Weevll is going to reduce the cotton
yield Of every Southern State from
one-third to one-half that some sub
st1tute must be found if the soil is
to continue to be a reliable source
Of wealth. There is. moreover, no
denying the realness Of the menace
1t is estimated that within two years
at the fartiaest the boil weevil will
appear in Georgia and from Georgia
it is destined to invade every Other
cotton producing State, unless some
new unforeseen measures can be dis
covered. Science so f1r has failed
to find any means for definitely e<-
terminating the Weevil The one
proven hope as demonstrated in Texas
and other infested States is in the use
Of such early maturing varieties Of
cotton as will enable the staple to
be harvested before the weevil has
reached it's maximum power Of de-
struction. In other words, the prob
lem is reduced to q race between
the weev1 and the farmer Other
palliative methods are the burning
oyer of fields in the fall and the
aba nd onment Of infested districts un-
til the Weevil shall have been starved
into surrender.
Perhaps the most practical method
lies in combining the use Of early
maturing cotton and intensive culti-
vation, with the giving over Of large
percentage of the Southern acreage to
such crops as are immune to the
Weevii. Fortunately, the range of
Southern soil and climate make COM
paTatively easy these sweeping re-
adjustments in our agricultural sys-
tenn. Corn, wheat oats vegetable

either through a large accumulation
of organic matter. poor drainage or
insufficient aeration brought on by
poor preparation aud cultiva ton, or
applications Of lime to soils which
have been allowed to get into sour
condition change the yields OF corn
in one year from complete failure
the previous year to splendid yields
the year following the appi cation OF
lime In cases like this--fnd there
are many such soils in the State
the chemical and physical conditions
Of the soil were such that, although
the soil had abundant plant food for
large yields for many years, yet ord1-
nary crops like corn would Lot grow
to any extent until these cond 'tions
were made suitable for their growth.
When lime was added it neutralized
or destroyed the acidity Of the SOIL
and at the same time improved it's
physical and chemical condition and
tent that afterwards for years the
yields were good. Here the benehclal
results are largely due to the 1aVora-
BILE action Of the lime on the soh
rather than in supplying lime as plant
food to the crop. In addition to sup

1t is true that prior to the Civil War
feed stuffs and used it's cotton as a
means to bring revenue in from the
outside. But with the npheaval fol-
lowing the Civil War this well-bal-
anced method was more or less
abandoned and until recent years the
ready money value of cotton has
warped the Southern imagination to
the exclusion Of other staple prod
ucts.
Within the last decade constant and
wholesome agitation, reinforced re-
Gently by the campaigns of the Farm
ers' Union has modified this cOndi-
ton and caused the Southern farmer
to turn more largely to the produc-
ton OF food crops
To an almost controlling extent
however. cotton is still the backbone
Of the agricultural South, a fact that
is more conspicuous in the eastern
than in the western half of the sec
ton.
It is this condition that intensi1ies
the menace Of the boil Weevil Any
influence that threatens to reduce the
cotton output Of a Southern State by
one-third or one-half is an influence
Of a most revolutionary nature. And
such are the dimensions Of the tribute
taken by the Mexican boil weevil.
From Washington and from the va
rious capitals Of the Southern States
warnings regarding the Weevil have
multiplied during the past four or
five years But there are evidences
that the farmers of portion Of the
gulf and ali Of the South Atlantic
States are not taking seriously the
nature Of these warnings.

The Boil Weevl Real Menance-W( Reduce Cotton Yield in
Every Southern State

To the Officers and Members Of the
Farmers Union:
In the eastern half of the Southern
States there is a noticeable apathy
among our farmers to one Of the
greatest menaceS in the history Of ag-
riculture--I refer to the steadily en-
croaching Mexican boil wcevil.
Had this visitation, which in it's
drastic destruction OF values is entitled
TO rank With the plaques of Egypt,
first shown its head in any of the
trained and disciplined nations of Eu-
rope, the concerted wealth and Skill
OF the threatened government would
have been mustered to stif1e the dam
ger.
Had the officials of the German
empire. for instance, received word
that this tiny pest had crossed. or
was about to cross, the Russian from
tier they would have stamped out the
danger at its very start.
In the South we have been al
most criminaliy Indifferent Not un-
til the boil weevil had gained a
virtually impregnable foothold in the
State Of Texas were either State or
Federal officials reused to the enorm-
ty OF the peril.
Now that it has spread over large
portions not only of Texas, but as well
OF Louisiana and Mississippi. with
premonitory manifestations even in
Alabama, the farmers Of these States
begin to recognize the fact that their
entire agricultural system is in a state
Of siege.
The practical world monopoly Of
cotton production heretofore enjoyed
by the Southern States has created
an agricultural system in this sec
ton with cotton as it's spinal column.

USE OF LIME ON THE SOIL

because OF q misconception as to
the action Of lime there is much mis-
use OF lime by goodly number of
farmers In many cases where mark
ed results have followed the use of
this material the conclusion has been
drawn that it il the only one that
needs be added to the soil in order to
secure large yields annually thereafter.
Such q conclusion is not just fled by
the facts In the case. and il this
material is used and depended upon
entirely it will be found in time th7t
the beneficial results will gradually
grow less. There is no truer saying
than that the indiscriminate use Of
lime enriches the father but beggars
the son if il is depended upon solely
LOT average soils. It should be re-
membered that, although LIME is as
essential for plant growth as phOs-
nhoric acid. nitrogen and potash. it
is not able to replace any one Of
these nutrients in the promoter of
plant developm ent.
Under What Conditions Use.

crops as corn, cotton and the small
