who steadfastly refuse to see the
plain facts placed before them,
but the farmers who are destroy

the fall are making money grow

of Controlling the Boil
Weevil

THE following article was writ
ten by Prof R. w. Harmed, ento-
mologist, Mississippi A. & M.
College, and is taken from BulIe-
tin No. 139, Mississippi Agricul-
tural Experiment Station. This
and other bulletins are for free
distribution and can be had for
the asking.]
No one has discovered a pane
cea for the boil weevil and it is
not likely that any will be dis
covered. However, years of ex-
perience and careful study have
brought to light many facts in
regard to the life history and
habits of this insect. By taking
advantage of some of these much
can be done to lessen the dam
age Of the boil weevil. We have
the benefit of the experience of
Texas and Louisiana and
should not be slow to profit by
it. It is absolutely essential
that every grower of cotton have
an intelligent idea of the habits
of this insect. Make sure that
you are acquainted with the diff
ferent stages of its life history.
Read carefully all bulletins or
publications concerning this in
sect and verify the statements in
these publications for yourself.
Make observations for yourself
as to which fields are most seri-
ously damaged by the boil wee
vii, and try to determine the
cause for any difference upon
fields in the same neighborhood.
Test different varieties of cotton
under the same conditions so as
to obtain the variety that does
best on your farm under boil
weevil conditions. Observe care
fully the effects of early and late

Quite number Of the planters
of this neighborhood are going
in for diversified farming this

cotton that will bring money.

last year say they were we'll re-

turnips from one small patch

worth Of water and musk melons
marketed from this community
last year, also quite a lot of
sweet potatoes and other pro-
duce that found ready sale.
Our people are learning that
cotton is not the only crop that
can be made a success in this
country.

Only one week ago we an
nounced our big Voting Contest,
and already the names are be-
ginning to come in. The young
ladies are aware of the fact that
some one of them is going to
win a Piano and that others will
receive valuable prizes and they
are not slow to go after them.
That is just what is expected,
intact it is just what we knew
from the beginning would hap
pen. Such prizes as we are
offering are worth many times
the effort that will be required
to win them.
The Grand prize is to be an
elegant upright Remington
Piano, manufactured by the
Remington Piano Company which
is owned and controlled by the
Starr Piano Company, and this
strong and reliable company
stands behind this instrument
with their regular guarantee.
Besides this, Mr.. Seymour Jones
will give Mahogany Dressing
Table and Stool, a piece of
furniture that would grace the
room of any lady; The Okolona
Hardware Company will give
two Graphophones in two prizes
these are too we'll known to
need our telling more of them;
E. S. Elliott, one of our leading
dry goods men, will allow the
winner of the prize he offers to
selectmerchandise to the amount
of $1,000 from his stock; the
Droke Jewelry Company will
give a solid gold Set Ring-your
choice from his tray of the

Kodak, not a toy but a real pic
ture taking machine.

at the time the money is paid.
Therefore have your friends to

offered in the contest. Every
vote counts like every other
vote.

and the territory surrounding it.
No. lodge or other organization
will be permitted to enter the
contest; should any lady enter
the contest with the understand
ing that she would donate the

ed will bar her from participat-
ing in the contest. We mean
that this shall be a contest be-
tween the ladies and that the

planting. There are hundreds of
facts concerning the boil weevil
that each farmer should find out
for himself in order to more intel
ligently meet the situation, and to
continue to raise cotton on a prof
liable basis. 1t is our purpose to
mention some of the many i'm
portant practices that should be
followed by those who expect to
raise cotton in boil weevil infest-
ed territory They are not neces-
sarially remedies that will kill
the boil weevil but are as a gen.
eral thing good farm practices
that will add to the production
of cotton under any condition.
Destroy the stalks early in the fall
The leading authorities upon
the boil weevil all agree that
this is the one most important
step in the control of this insect.
AS soon as the boil weevil be-
comes so numerous that practi-
cally no more cotton will be pro-
duced, destroy the stalks so as to
kill many Of the insects and to
cut off the food supply of the
others. One can usually tell alta
glance when a field has become
badly infested by the fact that
very few blossoms are to be
seen. Hasten the picking of the
cotton and as sooh as it is picked
out destroy the stalks. The ear
lier the stalks are destroyed the
fewer weevils will survive to
damage the crop next year.
Mr.. Wilmon Newell, Secre ary
of the Louisiana State Crop Pest
Association, carried on some very
valuable experiments in 1903
that clearly show the value of
the early fall destruction of the
cotton plants. | shall quote
freely from circular No. 18 of
the Louisiana State Crop Pest
Commission, in which Mr.. New
ell gives a summary of there ex-
periments. He found that where
the plants were destroyed before
Oct. 18th, only 3 per cent of the
weevils survived the winter to
infest the next years crop.
Where the cotton plants were
destroyed between Oct. Is and.
Oct, 27, about Is per cent of the
weevils survived the winter.
Where the plants were destroyed
between Nov. l and Nov. Is,
about 22 per cent of the weevils
survived. Where the cotton
plants were destroyed between
November Is and December 7,
% per cent of the weeviIs lived
through the winter, but where
the destruction of the colt n
plants was put off until the mic
die of December or later 43 per
cent of the boil weevils survived
the winter and were ready to
attack the next years crop.
These figures are so convinc-
ing that it is incompreaensible
that any farmer should continue
to try to grow cotton without
picking out his crop cary and
completely destroying the cotton
plants stalks, leaves, boIIs and
roots long before the first au-
tumn frost. "
Destruction of 4he cotton
plants before October 15tn, in
this instance, allowed but 8 rer
cent of the weevils to live until
the crop of 1909 was subject 10
their attack. Against this small
number of overwintered weevi s,
as has been repeatedly proved
by experience, the planter can
make a good crop by the use of
proper early-maturing varieties,
and by the adoption cf
the intensive cultuIal meth
DDS. By leaving the cotton
plants standing until after the
