, If the Farmer Would Control the Price
of Hie Cotton It le Imperative that
|^He Raise Hie Own Supplies—Other
Matters of Importance to Agricul-
turlste.
Atlanta, Ga., May 19. 1904.
The busy season which occupies all
the time of our office force during
Us continuance, is now so nearly over
that we can find time to think of
something else; therefore, we will re
sume our monthly talks with the farm-
era.
Not withstanding the backwardness
of last season and the falling off In
the production of crops, the prices for
cotton have ranged so high as to inure
greatly to the benefit of our farmers.
Those who were not compelled by
business obligations to rush their cot
ton to the market and hence could
afford to bold it for the best prices,
secured better profits than they have
been able to make for many years.
Those, however, who had gone into
debt for their supplies, derived but
little profit from increased prices, be
ing compelled to go early into the i
market to pay the factors who bad
/liens upon their crops.
U would seem that we have here
another lesson on the importance of
home supplies and Independence of
debt. A planter who makes his
farm self-sustaining by raising his own
food supplies for man and beast,
makes his cotton a money crop, and
can hold it long enough at least to
make a fair profit from its sale.
But he who has mortgaged his crop
to procure his food supplies, is at the
mercy of the lender and is often
forced Into the market with heavy loss
to himself.
Our adfice to farmers, therefore, is:
If you would keep prices to a point
where they will bring good profits,
raise your food supplies. Doing this,
you can do much toward controlling
the price.
* CULTIVATION.
The long winter and cold spring
have net been favorable for the ger
mination of crops. Yet the farmers
have had good weather for cultivatig
the crop. Careful attention to this
part of the work from the time of
^tenting to the gathering of the bolls
very Important factor in insuring
'success to the farmer.
To prepare the land well by plow
ing, barrowing and putting In the
fertilizer required by. the soil is not
only very good, but absolutely essen
tial. But bo matter how well that
part of the task may have been per
formed, without careful cultivation, it
profits little.
The exper*«nced farmer knows that
unless his land Is kept open and po
rous, the best fertilizers will give lit
tle benefit to the crop. Hence, good
plowing and hoeing at the right time
have as much to do with success as
good preparation and manuring before
planting.
The .healthy growth of the young
plant Is promoted by frequent and
rapid working* and often deep plow
ing is not only helpful but necessary
in order to pulverize land that was
not completely broken up at the time
of preparation.
Remember, too, what we have of
ten said: Do not let your stalks
come up too close together. From
20 to 24 inches apart is close enough.
Be careful in hoeing not to take so
much dirt away from the young cot-'
ton as to cause danger of its falling '
down.
CORN.
In the second working of corn the
plowing should be thorough and deep. I
The application of fertilizers now., If it |
has not already been done, on each
side of the corn hills in the siding
furrows, will greatly afh the forming
of the ear. j
If pease are to be planted in the
furrows between tbo stalks of com, It ,
should be at the time of the second
working. If the rows of corn ere
widb enough apart, it Is best to put the
pease in the middle.
HAY.
So soon as you have removed your
small grain from the field, sow peas,
adding a small quantity of sorghum
seed 6r corn, which will aid in hold- ;
ing up the f>eas, and wil add value to
your crop of peavine hay. This plan
will aid materlallyjn bhildlng up your
land.
dpiose who have not already mowed
clover, orchard and tall oat grass,
nRild do this work. Do your cutting
after the dew dries. After yru see j
that tho grass is thoroughly wilted*
put It up in cocks, narrow and tall, so
that, the dew will find as little ^ur
face as possible to rest upon.* I
So soon as possible, house your hay.
A dressing of lime plaster and ashes
will help the clover, when Its second ,
growth begins. This Is the time for,
planting millet, corn forage and sor ,
ghum for hay and for foillnfc.
LIVE 8TOCK IN GEORGIA.
There U a steady Improvement in
our State in the selection sod rearing
of live flock. Enterprising farmersj
are no longer satisfied with scrub cat
tle «jd hones, but are stocking their f
farms with the beat breeds. They
do not confine their efforts to selec-
lection, but give great care also to
supplying them with wholesome food
and good shelter against inclement
weather. Our cities and towns afford
splendid merkets for first-class beef,
mutton, poultry and hams. Why can
not our farmers'supply these things?
