COMBAT WEEVH
{Allendale County Citizen.)

(A1lendale County Cltizen.(
This is a time for wise and safe
planning by business men and farm
ers and not time for stampede or
panic,'' declared H e. Savely, agri'
cuiturist and field agent Of the United
States Department Of agriculture
in concluding an address before the
farmers and business men Of Hamp-
ton County recently. Mr.. Savely Of
fers some very sound advice to the
cotton growers of this section.
The text of the address made by
Mr.. Savely follows:
.In none of the territory that has
been invaded by the cotton boil wee
vii has the cotton crop been entirely
abandoned. In sections along the
Gulf Coast that have an excessively
heavy rainfall during the months OF
June and July, cotton is planted on a
very small scale, compared to what
was planted before the invasion OF
the cotton boil weevil. However, in
the most adverse sections, cotton is
still grown in small way.
"a few points to be stressed for
cotton production under boil weevll
conditions are planting good seed OF
The dispatch-news. [volume] (Lexington, S.C.) 1919-2001, 1919-11-12

an early type Of cotton. This does
not mean the King types of cotton,
which are usually considered the ear
liest varieties known. There is a dis
tinct drawback to the King types OF
cotton. The bolls are thin and Vice.
wills can attack and destroy practical
ly matured bolls of the King type of
cotton. Other varieties Of cotton,
such as Toole, Cleveland Big Boil, and
many other early types of cotton,
have a tougher and thicker boil that
is not so easily punctured by the vice.
vii. A variety of cotton should be
planted that has a habit of growing
throughout the season until checked
by frost. The King type of cotton
does not have this habit, and when
it stops fruiting in the early summer
the weevil turns to the bolls as
source of food and a place to deposit
eggs.
It is the common impression among
the farmers that when the weevil
comes the one thing necessary Is. to
well fertilize under weevil condi-
tions.
eff farmers will plan a safe course
of farming and will devote some at
tention to hog raising, growing corn
and velvet beans, sugar cane, pea
nuts, and other staple crops adapted
to the section, they will find after a
few years time that they are making
as much clear cash on their farms
as they ever did out of the cotton
crop. This has been the experience
in south Alabama, and south Georgia,
and I am sure it will prove the case
The dispatch-news. [volume] (Lexington, S.C.) 1919-2001, 1919-11-12

in South Carolina.
"This is time for wise and safe
planning by business men and farm
ers and not a time for stampede or
panic
A word of caution is necessary here.
There is no advantage in planting
before the weather is seasonable for
termination and rapid growth of cot
ton. Farmers should determine what
is a safe date for early planting and
have the land prepared in advance so
that when this time of planting ar
rives the cotton can be all put in in a
few days time. Neither extremely
early nor extremely late planting is
advisable under weevil conditions.
"The cultivation now practiced by
the best farmers in South Carolina
is exactly the cultivation that will
be needed under weevil conditions.
Push the cultivation from the start
and keep it up until practically time
for the cotton to begin opening. This
will keep the cotton growing late in
the summer and putting on new
squares which will make good boil
weevil pasture and keep them from
attacking young or immature bolls set
early in the season.
Under weevil conditions cotton
should be planted on eithe r fertile
land or land that is we'll fertilized. 1t
is mistake to undertake to grow cot
ton on poor land that has not been
cultivated.
