such a change the farmers must make
considerable sacrifice.
The weevil fairly knocks the props
from under the credit system. at least
Tor a few years. The tenants and Dor
rowing farmers who are never ready 10
face the new conditions are not able u
meet their obligations in the fall. and
the merchants fail or refuse TO ad-
vance on cotton mex year.
1t is not oar object here TO discuss
the appearance habit and injuries of
the boil-weelil, nor to discuss the ways
n which y is ccmbatted. These things
have been placed before the public re-
peatedly, and any cotton farmer in
North Carolina car get literature IN
he subject by writing TO this Office.
But We do want our farmers TO be
looking ahead and planning the course
they are to pursue when the weevil
gets here. Go ahead with cotton II
you wish. but all the time keep ask
ing yourself: Can l &c this when the
weevil comes? If so. how? and if not.
what can / grew to replace cotton?'
OF course, VT all hope that the boil
weevil may not reach rs. We hope
that If il does reach US il will not be
as destructive as IN the other sections;
but we warn YOU shat we have no
basis for believing that we Will be
Fovored in this way. SO the only wise
course is TO be studying the methods
~ A(&N4il An
IN Mississippi and Louisiana some
farmers have done this nicely. Begin
1ing years in advance, they gradually
turned their attention to other crops
or to hogs or cattle, but kept on
raising cotton up to the very year
when the weeVil was uDon them, and
then they were prepared to drop the
cotton altogether, and make a good liv-
ing from the other things. When the
community settles down TO cotton
again these farmers can return TO
.otton or not, as they wish.
The bll-weevil now occupies I'll Of

Of spraad for the future. it seems
reasonable to believe that it will reach
North Carolina in from 6 to 10 years
that is, from 1915 to 1920. A few
years ago we all thought that 1t would
come more quickly, but while 1t is
coming steadily it has spread only
gradually, without any big jumps. 50

years yet in which to prepare for 1t.
Remember, l do not say that you

1t is our business to be studying the
methods by which we can best meet

keep on growing cotton if that is youI

progress of the weevil, and see TO /
that you are not caught unprepareo