Fresh beef from the country, fat and
tender, and free from the peculiar
odor and taste often found in cold
storage meats, if the supply could be
made to equal the demand, would be
at a premium over western beef. The
same is true of all other meats.
NEED FOR A VETERINARY
8URGEON.
The growing interest of our peopit
in live stock is one of the best ar
guments for the need of a State Vet
erinary surgeon. The Department of
Agriculture has time and again urged
upon the legislature the importance
of appointing such an officer.
The farmer* who constitute by far
the larger part of the voters of Geor
gia, ought to Instruct their delegates
to vote for the establishment of such
an office.
The Department of Agriculture asks
for no appropriation to meet the ex
penses of such an officer. All we
ask Is permission to appoint him and
pay him out of the funds In our hands.

COTTON jOLL WEEVIL
One of the Present Qreat Pests
of Cotton Growers.
IT8 WIDESPREAD RAVAGES.
Interesting Article From the Pen of
William Newell, State Entomolo
gist on the Mexican Boll Weevil.
Measures for Its Suppression, Etc.
In December, 1903., the State Depart
ment of Agriculture published a short
article upon the Mexican Boll Weevil,
which was widely distributed. So
many requests have recently been re
ceived Regarding this serious pest of
cotton that it is felt that a more de
tailed account of the Insect will at
present prove of Interest to our farm
ers.
The Mexican Boll Weevil has during
the past year (1903) caused a very
heavy loss to the cotton growers of
Texas. This loss for the season is
estimated by Dr. Howard, of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
at approximately 126,000,000. This
represents the loss to the pl«alers,
but the total Ides to manufacturers,
transportation companies and business
men doubtless reaches as much ad
9100,000,000. The extreme probabili
ty that the Insect will eventually reach
all sections of the cotton growing area
in tne United States, and that It is
likely to be distributed In the trans
portation of cotton seed and other ag
ricultural products, makes It of'spe
cial interest to alt cotton planters.
Ail hope of exterminating the In
sect baa.been abandoned, as It has al
ready spread over, a territory which
produces about one-third the cotton of
the United States. Aside from Its
occurrence In Texas* the pest is also
found in Mexico and Cuba. The first
record of its damage to cotton dates
back to 1856, when it appeared as a
pest of cotton in the state of Coahuila
in Mexico. Its ravages Increased for
several years until the culture of cot
ton was entirely abandoned in th»
hope of exterminating the pest. About
twenty-five years alter cotton culture
was again commenced, bat tho weevil
still persisted and soon did as much
damage as before. The weevil gradu
ally spread toward the Texas border,
and as early as 1888 or 1889, had ap
peared near Matamoras, Mexico, near
the mouth of tho Rio Grande river and
opposite Brownsville, Tex. The Rio
Grande river, which Is a wide stream
at this point, soemed to check the
weevil's northward movement for a
time, but in 1892, It appeared near
Hrovv’hsville on the Texas side of tht
river. It is. of course* possible that
individuals were blown across the riv
er by winds, or even flew across, but
in the light of knowledge since ac
quired, it seems more than probable
that the weevils were brought across
the river in unginned cotton, or in cot-
ton seed. Now the country around
Brownsville is not a cotton-growing
section of great Importance, and had
the culture of cotton been entirely
stopped in that section for three or
four years, the weevil could, in all
probability, haye been exterminated.
Tne Government entomologists in
1894 counseled the Texas legislature
to take the necessary steps towards
wiping out the insect, while thin was
still possible, but this advice was dis
regarded. Many similar cases may
be cited where states have failed to
make adequate appropriations for con
trolling insect pests and diseases,
while these were still confined to
email areas, yet when later on the pest
bad caused wide-spread damage and
covered largo area* big appropriation*
have been made in a vain attempt to
remedy the trouble which, could have
been so cheaply prevented in the first
plac.
