BARRETT ON
BOIL WEEVIL

Charles S Barrett, president of
the National Farmers Union, in
his weekly letter to the officers and
members of the union, declares that
it is little short of criminal folly to
await the actual advent of the boil
weevll before starting a campaign
against the pest. His letter fol-
lows:
Reliable and non-aarmist experts
calculate t h cotton boil weevil
will cover the entire cotton belt
within five years. 1t will probably
be in Georgia in the fall of 1912,
perhaps sooner.
The ostrich h-head-in the. sand poll
cy is foolish, almost to the point of
crinlnality. 1t is better to face
facts now than to suffer the pen
atty later.
Southwestern cotton States have
by the loss of many million dollars,
discovered the most feasible methods
yet devised for combating the boil
weeviI. Their experience is ours
for the taking.
Unless the portion of the cotton
belt as yet untouched by the boil
weevil takes steps in time the ad'
vent of this insect is going to pro-
duce temporary panic by wholly de-
ranging cotton culture, as yet the
financial backbone of the Southern
States.
deem it my duty to issue these
plain warnings, and to urge every
farmer in the territory likely to be
affected to go about putting up de-
fenses this year and without delay.

stations, of the Federal department
of agriculture. Roughly speaking,
they are few and simple. They
consist in using an early maturing
variety o cotton, that the crop
may be gathered before the boil
weevil has attained its greatest
power for damage; intense cultiva-
tion, which will produce a maxi
mum fiber to the acre; burning over
of old fields after the crop is gather
ed; and above all, cultivation Of
other crops not susceptible to the
weevil.
The Farmers Union News, pub.

published statistics showing that
Georgia spends annually for pro

HOW TO UTILIZE
THE SURPLUS FRUIT

Recently ! received a letter from
a woman farmer in this state.
This woman, judging from her
letter is studying farming and en-
deaVOring to find solutions for the
great problem which confronts our
farmers.
She has been trying to get away
from all-cotton farming. Hence
she produces a variety Of farm pro-
duets, but she has been unable to
dispose of some of these products al
profit. She says that often the
freight and commission eat up what
little profit there might be. A
other times, the market is glutted
She contends that her neighbor wht
is an all.c0tton farmer, is realizin!
greater profits from his system o
flaming than she is able to realiz'
from her system of farming. Yet
she feels that her system should re
turn the greater per cent of prof
and she is right.
