SOME THINGS TO OFFSET
BOIL WEEVIL ATTACK
,(By c. B. Williams, Chief. Division
of Agronomy, N C. Extension


of Agronomy, N. C. Extension
Service
Since the boil weevil reached the
State in 1919, our farmers have been
anxiously casting about in their
minds as to what they may dc to most
effectively combat and overcome, or
certainly materially reduce the raw
ages of this pest when it reaches their
own community. Many have already
done things, in fact were practicing
methods before they ever heard of
the boil weevil that will go long
way to safeguard them largely
against the attacks of this much
dreaded enemy of the cottul grower.
The use of good cror r''tatioE; OF bet
ter and more Intelligent fertilizer: of
early and thorou sh preparation of tt e
land; OF a good seed bed an1 the use
of best adapted seed; of frequent and
thorough preparation of the crop af-
ter up to keep it growing vigorously
from the start; and of many other
practises the best farmers of the
State have already put into use on
their own farms
AS we see it. there is no reason on
the part of our farmers for supposing
that our people in this State are go
ing to have as a whole to give up the
growth of cotton if they will recast
their methods, although some may
have to co so where their condition
are exceedingly favorable for the
harboring and multiplication of the
boil weevil, as they have not done so
in the long run in the cotton-growing
states to the south of US. We may
materially reduce after a year of
severe attack and then in another
year Increase, and finally grow in all
probability as much or more than we
are growing now. Texas is now grow
ing almost double the acreage she
grew when the weevil first entered
that state in 1892. There is no uues-
tion, however, that had not Texas
reeast her methods of planting and
growing cotton to meet most effec-
lively the boil weevil, she would, to a
large extent at least, have been put
out of the cotton growing business
long ago If North Carolina cotton
growers are to continue to grow cot
ton on anything like profitable basis
they will have to do many things that
farmers in other states to the south
or us have done. Some of the methods
they have learned to be most effective

NOW LET's ENFORCE 1T.

The Georgia House Of Representa-
tives has re-enacted the motor-vehi-
Gle act passed at an extr2 session of
the legislature of 1915 which was de-
clared unconstitutional because such
legislation was not among the matters
mentioned by the governor in the cali
for the extra session.
This bill provides for the regula-
ton of motor traffic upon the public
highways of the state and upon the
streets of cities. 1t fixes maximum
speed of 30 miles an hour upon any
public highway in the state and stress
es care in ascending and descending
inclines, and fixes regulations for
passing other vehicles.
If this bill passes the Senate it will
give Georgia it's only law concerning
the operation of automobiles. That
such law is bsdly needed no travel

! Is in the midst of o famine end an
epidemic CT pellagra are calculated
to do great carnage to the business
and financial interests of the state,
and we cannot too strongly condemn
such exaggerations of the true state
of affairs.
The Georgia legislature has consid-
cred the matter of sufficient impor-
lance to take it up. A joint resolution
was passed by the Senate on Tuesday,
and will be transmitted to the House
for action, strongly condemning the
reports and decrying the erroneous
impression created abroad by the
false reports and requesting the state
press to cooperate in dissipating such
impressions. 1t gives great pleasure
to do its part in the matter. We do
not believe there is any foundation
whatever for the reports of famine
and pellagra epidmeics in this section,
and we are unable to see on what the
reports of the public health service
was based.

state will deny. The bill will be at
once transmitted to the Senate where
its speedy passage is expected.
Not the least important feature of
the law is that section devoted to pass
ing motor vehicles on the public high
way. This matter is of extreme i'm
portance, and should have been at
tended to long ago. AS matters stand,
what is commonly known as the road
hog is king of the highway. When
he comes along the safe proposition is
for all Others to get out of the way.
The road hog never gives anything.
In his opinion, the public highways
were constructed for his exclusive
convenience and all others are intrud-
ers.
We hope thta the provisions of the
new law are sufficiently trastic to COW
er the activities of the road hog. We
hope also that such provisions will be
drastically enforced.
