Best Not To Attempt New Crops,
Says Bulletin. ..-.

The following is. a paragraph
from Extension Bulletin 4s, ''Farm-
ing Under Boil Weevil Conditions" :"
"There is.no single new crop
which promises to take the place OF
cotton as money crop. There is
no combination Of crops which can
be recommended as a specific. Elk
pertinent has shown that cotton con-
tinues to be grown as the chief
money crop in the cotton states al
ready infested. by the weevil. 1t
would be well, therefore, for US to
continue to grow cotton, using boil
weevil control measures, and to un-
dertake the growing of new money
crops only on a conservative scale.
Plunging on new unknown money
crops brings on problems that are
hard to solve as is the problem of
growing cotton under weevil condi-
tions. We must simply adapt our
selves to the changed aspects Of
farming and meet new conditions
with suitable methods

COLLECTION oF,WEEyILs~
EXPLAINED BY CLEMSON
Squares Should Be Gathered IF
Labor is Plentiful Enough
And Cheap.

"When low-priced labor is avail
able, square collecting will be help
full if properly done. Collecting should
be begun about ten days after the
first bloom is seen in the field. But
unless it is done thoroughly it is
unproftable. About every five days
every square must be picked, not
only those on the ground, but also
those that have dried on the plants,
as we'll as those whichsshow yellow
color or are barred. This should be
continued during the first weeks of
the square-forming period. During
wet seasons when cultivation is i'm
possible, plow labor may be used un-
til cultivation can be resumed. Spe-
cial attention should be given to
places where a large number of wee
wills passed the winter, sl'ch as bot
tom lands woods. and fields adjoin-
ing waste land or other places where
rubbish occurs.
"It is advised that all collected
squares, instead of being destroyed,
be placed in a box having one of its
walls made of ordinary wire window
screening. Instead of box, a barrel
covered with ordinary window
screening may be used and. this laid
horizontally at some convenient
place. The box or barrel must be
tight so that no emerging weeyils can
escape. The meshes Of the wire
screens are too small for weevils to
escape, yet sufficiently large to per-
NIT the escape of parasites.

generally unsatisfactory results. Com

believed that the results secured in

VARIETIES OF COTTON
Only Proved Type Should Be Plant
ed Next Year.

Clemson College experts say:
Numerous experiments in the
boil weevil infested area Of this state
and other states have. amply justified
the Recommendation Of the follow
ing varieties for the conditions de-
signated: ..
e."Short staple, Cleveland Big Boil
for wilt-free land Or Dixie Triumph
fer wilt-infested land.
4t'Long staple varieties, Webber
No. 40 or Delta-type Webber.
'It is important to have an early
truiting variety but it is also impor,
tant to have a variety which con:
tinues to fruit throughout the sea-
SON. The boil weeyil prefers to pune,
ture squares and will do SO if they
are present in the plants; but if none
are to be found, he will then pune
ture the half-grown bolls. This ex'
plains why it is important for a
variety to continue frrliting through.

One case in particular. where q
planned robbery came to naught, it
was stated, was in Texas, where pre-
parations for a hold-up were aban-

also were frustrated and generally
robbery of the mails has dropped

WHEN TO PLANT COTTON
Lose No Time After Danger From
Frost Passes.

Frost Passes.
A bulletin from Clemson College
gives advice as follows:
"Cotton should be- planted as early
as possible after danger of killing
frost is over and the ground is warm
enough to insure quick termination
and rapid growth. In order to insure
a, good stand without replanting,
more seed should be used than has
been the custom in the past. It is
well to use from one to two bushels
per acre, depending on the condition
of the land, more seed being used
where the land is rough and cloddy
or cold. It is a distinct advantage
when practicable to delint the seed
because delinted seed will germinate
more quickly by several days, under
adverse conditions, than will unde'

THOROUGH PREPARATION
plsw Cover Crop Under Early In
~ Sprinx,


A Clemson College bulletin says:
"When a cover crop is grown on
the land during fall and winter, It
should be plowed under early in the
spring so that the, land will have
ample time to settle before planting
Cotton comes up more quickly and
starts growth earlier if planted on a
firm well-settled seed bed than if
planted on d loose one. If the land
has been in corn and velvet beans,
or corn and peas during the summer
and can be conveniently planted to
a cover crop, this should be grazed
during the early winter months and
plowed under in mid-winter for best
conservation Of nitrogen, and this
will give time for the land to settle
and the organic matter to humify be-
fore planting time.
"Where no cover crop is used, the
land should be plowed in the fall or
early spring in the case Of sandy
soil, and the seed beds should be
made up early in the spring so that
they will have ample time to settle
before planting. Clay soils when
plowed in the fall should be plowed
deep to give more soil for root de-
velopment. No soil should be plowed
deep in the late spring OF just be-
fore planting"

