BURN THE STALKS.
Government Agent Says This Is
the Hope for Next Years


A dispatch from Shreveport says
that Mason Snowden, state agent of
Fairness COOPERATIVE demonstra-
tion work, has issued the following
letter to all farmers in Louisiana:
The state has made a great cot
ton crop in spite of droughts, July
and August rains, army worms,
boil weevils and what not. This is
due to a combination of good prep
aration, good seed, good cultiva-
tion and a state wide fight on the
weevil.
One of the largest factors in the
production of this crop was the
light infestation of the weevil in
the beginning. The light intesta-
ton was due in a large measure to
the sudden and early freeze; Oct.
2S, 1910. This freeze killed all the
cotton stalks, squares and small
bolls. All the weevil larvae and
pupae were killed. All the adult
weevil were forced into Information
in a starving CONDITIONAL food
being destroyed. A light emergence
of weevil followed in 1871 in con.
sequence. This made the weevi
fight comparatively light.
The army worms have done more
good in. the state than harm. They
have eaten all the foliage anc
squares off the stalks, thus pre-
venting a good deal of the late
multiplication of the weevil.
This crop is all open and can be
gathered quickly. Many field:
have been picked clean already.
The farmers have a chance to
more than duplicate the freeze Of
1919; thus guaranteeing a small
emergence OF weevil in the spring
of 1912, because they can repro
duce the same condition the freeze
did, two or three weeks earlier.
Howa BY the early destruction
of the cotton stalks, thus killing all
larvae and pupae, and the conse-
vuent starving of the adult weevil,
The weevil is forced into winter
quarters by cold. If all the food
supply is destroyed they remain
out and starve, looking for food.
Those that live until cold weather
comes go into Information weak
from starvation. Few could live
through to see cotton in the spring
This crop should be gathered a:
rapidly as possible to take advan'
tage of this opportunity, which
means SO much to the crop o
1912.
Cut the stalks, pile and burn a
soon as small limbs, leaves anc
squares are dry. This will make
quick fire. To wait until all th'
wood is dry means the Matching Q

WILL TALK
BOULEVARD
General DUPONT to Discuss
Subject With Trade Board
on Monday
MUCH INTEREST
In THE CITY ROUTE

General T. Coleman DUPONT will at
tend a special meeting Of the Will
mington Board Of Trade on Monday
night when he will discuss the boule-
ward which he is building through the
state.
There will be a discussion on ths
route the highway will take, through
or near Wilmington, and a big at
tendance is expected. Monday night
was fixed by General DUPONT as the
time to take up this end of the mat
ter.
The Board of TRADE some time ago
decided to offer General DUPONT what
assistance it could and the latter in-
timated that he would do his share
toward bringing the boulevard as near
Wilmington as possible, II not through
H. In consequence the outcome of
the meeting is awaited with interest
There does not seem much likeIi-
hood Of the dupont road going through
the center OF Wilmington. BrOOme
street and Union street have been
talked Of but II would cost mucn
money TO get 200 feet right of way
along Broome street. A Union street
right Of way could be acquired much
cheaper Some persons think the
boulevard should touch the western
edge of the city. and then be diverted
along Rockford and Brandywine Park
driveways into the center of the city.
The dupont road surveyors are now
laying tentative lines i'm lower New
Castle county. The first survey is
following part of the old Kings high
way from above Smyrna to Odessa
where II swings to the eastward aud
toward St. Georges. The other sur
veys in the lower part Of the county
have not been started
