piano and began paving the ivories''
with unusual ardor While he was
playing, his daughter came TO the
room with companion. Daddy, stop

he should cease entertaining himself.
The little girl was not inclined to ex.

fine scorn. well, If they don't like

VALUABLE LESSONS
FROM COTTON CROP
DR.. Knapp Presents Some Conclusions
On the Subject of Last Years
Cotton Sicld.

Washington March l5.-Dr. Seaman
A. Knapp, head of the farmers CO
operative demonstration work, has is
sued the following bulletin:
The season of 1909, while one of the
worst we have ever known for the
cotton crop in all but the Atlantic
States, taught some ,aluable lessons:
|. 1t demonstrated that n crop OF
cotton under heavy boil weevil in
festation, could be made after July 1,
provided the farmers pick up the pune
tured squares and work the field in
few bolls on the cotton plant in
Louisiana and southwest Mississippi
on July 1. 1909. The weather then be-
came dry and warm, and such as fol-
lowed the instructions of the govern
ment demonstration work made a fair
crop of cotton, both on the alluvial
bottoms and on the hill lands, and the
planter who failed TO follow sucn in
structions made very little. Louisiana
has always had years of a short crop.
The crop of 1905, though practically
unaffected by the weevil. was only
51l, 73S bales. which is less than half
the production of 1904. Owing to loss
of labor and fear of the boil weevil,
about 80 per cent. less than normal
acreage was planted to cotton in 1909
and when practically no cotton was
made up to July /, such was the alarm
that Il large area OF cotton was plow-
ed up and planted with other crops
The amount plowed up or abandoned
is estimated by good judges at 10 per
cent. But allow that is was 20 per
cent, deductng from the probable
crop in such a season. to wit. 5li ,I3S
bales, the 30 per cent. not planted and
so per cent powcd up or abandoned
and the crop OF Louisiana. without al
lowing anything for weevil damage.
should have been about 2S6,574 bales
AS far as can be asCertained the crop
was about 270,000 bales This clearly
ing than the wecvil.
,. This item emphasized by the
experience OF 1909 is the Importance
of picking up and burning the pune
tured squares. There never had been
any question but picking up the
squares in the fore part of the season
would check the weevil, but it was
proved in 1909 that it was effective
after the field was fully infested if
rapid cultivation was continued.
3. This item of value demonstrate
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1910-03-16

ed by the season Of 1909 is the import
so that crop can be worked as soon as
the rain ceases. Under boil weevil
conditions the heavy black land and
the poorly drained fields should be de-
voted to other crops, because Inten-
sive working of the crop is neces-
sity. There must be no weeds and no
grass in the crop.
4. The past season has added its
plan for making cotton under boil Wee
vii infestation which plan, approved by
the United States department of agrl-
culture, is as follows;
L. The destruction of the weevil in
the fall by burning all rubbish and
material in and about the field which
might serve for alternating quarters
of the weevils, and breaking (plow-
ing) the soil as deep as conditions will
allow
,. The shallow winter cultivation of
the soil if no cover crop is used
3. Delaying the planting ill the soil
and temperature are warm enough to
make it safe
A. The planting of eary-maturing
varieties Of cotton.
b. The use of fertilizers.
6. Leaving more space between the
rows, and on ordinary uplands having
a greater distance between plants in
the row than is usually allowed.
I. The use of the section harrow be-
fore and after planting and on the
young cotton.
8. Intensive shallow cultivation.
.. Agitation of the stalks by means
of brush attached to the cultivator.
10. Picking up and burning the
squares that fall under weevil CON
ditions, especially during the first 20
or 40 days of infestation.
III. Controlling the growth of the
plant if excessive by deep and close
cultivation while the plant is young.
-. Selecting the seed.
l3. The rotation of crops and the use
of legumcs.
1t will be noted that the system, as
outlined, has a two-fold object: Cd To
reduce the number Of weevils and C2)
to aid early maturity. The foregoing
methods may require modification to
suit the soil and climate. Where
there is too much food and ii surplus
, of moisture available for cotton in
pny soil, common sense dictates that
these conditions should not be increas-
ed by deep fall breakings. We there
fore advise the following plan under
boil weevil conditions on such lands :
Burn all the cotton stalks, and after
the weevils have gone into winter
quarters burn all the rubbish in and
about the field as early in the fall as
possible. In the spring, bed on the
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1910-03-16

firm ground, giving more space be-
tween the rows. Prepare a good seed
bed before planting and maintain ridge
cultivation through the season. The
foregoing is especially for lands where,
under weevi conditions, there is an
excess of plant growth.
3. The lands must be well drained
and on larger area planted than can
be intensively worked
6. All the supplies of food and forage
must be raised at home and can be on
the lands not planted to cot.on.
Z. 1t is practically safe TO make ad-
vances in boil weevil territory if the
farmer follows government inscruc-
tions.
s. There should be rigid system of
inspection to see that the government
plan is followed.
The great drouth and the intenso
heat in July and August last year
throughout Texas and Oklahoma ac-
centuated the Importance of deeper
tillage and more thorough preparations
of the soil.
| ask every agent of the farmers
cooperative demonstration work and
every farmer in the Southern states
to do his best to make a banner crop
of all farm staples in 1910.
