such as barns, outbuildings, trash
covered banks and woods.
20. Destruction of the weevils
early in the season is the most i'm
fortant work which can be accom-
plished.
d. Pick the weevils every Mon
day until squares begin to form.
%. If necessary, pay something
xtra to have this work done effeN-
vely.
%. If the picking of the weevils
not properly supervised it is
wasted effort.
"a. AS soon as squares form cease
picking individual weevils.
25 Pick up all fallen squares
every Monday morning and burn
them.
26. This is not hard job in spite
of opinions to the contrary, as in
Tested areas are unusually scattered
when the weevils first appear in a
given field. :, =,
27. Keep this practice up until the
die of July or until the weeVlls
begin to fly.
20. Limit cotton acreage to the
area which can be handled in the
manner indicated.
20. About this time weevil infes-
tation will have reached 20 to 30
per cent.
80. Spraying should now be un-
dertaken with 40 per cent strength
calcium arsenate.
81. Use as dust spray, putting
it on late in the evening while the
dew is on the plants.
SO. The weevils drink the dew
and in this way get enough poison
to kill large percentage of them.
33. Spray once a week for i've or
six weeks.
81. The cost will vary from So to
SIS per acre.
35. The results will depend on the
skill with which the work is done.
SO. A net return from SIS to $25
per acre at present prices for cot
ton and cotton seed may be antlcl-
pated from spraying.
81. The cost of spraying outfits
will vary according to their size and
efficiency.
SO. A good type of hand spray
err can be purchased for SIS to $50.
80. Power sprayers will cost from
$500 to $500.
40. Do not depend on spraying
alone if you expect to raise cotton
successfully and profitably under
weevil conditions.
Al. 1t is a means to an end.
AZ. Be sure to obtain a high grade
of calcium arsenate.
The man who follows these sug-
gestions intelligently, skillfully, per
sistently can obtain so per cent to
rs per cent of normal yield pei

infestation.

JAP POTATO KING
ROSE FROM COOLIE
MASTER PRODUCER OF UNITED
| STATES BY VIRTUE OF HARD
WORK AND STUDY.

BERKELEY, Cal.-"Let me be the
farmer and l can make California
eed the United States
This is the boast of George Shima,
Japanese potato King" said to be
the biggest food producer in the
world.
Thirty years ago Shima landed here
as poor as any coolie. Today he is
a multimillionaire, is sending his
daughter and two sons through col
ilege. and has fourteen phones in his
palatial home.
The soaring of potatoes to 7 cents
a pound, together with political agi-
itation against japanese land-leasing,
has thrown the searchlight upon this
remarkable little super-farmer. His
answer to the charges that he is
monopolist is that he holds the scep-
tor bv right of having coaxed from
mother earth more and better 'spuds"
land onions per acre than any living
producer, east or west.
Shima today owns in his own
name 1000 acres of the richest delta
lands in the state. Under his control
are $4,000 acres more. This year
Iif all goes well he will have nearly
one million sacks of potatoes to sell.
On Shima's land near Stockton is
land that bears the most intensively
cultivated potato crop in' the world.
It produces as high as $50 sacks to
the acre, or one-third more than land
of the same kind adjoining. His crop
brings from Is cents to so cents
more per sack than his competitors.
Shima's land and that which he
leases on shares to white farmers un-
der his planting directions produces
as high as $50 sacks of onions to the
acre. They bring in the market $1.65
to 81 sack.
Right over the fence the same land
is producing Is to 100 sacks per acre
and the price ranges from $3.50 to
$3.50 per sack.
How does he do it?
"Hard work and scientific study"
| is Shima's answer.
"When l came here from Japan l
was laborer.
II began to study books, talk to
farmers and learn about growing
things. In 1895 delta potatoes were
selling for 35 cents a sack and
Shimas potatoes for $1.0O a sack. l
got some delta land and started
pumping the water off l got the
land too dry, and the frost got them.
pumped some water back and after
three years l got a good crop. But
the potatoes weren't the best.
zone day | noticed that cucumbers
and watermelons blossoming in the
same field grew to taste alike. This
gave me an idea. Why couldn't
blend potatoes. l got some long Ore
gon potatoes and some round Cali
fornia ones and grew them together
and from the seed l got variety
which today brings 25 cents more
than any other potatoes on the mar
ket.
''It is not true that lam profiteer
I have only 10000 sacks of potatoes
in cold storage and 10000 more fol
seed. | am not a monopolist.

Forty-Three Ways of Fighting
The Boil Weevil

Progressive Farmer.
II. Put all fertilizer UNDER the
drill now and mix thoroughly with
soil at or before planting time.
II. Side applications, if used at
all, should be made very early in the
season.
IS. At least double the amount of
available plant food ordinarily used
under cotton.
IA. Chop cotton to a stand as
early as possible, leaving two plants
to hill.
Is. Cultivate the cotton once a
TX SO as to conserve moisture and
hasten development.
16. Continue cultivation as late
into the season as possible.
II. Go over a field Systematically
Monday morning and pick the
weevils as they come out from their
winter quarters.
10. This is neither as hard nor as
costly job as people think, as the
lis do mot appear in great num-
'ers early in the season.
10. The weevil will make his first
appearance in the field from that
quarter which has furnished him
with the most favorable hiding place,

FARMERS OF THE WEST
ARE HIT BY RENT BOOST
Must Seek Cheaper Land Say Cen
trail Illinois Tenants.
BLOOMINGTON, Ill.-R

BLOOMINGTON, Ill.-Rents for
farm lands are soaring.
Tenants in central Illinois are COM
planning that the landlords are in
creasing the price to prohibitive fig
ure and that they must leave this state
for the cheaper land Of the west and
Canada. From $12 to SIS per acre is
the common charge now, and, in view
of the higher cost of labor, seed, ma
chinery, etc, renters say that it is
impossible to make ends meet when
the owners of the land charge an ex-
orbitant rental.
| Landowners cannot figure why
they should be exempt from increas-
ing rentals when all owners of city
property are active in this direction.
They assert that the higher prices o.
tanned by the tenant more than off
set the increase.
