therefore 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 firm ground, giving more
space between the rows. Prepare a
good seed bed before planting and
maintain ridge cultivation through
the season. The foregoing is especl-
ally for lands where, under weevil
conditions, there is an excess of
plant growth.
Fifth. The lands must be we'll
drained and no larger area planted
than can be ~intensively worked.
Sixth. All the supplies of food
and forage must be raised at home
and can be on the lands not planted
to cotton.
Seventh. 1t is practically safe to
make advances in bell weevil terri
tory if the farmer follows Govern
ment instructions.
Eighth. There should be a rigid
system of inspection to see that the
Government plan is followed.
The great drouth and the intense
heat in July and August last year
throughout Texas and Oklahoma
accentuated the Importance of deeper
tillage and more thorough prepare
ton of the soil.

LEGISLATURE HELPS
UNIVERSITY GREATLY.
Passes Pharmacy Btu and Allows
Acceptance Of Pension.

One of the most important bills CON-
corning the University which passed
the session of the legislature is . bill
allowing graduates of the University
Pharmaceutical Department to accept
positions and practice their professions
in this state without the waste of time,
trouble and money incident to standing
examination before the state board Of
Pharmaceutical examiners.
The fight on this bill has been most
bitter and it is with feeling of gratiica-
ton that Chancellor Kincannon and DR..
Faser have returned to that college.
The passage of this bill means much
to the University and to Pharmaceutical
Department.. Since it's inception last
the Department Of Pharmacy has ever
done good work under the able in
struction of DIR. Henry Minor Faser and
has taken rank among the best schools
o it's kind in this country. The priv
leges accorded by the bill recently
passed have been extended for many
years to the graduates of the st. Louis
and Atlanta schools and it Is but fitting
that the State University should have
the recognition due it and the gradual
ing class in Pharmacy, the first from
this institution should should have
their merit recognized by the legisla
ture of theft native state.
Another important measure passed
was that allowing the University to b
placed on the Carnegie Pension Fund
thus allowing instructors to retire whe'
they have served their allotted nunbel
of years, and in the words of Chancello
Kincannon means for the Universit.

importance of having the land we'll
drained SC the 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 devoted to other
crops, because intensive working of
the crop is a necessity. There must
be no weeds and no grass In the
crop.
Fourth. The past season has
added its conclusive testimony in
favor of the plan for making cotton
under boil weevil infestation which
plan, approved by the United States
Department of Agriculture, is as
follows:
/. The destruction of the weevils
in the fall by burning all rubbish
and material in and about the field
which might serve for alternating
quarters of the weevils, and break
ing (plowing) the soil as deep as
conditions will allow.
J 2. The shallow winter cultivation
of the soil if no cover crop is used.
3. Delaying the planting till the
soil and temperature are warm
enough to make it safe.
4. The planting of early.matur-
ing varieties of cotton.
5. 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.
7. The use of the section harrow
before and after planting and on the
young cotton.
8. Intensive shallow cultivation
9. Agitation of the stalks by
means of brush attached to the cul
tivator.
10. Picking up and burning th'
squares that fall under weevil con
ditions, especially during the frs
thirty or forty days of infestation.

LESSONS FROM THE COTTON CROP OF
1910


The season of 1909, while one of
the worst we have ever known, for
the cotton crop in all but the Allan
tic States, taught some valuable
lessons:
First-It demonstrated that a crop
Of cotton under heavy boil weevil
i~nfestation, could be made after
July LIST, provided the farmers pick
up the punctured squares and work
the field intensively. In fact, there
were very few bolls on the cotton
plants in Louisiana and Southwest
Mississippi on July LIST, 1909. The
weather then became dry and warm,
and such as followed the instruc-
tons of the Government Demonstra-
ton Work made a fair crop of cot
ton, both on the alluvial bottoms and
on the hill lands, and the planters
who failed to follow such i1struc-
lions made very little. Louisiana
has always had years of a short cot
ton crop, due to adverse weather
conditions. The crop of 1905,
though practically unaffected by the
weevil, was only 5ll,739 bales,
which is less than half the product
of 1904. Owing to loss of labor
! and fear of the boil weeviI, about 80
per cent. less than normal acreage
was planted to cotton in 1909 and
when practically no cotton was
made up to July 1st, such was the
alarm that a large area of cotton was
plowed up and planted by some
other crop. The amount plowed ul
or abandoned is estimated by good
Judges at forty per cent. But allow
that it was twenty per cent, deduct
ing from the probable crop in such
a season, to wit, 5l1,738 bales, tht
thirty per cent. not planted an6
twenty per cent. plowed up or aban
doned, and the crop of Louisiana
without allowing anything 70
Weevil damage, should have BEEF
, about 286, 574 bales. As far as cal
; be ascertained the crop was abou
10000 bales. This clearly prove
that the fright is more damagin;
: than the weevil.
The second item emphasized b
: the experience of 1909 is the impol
lance of picking up and burning th
) p%unctured squares. There neve
had been any question but pickln
up the squares in the fore part {

The Grundens were one OF the old

were an old family too. Neither family
