ciaI Agent Moss.
The following has been given out
heres
To All Farmers in Boil Weevil Terri.
torya
The fight against the weevil has
not progressed far enough for its ef-
fectiveness to become fully apparent.
But one lesson has, or should have
been, impressed on the man who has
been compelled to pick closely the
weevils and punctured squares in his
field, and that is the urgent need OF
so reducing the emerging weevils as
to minimize the expense and trouble
of picking them.
The only way to do this effectively
is by burning all cotton stalks be-
fore frost in the fall.
Hundreds and thousands OF weevils
have appeared in the fields in weevil
sections this spring, and the expense
and trouble of picking them has often
been a very considerable item. How
ever, it was one of the effective means
of fighting the pest, and every farmer
who has carefully followed this prac-
tice will profit by it.
BY destroying your stalks in the fall
at a cost of so cents an acre, you can
very greatly reduce the cost of pick
ing weevils and punctured squares In
the spring, and practically assure
your cotton crop.
Further, the expense of picking the
weevils this year has been compare
lively light, on account of our very
cold winter BY June 20 this year,
following a cold winter, only 4 per
cent. of over-wintered weevils had
emerged from ~hibernation: while one
year ago, followed by a mild winter,
over 20 per cent, or five times as
many, had emerged by the same date.
Hence, where stalks are not de-
stroyed the average expense of pick
ing weevils and squares will very like
ly be much greater than this year.
We are always going to make cot
ton in Mississippi, but the sooner the
| grower realizes that a smaller acre
| age, fall destruction Of stalks and
| picking weevils and squares, and rap
id, intensive methods are essential
| the better it will be for all concerned
