md advice of Texas and Louisia-

Many people in this state think
that the boil weevil will be with us
for few years and then pass on
or disappear. This is entirely an
erroneous idea for there are abso-
lutely no grounds for anyone to
think this will be the case. The
boil weevil is here to stay. 1t will
gradually spread all over the cotton
belt and remain with us Indefinite
ly.
Experience has shown that the
most practical means of reducing
the damage done by the weevil to
a minimum is by using what is
known as the cultural system
worked out by the bureau of en-
tomology of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. The first
and most important step in this
system is to destroy the cotton
plants in the fall. The earlier the
better. There is a reason for this.
We know that the weevils feed
only upon the cotton plant and it is
in the adultsstage that the weevils
hibernate. If the cotton plants are
destroyed early in.the fail; say &C.
tober, the weevils will have nothing
to eat during the remaining time
before cold weather sets in, and in
consequence they will be in a
weakened condition and great
many of them will not have vital
ity enough to pass through the
winter. The individuals that live
through the winter are the ones
that lay the eggs for the first gem
Grafton in the spring therefore, the
fewer to live over winter the less
damage done the following season.
If there are about four generations
each season and each adult female
lays over one hundred eggs, it is
easy to say that one female passing
through the winter alive may be
the ancestor of millions in one
season. The numbers increase
rapidly towards the end Of the
season, therefore, the second step
III the cultural system Plant
the cotton as early as possible.
time may be gained by blowing in
the fall. Anything that will aid
early planting should be done.
Not only should we plant early
but we should use early maturing
varieties of cotton. The agricultu-
raj experiment station is testing
different varieties of cotton and can
recommend the earliest maturing
varieties. Anything that will aid
early maturing of the cotton should
be done, such as frequent cultiva-
ton and the proper use of fer
tilizers.
J" The boil weevil has been a bless
ing in disguise in many Parts of
Texas. 1t has forced the farmers
to keep in touch with the latest and
best methods of farming through
the agricultural press and the agri-
cultural colleges and experiment
stations. These things have ten
ded TO educate whole communities
and to bring about diversifcation of
crops and intensive methods of
farming. Many who formerly rails
ed only cotton have gone into fruit
growing, trucking, dairying and
grain growing and are making more
money than they ever smade from
cotton.

glad to serve you, ! am,
