the case to any appreciable extent.
This season has been an exceed
ingly unfavorabIe one for the cot
ton planter; excessive rainfall at

usual drouth at another with more
than normal infestation of the wee
vii all the time up to this date, ex-
cept in few limited area. Our
demonstration work has proven
that a good crop of cotton can be

ditions, but 1t Is unfair for one
farmer to winter over weevils to
destroy his neighbors' crop. We
trust that the farmer will not only
DESTROY his own stalks but use his

of his neighbours. We urge that

WAR ON BOIL wEEVlLs.
The Early Destruction of the
Cotton Stalks Necessary.

Without question one OF the
most important things to be done
in reducing the number of weevils
so that crop of cotton can be sue
cessfully made is to destroy the
stalks in the fall. not later than
the 10th of October if possible.
This has been so fully demon
strated by the Bureau Of Entomol-
ogy that il does not require discus
sion here. The practical difficulty
has been that in most years the
cotton has matured so-late that it
was impossible to get any thing
like a concered movement among.
the farmers to destroy tbs cotton
stalks early enough to be of much
value. This fall is an exception.
In the entire cotton belt the cot-
ton is maturing so rapidly that it
will be possible for the farmers to
make a general movement to de-
stroy the stalks. It is of com para
lively small value, i'll SO far as the
general effect is concerned. for a
few farmers to carry ont this pol
icy, but if 1t is possible to induce
so many farmers to enter into
the movement that it practically
becomes universal. so many wee
wills can be destroyed thatit will be
easier to make a crop next year.
We therefore recommend that
public meetings be called in every
county and parish In the cotton
states with the weevil and a strong
public pressure be brought to bear
for the universal destruction of the
cotton stalks before the 10th OF
October, or earlier If possible 1t Is
not necessary here to go into de-
tails for cutting and destroying.
Every farmer knows how that Is
done. As soon as the stalks are
destroyed, deep fall-break the
land, then a little later burn all
the rubbish and grass surrounding
the field. In that way almost the
entire crop of weeviIs will be de-
stroyed. It should be understood
that the weevils that come out the
following season and do damage
i are those that mature late 10 the
season aud IL there is no cotton
left standing it will be SO long be-
fore winter that the weeviIs must
die. This advice for destroying
the stalks should apply also to a
distance of at least fifty miles In
advance of the present infestation
OF the weeviI SO that If any large
number should leave the infested
territory and migrate In the fall al
usual, we shall catch them In their
new camping ground.
II was supposed By some that
the late hot weather would SC
materially reduce the nunbel
| of weevlIs that some late crops
