soils already are deficient in that
most valuable of all elements OF
plant food.
Flowing up the cotton stalks and
letting them die and rot in the fields
would destroy some weevils, but
would not destroy nearly so many
as plowing them under, and would
iose a good portion of the nitrogen
contained in the cotton stalks. When
plowed under, DR.. Soule states, the
stalks put back into the soil their
nitrogen. while the boil weevils die.
The time to hit the boil weevil''
DR.. Soule aptly remarks, lis when he
Is down. 1t may not be good sports
manshsip, but it's mighty good eco
nomics"
The boil weevil does not hesitate
to strike the cotton grower when he
is down, as the grower we'll knows
and whenever grower has an op-
portunity to strike the weevil when
he is down. he ought to seize il
without moments delay.

structive insect multiplies with pro-
digious rapidity. Perhaps no other
insect known to science can equal the
boil weevil in that respect. The wee.

pair that escapes destruction now,
