WHAT TO 90 WHEN the
SOIL weevlL CONES.

Upon Progressive Farmer readers
everywhere In newly infested boil
weevil territory we would impress the
tact that there Is no occasion for
alarm and panic. True. the coming OF
the weeyil to any cotton country. par.
ticularly south OF the latitude of
Birmingham and Atlanta. Is a serious
problem: but no problem has ever
been successfully met aud solved By
fright and decentralization. The only
proper and sensible course Is first to
learn what Is necessary In the fight
against the weevil. and then thorough.
ly apply what has been found most
effective. In aiming at the best plan
OF effective action. the following sug.
sestions. based on past experience
with the weevil. will. we believe. be
OF value to our readers:
l. In all territory infested this fall
for the first time. weevil damage next
year will not be heavy--rarely II ever
more than % per cent This compare
lively light damage the second year
Is due to the fact that weevils the fall
before are not sufficiently .numerou.
to thoroughly infest all fields. anC
consequently the number Twins
through the winter is not large.
?. Panic and fright may do NOR,
damage than the boil weeyil itself
This Is point we would impress IS
pecially upon business men In newl,
invaded territory. We have. In a few
instances. known OF what virtual,
amounted TO disaster to come with IN,
boil weevil. but where this has bee,
the case II has largely been due 4
fright; bankers. supply merchants
landlords refused to continue to es
tend credit where credit had been tn
rule. and In other ways plainly show
ed by their action that they believes
that agriculturally the jig was up.
Quite true. our credit system is by n
means ideal; but to eliminate II o
to substitute a better Is somelhin
that can not be done over night.
Is important to understand the ser
BUSINESS OF the situation. but don't ge
stampeded.

step In beating the boil weevil. W
believe the majority OF our reader
win continue to grow some cotton. d.
spite the weevil. but they can nevs
