lead to a conflict of authority and
confusion The good results to be

DESTROY STALKS
TO SIARvE WEEv|LS
Is ADVICE TO FARMERS-BRAD.
NER MOORE URGES COTTON
PLANTERS TO ACT QUICKLY.

Savannah, Sept, 24.-The farmers
of Southeast Georgia will score
great point inn the humiliation Of the
boil weevil if they hurry. with the cot
ton picking and destroy the stalks as
carly as possible, is the advice in a
letter TO the farmers of this section
by j. Bradner Moore, special field
agent in weevil control of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
In the letter Mr. Moore advises the
farmers that it will be to their benefit
to burn the cotton stalks after the
cotton is picked, and although it will
mean the loss of valuable vegetable
matter from the soil the loss will
amount to nothing in comparison with
the importance of hitting telling
blow at the boil weevil. eftH
Mr. Moore's letter is as follows:
To the Farmers of Southeast Georgia:
Gentlemen: III addition to the
many good arguments in favor OF
hurrying the picking of cotton at this
time, there is a very strong reason
for completing the job at the earliest
date in the presence of migrating boil
weeVls, because the thorough de-
strIction of the cotton plant deprives
the weevils of food and forces them
to go into winter quarters in starv-
ing condition with very small chance
of surviving the winter
There is no question about the eff
ficacy of the practice Of fall destruc-
ton of cotton stalks as boil weevil
control measure. If the farmers in
any section could only be induced to
do this job thoroughly three or four
weeks before killing frost, the boil wee
vii question would be practically
solved
The presence of very few weevils,
or even where none at all are found in
a given field of cotton, while they are
known to be in neighboring fields,
does not justify the neglect Of this
important work, because the weevils
continue to- move until killing frost,
and great many may be feeding in
fields that are not now infested be-
fore the time for Information. While
if the cotton plants are destroyed, the
migrating weevils will not linger in
the neighborhood but will move ON
to fields which afford feeding and
propagating facilities.
Destroy your cotton stalks at the
earliest possible date before killing
frosts. Destruction Of the dead stalks
after frost has very little if any val
ne. Destroy them by blowing under
deeply, il the size Of the stalks and
the character of the available plows
permit II destruction cannot be ac-
complished in this manner, then up
root the stalks by running pillow I'M
der them and piling them in windows
until they are dried sufficiently to
bunr. This of course, destroys valua-
BILE vegetable mater that the soils
needs, but it so efficacious in insuring
the succeeding crop against early in
festation, that if it is the farmers in
tention to continue growing cotton he
cannot afford to bubble in the matter
Where the stalks are burned, rota-
tion should be arranged, so as to al
low replacing the destroyed vegeta-
BILE matter with good crop of vel
vet beans turned under
