made.
Mr. Jones, a neighbor of Mr.
Armstrong, had cotton on the
other side of the fence, This
land is a poor red hill side and
looked as much like some land in
middle Georgia as was seen on
the trip. The weevils had
almost ruined this cotton. Some
of the party did not believe that
the weevil will do any damage on
the poor up-lands of Georgia but
they are thoroughly convinced

Mr. and Mrs. Ward will move

Mr. Bass’ farm was visited
next and there they found that
he will make a bale of cotton to
the acre and l.e said that this
was due strictly to following
the plans of the Demonstration
Work. He said that if he had
not followed this Goverment
Agent he would not have made
more than a bale on 10 acres.
Mr. Bass advocated planting a
narrow strip of cotton on one side
of the cotton farm as early as
March. This is to attract the
first weevils that come out in the
spring to this cotton and there
they can bo caught and destroyed,
consequently preventing thous
ands hatching out later. He be
lieved that not more than 25 per
cent were able to survive the
winter so if you can catch a
majorty of these on the buds of
this early cotton a fair crop can
be made. He picked up the
punctured squares 2 and 3 times
a week and plowed frequently.
He said t hat the weevils appeared
in his field first around the
stumps, so the stumps should be
destroyed. He believes in cotton
that will put cn fruit early and
fast and will come to maturity
quickly.
Mr. Rawl, a supply merchant
was interviewed and he said that
prior to the weevil he sold about
5,000 pounds of meat a week for
5 to 6 months in the year and
about 6 cars of com, but now
since the weevil has been in that
county two years, he this year
sold only 1,000 pounds of meat
and 150 bushels of corn to both
country and town trade. He said
that the farmers were raising
their own meat and corn and
this was verified by several
farme’s standing near.
