that you can destroy the stalks
at the time stated. That has
probably been true in previous
) years, and may be true in your
: section this year, but after sec
ton becomes thoroughly infest-
ed with the Weevils all cotton
that is made is open and ready
to pick by October 18th to Goth
There is no top crop in a boil
Weevll section. It is therefore
only a question of providing the
labor to pick out the cotton
promptly after it has opened.
Farmers all over the State
have spent money for boil wee
VII poisons and on Weeyil catch
ing machines with comparatively
little success. The same amount
OF e''ergy and money expended in
picking out the crop early and
destroying the stalks by November
10Th would have solUed the whole
difficulty for them and insured
them a good crop. Destroying
the stalks early in the fall not
only cuts off the food supply of
adult weevils, thus causing the
bulk of them to starye before
they enter their winter quarters
at the approach Of cold weather,
but it also destroys thousands of
eggs, larvae and pupae in the
squares and bolls. It is the late
maturing weevils, Matching from
the cotton that stands in the
fields until frost, that pass the
winter successfully to.infest the
following years crop.
In spite of all the arguments
that farmers insist on making
against this fall destruction of
stalks, the fact remains that it
is the only solution of the boil
Weevil problem, and in many
sections OF this State it is my
candid opinion that the farmers
must adopt this method or q@it
grooming cotton.
1t is perhaps harder to adopt
all OF the foregoing, known, as a
Whole, by the name of the cul-
tural system, when the farms
are worked by tenants, particu-
larly If they are colored tenants,
THAN where the farms are work
ed by labor or by the owners
themselves. Under the tenant
system, with boil weevils pres
ent, each tenant must be limited
TO the number OF acres OF cotton
which he can care for well and
thoroughly, and which he can
CULTIVATE With the frequency re-
CURED. A part OF the contract
with the tenant would be that