The great destruction wrought by
the cotton boA weevil this year has
maAe the problem Of its control a
vital one to practically all. cotton
plsaters. Everywhere the question is
heard, "What can. be done to avoid
this loss next year?" =
Fer many years prior to the de-
selepment Of poison-control meas
pres the United States Department
of Agriculture advocated fall des-
Huction Of cotton plants by burning
or plowing under, as the most i'm
portant step in controlling the boil
weevil. It is still good practice as an
auxiliary to control by poison.
The proper time for the destruc-
tion Of the plants in the fall is when
ever the weevils have become so nu-
merous that there is no prospect that
any more cotton will be made. It is
an easy matter for any planter to
determine this point by an examine
ton Of a few plants in his field.
Whenever it is found that all, or
nearly all, Of the squares and some
Of the bolls are being punctured,
there is no hope for producing any
more cotton. The farmer should then
wait until the bolls already set on the
plants have opened, and destruction
should them take place Immediately.
By all means, if possible, destruc-
ton Of plants should take place be-
fore frost, but destruction after frost,
though not nearly as eficacious as
early destruction, should always be
practiced when it has not been posi-
Bile to remove the plants previously.
The plants should be plowed under
deeply, or completely destroyed by
fire. No sprout cotton should be left
to furnish breeding places for the
weevils.
There are four principal reasons
why the process of fall destruction
should be practiced universally by
planters in infested regions!
First. Fall destruction prevents
absolutely the development of a null
tltude of weevils which would other
wise become adult within a few
weeks Of the time Of hibernation. The
destruction Of the immature stages
oe wss!-..ls in infested squares and

bolls is accomplished, while the fur
ther growth Of squares which may
become infested later is prevented.
This stops materially the development
Of weevis which will emerge in the
spring the chances for a successful
crop the following season are very
greatly increased.
Second. A proper manipulation of
the stalks will bring about the des-
truction of a great majority of the
weevils which are already adult.
Third. It has been shown conclu-
sively that the bulk Of the weevils
which survive the winter are those
which reach maturity late in.the sea-
son. It Is evident that the weevils that
pass the winter and attack the crop
Of the following season are among
those developed latest in the fall and
which, in consequence Of that fact,
have not exhausted their vitality By
depositing eggs for any considerable
length Of time. Fall destruction of
the plants, increasing the length Of
the alternating period, reduces many
fold the number Of weev;ls in the
fields that would otherwise emerge
in the spring to damage the cotton.
Fourth. Clearing of the field in the
fall makes it possible to practice fall
plowing, which is not only the prop
er procedure in any system of cotton
raising, but also greatly facilitates
the early planting of the crop the
following spring. The ground becomes
clean by this practice, so that but
few places for shelter are left for
the weevils, and various climatic con-
ditions still further reduce the num-
Der OIL tue SuINlSOIS.
The early planting Of the crop
next spring and the use Of an early
maturing variety are also strongly
urged. The fall destruction Of plants
will reduce the number Of weevils
which will sarvive the winter. By
getting the cotton crop started ear
ly it is often possible to get it we'll
on the way to maturity before the
few weevils surviving the winter have
time to propagate to the plant
where they become destructive.
Destroy the cotton plants in the
fall and plant early the following
spring.

OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
TYPE OF FERTILIZER
Should Contain. Abundance of Phos.
phorie Acid. .....

Should Contain. Abundance Of Phos.
phorie Acid.
A bulletin issued by Clemson Col
lege gives the following advice:
"A liberal application of CONNER
cial fertilizer is also advisable, and
this fertilizer should contain an
abundance of phosphoric acid, as this
ingredient hastens the maturity of
the crop up to a point where the
plant has all it requires in its growth.
On most soils in this state about 800
pounds of acid phosphate per acre
will give most profitable results. A
liberal amount of ammonia hastens
the maturity of the crop up to GER
tain point. Too much ammonia de-
lays the crop as does too litt, hence
the Importance of having the correct
amount of ammonia for each soil.
Each farmer should study the needs
of his soils and use the amount of
ammonia which he finds best for his
land.
potash is necessary on most of
our sandy soils and on some Of our
Piedmont soils. Where good system
of farming is practiced in the Pied
mont section,' where the crops are
rotated and organic matter supplied,
no potash should be required. An
excess of potash also tends to delay
the maturity Of the crop, and for
this reason moderate applications
generally give best results. A well
balanced fertilizer which supplies
the needs of the soil to which it is
applied gives the earliest crop and
the largest crop.
All Of the phosphorus and the
potash and most of the nitrogen
should be applied at or before plant
ing and the rest Of the nitrogen
should-be applied by the time the
first squares begin to form. On
very light sandy soils it is advisable
to apply more Of the nitrogen after
the cotton is up, but in no case
should this application be delayed
until late inthe season. Where large
applications Of fertilizer are made
at planting time, it is important to
mix the fertilizer with the soil thor
oughly so that it will not interfere
with the termination and early
growth Of the cotton. i
