Farming Committee of the Board of

reach two classes of the farmer. One
who fears the boil weevil and believes
his crop ruined II the insect infests
It. The other is the farmer who has
no fear. having never been greatly
damaged by the insect Tie trip IS
TO help both farmers The one who
fears is to be taught how the insect
can be exterminated and the other
man is to be told how this year the
insect has come a month earlier, and
will do much greater harm than ever
before, and probably ruin the crop.
The men explained to the farmers
how they should get the boil weevil
when it enters the squares of the first
crop. To pick up these squares
means Kidding the cotton of the insect.
To wait until the second crop would
be too late and the crop would be
ruined
