Never since the weevil first made bis appearance in this section has he been so nearly conquered. The extreme dry weather that we have had for the past two sum mers and especially this last sum mer has put the few weevils that exist in such a low state of vitali ty that they cannot stand much more punishment. Cotton has just begun to put on a second growth and along with this second growth there wil be squares to form. These forms that are being put on are the source of food for the weevil that goes into winter quarters and it is these weevils that are the beginning of our next crop of weevils. We now have things just where we want them if we will just deal that final blow. The weevil is naturally hungry due to the shortage of food. Cot ton as a general rule continues to fruit right on until fall and later but this year the dry wea ther has shut off this growth that furnishes food and as a result the weevil is in a low state of vi tality. This has been a exceptional season and cotton has opened earlier than it has in a good many years, in fact it has been a long time since the average farmer was through picking his crop before the 15th of October. Why can’t the fanner now as he is about up with his work set in and destroy all of his cotton stalks by cutting, or plowing up. Anything to stop this second growth and to cut off the food supply of the weevil. Not only will he cut off the wee vil but you remember that last ap plication of top dressing made in the spring that was never of any use to your crop. This late growth of the cotton plant isus ing that plant food to make this growth, why not stop this con- GIBSON. GA„ WEDNESDAY, OCT 7. 1925 sumption of fertilizer by killing the stalks. They are ridding your soil of elements that would be of value to the next years crop. This one thing alone would make the plowing up of the stalks a paying proposition. There is no need to feed a plant that will return you no revenue and that is what you are doing when you allow your stalks to stand in the field and make a second growth. Lets put on a extensive cam paign to rid every cotton field of growing stalks for we will have to do it sooner or later. Lets start a war on the weevil now that will practically eliminate him from this section, The enemy is practically conquered d we will only put on the ing touch.

Second growth of cotton only means fat, well fed weevils to go into winter quarters and next spring you can just expect the same old fight over again. There is no need to let your neighbor kill his stalks and you neglect yours. Play fair and lets have a county wide destruc tion of the stains and weevil. C. W. Collier.

With growing acceptance of milk as a food has como an increasing knowledge of the proper care of milk on the farm. Because odors from foods and animals in the cow stable are easily taken up by milk. Injuring its flavor, they must not come in contact with the milk. Re moval of the milk from the stable as soon as possible reduces the amount of dust and dirt entering if and keeps down tho bacterial growth In the milk. Bacteria Increase rapidly In warm milk causing it to sour quickly. ltcf moval of the animal heat from freshly drawn milk by lowering the temperature to that of cold well water (approximately 60° F.), greatly aids in preventing bacterial growth. A well lighted, well venti lated milk house, not too close to the stable, la also very helpful. i Cleanliness in the stable is vitally necessary. The stall platform should be just long enough for the cow to stand comfortably without room to spare; otherwise, the cow will be come dirty from droppings when she lies down. The gutter should Copyright 1929 {Inn Iiofwu at 'Miaul iluibtudry BRING US YOUR JOB PRINTING i TTndonvoo- Keep the Underwood utensils clean. ho wide and deep. A good gutter Is 16 Inches to 18 inches in width and 9 or 10 Inches below tho platform. plen Bedding should be clean and teous. Bong hair on tho flanks, udders and tail above the switch of tho dairy cow should be removed at regular Intervals. Removing this long hair removes the clinging places of dirt which otherwise will fall Into (lie milk pail in quantities. Keeping the hair short on these parts of tho cow permits cleaning in much less lims and more thoroughly. Brush ing should never bo neglected. It removes loose particles sticking to ihe body. When the hair Is short, wiping the udders with a damp cloth just before milking, Is an easy and important aid in securing clean milk. It Is generally recognized that most of the bacteria found in milk finds Its source In dirt clinging to the cow and dropping inlo the pail durihg milking time. Simple pre cautions will practically eliminate this source of bacterial growth and dairymen find themselves well re paid for the little time necessary in taking such precautions. $1.00 PER YEAR QUEEN’S PAGEANT WILL !