In 1694 the weevil appeared at
Alice and San Diego, T6x., on the Mex
ican Notional Railroad. _ Its spread
lubsequently has been at an average
rate of sboutt 50 mllea per year, un
til at present it coven nearly all the
cotton-growing area of Texts’ and has
I reached the boundaries of the Indian
Territory on the north and Louisiana
on the east. It has, in fact, already
appeared at two or (hree pointa in
the latter state. That this spread
will continue until all parts of the cot
ton-growing area in tbi* country are
reached, there seems no question. The
problem confronted ia indeed a na
tional one. Not only are the plant
ers and business men In fhe infested
territory affected, but even the cotton
mills of New England and of the ola
worla must sooner or later feel the et
fecta of the increased price of cotton
as a result of *hort crops due to the
weevil attacks. So also will the cus
tomer—the man or woman who wears
cotton clothing—f«?el tb% increased
cost of cotton goods regardless ol
whether he may live in Texaa. Geor
gia, New York or London. The re
cent high prices prevailing for cotton
(although these high prices can he at
tributed to thp work oi the boll wee
vil in part only) have stimulated Eu
ropean countries to develop cotton cul
ture iu their colonial possessions as
rapidly as possible, so it is not improb
able that in future years the United
States will furnish a much smaller
par., of the world's cotton supply than
heretofore. There is a possibility,
of course, that the boil weevil may*
obtain a foot-hold in these new cotton
countries., although the agents of for
eign countries who have been purchas
ing cotton seed in the United States
during the past year, have avoided,
lor ihe most part, the weevil-infested
area.
► WHAT THE WEEVIL 18.
The adult weevil Is a brownish bee
tle varying from three-sixteenths to
three eighths of an inch in length. It
is provided with a long “snout" or bill
and is not unlike the common acorn
weevil in appearance. In color, 4he
boll weevils va'ry from a light gray to
a chocolate brown or J)]ack. As a
usual thing tho older the beetle, Che
darker in color it becomes owing to
the minute hairs wearing off the body.
Tne boll weevil is a not distant rel
ative of the strawberry weevil and the
plum curculio There are many com
mon species of weevils which so close
ly resemble it that the novice cat!
tell them apart only with difficulty.
The cdult beetles pass the winter In
traih, rubbish, cotton bolls, etc., about
the cotton fields, and also In the loaves
and rubbish of timber lands. These
weevils appear In the spring at about
the time the first cotton plants appear
abova the groifnd, and having fasted
since the previous autumn, now feed
to a considerable extent upon the
tender buds and stems of the young
cotton plants Later In the season,
howover* they feed but little in tho
adult stage.
As soon as the first squares appear
the female beetles commenco egg de
position. The female eats a hole In
to the square or form and deposits
an egg therein. This process is then
repeated upon the next square, form
or bloom, and so on. Each female
.deposits from 50 to 76 eggs In this
manner, and with few exceptions eacn
egg is deposited in a separate square
oi foim. ’ .
The egg hatches In two or three
day . after being deposited, into a mi-
nut j footless "worm" or larva which
immediately commences feeding on
the Interior of the square. The square
oi form invariably fails to the ground
at this time, and the larva continues
ils development therein. In from 14
to 17 days this larva reaches full
growth, becoming about three-eighth*
of an Inch in length, and la white and
plump. It now passes into the pu
pal sttgo, still remaining in the square.
During the pupal stage It takes no
food, (Mid this stage lasts from seven
to teuT^ays, at the end of which time
it change* to the adult beetle and
again commences the life cycle. We
thus see that an entire generation of
weevils Is developed approximately
every 3C days during the entire grow
ing season of cotton. During tho win
ter season a large percentage of the
weevlis are killed by unfavorable
weather, by tne attacks of birds and
animals etc-, no that early in the
spring there are comparatively few
of them. Their damage lo the cotton
o*riy In the season Ih, therefore, hard
ly noticeable, but as each thirty-day
period brings an increased generation,
tho wtevll* are abundant enough by
July 15th or August 1st to sting and
destroy every square formed upon
tao rlants. So long aa plenty ot
squares are at hand, the eggs as© de
posited in these in preference to tho
bolls, hut when the weevils have be
came so abundant that the supply of
squares doc* not equal their demands,
eggs are then laid in the green bolls.
