FIGHT ON BOIL wEEviL

Mr. b. L. Galloway, chief of the bu-
reau of plant industry of the agricul-
tural Department, in letter to Con
gressman Gillespie of Texas outlines
the work to be undertaken by the de-
partment against the cotton boil wee.
vii, says the Houston Post.
First, the department. VIII select re-
liable farmers throughout Texas and
Louisiana. to the number of s. 900 or
5000 in Texas alone, who Will each
plant and cultivate a few acres under
department instructions. Other far
mers will be able to observe these
methods and results.
Second, some twelve or hi,teen di-
versifieation farms of thir five to
forty five acres each will be estabhshed d
in Texas for the purpose ofdemonstrat-
ing what crops besides cotton can be
successfully grown. These farms, al
so, will be centers of general obserya
tion and instruction,
Third, the department. will make
special studies in cotton pests in the
hope of originating varieties which
will resist the ordinary diseases
Fourth. the department will breed
early varieties in the hope of securing
plant which will mature ahead oi the
weevirs most destructive period
1t will be seen that all the work
plsn snned is cultural. There is no ex-
pectation of eradicatirg the weevil,
and no time or effort is to be wasted
upon that vain hope Fnmers who
are looking for discovery or inven-
ton to destroy the pest might as well
turn to other crops.
But the department thoroughly be
| lleYeS--and the experience OF the Ias'
few years promises-that cultura
methods will materially reduce tn,
weevil damage and enable the Soutl
to continue to produce cotton in spit,
of the insect
The fight, therefore, becomes
siege for mastery instead of an as
sault for determination On ever,
farm of the south there must be intel
igent study, observation and effort il
pursuance of these general plans
There need be no dependence upol
sovereign cures. Each man for him
self must fight the enemy from season
to season.
1t Is battle of brains against unin
telligent nature, and while nature ca.
not b9 changed in character or effect
effort can be adapted to 1t and It's ev1
can be abatsd just as It's good can b
