DESTROY COTTON STALKS EARLY
TO STOP BOLL WEEVIL’S RAVAGES
mlt that he stacks up with him In the
matter of being a “regular fellow',” bnt
you would hardly say that “He wbo
loses cheerfully loses twice."—Moul
trie Observer.
Atlanta, September.—(Special)—
Pick out all your cotton and destroy
all stalks, if possible, at least thirty
dayB before the first killing frost,
urges the Georgia State Board of Em
tomology; for only In this way can
the ravages of the Mexican cotton boll
weevil be effectually checked in the
coming season.
Stalk destruction should be begun
by October 15th and pushed just
as rapidly as possible; for It Is the most
Important single thing that can be done
la effectively fighting the weevil, says
State Entomologist E. Leo Worsham.
Proven By Results
Results this year show, Mr. Wor
sham states, that whero stalks were
destroyed early last fall, and where
other Instructions were followed In the
spring, growere made a good crop of
cotton In spite of the boll weovll.
Dr. W. D. Hunter, cotton expert of
tho United States Bureau ot Ento
mology, nays: “Fall destruction of
weevils, (by destroying the etalke,)
Ineures u crop for tho following sea
son."
The five following reasons are given
for the Important fall destruction of
cotton plants:
1. Hordes of adult weevils, many
for each plant In the field, are killed
outright
2. Many more weevlle that are In
tho Immature stages, sometimes as
many ss a hundred for each plant In
the field, are alao Wiled.
3. The few adult weevlle escaping
will be weakened by starvation. Most
of them win be too weak to paea
through tho winter. ' . ,
4. Tho development of tho late
broods, which furnish *ha treat ma
jority of weevlle that pace through tho
winter, I* cut off Immediately.
8. 6eetruetlon of tho lnfeeted
plants with the weevlle fscllltatee feM
or early winter plowing, which lo al-
way* good In eoiton raising.
Importance of Seed Selection.
One of the next moot Important
things after fall stalk destruction, is
careful seed selection, about which the
department has already given advice
In the state press. The use of good
seed, and of pedigreed seed where ob
tainable and the destruction ot stalks
In the fall, are tha two most Import
ant items In boll weovll control. Every
farmer should be.assured as to the
quality of his seed for next season.
Any who are Interested should write
to the Georgia State Board of Ento
mology, State Capitol, Atlanta, Ga.,
for bulletin No. 48 on seed varieties,
and No. 47 on controlling the boU
weevil. These will be of material help.
The best way to beat the boU wea 'l
Is to give him nothing to eat, and
rise everything that anybody else eats
TbomaavlUe Times.
EVERY GEORGIA FARMER SHOULD
PLANT SOME WHEAT THIS FALL
Atlanta, September.—(Special.)—
The continued and persistent high
prico of wheat and flour, and the pros
pect that the same heavy demand Is
going to continue for a long time to
come, should encourage every farmer
to plant all the wheat he con attend
to this fall.
The Georgia State Board of Ento
mology, In urging all farmers to plant
wheat, calls attention to certain facta
that must be taken Into consideration
to insure success.
The Heoslan Fly.
In the first place there la tha lies-
alan Fly, which Is the boU weevil of
the wheat crop. This Insect disap
pears only at killing frost, so that the
only safe way Is to delay planting of
all wheat, rye and barley until after
the first killing frost Where the grain
Is planted solely for grazing purposes
only. It Is not necessary to wait
The next most Important thing Is to
take precautloa against “smut” All
->ed should be treated for smut ho
ur,, planting. The fcpst and cheapest
The Way To Bent The Boll Weevil.
treatment is that with formaldehyde,
which may be u^d at a cost of not
more than 5 cents per acre.
How To Treat For 8mut
The grain should first be cleaned
thoroughly with a fanning mill so that
smut balls, shriveled grain, chaff, eta,
will be removed. After the grain Is
clean It may be spread on n floor or
n tarpaulin in a layer or pile several
Inches thick and sprinkled with a solu
tion of formaldehyde made by mixing 1
pound of commercial formaldehyde
with 45 gallons of water. An ordinary
sprinkling can or n spraying machine
Is used and the grain Is shoveled over
and over until every kernel la wet. The
grain la then placed In a pile and cov
ered with sacks, blankets, or a terpau-
Hn for two nours or overnight It Is
then dried sufficiently to be run
through the drill, after which It may
be sown. If the grain Is not passed
through a fanning mill, Itatyold be
placed in a vat or tank of theifonnal-
debyde solution Instead ot being sprin
kled. The smut balls will rise to the
surface and may be skimmed off.