Bolls ret early in the summer es
cape injury from the weevil, but af
ter about Ju7y 10th in the wcevil-in-
iesicd district, every square da de
stroyed as fast as formed.
REMEDIE8.
No really satisfactory remedy has
been fou^ for this pest. The fact
that the gpiect feeds very little except
m the lava! stage, and the fact that
this, stage is entrely protected within
the square or boll, makes It Impos
sible to kill the Insects by the appli
cation of arsenical poisons to the
plant*. The first brood which appears
in (he spring—from winter quarters—
feeds to some extent upon the young
cotton plants and some of them can be
killed by applying poison at this Ume<
The adult insect hat a hard and
fidrny covering making It impractica
ble to destroy it by contract insecticide*
However* the government entomol
ogists who have experimented against
this pest extensively the past few
years in Texas have found several
means by which the ravage* of the
pest can be reduced and a profit-re
turning crop made in spite of the wee-
vi*. Those measures are til simple
and can he applied by any farmer. In
the first place no “top-crop" can ever
he mude In a weevil-infested district,
if cattle and mules are turned Into
tiie cotton fields three or four weeks
before the first autumn frosts and
are allowed to eat off the young
squares and forms, a large number
of weevils and larvae will be destroy
ed and a much smaller number will
be left to go into winter quarters.
During the winter a large number ot
these weevils are destroyed through
natural agencies, so (fiat the following
spring they will he quite soarce. From
what has been said above, tho reader
will note that these few remaining will
not become seriously abundant until
July or August. An early variety ol
cotton should, therefore, be planted—
as early as possible—and rushed to
early maturity by frequent and thor
ough cultivations. This will enable
the plants to set a good percentage
of holla before tho weevils become
abundant enough to destroy all the
squares. Thcsb bolls—set early in the
soasou—will constitute the crop, and
theonly crop that will be secured. We
mentioned al*ovo, tho fact that the
aquares, containing weevil eggs, fall
trom the plants soon after these eggs
fcauh Now, if these fallen squares
he kqpr gathered up from the grounu
aud burned, the succeeding broods ot
the weevil will ho reduced in num
ber*. During mid-summer the sun
is ofttimes hot enough to kill the lar
vae in these fallow squares as they
lie or. the ground, provided they are
not shaded by the cotton plants. For
this reason the rows should be planted
well apart, and plants far apart in thp
rows. The rows should also run east
and west instead of north and south
in order that as much direct sunlight
as possible may reach the ground
about the cotton plants.
This method of planting should he
adopted by every cotton planter, even ;
though no weevils are present, for
thtne mothods also reduce the dam
age done by the boll worm and cotton
caterpillar, insects which appear every
year in greater or less numbers.
We do hot hero propose to discuss i
In detail the various ways of combat- !
ing the weevil, as the pest has not
yet been found in Georgia. The above
is given as showing in what direction ,
repressive measures must be taken j
when this pest ultimately appears in
Georgia. |
The hofi weevil in its natural spread .
by (light, probably could not reach 1
Georgia for several years, but unlor- 1
tunaiel) the in.sect may be at any j
time iintroduced in shipments or cot- j
ton seed or haled hif?, or even haled I
cotton, from the Inlcsted districts of j
Texas, or Louisiana. A regulation
(having the torch of law) Is already in
effect, which prohibits tho shipment
into Georgia of cotton seed from Tex
as or Lo ilslana, without its having
been thoroughly fumigated. |
Every farmer in Georgia should
closely watch his cotton during the
growing season, and whenever he finds ,
any new or unusual insect upon his '
cotton, should send samples of it to
the State Entomologist, Atlanta, Ga.. I
(or determination. The latter party
will at all times, Ufke pleasure In j
answering inquiries of thiB kind and
always free of charge. If the first
occurrence ot the weevil can be de- J
tectcd as soon a* it appears and before
it ha* a chance to spread over any ,
considerable area, it may be possl- j
bio by drastic measures to stamp it
out right there and prevent losses of
many thousands of dollars. Onco It
obtain© a good sturt, however, there
wilf he no Mich thing as extermination.
