Reports from all over the
country have convinced us that
many boil weevils have lived
through the recent cold weather.
If they survived.that attack they
are apt to make it through the
winter all right. They will be
here in the summer in large
numbers. Experience has taught
that there is but one way to beat
the boil weevil and that is to
plant early, plant an early va
riety of cotton, prepare the land
thoroughly, fertilizer it highly,
with barn-yard manure if pos
sible, if not, with commercial
fertilizer, work out early and
keep it growing. In that way a
good crop of bolls may be ma
tured before the weevil gets
down to general work. If our
farmers are going to plant cotton
they would as we'll observe these
rules. The man who broke his
land last fall will have at least Is
per cent advantage of the man
who didn't.
