Not a Question of Brains.

Have the farmers of Illinois,
Missouri and most of the other
Northern and Western States
more brains than have the farm
ers of Louisiana? Let us see.
They raise all the corn they need
and enough to sell us what we
need. They raise enough meat
to supply themselves and also the
market. They raise mules to
sell to us at $3.50 each. They
raise oats, wheat and all kinds OF
grain products for themselves
and for US. They raise every
thing and sell the surplus to US
at a big profit. They pay $loo
to $3.50 per acre for land to raise
these crops on. People who know
the fertility of the land OF both
sections of the country tell US
that our land is as good IL MOI
better than the Middle Western
lands, and this land can BIZ
bought from S. to $50 per acre

Maintain Confidence.

We are in receipt of an open
letter from DR.. S. A. Knapp,
Agent in charge of Boil Weevil
Investigation to the farmers of
Louisiana. There is nothing new
in it, and it's strongest paragraph
is when it closes:
1T is my firm belief that the
most important work to be done
in all the communities where the
weevil has lately invaded, or is
liable to invade, a section, is to
maintain confidence. 1t is quite
likely that it is better to reduce
the crop a little and raise more
home supplies; this would have
been good advice ten years ago,
1t is also important that o better
variety of cotton, more prolific
and of early maturity should be
planted. The people should make
an effort to raise all home sup
plies and avoid advance as much
as possible. The people should
hold meetings to this effect and
encourage each other in good
work. The most disastrous
thing that could occur is for the
people to attempt, in the midst
of this panic, to abandon cotton
entirely and resort to other crops
and industries. A civilization
can not be changed so suddenly
without tremendous loss, a loss,
in my Judgment, entirely un'
necessary. Wherever our Dem
; onstration Work has been given
! a fair trial and the people have
2 cooperated with our Agents, we
: have been able to make good and

out process, the squares will
come sorapidly that it will make
a crop before the weevils increase
sufficiently to do material dam
age. Of course, in order to make
late cotton successful, it is nee
essary to thoroughly prepare the
land before planting.
"I'realize that it will be a hard
matter to induce everybody to
adopt very late planting; there
fore | am going to suggest an.
other way that I spoke of in my
letter to Mr.. Newell, quoted here
in.
Plant One-tWentleth of the
crop about April 1st; another
twentieth says fifteen days later,
either in small patches, or rows
covering the whole plantation;
then plant the general crop fif-
teen days still later, or say about
May 1st. The weevils will con-
centrate on the first planted,
where an active fight can be
made; those that are not destroy
ed in this fight are likely to be
found concentrated on the sec
ond planting, where they GER
} tainly could be practically wiped
out. Mr.. Newell's method o.
picking up the squares would
undoubtedly have a good effect il
this case, but I think it would b.

They certainly would not make
them, without having thoroughly
demonstrated their claims; there.
fore, in the absence of any better
| think we may safely
accept them as facts, but if we
do, how is it possible to reconcile
them with the advice of these
to plant early? Plant.
ing early means early food for the

haze at on sta1ve;; early planting
means the early production Oft

barren.
Il submit to an intelligent,
and discriminating public, that,
given that the entomologists are
correct in their conclusions as
quoted herein, it is absurd for
them to advise early planting.
my personal Investigations
have proven, with irresistible
force, that Mr.. Newell's state
ment that the weevils will con-
centrate in the most advanced
cotton is correct. Furthermore,
my observations have taught me
that the weevils will not cross a
headland, or a ditch, to leave the
advanced cotton, as long as there
is an abundance of squares upon
| which to feed, and in which to
deposit their eggs.
Mr.. Hill then introduces some
correspondence between him and
Mr.. Newell, relating to success
with early and late planted fields,
The former sees only proof Of
This hypothesis, Mr.. Nov III ex
lplains itotherwise.
Finally, Mr.. Hill says
Now, let US drop the discus
sion,of the entomologists, and d.
a little practical reasoning.

above title, and which descants
on this vexed question as it re-

writer protests thtt he is not

DESTROYS Of contributing his mite
towards the solution of this
vexed question.
He favors late planting and
claims to prove his contention by
quotations from the Crop Pest
Commissions own bulletins, say
ing:
referring again to Circular
No. %, after telling of some ex-
periments to determine the life
| of the hibernated weevil, the au-
thor presents a table showing
the natural mortality. This
table shows a death rate from
natural causes, from April 9th

day; from May 1st to May 9th,
four days, 8 per cent per day;
from 9th to 7th, two days, 10 per
cent; and from 9th to 18th, three
days, a death rate of 10 per cent
Iper day. Mr.. Newell says: from
