J. W. CANNON IS A FARMER AS
WELL AS A BANKER AND HAS
PLANS MADE TO TRAVEL |IN
SAFE MANNER AGAINST THE
WEEVIL. ?
J. W. Cannen, cashier of the, Amer!
can National Bank, takes no stock in
what may be a detrimenial belief that
it is possible to grow all cotton again
next year. He peints out the folly of
trying such a thing it weather condi
tions should be anyways normal next
vear and prevent the weevil from
deing more than a fifteen per cent
damage; for in 1918 this section will
be literally covered with boll weevils.
If cotton growers plan to make this
change after one more big cotton crop
they will find it too late to do sp in
S 0 ;z\g,ort a time. Mr. Cannon thinks
the c#eapest experience is that of the
other fellow, a good moral, this. _
Mr. Cannon practices what "he
preaches. Out on his farm on Flint
riveryhe will grow above 75 acres of
wheat on some land that has been en
riched by the Chinese velvet bean.
And this is “some hean,” for it bears
well and analyzes perhaps higher than
the speckled bean. He will cut his
cction racreage sharply, and he says
that if he cannot cover with wheat,
oats and corn. acres left from a cut
in cotton crop, he will lay off rows and
drop corn and velvet beans and give
the land and corn to.the beans, and
he will go there the next vear and do
some fn,.“ming/ on the soil the heans
sheliered and improved.