Because remedial measure* have been ’
mentioned above, tho reader should ,
not conclude that the weevil can be
circumvented or that a* good crop*
can lie made when it is present. No
matter what measure* may be cm !
ploycu or remedies used, the cotton ■
crop tx certain to be severely cut
down by the weevil. Then, too,
many remedial measures are expen
sive and their cost must ho deducted j
from the profits of the crop.
\V*i know full well that the flr.s
appbarBneo of (he boll weevil is like
ly to be around cotton mills, oil mills, I
lumber camp:, and along newly con
structed lines of railway, because it
is at such place* that most important
agricultural products from Texa* are
used If a competent^man—or two
men--thoroughly familiar with tho
boil weevil* could be employed to an
nually examine the cotton field* in
these localities. It Is very probable
that the first appearance of the weevil
would be promptly detected and meas
ures could he taken for exterminating
;r, or at least severely checking Its ,
spread. Such measures would mean
the saving of thousands of dollars to 1
the cotton growers of the State, *and j
money so invested would be the best j
insurance which Georgia could pur- 1
chase for the future of her cotton crop, j
Unfortunately,'no funds are at pre* I
ent available tor such work, but Gie |
Slate Board of Entomology stands
reauy to undertake this work aa soon
as the people, through their legisla
ture. deem R expedient to make the
Dfecrs ciy appropriation therefor.

ANALYSIS FERTILIZERS
Letter of State Chemist John
U. McCandless.
SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.
State Chemist Gives Some Valuable
Information to the Farmers Regard
Ing Fertilizers—Complete Analysie
of a Fertilizer.
Now I am in receipt of questions
from several farmers who study the
analyse* in the bulletins, wanting to
know what it is that makes up the bal
ance of the one hundred per cent, in
analysis of a fertilizer like the one
first given which contains:
Per.Ct.
Available phosphoric acid 8.16
Nitrogen ;».ji
Potash 2.30
12.63
What Makes the Hundred Per Cent In
the Analysis of Fertilizers.
They write and say, here you have a
total of twelve and sixty-three hun
dreds per cent., what is tho balance
of eighty-seven and thirty-seven hun
dredths per cent?
We don't understand it, and wo want
to know what this big balance con
sists of. Now there are two ways o(
answering this question; the first la
by giving you tho formula according to
whrch the goods were made, which w
as you remember, one thousand and
fifty pounds or fourteen per cent
acid phosphate. six hundred and fifty
pounds of cotton seed meal containing
six and a half per cont. of nitrogen,
and three hundred pound* of kafnlt
containing twelve and a half per cent,
of potash. Therefore, tho good* In
question will bo found, on reducing
these quantities to percentages to he
compared a* follow*:
Per.C’t.
Acid phosphate 52.6
Cotton seed meal 32.6
Kainlt 15.0
-1 ^ 100.0
There you have your 100 per cent.,
and this is the mixture which gave the
analysis of 8.16 per cent, available
phosphoric acid. 2.11 per cont. nitro
gen, and -2.36 per cent, of potash
There is another way of answering
the question* of those who want to
know what constitutes tho eighty-sev
en and thirty-seven ono hundredths
per cent. That way would ho to muke
a laborious and costly analysis (^de
tail of all the various ingredient*
found in tho acid phosphate, tho cotton
seod meal, and the kainit. That anal
ysis, whon completed, would only grat
ify your curiosity, because the essen
tial element*, which alone are of prac
tical interest, the available phosphor
ic acid* nitrogen and potash, have al
ready been given. I have, however,
made a complete analysis of a fertil
izer, not the particular ono we have
been discussing, but ono very similar
to it, made from South Carolina acid
phosphate, cotton Bccd meal and kainlt.
I give you below a copy of this analy
sis, which you will soo adds up the
full one hundred per cent
During the season of 1902-1903 the
farmers of Georgia paid In round num
bers $9,600,000 for commercial fertil
izers and during the season of 1903-
1904 they have paid on account of In
creased prices, 113,600,000. The sale*
from May 1st to October 1st will make
but a slight addition to these figures.
