who tries such thing has been get
ting what he deserves and he's going
to continue to get it, if i can carry the

world why we should not have given

didn't bid ON what Dunn & Lallande bid
on is nobody's fault but their own. II
they could, do the work cheaper than

going to try to keep on doing So The
lowest bidder who Is responsible viii

ADVICE ON WAY TO
FIGHT BOIL WEEV|L
Alabama Can Save Hun
dreds of Thousands Of
Dollars in PrOfiting by
Experience of Others

Washington, September 24.-(Special. }
The department of agriculture is sendin g
out warnings to the farmers in the cotton
teit, cautioniHg them against the spread
of the boil weevil. It is also advising
them through tho Held agents how % de-
stroy and prevent the spread of the in
sect.
Destroy the cotton stalk early In Oc-
| toher If possible" advises the depart
ment. Destroy your stalks even If your
less progressive neighbor neglects to do
so. 1t will pay Clear off and burn all
your rubbish on ditch banks and other
alternating places for the weevil. This
should be done as early as is possible in
the fall.
do not plant cotton after cotton, but
plant your cotton on land that has grown
heavy crop of cowpeas, velvet beams,
espedeza or some other 1uguminous crop
to supply the land with nitrogen and veg
etable matter Break the land in the fall
or early winter that is to be planted in
cotton next year
where sufficient teams and tools are
available to plow under and completely
bury the stalks this should by all means
be done. Where it is impossible to Flow
the stalks under they should be upi coted,
raked into windrows and allowed to dry
for a few days, and they should then
be burned.
ITO prove the value of destroying the
cotton stalks, the department conducted
experiments in Amite county, Mississippi,
last year and the follc wing results are
shown:
''On lit acres where no stalks were de-
stroyed but where all other Instructions
of the government were followed, the
average yield was Go pounds of seed cot
ton per acre. On 2S acres where the STALKS
were destroyed before October 10, and the
same cultural methods applied, the aver
age yield per acre was 1860 pounds OF
seed cotton, or gain of AL pounds oil
seed cotton per acre, worth at that time
S1764, and this was secured by simply
an early fall destruction of the stalks.
If it pays a few men S1764 per acre to
cut their cotton stalks before October
10, what would it mean to county If
every stalk in 1t were cut before Octo-
ber 10?'
"On other farms in the same county
where none of the government ihstruc-
tions were followed it took eight to ten
acres to make bale OF cotton
If the boil weevil is to be held in check
in Alabama it must be done through the
farmers themselves, following rigidly the
instructions of the department. Neglect
of details or the none use of the govern
ments Instructions at all will certainly
cost the state hundreds of thousands of
dollars in the next two or there years,
because such neglect will promote the ad-
vance of the boil weevil and be conducive
to his destructive work.
Alabama has some advantage, because
his advent into that state was delayed
until Intelligent methods for combating
him had been discovered. If Alabama
is to reap the benefit her farming citizens
| must take advantage of the governments S
| experience in the fight against the pest
\ so far.
