LINIMENT DESTROY COTTON STALKS EARLY TO CHECK BOLL WEEVIL DAMAGE Atlanta, Ga., September.— (Special.) “Destroy, absolutely destroy, at the earliest possible moment, every cot ton stalk in your field,” 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 STALKS! 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. Farmers 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 cf them, infested with the weevil; in the absence of squares the weevil attacks the boll, even when nearly mature, and mafey of these will not open. Destroy Stalks Early The quicker and earlier you de stroy the stalks in the field, the bet ter the results you will get from it. The weevil remains in the field until the first killing frost and then seeks winter quarters, under trash, around stumps and along fence rows. Many weevils are killed off during the winter, but we want to reduce the number that goes into winter quarters. If the stalks are destroyed from Sep tember 15 to 30, only 2 weevils out of every 1,000 will survive the win ter and be ready to attack the young crop in the spring. If the stalks are destroyed from October 1 to 15, there will remain 21 out of every 1,000, from October 15 to 30, 68 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 destroy the stalks as early as possible. The best and most satisfactory method of stalk destruc tion is to PLOW THEM UNDER DEEP. Use a big turn plow and get them buried under at least four inches of dirt; this will destroy millions of weevils, and thus prevent their going into winter quarters. If the stalks are very large it will be necessary to attach a steel rod or Woodrow Wilson is next at bat and everybody can get together on this great president who has kept the United States out of war. some other device to the plow beam in order to force them over for suc cessfully turning them under. May Be Cut And Burned Another method is to cut the stalks and burn them. If the land is free from rocks and stumps it will be practical to use a V-shaped harrow. Any fanner can construct an outfit of this kind. All that is necessary is to •make two blades at the blacksmith shop out of old cross-cut saws, and attach one, blade on each side of the harrow. A pamphlet giving instruc tions regarding this method, will be mailed from the office of the depart ment upon application. If it is not practical to plow the stalks under or cut them up and burn them, the department would advise plowing them up and thus putting an end to their growth at least four weeks before the first killing frost. This will not kill the weevils, but they will leave your fields and go some where else in search of food. If every farmer in or adjacent to territory infested with the boll wee vil, would destroy the stalks as here advised, it would not be necessary to pick weevils off of young cotton by hand in the spring. Restricting Its Progress The boll weevil is making rapid ad vances in Georgia, and has already traveled more than 50 miles eastward in South Georgia. The department is doing everything Within its power to restrict the movement of cotton seed and other articles which are like ly to carry the insect, so as to hold it down to its natural spread. The department cautions every one not to carry live weevils to their farms. If you go into the infested ter ritory don’t take back any live wee vils with you. Outside of the danger of establishing the weevil ahead of his natural spread, there is a heavy penalty attached to it, both by state and national governments. Any further information or assist ance desired, will be gladly supplied by the State Board of Entomology. The department has a specially prepared and recent bulletin on the history and control of the Mexican cotton boll weevil, a copy of which will be sent to any one on application.
