WHAT COTTON TO PLANT
in wEEvIL TERRITORY.
R. j. N. DeLoaeh, Professor Cotton
Industry.

Query-What variety or varieties
are most resistant to the boil Wee
III?
No accepted conclusion has ever.
been reached that there Is variety
resistant to the weeyil.
The big boil, early fruiting varieties
are best, not because Of early flower
ing. but because Of the quickness in
maturing from flower to fruit. The
advantage Of the short period from
flower to fruit is that the forage Pc
riod OF the weevil is thus reduced. 1t
eats only the cotton boil and lives
only six or seven months. BY reduc-
ing the forage period to the briefest
possible time, the greater the proba-
bilities of starving the weevil.
The hot suns rays kill the weevil
and the okra leaf variety has been
especially recommended because the
sun light penetrates the plant thor.
oughly. Rows planted north and
south, allowing the SUMS rays to fall
directly between, are an advantage for
this reason
