THE BOLL WEEVIL
AND CREDIT
J. Phil Campbell, Director Extension
Division College of Agriculture.
Much of the cotton that is grown
in Georgia requires an advance of
credit from the banker, or the mer
chant. When the boll weevil has made
ttsclf felt there will boa hesitancy
shout advancing credit on the crop
In fact there may bo an absolute with
drawal of credit which would spell
disaster.
It will be a mistake to cease growing
cotton, even in the presence of the lx»ll
weevil. Therefore, it will be a mis
take to cease extending credit on cot i
ton crops. Bankers and merchants
have it within their power to meet the
boll weevil situation safely and sanely,
prevent panic and gradually direct
farming into a more profitable line
than ever could have been under the
one crop system.
The depredations of the weevil will
Increase gradually. Except under most
unusual circumstances will it do it
greatest damage within the first year
or two after its appearance. Each
year it will take greater toll unless prop
er methods are used to combat it. It
would, therefore, seem a wise policy
for the banker and the merchant to
gradually reduce the amount of credit
on cotton. If they are to encourage
the largest development of the agri
cultural possibilities of the region they
serve, as well as develop their own
business, they will at the same time
encourage the diversification of crops
and the gradual introduction of live
stock to consume the products. There
fore. credit must be extended to these
crops, as it is being gradually reduced I
on cotton.
It has been estimated that the cut !
in the yield of rotton the first year of
the invasion of the weevil is from 10
tv JO per cent: the second year from
X to 45 per cent and the third from
40 to SO per cent, depending upon what
measarcs have been taken to hold the
weevil in check Under some such
schedule, a credit basis may be estab
lished on cotton.
Start In the Colt
Business This Spring
Mitton P. Jarnagm. Professor Animal
Husbandry, Ga. College Os Agri.
Near 600.000 horses have been ex
ported from this country to warring
Europe. In the cotton belt this means
higher priced mules and horses, not
only for this year, but tor years to
wme. When the war is over Europe
will still be looking to this country
for restocking their farms, and for
ten years or more it will have its of
fc'ct on prices in this country.
This spring every mare in Georgia
should be bred to a good sire. If this
were done there is a possibility of be
tween 85,000 and 40.000 colts being
born. The last census showed that
there were only I.4SS colts born in
Georgia during the year the figures
were taken.
The colt crop for next year will
be determined in the next 60 days. It
is. therefore. time for farmers to be
tanking about for suitable, sound stal
lions If there are none or none good
enough, the College will send an ex
pert where there is sufficient interest,
and see if a co-operative arrangement
cannot be made for buying a good stal
lion Two stud fees per mare for 40
to 60 mares would meet all the ex
penses necessary to purchase a stal
lion of fine quality, and the expert
would see that such an animal is pur
chased and delivered.
Put Farm Machinery In Shape
Before Spring Wort Begins
L. C. Hart. Professor Farm Engineer
ing. Ga. College Os Agriculture.
Time and money will be saved if the '
farmer will see to it that before spring
work legins, all of the farm imple
meets are repaired and in readiness
for the rush when it begins. All the
plows. harrows, seeders, cultivators,
etc. should be assembled and looked
aver far all necessary repairs and new
parts. These should be attended to
at eace, so that there will be no de
lay when the farm work begins.
All bearings should be cleaned and ■
oil«xi. and everything should be put
Ut ftrst class condition All s ng o
trees. neck yokes and double . roes
should be assembled and st'.av’.u-.i
where they belong
Itaistg these things before the .timr
far activities in the field beg-.n, re
lieves the burden and worry when
spring opens, and makes the tea op
•rations go off smoothly and w :h
greatest resalts when the farmer is m
greatest need of all the efficiency h.o
can get out of h - equipment
This is a time also to study labor
aav’.ng or improved farm martin cry
and have it ready far spring work
It is better to take time and study
•Il kinds of farm machinery than to
Say out money in anything not the
bust far the individual needs Many
costly mistakes have been made by
Georgia fanners iu too hastily com- id
mg that they had facts d th* best ma
