BOXING PROMOTERS
SAY RACINE WILL
PERMIT BOUTS
Officials of Drexel Club
Doubt Report That Lid
Is Clamped Down.

Racine may be wiped off the fight
map, for the time being, at least. This
would be sorry blow, indeed, for the
Chicago fans were it not for the fact
that each and every one is confident
of seeing the boys with the padded
mits in action at home in the not dis
tant future.
Mayor w. s. Goodland of the Wis
consin city, has yielded, 1t is said, to
the demands of the ministers up that
way and has decided to clamp down
the lid. Racine dispatch indicates
that the mayor has concluded his city
must not be turned into fight center
and wide open sporting town.
Message and Krone, Chicago repre-
sentatives of the Drexel Athletic club
of Racine. are inclined to doubt the
authenticity Of the dispatch and ex-
press confidence in the ability of the
club to stage more shows in the. lake
side, auditorium there. President Blu
dar of the Racine organization they
declare. has been told TO go ahead with
his boxing exhibitions, provided they
are conducted on the same high plane
as heretofore.

to a demonstrates plainly that
the WeeviIs emerge at certain
stated periods, and that the plant
ing at a certain period will pro
vide food and breeding places
also for a certain percentage OF
the weevils coming out OF hIber-
nation.
None of my contentious and
arguments have ever been sue
cessfuIly, if at all, contradicted,
because every one of them is
based on the researches of the
entomologists themselves. When
you consider this fact, does ii
not appeal to you that it alto
gether depends on the farmer
himself and to Him above to de-
termine what percentage of the
May weevils he will eliminate
from depredating on his crop,
and that the planting at a Ger,
tain period will either keep al
May Weevils alive, only one-halt
Of them alive. or will give all OF
them a chance to die, without
any poison or without p~uncturing
a single square.
Planting on April 1, for in
stance, will produce squares on
or about May Is; as a conse-
quence all weevils emerging on
or after May because we take
it for granted that Weevils COM
ing out of Information will live
for a period of 10 days, will be
able to feed on squares, to get
sexually matured and to lay their
eggs in them. Eighty per cent
of the May weevils will be thus
saved from a natural death.
Planting on April Is will pro-
duce squares on about June /.
All weevils coming out of hiber-
nation on about May 20 will
therefore have a chance to prop
agate. Planting at that period
will save the lives of at least one
third of all May weevils.
Planting on May | will pro-
duce squares on about June Is.
On that day all of the May wee
wills will be dead, and even a
part of the 5 per cent of June
Weevils will be no more, so that
you can safely figure that if
planting is done uniformly and
universally on May |, the usual
damage from the Weevil Of 100
per cent caused by early planting
will be reduced to 5 per cent.
Inviting and counting all intel
ligent criticism, and ready to de-
fend every salient statement
made in this article, I bid DR..
Knapp and the cotton planter to
take his choice.

STRONG ADVOCATE
OF LATE COTTON
PLANTING

In my last article, published in
your special New Years issue,
I used the following language:
Il hope to be able to. show,
even to the most dubious, that
the same five parishes which
made so little cotton last year by
planting early, made still less
this year for the same reason;
and the five parishes which made
SO much more cotton by planting
late last year, made again CORE
spondingly more this year for
identically the same reason"
To prove it's correctness, I re-
fer to the report on cotton gin
ming of December 81, 1910, which
gives the ginning in these five
parishes where cotton was plant
ed early again as follows:
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1911-04-08
tab. IS, 217 Is, O69 4,541

Total. 85, 217 49, 69 4,541
which shows, taking the 1908
crop as being 100, that the par
ishes in 1909 made only 21.2 per
cent Of their 1908 crop, and in
1910 only 5.3 Of their 1908 crop.
Is it, in the face of these fig
ures, a wonder that /, who for
years was of the fixed opinion
that even the richest of planters,
if he continued to plant cotton
early on a large scale south of the
thirty-second degree, would go
broke, consider all the Govern
ment's advice-such as prepar-
ing the land, selecting early ma
turing seed, cultivation, fertili-
cation, picking up and burning
of squares and fall destruction
of stalks-all together worth
about one-third of what late
planting counts for toward max
ing a crop? If cotton is planted
early, Is points toward making
a crop are lost to begin with, and
the making of the other Is points
depends altogether on how close
ly and carefully all other helpful
advices offered by the Depart
ment of agriculture are carried
out.
In my last article | also prom
ised to give a full and thorough
explanation why some early
planters once in a while succeed
in making a fairly good crop in
spite of early planting.
The last year, for instance:
Several planters upon Bayou
Rapides planted as early as the
latter part of March, say, on
March Is. Their seed germi-
mated slowly, and they claimed
to have a fair stand on April rs.
that day we had an almost
killing frost. A good deal Of all
the cotton was considered to
have been so badly injured by
the frost as to make replanting
advisable. The acreage of the
planters / have in view, how
ever, did not appear to have
been injured sufficiently to ne
cessitate replanting, but the
of their cotton was set
back to such an extent that, in
stead of putting on squares six
weeks after planting time, March
Is, the making of squares did
not begin until about June 10,
or very closely to the time when
cotton planted on May / com
menced to square.
Now, if you will consult Link
No. /, cited later on, you will
find that the average emergence
of hibernated weevils in May is
equal to SIT per cent Of the
total number of Weevils surviV-
the winter. By consulting
No. 2 you will also observe
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1911-04-08

showing that these five parishes
in 1910 made sc. As per cent Of
their production in 1909.
In order to bring out more
fully the disastrous effect of
early planting in those parishes
south of Alexandria where that
mode of planting was practiced,
it is but necessary to compare
their production in 1909 and 1910
with that of 1908, which is as
follows:

which shows that these parishes
in 1910 produced 4,541 bales as
compared with their production
for 1909 Of Is, 082 bales, or only
% per cent of the previous years
production, while the five par
ishes where planting was done
either late or where the growth
of that early planted cotton
which did not require replauting
was set back sufficiently to give
it the effect of late planting, was
as follows:
