CD If weevil are on the young plant before squares appear, pick them off by hand and destroy. If poison can never be used to advantage it is now The average farmer, how ever. will find 1t cheaper and better to pick the weevil than to attempt to posion them.
 (2) As soon as squares form, the infested ones must be picked up and destroyed. The importance of this work, and the necessity of beginning it as soon as there is any evidence of infestation, cannot be too strong ly emphasized. Sometimes this work is begun so late, or is so carelessly done, that many infested squares are left to hatch out weevil and no ap- parent benefit accrues. During wer spells and on alluvial soils this work must be prosecuted with extra vigil ance Squares should be picked up once a week until August 1st On sandy uplands, during periods of dlrouth and great heat, and in seini- arid regions it may be unneseccary to do this work, but not otherwise. It has been proven beyond cavil that in this way, with proper cultivation, good paying crops of cotton may he made even with heavy weevil infes- tation and an adverse season.
 (3) Intensive shallow cultivation should be practiced, except on rich bottom lands, where cultivation may be deep. until squares begin to set freely. From the date of setting squares, however, all cultivation on any kind of soil should be shallow. Cultivate often enough to keep a mulch of loose earth from one 10 two inches deep. This saves m ,is- ture later on. The time to save any thing is when you have 1t.
 Strive to inspire confidence. where it is lacking, by being confident. Confidence begets determination to win and the will to make the neces- sahy seffort

 Planters.

J. E. Rogers, local representative of United States Department pf Agriculture, Bureau of Plant Indus try, has received communication from Bradford Knapp, Special agent Ill charge in which he urges extra vigil ance and effort fin combating ten dency either to over-con fident Or un- due larm over the boil weevil He gives some valuable information to farmers as to how to destroy the in- sect The communication follows:
 TO ALL AGENTS IN BOIL WEE vIL TERRITORY:
 Agents in South Louisiana and Mis- sissippi are now reporting boll weevil and doubtless such reports will soon be coming in from other parts of the infested territory.
 We have reason to hope that in a large part of the weevil belt the emergence will be light. Should this OC ts uC Al VIII US d lHuCn udTMCE LdSh to induce demonstrators and coopera- tors to make vigorous fight on the over-wintered weevil than if the emergence is heavy. Yet, even with a slight early infestation, failure to make such . fight may in the end mean disaster to the cotton crop. On the other hand. where planting was necessarily late, heavy infesta- ton may cause farmers to becocle discouraged more readily than usual.
 Agents are urged to extra vigilance and effort in combating tendency either to over-confidence pr to undue alarm. With normal season any farmer who will adhere strictly tc demonstration methods may have ab. solute confidence in making a good cotton crop this year.
