BURN YOUR COTTON Stake
NOW AND MAKE COT .

In the highest part of this paris!
some cotton was grown this year ant
probably more will be planted mex,

to destroy all stalks after you ge
this crop harvested which you NJ
doubt have finished by now. Take
middle burster or lister and run un.
der the stalks and let dry few days
then rake up in rows with hay rake
and burn. This will destroy thous.
ands of weevils that would otherwise
go through the winter and come on,
in good condition next spring.
The Department of Agriculture i.
sending out warning to the farmer
in the cotton belt, cautioning them
against the spread of the boil weevil

demonstration agents how to destroy
and prevent the rapid spread of the
insect which if followed will ado
thousands of dollars to this countr,
every year.

sermon being preached now, and nc
better text could be found as the de-
part ment conducted an experiment
in Amite County, Miss. last year
that opened the eyes of many farm
ers. The experiment was made tc
prove the value Of burning the stalks
and the results were as follows.
On III acres where no stalks were
destroyed, but where all other IN
structions OF the government were
followed. the average yield was 61s
pounds of seed cotton Per acre. Or
Is acres where the stalks were de.
stroyed before October 10th, and the
same cultural methods applied, the
average yield per acre was 1860
pounds seed cotton, or gain Of AL
pounds of seed cotton per acre, worth
at that time $17.64, was secured by
early fall destruction of stalks.
II 1t pays to burn the stalks in
Amite County, Miss, to the amount
OF $l7.64 per acre, what would 1t
