STOPS PLOWS TO
GATHER WEEVILS
W. L. Chambliss Gets
Good Results in Pick
ing Pest
W. L. Chambless. a prominent far
mer living sever, miles out from Am
ericus. was nett yesterday and told of
his success in picking boll weevils
en his big plantation. Seven thousand
weevils nave been picked off his cot
ton bv bands on the place and de
stroyed and his system of combating
the weevils will be interesting to other
fanners.
Mr. Chambliss pays his hands by
the day for picking weevils, and he is
of the opinion that this plan brings
the best results. It causes the hands
to make a more thorough search for
weevils, in his opinion, and makes it
possible to find weevils in all parts
of the farm, instead of encouraging
the workers to put in their time in
spots where the weevils may chance
to be thickest.
Recently he had his hands stop
their plow work for a day and all
turned to the work of picking wee
vils, with the result that the prob
it m was disposed of temporarily, and
all of the men on the place were ena
bled to go back to plowing the next
morning, the work of picking weevils
being left in the hands of the women
and children for a time. In one desig
nated area recently he picked 37 wee
vils in one day and two days later
when the same area was again picked
over only 12 weevils were found, a
fact which ’ leads him to believe in
that the system of picking thoroughly
over pans of the farm without regard
to the spots most thickly infested
with weevils.
Many squares are already formed
on the young plans he reports, and
