Carefully observe the effects of early
and late planting. There are hun
dreds Of facts concerning the boil
weevil that each farmer should find
out for himself in order to more intel
ligently meet the situation and to
continue to raise cotton on a profit
able basis.
The leading authorities upon the
boil weevil all agree that one Of the
most important steps in the control Of
this insect Is the destroying OF the
stalks early In the fall.
AS soon as the weevils become SO
numerous that practically no more
cotton will be produced, destroy the
stalks so as to kill many ofsthe insects
and to cut off the food supply of the
others Hasten the picking Of the cot
ton, and as soon as 1t is picked out
destroy the stalks. The earlier the
