BURY HE BILL WEEVIL
“Every cloud has its silver
lining.” The disastrous flood has
made it possible to so completely
exterminate the boll weevil, in
central and south Alabama, that
it will be almost impossible to
find one in this territory next
year before about August 15th,
if the proper steps are now taken.
To do this, it is only necessary
that all fanners pick out their
cotton, and plow under or other-
i wise destroy all cotton stalks by
September 20th, or at the very
latest, October 1st. It is easily
possible to do this if organized
concerted action can be secured.
There is a very light cotton crop
in this territory and it is practi
cally all open now. Bolls not
now fully grown and ready to
open, will produce nothing but
weevils, but will produce them,
in great numbers until frost falls,
if the stalks are not sooner de
stroyed .
The early destruction of the
cotton stalks accomplishes two
things: First, it kills the millions
of boll weevil in the larvae or
pupae state, in the immature
bolls. These weevils, if not so
killed, are the very ones which
will later mature, go into winter
xuarters young and full fed, and
are most certain to survive the
winter. Second, it starves to
death the adult weevils by de
priving them of food for a period
of :?0 to tiO days. The average
killing frost from Montgomery
south comes about November
20th. Until this time the weevil
cannot hibernate, but remains
active, searching for food which
they must have or starve. Very
few if any of the adults weevils
would survive this period if all
stalks are destroyed not later
J than October 1st, and even those
| living to go into winter quarters
! would do so weakened they
would certainly die during the
winter. There is no uncertainty,
no guess work about this. These
results are absolutely certain to
follow the complete destruction
of all cotton stalks by the date
named. Stalks plowed under
and humus and help enrich the
soil,—possibly to the extent of
•$5.00 or $15.00 per acre in ferti
lizer value,—but they must be
completely covered at least four
inches deep to kill the immature
weevil in the green bolls. Farm
ers unable to cover them this
depth should cut and burn the
stalks instead of attempting to
plow them under.
Business organizations and pro
gressive farmers should at once
take steps to secure concerted ac
tion as above outlined in every
county in central and southern
Alabama. Is it not worth any
effort to be practically insured
immunity from the boll weevils
until August 1st, or later next
year?

Grave Damage To Pine
Timber in the South
J. B. BERRY, Prof. Forestry Georgia
State College Of Agriculture
Wherever one travel? in the pouth
there is noticed nmall groups of dead
or drying pines. Often in midsum
mer the leaves turn yellow -and fall,
leaving the trees bare. As a rule this
damage Is due to the southern pine
beetle fDendroctonus fontalis), a
small beetle about a quarter of an
inch long, which penetrates the bark
and works in the cambium layer. If
enough beetles are present the tree
is girdled and gradually dies.
Following a summer cutting of pine
is the damage especially noticed. The
beetles are attracted from considera
ble distances by the odor of the fresh
ly cut wood and attack the surround
ing trees. The cutting of even one
tree in a group of pine is sufficient to
attract the beetles. Usually the work
of the beetles in standing timber is
confined to the upper portions of the
stem; on felled timber, It works on
the entire length of the trunk.
Damage may be greatly reduced by
restricting cutting of pine to the win
ter months when both trees ar»d bee
tles are in a dormant st a te. If cut
ting in the summer is unavoidable,
the slashing should be destroyed by
firing. Beeties in infested timber may
be destroyed by peeling the bark and
burning it or by submerging the logs
m water and destroying the slashing.

LITTLE GIRL STRAYS BFF
A little daughter of a Mr.
Wilson, who works at the Crate
Factory strayed off from school
Wednesday afternoon and for a
while gave her parents a terrible
fright.
It seems that the little girl left
for school in the afternoon and
instead of going as her mother
thought, she seemed to have
went on a childish exploration
trip and was seen just across
the railroad by a man coming in
to town. She got on the train
without a ticket and was put off
at West Bainbridge just across
the river. Instead of coming
hack home she continued her
walk ar.d finally stopped at the
home of Mr. W. H. Chandler,
who took her in and early last
night the officers found her and
carried her hack to her parents.
The officers really think that
the little girl did not know just
where she was going or what
she was doing. It seems that
Mr. and Mrs. Chandler could not
get much out of her as she told
them she had no home, when
they tried to ascertain who she
was so they could communicate
with her people.

losing Planing Mill and Kilns, but saved our shed full of
dressed stock and our saw mill.
We have added numerous cars from our connections
and secured some eight hundred thousand feet at the plant
of Stuart Lumber Co., Brinson, and are now better prepar
