J. G. ADAMS WRITES
ON WEEVIL CONTROL
There are a great number of farmers
who ha\e not decided the l*.-st way to
control the weevil and for this reason
[ svill write this article.
This information is the best from th“
U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, the State
Dept. of Agriculture, Georgia Stale
College and also from iny four years ex
perience. There Is no use of a man
saying, “1 cannot make cotton." it is
our only salvation and I think “timely
talks to the toilers", (of which I am
one), will be very beneficial to the coun
ty. 1 will endeavor to give my best on
this subject.
This is for the basis of one acre only,
to combat more acreage treat accord
ing.
First, see that land is of average type,
then break well, always using harrow
freely, after land has been laved off in
3 1-2 or 4 ft. rows allow a rain to eon
(lition the land.
Second, with a distributor, run on
bed. putting at least four hundred
pounds of good guano, a S-4-4 or u
9-3-3 is best, of course the greater
amount of guano up to seven hundred , i
the better it is.
Next, get an early variety of seed and
plant plenty down as early as possible
■in April. *
After cotton has been chopped apply
first, application of poison. This is tb
get the parent or old weevil The first
application may Fa- liquid or dry powder
just as preferred. If applied dry, a
guano horn with sack and screen wire
over large end will be effective. Just
a light hunch over every stalk, takirig
about one pound to the acre.
Tf liquid is applied take two and a j
half gallon pail, put in two gallons of
water, one quart or a half gallon ot
cheapest syrup obtainable. Mix well
add one pound of arsenate. This will
cover one acre twice at a very loyv cost.
Make own dohber with wool or cotton*
cloth wrapped around a round stick
two and a half feet long. Jf you pre
fer a bought mixture, why not mix a
pound of cotton seed meal with the
other above mentioned and an extra
cost of shipped in material.
This is practically the same as Hills
or other Brands now or* the market.
After first application, waft three
weeks and apply again. Of course if
badly infested, do it sooner.
For third and fourth application, ap
ply after large rains to keep them down.
A very effec tive way to apply when
cotton reaches a large stage, is to use
stomach machine, turning spout parallel
with ground.
Real early in the mornings start on
the side of field that the breezes blow
and blow through about two or three
rows with some of the dust settleing on
the next three or four. By this process
you can cover a large acreage in a
short while, therefore enabling you to
fight them better.
Always give the cotton the best of
work possible and you can easily m^ke
a fair crop under most any weather
conditions.
If the crop year is an average one
the interest on your extra money in
vested should pay a large per cent.
T also would suggest, that for the
farmer ’twould be best, for the good
Board of Trade to give their timely aid.
Yours truly.

less than in 1321, except on grain and
grain products, the reduction of wheat
having been Hi per cent and on coarse
