seemed that a real stampede was like

Tlie boll weevil is the most destruc
tive iseet enemy of the cotton plant.
In 1892 is crossc the Rio Grande from
Mexico near Brownsville, Texas. Dur
ing the 28 years since then it3 inva
sion of the United States has been
practically unchecked, until nc\v it
coverrs almost tlie entire area cotton
production, only about 115,000 square
miles Using free i f tho past at tlie
close of 1919.
T.ie bi ll is decided menance to the
prosperity and welfare of America.
It presents a problem that must be
met with patience, perseverance and
co-operation.
While the onward march of the pest
httls not been stopped we have learned
by experience how to fight it and if
we all week together, and all act intelli
gently, there seems little reason to
doubt thiat eventually we can almost
if not entirely, eradicate it.
When the right methods are used,
cotton production under weevil con
ditions beccjnes almost normal.
The best methods of fighting tho
weevil are as follows:
1 Pick the cotton Das early in the
full as possible and immediately chop
the stalks and turn them under. Not
only will this return humans to the
soil, but if will deprive the weevil of
its food and force it Into its winter
quarters 111 poor physlcial condition
making it imUkely that It will sur
vivo the winer.
2. Select good seed of early ma
turing varieties. Let your iccal
farm adviser or your agriculture col
lege advise you as to the best varie-
tey for your locality. The earlier
we pick our cotton the earlier we
can plow under the stalks and cut
ff the food supply of the wetvll.
3. Plant as early as the soil is
warm on well drained lnnd
4. Began cultivating early and cul
tivate frequently until picking time.
5. Hunt for and destroy the wee
vils as soon as they appear on the
yof ng plants. When the squares be
gin falling to the gro: nd be cere- delay,
ful to have thorn all picked up nut!
burned. irhis will destroy many
i.f the pests and prevent their spread
io otiber parts of the fisld.
These methods of fighting the
weevil liiEive made 'it possible to
save one of tho greatest of Ameri
can c.ops from total destruction.
Early attempts to poison the wee-
n were far from successful but in
;:I18 the DlUa laboratory at Tallulah
Louisiana, conducted experiments on
'ioO acres of cotton, using calcium
arsenate In tlie fc,nn of a poison dust
■pray. j
Tho results were considered satis
factory and were made public. Last
year mat y cotton growers tried the
plan with such success that it is more
or less generally believed that this
method of combating the boll weevil
pread rapidly,
But the use of a poison spray calls
for properly devised machinery; it
involves ni:*ny details. For these rea
sons It Is advisable that those who de
sire to use the method should secure
i II infirmation from the laboratory
at Tallulah.
The weevil eats nothing but cotton
and goes into winter quarters close
to tlie field, biding in old stuuips,
piles of trash or whatever it can find
protection.
Only a small per ceut survive th*
winter; very few that go into winter
quarters poorly fed live till spring.
Those that do survive, feed on the
buds of the plants from the time the
plants are very young until squares
are formed. WWen the weevil first
appears in the spring, it is very weak
and is easily picked off the plants.
This work Is usually done by children
but a thorough Job will pay big re
turns.
Getting alieaul in making prepara
tions on the farm is as important
as in any other business, therefore it
would toe wise to give consideration
to these »"ggestions without furtt er
