FARMERS URGED.
To HOLD NERVE
DESPITE WEEV|L

Field Agent j. G. oliver, as he was
leaving last night on a trip through
several south Georgia counties, made q
statement to a representative of the
Iimes-Recorder regarding the presence
of the boil weevil in this section, and
urged the farmers not to become fright
ened when the pest begins to show up
il the fields of Sumter county. His
statement is as follows:
Hold your nerve. There is no need
to become frightened when the boil
weevil shows up in your cotton field, If
you will only do what you can, and
cid not plant more acres than you
knew you could manage before it was
planted.
There are other weevils than the
boil weevil, that get on the cotton
some times. Hundreds of weevils have
been brought in to us recently, but only
just a few boil weevils have been
among these. The cowpea pod weevil
and the cookie burr weevils were the
ones seen in and around Americus.
These need not be mistaken for the
boil weevil. They are not the same
color, being black and the boil weevil
a grayish brown. They are not quite
so large, either These will do a little
damage to the cotton plants, but will
be gone after shower followed by a
few hot days.
Last week a man brought in some
CT these little black weevils and when
he found they were not boil weevils, he
said: Well it is good thing they are
not boil weevils, for if they had been
/ expected to go to ploughing up every
bit of it / have ON my place next Mon
day" That is nonsense. 1t is just as
extreme as it is to plant more acres
than one knows can be managed when
it is planted Cotton can be grown
with weevils. 1t has been done. But it
is not done by the fellow who loses
his head, nor is it done by the ex-
tremists. 1t is done by the man who
determines to do the right thing at the
right time and who stays by it until it
is done.
Just make up your mind that you
propose to kill every old weeviI as
fast as they can be found once week
until squares form. Then stick to the
job of picking and burning the squares
once week until the middle of July
ard crop of cotton can be made. OF
course the cultivation must not be left
off. This must be done regularly and
continued later than usual.
"One good sign that has been noticed
recently. a good number are learning
tI,at a two-horse cultivator saves la
Dor, conserves energy, covers more
sbaee, and gets to the back side quicker
at less expense These implements
will go long way toward helping to
solve the matter of scarcity of labor.
II YOU have not found it out try it.
But do not lose your nerve. Grow
all the foodstuffs possible certainly.

SHOW the weevils that it can be done"
