form of earliness needed to permit
cotton to be grown successfully in
WeeyiI infested areas consisted, not
simply in early blooming nor in
early opening, but rather in early
setting of bolls. In other words, the
most successful variety for boll-wee-
vii conditions may be said to be
those which develop large propor-
ton of their bolls to at least the half
grown stage, early in the summer,
or before the later and more numer-
Gus generations of weeyils are at
work. They are comparatively re-
sistant to weevil injury, because boil
weevil is slow to attack bolls of this
size or larger, so long as more imma-
ture forms are available.
Considering varieties now with
special reference to earliness, the
first place is occupied by the King
group. This includes the King vari-
ETY. itself, together with all others
which closely resemble it, notably,
Simpkins and Broadwen.
Since this is the earliest type of
well-known cotton, these varieties
are favorites especially during the
first years of infestation by boll-wee-
wills. However, as soon as farmers
learn to push their cotton crops to
early maturity there is often a de-
sire to change to varieties with
longer staple and with larger bolls.
Among the varieties having larger
bolls that have been successfully
grown in boll-weevil regions are
Triumph and Cleveland Both are
kinds; the same may be said of Cook
1t is believed that Covington-Too
is also early enough for boll-weevil
conditions, but of course, this be-
longs in the big-boll class.
1t is still question of dispute in
the boll-weevil region whether on
the whole the highest success is at
tanned with cottons of the extremely
early small boil type or with those
or the medium early kinds having
larger bolls, which are believed to
De somewhat less severely injured by
WV oSIuSi 'lIlcsChS VI Cuo WGGV11.
Among other varieties reported
from some of the weevil-infested dis
trlcts of Louisiana and Texas as be-
ing a favorite is Rublee The writer
has never tested this, but under
stands that this variety is early and
mas the popularity of dropping
large proportion of it's foliage early
in the fall
1t is prudent for farmers living in
the territory Immediately adjacent to
the boll-weevil area to plant enough
