Getting the Best of the Boil Weevil.

w e ADVISE that no section recently or
place much hope in the occasional reports
which reach that after they have infested
section for few years they do little harm and
that they actually leaving some of the sections
first infected
That the weevils do less harm after a few years.
and that they are even present in smaller num-
bers after they have infested place for a number
of years than during the first few years of their
attacks, is probably true; but there is little in the
facts and history regarding their work in this
country to justify any extracting much hope
OF making cotton proftably according to the old
and common methods after the boil weevils once
make their appearance.
That people make cotton proftably after the
boil weevil has been with them few years and
that some few even do it during the first years of
the weeviPs presence, is pretty good proof that
all could do it If they would make cotton in the
right way. The best way to make cotton under
Doll Weevil conditions is the best way TO mako
cotton before the boil weev comes. There il M
secret IN making cotton in the presence of the
Doll WeeVll and no newly discovered methods NJ
cotton culture are used. The methods that ara
most successful are just those which the best cot
ton growers nave been using and which we have
ADVISED for the last fifteen years. The difference
is simply that the boil weevil makes the adontion
OF these better methods necessary and lessons the
yield even when they are used, but not to sucb
an extent as to make cotton growing Improbable.
