SOME FACTS ABOUT THE
BOIL WEEVIL AND
METHODS OF CONTROL

In order for man to put up
good fight it is very essential that he
know all about his opponent. The
farmers Of Clarendon County have =
very formidable opponent in the shape
of the Boil Weevil He is already
spread over two-thirds Of the County
and before this time next year will be
in every cotton field in the County so
let us get the dope ABOUT this bug.
The following are some Of the facts
regarding the wecvil:-
|. Normally the cotton boil weevil
feeds only on cotton, but, III the alb
sence Of cotton, it will feed to some
, extent on closely related plants. such
| as okra and hibiscus, but does not
breed on them.
2. A full grown boil wccvil is
from one eighth to onc-fourth inch in
length. It's snout is about onc-half
it's body length. In color it varies
from light ycllowish when young to
graysh brown or black when fully
maturcd 1t lives over winter only in
the adult stage.
3. 1t goes into winter quarters
mainly in or near the field Of its de-
prcdations.
a. Comparatively few wcevis sur
vive the winter and emerge in the
Spring.
5. The overwintcred weevil feed:
upon the terminal buds of the young
cotton plants until the forms OF
: squares develop, then the female de
posits her eggs in the squares, eX
| clusively at first, but later also in th
, immature bolls.
7 6. The average life Of The adul
| wccvil when supplied with cottol
t squares as food is so to 60 days, it
t maximum life being about 100 days
g If deprived Of food it lives only tw
$ to six days, except in Information.
t 7. The progney from one pair o
y wccvils that have wintercd over wi
y number from 100000 to 100000
n in one summer. Wet, sultry Weathe

DOENGS AMONG OUR
CLARENDON FARMERS

visited Mr.. r. B. Baggett's farm
this week to see how he is getting
along with his purebrod Duroc hogs.
I found them in fine shape and Mr..
Baggett very enthusiastic over his
prospects. Mr.. Baggett started in the
purebred hogs business about year
ago with 5 pigs. They are now grown
to nice hogs and last July he bought
4 purebread sows. TO date he has
had a sows farrow which brought him
43 pigs. He now has more orders for
pigs and shoats than he can fill this
year In order to have green feed
for his hogs the year round he is now
planning to fence number of fields
which will give him a succession of
crops. Is he worried about the boil
NWeevils He is not.

have a good stiff wind behind them
they will go farther. Don't let anyone
tell you boil weevil can't fly and
that it will take long time till they
get to your field by crawling.
10. The boil weevi1 CAN'T climb
wire fence and DOES NOT feed on
cattle, hogs, poultry, sHeep, goats,
velvet beans, cowpeas, rye peanuts
tobacco or any crop raised to feed
livestock.
Now since we know chat much
about our opponent We can work out
methods of control for we know how
to meet every move he makes, IF we
WILL. The methods of combating the
| weevil outlined below are born Of
science and experience. These
methods have succecdeG. 1t will pay
to follow them.
/. Under boil weevil infestation
the fields selected for cultivation
! should be we'll drained, because a sue
ccssful crop will depend upon the pos
sibility Of cultivating them at the pro-
per time. Low, poorely drained lands
should be devoted to other csops.
They always have been an uncertain
factor in cotton production.
2. The early destruction of cotton
stalks before frost and burning all rub
bish in and about the infested fields
are important.
8. Uplands or any land that does
not contain a large amount or plant
food should be broken. as early in the
fall as possible with plow that does
I not turn too much subsoil to the sur
face. If practicable, some winter
. cover crop should be grown. Before
planting the soil should be thoroughly

AS you perhaps already know, the
several Goodyear factories are today
at full blast on the heaviest production
schedule they have ever undertaken.
Right now, for example, the output
of our Akron plants alone approx
mates the astonishing figure of $4,000
finished tires per day.
Yet this enormous total, easily the
largest daily volume ever attained by
a tire manufacturer, still is insufficient
fully to satisfy public needs.
The demand for Goodyear Tires con-
tinues to increase and strengthen
beyond anything within our present
power to fulfill.
1t seems to us that nothing that has
been said Of Goodyear Tires SO power
fully beSpeaks their goodness as their
present unparalleled popularity.
This popularity takes on an addi~
tional significance in that it is based
wholly on the virtues inherent in
Goodyear Tires.
No fictitious discounts, no delusive
definite mileage guarantees, no ex>
pedients Of any sort have been
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1919-07-01

employed to stimulate artifcially the
favor that Goodyear Tires year after
year command.
What greater tribute could there be
to Goodyear Tires than that their
unexampled leadership has been won
solely by the service Goodyear users
everywhere enjoy.
1t is possible you may find it difficult
to fill your immediate wants for
Goodyear Tires, as many Goodyear
Service Station Dealers stocks are
very low.
In view of this condition we suggest
that you anticipate your future re-
quirementS by placing a reservation
order with your nearest Goodyear
dealer.
Such action now will guard against
any possible disappointment later,
and avert any inconvenience this
temporary shortage might otherwise
occasion.
In the meantime we are devoting our
whole energies to the expansion of
our production, in an endeavor to
make Goodyear Tires as easy to get
as they are worth while to use.

ing on student practices which stand in
the way of academic work. He said in
part: III l have spoken of small mat
tiers, it is because of my belief, based on
experience and observation, that it is
not the lack Of honest purpose which
thwarts the success of SO many, but fool
ish and trifing evils of practice which

the past or to copy from other institu-
tions. | ask thorough revision of col
lege customs and practices, under the

izations, for the sake of the difficult
trials of manhood which await you, more
difficult than men before have ever
known.
THE world to-day needs bigger and
ADLER men, stronger and more capable
women. In public life in thousands of
positions men are crowded into places
too big for them. The root OF the petty
politics from which this nation is suf-
fering, and through this nation the whole
world, is petty men. Every profession
and every business is looking for ADLER
men. Every city and every town is look
ing for them. The strain Of life has be-
come too great for the men that are
available to bear 1t,

This promises to be the liveliest time OF
the conference, since there will be no
formal program, but the trend of discus
sion will be allowed to follow the way
suggested by the interests and conyic-
tions of volunteer speakers.
The Vermont Conference of Social
Work since its organization in 1916 has
played an important role, Through its
agency the state board of charities and
probation was established by legislative
enactment Through its good offices was
organized the Vermont Children's Aid So
cety, which aims to cooperate with and
supplement- the activities of the state
board. Because of its fine record of
achievement, as well as the timely in.
terest of its program, the ST. Johnsbury
meeting of the conference is expected
to set new record for attendance. The
conference has become easily the most
important social forum in the state and
it is hoped that this year all social
workers-paid and volunteer-will make
special effort to be present.
