Cotton Culture
with the WeeviI
A few Simple Rules.

Select your cotton land where the
plants will not run too much to weed
Prepare the land well-make a
perfect seed bed
Plant as early as possibe-do not
try to plant in the winter
Plant a variety which fruits early
Plant in rows wide enough so that
the limbs will not Iock-shade is the
weeviIs heaven Of rest
Begin cultivation as soon as cotton
is up
Begin now to watch for the weeviI,
he gets into the field by the time
you do. You will find him at work on
the bud
Thin to a stand as early as possible
cotton dates from "chopping" rather
than planting. Don't leave the cotton
too thick in the drill
Picking weeviIs should begin now
in dead earnest. before the squares
begin to set. In this way a great
saving Of squares can be accomplished
Cultivate often and shallow until
well out in the season-plow once a
week if possible.
Watch when the squares begin to
set and gather and burn all that fall or
show signs Of iniury-this should be
kept up until about the first of August.
Gather cotton as fast as it opens
and destroy all foliage and stalks as
soon as the last is picked
Do not expect 4 top crop.
Repeat the treatment as often as
you plant a crop.
