DESTROY THE COTTON STALK
An Effective Method of Boil Weevll
Control.

Experiments have proved that one
weevil control is the early destruction
OF the green cotton stalks. This early
destruction OF the growing stalks 40
c0mplishes three things:
% Destruction of all immature
weevils in bolls and squares.
ca Destruction of all food sup
plies for adult weevil compelling all
these weeyil to do without food until
cold weather forces them into hiberna
ton. This makes the adult weevil e.
into winter quarters weak from star
walton and in bad condition to with
stand the cold.
CD Destruction of all breeding
places. This early stalk destruction
duplicates in large measure the ef-
fects OF freezing temperatures.
In order to make cotton profita-
BILE crop, the best cultural methods
must be adopted and all means OF
controlling weevil damage must be
used faithfully and persistently.
Early destruction of the green and
growing stalks is the first step.
Where the farmers have the neces-
sary tools. the best way to handle the
stalks is TO chop them up fine with a
stalk cutter or disc harrow Then
pillow under as deep as possible, thor
oughly covering all OF the chopped
stalks. If possible. plant some win
ter cover crop on the land some or
the clovers being the best for this
purpose
The next best method is to cut the
stalks, and pile and burn them as soon
as the leaves, stems and squares will
make a quick blaze. Don't wait I'M
til all the stalk is dry, or the weevil
will all have Matched and most OF the
labor Will be In vain.
The effort of each individual farmer
ductive of some good Community CO.
operative effort, however, is what Is
required to meet this situation in the
best possible way. II every commun-
ity in the cotton section Of the state
would destroy all cotton stalks by No
vember 1. at the latest, 1t would be
worth thousands Of dollars to the cot
ton industry In larger yields next
year. I'm union there is strength
Let every community get together and |
do this job Mason Snowden,

FALL FLOWING HAS
MANY ADVANTAGES
Improves Soil Texture; Kills Woods
and Insects: Saves Time in
the Spring Rush.

Fall blowing improves the texture
of the soil and causes a greater libe-
ration of plant food, due TO the ac-
ton of the weather than spring piow-
ing. BY turning under the organic.
or vegetable, matter in the fall II has,
OF course, more time to rot and to be
come thoroughly incorporated into the
soil
Fall blowing causes many weed seed
TO terminate and the weeds to be
killed by cold weather. Many insects
are brought TO the surface, also, TO be
killed by the frosts.
The time for fall blowing should be
largely a matter of convenience. The
first. Land with a great deal of vege-
table matter on il to be turned under
should be plowed early in order to give
this matter more time to rot.
There is not always sufficient time
in the spring for proper preparation
of the soil, especially where the crops
are to be planted early, hence it is
good farm management to make
part of this preparation in the fall
1t is not always best TO plow sandy
lands and hill lands in the fall unless
they are also seeded to a cover crop,
otherwise there is apt to be much
loss from teaching and erosion.

whether this State will still remain in the Republican column or not, and the Democrats have ample req son for claiming that they will carry 1t.
 Wisconsin Is properly claimed by Democrats, although considered doubt ful by the Republicans, as the popu- lar vote last election gave Wilson 164, 900, as against 1SS,00O, the con- bined vote of Taft and Roosevelt, so slight change in the Progressive vote would surely carry this State for Wilson
 Coming out to the Pacific Coast States, in the State of Washington the situation at present indicates that State going for Wilson, and as the odds are much greater in Wash ington for the Democrats to over come in order to carry that State. there should be no question that If the State of Washington goes Democratic, 1t should be followed by Oregon and California going the same way, as the popular vote four years ago was much closer In the two latter States than In Washing ton.
 To sum up the entire situation with the labor vote solid and the German-American vote split and the feeling throughout the rural dis tricts inclined strongly to Wilson, we should not be surprised to see all these doubtful states in the Demo cratic column the day of election. with the possibility that for the first time in the history of the coun- try it might be made unanimous.
