Dear Sir:-I enclose you copy
Of a letter from DR.. S. A. Knapp,
which explains itself.
l would be glad to have you pub
lish this letter in the interest of
those of your readers who are try
ing to raise cotton.
l have found the weevils very |
numerous since the late heavy
rains, in both hills and bottoms,
but / con6dentally believe, with
Mr.. Knapp, that the weevils nov
In evidence will disappear in few
weeks, and if the squares which
they now sting can be destroyed,
by picking mp aud burning, or by
burning i'll a dust mulch, which
should be maintained III the cotton
middles, that we are sure OF a fair
ly good cotton crop.
Very sincerely yours,
II. l.. BRIAN,
Local Agent.
Washington, ID. T., June 2, 'O9.
To Agents IN Boil Weerit Terri
tory:
Dear Sir:-Reports have reach
ed our Office covering the effect OF
the recent heavy rains on cotton
in boil weevil districts. Ofcourse
the heavy rains have been favor
able to the weevil, and nothing
else could have been expected III
weevil territory than that the
weevil should appear aud be rather
plentiful on the young cotton.
But our experience in this boil
weevil fight is that it is far better
to have a wet period at this time
than later, when the plant is much
larger and the squares more nu-
merous. The farmer is inclined
to look at the dark side of things.
This early rain is rather favor
able symptom than otherwise be-
cause, in all probability, it will
clear off and be warm and dry. In
1907 we had just such period OF
rain trifle later than this. Ii
cleared off and in a few weeks nine
tenths of the weevil, SO far as re-
ported, had disappeared. The
man who energetically clears ou'
his cotton as soon as the weather
permits and strictly follows oul
plan of intensive cultivation, viii
be quite sure to make fair crop
We are not afraid of these earl,
rains; it is the late rain, because
, il the planter now follows our plal
and picks up the squares for
month, the weevils will be prett,
nearly exterminated. In fact, j
everybody would do it the weevi
, would do very little damage. Blu
when there is a period of continu
GUS rain after the plant has nearl.
matured, it is much more diff
cult problem to handle. The su
has less access to the plant aud
is more difficult to secure all tn
fallen squares.
The greatest problem with whic
we had to deal in boil weevil terri
. tory is the hopeless view OF th
farmer. He wants to pillow up hi
: cotton and put In something elss
or he refuses to give his cotton tn
= attention which it requires.
What he needs now is MOI
energy and a determined purpos
! to make cotton crop. If he TO
lows our plans thoroughly he wi
succeed, and in future will mal
: his crop hopefully as Ire did befol
! the boil weevil appeared.
. We are sending you Is copit
! of Circular No. "a" 81, as p'
: sample attached. 1t you wis
. more please order.
: Very tru ly,

corn crop and has about disposed of It's cotton crop at prices higher for this time of the year than for about thirty five years In the industrial centers of New England and the North, labor is well employed with more pay. while capital is so well invested that regular dividends and extra dividends are be- ing declared as result of the flourish ing conditions now in evidence through out the country from the Mexican Gulf to the Canadian line and from the Pa- cific to the Atlantic Ocean. The more seasonable cold weather that has been which promises to continue until real cold weather sets in during January and February. will help trade materi- ally, especially in cotton goods. in the heavy markets particularly, and as tho agricultural sections and the industrial districts have an increased purchasing power, full home consumption of cot ton can be looked for. These condi. tions will place Europe in an awk- ward position as they have yet to ob- tain about 100000 bales to complete their seasons requirements of Ameri- can cotton, a quantity of cotton impos- sible to secure for the reason that American mills if they use as much cotton as last season. 6;oeo.ooo bales. will need about 3.00o,0o0 bales more. which when added to Europe's require ments of about 100000, means a want by the world of 1000, 900 bales balance of the season, whilst the amount yet to be marketed by the South is only about 3,550.000, plus about 1.500.000 at ports and thirty counted towns makes an available of only about 5,050, 900 or about 100000 less than needed"
