KILL BOIL WEEiHILS
Necessity Of Reducing Number OF
Insects Very Urgent.
Most important Step in Producing Cot.
ton as Found by Experimenters Is
Destruction of Foliage and
Squares.

(By G. H. AFFORD, Special Agent Of the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
Work, Jackson, Miss.)
This is lesson No. one, and it should
be thoroughly learned. The need of
so reducing the over-wintered weevils
as to reduce the cost and labor of pick
ing the weevils and punctured squares
to the minimum is very urgent.
There are four methods of reducing
the number of weevils to the mini
mum: First, completely denude the cot
ton stalks of foliage, squares and
bolls, the weevils sole food supply,
pillow the stalks under good and deep,
or burn the stalks at the earliest DOS
sible moment in the fall Second, at
some time during the winter, destroy
the rubbish in and about the fields
which might serve as alternating
quarters for weeviIs. Third, when the
weevils appear on the little cotton
in the spring pick them off and destroy
them. Fourth, pick up the punctured
squares and destroy them for at least
one month after the first squares form
on the cotton.
The results obtained by the United
States bureau of entomology, the farm
ers' demonstration work, the Louisi-
ana State Crop Pest commission and
thousands of successful farmers point
to the supreme Importance Of the early
fall destruction of the boil weeviTs
sole food supply, the squares, small
bolls, and foliage on the cotton stalks.
The conclusion reached by thousands
of eXperimenters Justify me in making
the statement that the most impor-
tant step in producing. cotton in boil
weeyil territory is the early fall de-
struction Of the foliage, squares, and
immature punctured bolls on the cot
ton stalks. In fact, | feel almost JUS
titled in saying that the early fall de-
struction of the cotton stalks outbal-
ances all other remedies that may be
employed to destroy the weevils.
In an experiment performed by the
Bureau of Entomology in Calhoun
County, Tex, the stalks growing on
40 acres of land were destroyed early
In October. Careful records kept dur
ing the following season showed that
the destruction of stalks on this land
increased the yield $1456 per acre.
An experiment was conducted on OBJ
posite sides of the Guadaloupe river
near Victoria, Tex. The stalks were
burned on one farm the latter part of
Septen Der, and on the other they were
allowed to stand until in spring before
planting time. Forty acres on the
farm on which the stalks were de-
stroyed made Is bales. Forty acres
on the other farm made and 1-2 bales.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1912-03-23

There are three methods OF destroy
ing the squares, bolls and foliage on
the cotton stalks, ID pasturing, (2)
blowing under, 90 burning.
Pasturing cotton fields is a good
method of destroying the squares,
bolls, and foliage-the sole food sup
ply of the mature weevils and the in
cubators of the immature weevils-
where the cotton fields are fenced and
the number of cattle turned into a
field is sufficient to eat all the squares,
bOlls and foliage in a few days How
ever, let it be distinctly understood
that the practice Of turning a few head
Of cattle into fifteen or twenty acre
cotton and corn field accOmplishes no
particular good. We all know from OBJ
servatioG that two or three head of
cattle per acre, even when confined
to the cotton field will eat very little
of the green foliage in one week. And
let us not forget that it is necessary
to completely destroy the food supply
Of the mature weevils and the breed
ing places of the immature weevils at
the earliest possible moment.
Flowing under cotton stalks is
good method of destroying the only
food supply Of the mature weeviIs and
of ending the life OF all the immature
weeVils where there are few stumps
and roots, small cotton stalks, and
where large plows and strong teams
can be had. I have held the pillow
handles in the piney woods, in this
prairie section and in rich bottom

tlAiiACI > IdLiOHs
Experiments conducted by the Lou
isiana State Crop Pest commission are
summed up in the following extracts
from Circular No. %. Where the cot
ton plants were destroyed before Oc-
tober 18th, only per cent. of the Wee
wills survived the winter to infest the
next years's crop. Where the stalks
We're destroyed from October 18th to
October 9th, an average of about is
per cent. of the weevils passed through
the winter successfully Where the
stalks We're destroyed between No
vember LIST and 25th, an average ap-
proximately Of % per cent. of the wee
wills survived the winter Postponing
fall destruction of cotton stalks until
the middle of December or later, per-
mltted over 43 per cent of the Wee
wills to survive the winter and attack
the next crop. Where the stalks were
destroyed before October 18th only 8
per cent. of the weevils passed the
winter. Where the stalks remained
~ 'AAS AACANA Until DGCCHUOT lOIu over
AZ per cent, of the weevils survived
the winter. These figures will GER
tainly silence all opposition to the
early fall destruction of the boil wee
wills food supply.
No definite rule can be laid down
as to the exact time for destroying
the sole food supply of the boil weevil
IN the fall. However, the rule should
be to destroy the squares, bolls, and
foliage on the cotton stalks at the
earliest possible moment in the fall
1t is much better to turn the cattle
In the field, cut the stalks into pieces
and pillow them under good and deep,
or cut and burn the stalks at an early
date and thereby destroy a small
amount Of cotton than to defer the
work until later date. When the
WeeviPs only food is DESTROYED early
In the fall, they will either starve for
lack Of food before cold drives them
into winter quarters or will go into

very few will survive for spring depre-
dations.

ArbOr Day Poem.
The following poem for the Arbor
Day programme was written by En-
nett Riordan of the ninth grade:
Speak and tell US, thoughtful people,
Looking DER the vast array
OF our nations grand old forests,
Why we celebrate this day.
1t is for the love of nature
That the people of our land
Cherish and protect our forests
From the woodman's uncouth
hand.
Shall we be such timid creatures,
Fearful of the onward leap,
AS TO let the woodlands perish
Yield to commences tireless sweep?
Shall we see them torn and wasted
For the money We may hoard?
Shall we see them fall and perish
These "the grandest of our Lord?'
Shall the oak, the spruce, the maple
And the cool balm dropping fir
Be destroyed and be forgotten
While we see yet do not stir?
Rise up now, our honored people,
Lend your voices and your aid
TO protect the gifts of nature
That our Heavenly Father made,
