BOIL WEEvIL LOSES GROUND
Second Year in History of Insect That
There Has Been Reduction in
Infested Territory.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultnre.)
Due to the hard winter Of 1917-1S,
the boil weevil lost ground in his con
quest of the cotton belt last year. This
is exceptional in the history of the
weevil, in that it is the second year
since the establishment of this insect
in the United States that there has
been net reduction in territory in
tested by this pest.
This does not mean that the move
ment of the boil weevil has been per-
manently stopped In fact, the net
loss of territory for the year was but
a fraction of the loss at the begin
ming of 1918. Much of the lost ter
ritory was regained by the weevil later
in the year.
The losses in territory occurred in
Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Ala.
bama. The weevil gained territory in
Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, and
New Mexico. This is the first report
Of the boil weevil on cotton in New
Mexico, where it was found in the
Pecos valley.
Theweevil has reached the southern.
most. limits of cotton production in
Florida. It is steadily gaining new ter
ritory in South Carolina. Almost the
entire sea-island cotton belt is now in
tested.
Altogether the weevil invaded only
5000 square. miles of new territory
during 1918. It lost $4,000 square
miles Of formerly infested territory,
making net loss of 10000 square
miles. About 10000 square miles Of
cotton, territory still remain unin-
ialted.

Soil erosion, or the washing away
of earth by water, costs the farmers
Of the United States $1,OOOOOO every
year. Soil losses from this cause oc-
cur in every state of the Union and
in almost every county of every state.
Nine years ago the National Conserva-
ton congress reported that 100000
acres of farm land had been practi-
cally ruined by soil erosion. So seri-
GUS is the condition that DIR. N. S.
Shaler, formerly dean of the Law
renee Scientific school, was once
moved to remark that IF mankind
cannot devise and enforce ways of
dealing with the earth which will pre-
serve this source of life, we must look
forward to the time-remote it may
be, yet clearly DISQUALIFICATION our.
kind, having wasted it's greatest in
heritance, will fade from the earth
because of the ruin it has accom-
plished."
Ruins Fertile Land.
Erosion Injuries or practically ruins
fertile lands in number of ways.
The upper and most fertile parts of
the soil are washed away until the
land becomes barren and unproduc-
tive. Deep gullies are formed which
result in an actual loss Of land for
cultivation, lowering of the water
table and deficient supply of mois-
ture. Drainage bitches are often filed
up with sand, which frequently re-
suits in the flooding of the adjoining
bottom land and the destruction of
crops. Rich bottom lands are often
covered with deposits of sand washed
from the hill lands. Hence the direct
losses of the upland farmer are the
land occupied by gullies, smaller crop
yields each year, and continued de-
crease in the value of the land. Some
of the losses of the bottom farmer are
the land covered to a great depth with
sand, crops damaged by overtlows or
deposits of sand, a continued decrease
in the value Of the land, and the
money invested in the construction Of
drainage bitches that have been filed
or partly filed with sand. Thus it is
apparent that both the bottom and the
upland farmer should be concerned in

he spotted 1t and returned to his aerodrome

by courier that at 5 05 that afternoon Luke would
shoot down the Boinville balloon and asked to be

lowering the water Table

the adoption of effective measures for
stopping erosion.
Methods Of Preventing Erosion.
Since erosion is due largely to the
rapid movement of the rain water over
the surface of the ground, methods of
preventing erosion must cause the wa
ter either to sink into the soil or flow
away slowly over the surface to
drainage channel. If the rain water
We're absorbed by the soil as fast as
it falls, there would be very little
erosion.
In order to drink up surface water
rapidly soil must be very permeable,
which means that it must contain fair
" large open spaces through which the
rain water can pass easily, or where
it can be stored temporarily. Some
soils are naturally very permeable.a A
number of ways of increasing the
permeability of soil are deep plow-
ing, blowing under organic matter
such as manure, stubble, stalks and
cover crops; the practice Of tile drain
age, and, in certain soils, the use of
explosives.
Protection Of Vegetation.
Vegetation covering the surface of
the ground protects the soil from the
direct action of the rain and checks
the flow of the water over the surface,
giving the soil a better opportunity to
absorb the water. 1t is therefore i'm
portant that some kind of cover crop,
such as vetch, clover, oats, wheat or
rye, be grown on the land during the
winter or at any time that the land
is not used for other crops.
Contour blowing, which consists of
breaking the ground along level lines
across the slopes, reduces the flow of
water directly down the slope. Also
in planting and cultivating the crops
the same level lines are followed so
that a shallow trough is made above
each row. Most of the rain water is
caught and held in this trough until
it either evaporates or is absorbed by
the soil. Contour blowing should in
variably be practiced on all hill lands.
The beginning of a great many gullies
is due to the practice of blowing and
cultivating directly up and down the
slopes.
