own part in return, for this Is a
serious matter in which all are
interested? The proposition is
now up to the farmer and he
needs all the help he can get as
we'll as advice. There are two
propositions: First, after the
crop is gathered in the fall, pro
coed to pull the stalks up by the
roots and burn them; then pillow
the lard thoroughly; then harrow
crOSswise two or three times
during the winter months when
many of the weevils will be killed
by the cold or exposure. Then
early in the spring secure some
of the early varieties of seed;
then fertilize the land thorough
ly before or at planting time.
Then bed up your land, plant
early and work late. Then when
the cotton is we'll up and the
bud begins to show look in the
top IF the plant on its tenderest
leaves and you will find some of
the earliest birds-pick off and
kill as many of them as you can.
When the second crop comes
pick up all the punctured
squares, pack them out and burn
or cage them as you like. In the
meantime work and work all the
time with harrow and cultivatOr.
Then in July and August when
the last crop comes you then can
