8. Fertilizers.
1t is not profitable to buy COM
mercial fertilizers for cotton on
the delta soils as they contain an
abundance of nitrogen, phosphor-
us and potash, being deicienu in
organic matter which should be
su oplitd by crop rotation and
lsgumes. A heavy crop of pea
vines is of more value than ten
dollars worth of commercial fer
tilizers per acre. Our best yields
Of cotton are made on peavine
la IDS.

9. Destruction Of Punctured
Forms.
All punctured forms should be
picked up and burned beginning
with the first sign of puncture
and kept up weekly until the
natural shedding Of the cotton
becomes great. In 1909 and 1910
we destroyed forms until August
Ill. By this method you would
lose but little from punctured
bolls by the migrating weevil.
Do not stop to figure on cost.
Our farmers are doing It and
making more clear money raising
cotton with the weevil than be-
fore his appearance.
10. Destruction Of Stalks.
All cotton stalks should be de-
stroyed not later than Novembez

er less than when fatbroken.
Nothing should be burned from
the land that can be plowed un-
der and add organic matter to
the soil. All seed beds should be
made in time to settle before
planting.
5. Seed Varieties.
There are many standard i'm
proved varieties of cotton that
are good. Our experience in a
successful fight of three years
has resulted in the adoption Of
Kings improved, Simpkins'
Broadwell's Double jointed and
Moneymaker. The three form
er varities are similar, small
stalk, light foliage. small boil,
prolific, earliest to make and
open and must be picked early or
it will waste. staple very short.
The MoneymaKer is a stalk of
! greater vitality, good size and
medium foliage, bolls medium
size, nine days later to bloom
than above mentioned varieties
but after this period fast and
prolific, a great favorite on buff
soils. All farmers should. where
it is practical, save their own
planting seed (See DR.. S. A.
Knapp's pamphlet on seed select
ion). Home grown seed possess
advantages over seed grown
from other soils and in other eli
mates. Where properly culled
and saved they maintain their
earliness in making and produce
a stalk Of greater vitality, capa-
BILE Of withstanding adverse
weather conditions and minor
insect pests. They will also pro-
duce a stronger and better staple,
frequently commanding a prem
ium. It is a good business prop
osition from an economic stand
point. You also avoid the dan
ger of innoculating your soil with
the germ of the dreaded cotton
wilt from infected territories.
Plant as soon as danger of frost
is over, on a we'll settled seed
bed with surface we'll pulverized
with harrow.
6. Distances.
Cotton should be given TO
greater distance in width of rows
or drill with the weevil than was
necessary without the weeviI to
get a maximum yield. Width
of rows four to five feet, distance
in drill sixteen to twenty'four
inches. The more fertile the
land the greater the distance.
You cannot depend on sunshine
as there is seldom a time in June
or July when there is not a sLf-
ficiency Of moisture to hatch the
weevil if the form is left on the
ground. A good stand Of cotton
is more necessary with the vice.
vi than without.
7. Cultivation.
In the early stages of cultiva-
ton, the farmer should hold the
purpose rather than the method
of execution in view. AS adverse
weather conditions might inter
fere with his method. but moth
ing should interfere with the
purpose of getting the plant
thinned out, clear Of vegetation
and in a good growing condition
as early as possible, using tbei
implement that will do the most
of and best work at the least
cost. On the fertile soils of the
delta with an excess of moisture,
aggravated by the weevils, in
matdring the early forms the
plant is likely to grow too fast
at the expense Of fruit. 1t is
safe to cultivate at this stage by
blowing close and deep around
the plant, cutting its late a
roots, reducing it's feeding sur
face until the weevils give away|
and the plant begins loading
with forms. AS dry weather

RAISING OF COTTON
Under Boil WeeviI Conditions On
Della Lands.

United States Department OF
Agriculture, Bureau of Plant
Industry, Farmers Cooper
alive Demonstration Work,
Washington, D.. G.
The following suggestions on
"The Raising of Cotton Under
Boil Weevil Conditions on Delta
Lands" are offered for the ben
eft of farmers, planters, mer-
chants and all interested in the
growing of cotton.
l. The Labor Problem.
To raise cotton p%roftably un-
der weevil conditions requires
better farming. To do better
farming requires good labor per-
fectly controlled. Therefore the
labor problem should be the first
consideration.
Do not become demoralized
and let your labor leave. Your
lands are worth but little with
out labor with which to cultivate
it. Keep your labor and see that
every man who is willing to
work and make an honest living
is given an opportunity. Help a
man if he willing to help himself.
2. The Boil Wecvil.
It is necessary for every farm
er to understand the habits and
characteristics of the weevil in
order that he may intelligently
combat him. We are indebted to
the bureau of entomology for
this information. The average
period of life of the hibernated
weevil is about seven months. A
weevil developed November LIST,
1910, would have lived his aver
age period of life by the LIST of
June, 1911, at which time cotton
has not begun forming in the
delta country. We can, there
fore, reasonably expect but a
small per cent of weevil devel-
oped not later than November l
any year would be alive to do
much damage to the crop the en-
suing year. 1t would be only
necessary to destroy all p%unctur-
ed forms and prevent the raising
of new generations until this
small per cent of wintered weevils
died; when the fields would be
clear of weevils as far as mater
ial damage to the yield until the
migrating period about August
10. The Wintered weevil contin-
ues to come to the cotton from
early spring until July l. Al
this period he confines himself to
a small area, not even passing
across a turnrow to another cut,
1t is therefore profitable to you
to fight them, even if your neigh
Dor does not. His travelling is
principally done in the early fall.
After passing through the winter
without food he is so weakened
that he is unable to travel a great
distance in search of cotton. 1t
is the weevil that winters in or
near your farm that infests your
cotton. BY cleaning and burn
ing hedgerows, trees and stumrs
you destroy many of them.
3. Good Drainage.
Good drainage is very essential
in the making of cotton profitab-
ly on the delta soils. There are
three basic benefits from good
drainage l wish to emphasize,
viz: CD 1t permits the air to
penetrate deeply into the soiland
fill the air chambers that were
previously filled With water.
This. aided bylieat and moisture
is constantly converting the in
soluble matter into available
p'a1t food for the next crop. (2)
It enables one to cultivate and in
tsnsively without much loss of
time from rainfall. (3) The soil
warmsIand hastens the plant to
maturity much earlier, which is
very important in the raising of
cotton under weevil conditions.

delta with an c Of moisture,
aggravated by the weevils, in
maturing the early forms the
plant is likely to grow too fast
at the expense of fruit. 1t is
safe to cultivate at this stage by
blowing close and deep around
the plant, cutting its late a
roots, reducing its feeding sur
face until the weevils give away
and the Giant begins loading
with forms. As dry weather
approaches reverse to a flat shall
low cultivation and continue un-
til August Is or later. With the
excessive rainfall and INSULT .ient
drainage it is impractical to en-
tirely dispense with the turnplow
in the cultivation of a cotton
crop on the delta soils. We be-
Elieve that the time is not far off
when we will have a drainage
system of canals and thing and
will then be able to cultivate ex-
clusively with improved imple-
|ments. But until that time
comes We must educate the farm
er to use the turnp.ow intelligent
ly and know when not to use it.
In the cultivation Of cotton with
the turnplow care should be TAX
en- not to use a stick break on
wing to prevent its throwing too
much dirt to the cotton. thereby
breaking the lower limbs.

and 1910 was done with the turn
