destroy all cover in which weevils may
margins Of woods and cleaning up
around stumps. Fodder and hay
stacks should not be allowed TO re-
main near cotton fields.
Third-Cotton should be literally
fertilized with a quick acting fertiliz-
er, containing about SO pounds of
available phosphoric acid per acre,
ammonia and potash to be used ac-
cording to the character and relative
fertility of the soil. All applications
Of ammonia should be put down before
the middle of June. Over-doses of
potash have a tendency to delay ma
turity. Where the weed grows tall
only small amount of ammonia
should be used as it always delays
maturity and encourages overgrowth
of stalk. ~ ...
Fourth-Early planting of approved
varieties Of cotton with plenty of seed.
The farmer should save at least bu.
of good seed for each>acrc he is going
to plant. He should plant at least two
bushels before April 1 in the lower
half of the state and before April 10
in the upper half of the state rcserv-
ing bushel per acre. If stand is
iloC ocCufcu ny tllc llISI DldHCHlS ne
should plant over not later than April
10 in the lower half or April 20 in the
upper half. If large quantities of seed
are used good stands are usually Sc
cured from extra early paintings and
the experience is that under boil Wee
vii conditions the greatest crops are
always made from the earliest plant
ings. If stands are not secured at a
comparatively early stage the land
intended for cotton should be put into
other crops.
Fifth-Cotton should be left thick
in the drill. This distance should vary
with the height Of the natural growth
of the plant, 3 or inches not being
too close as q minimum and 8 or 10 in.
as a maximum.
Sixth-The question Of poisoning
for boil weevi lis still in the expert
mental state but your committee be-
lleves that poisoning with calcium ar
senate is valuable, especially If done
at the proper time and under favor
able conditions. Heavy damage from
plant lice following dusting with cal
cium arsenate early last August
makes us doubtful as to this treat
ment when applied at that time. The
weevils should also be picked from the
plant IN the early stages and as soon
as puncturcd squares arc noticed they
should be picked up twice per week
until midsummer Rapid and
thorough cultivation at all times
should be employed and the crop
should be gathered as fast'as open to
insure high grade. IN no case
should more cotton be planted than
can be properly handled at all stages
and promptly picked by the labor on
the farm, for it is the height of folly
to plant q crop and let the boil wecvil
eat it up for lack Of attention or al
low it to become blue in the fields for
lack of picking force.
The experience of many of our best
farmers and numerous experiments
conducted under the auspices Of the
Experiment station prove that it is
absolutely essential in almost all sec

tions to use around 800 pounds per
acre of acid phosphate under cotton
In most cases if the amounts applied
varied much, either above or below
this standard, the crops were less pro-
| fitable.
Everywhere it must be insisted on
| that the individual farmer and tenant
| raise an abundant supply of food and
| feed and that this food and feed be
properly conserved. The man with a
crib full of corn and hay, a smoke
house full of meat and molasses, q
hundred bushels of sweet potatoes in
storage house, and garden full of
vegetables cannot be put out Of bust
ness by the boil wecvil or any other
pest G
Storage houses for keeping sweet
potatoes should be everywhere con-
structed as this is one of the greatest
crops we have and one which every
farmer can raise.
Special Suggestions For Lower Coast
al Plain
Within SO miles of the coast it is
doubtful whether cotton can be profit
ably raised under boil weevil condi-
tions except during very, dry summers
following unusually cold winters If
planted at all the acreage should be
small, planting should be done extra
early with extra early approved varie-
ties and only the quickest acting fer
tilizer used, In this section the main
reliance of the farmers must be live
stock to Craze the large cut-over areas
and large area should be planted to
corn and velvet beans for winter food.
Peanuts, winter and spring growing
truck crops, sweet potatoes and in
some sections melons must, besides
livestock, be the main reliance of the
farmers of the lower coastal plain.
Pork and beef can be as chcaply rails
ed in this area as in any section OF
the country as the hogs and cattle can
be carried on pasture or field crop
grazing the entire year.
For Middle Coastal Plain
Approximately SO to 100 miles in
land in this section cotton produc-
tion is also hazardous but if the acre
age is limited and due care exercised
the chances are in favor of fair yield
during most seasons. A rotation sug-
gcsted for a, 30-acre farm (of course
it must be varied to meet individual
needs) is 10 acres of corn and velvet
beans (or peas or soy beans) to be
glazed off by cattle and hogs after
gathering corn; 10 acres of cotton and
peanuts (say acres Of cotton and d
of peanuts); and 10 acres of small
grain and truck, sorghum, sugar-cane,
etc. Watermelons have proved to be
9 good crop for this section where sat
isfactory marketing arrangements can
be made.
For Upper Coastal Plain and Sand
Hill Region
The cotton acreage here may be reg
ulated according to the. available lab
or to take care of cultivation, wee
wi control and prompt gathering. In
no case, however, should more than
80 per cent be put into cotton and to-
bacco together. A liberal acreage
should go into corn and velvet beans

TELLS OF ARMY OF

High Officer Gives the Associated
Press II Lengthy Statement on Army
and It's Operations.
Dublin, Feb. 25.--A high officer of
the Irish Republican army has given
to the Associated Press lengthy
statement on the army and it's opera
tiOns. This is the first authorized
statement thus made public, but the
identity Of the officer and the circum-
stances OF the interview can not be
disclosed, nor Is the correspondent

formation supplied regarding the to-
tai number Of forces, both regular and
irregular"-as the flying columns

freely. answering unhcsitatingly every
question prcpounded, but he enjoined
publication OF various statements.
which, he said, "might give informa-
tion to the enemy"
He emphatically denied the recent
declaration Of Major Gen. Strickland,
in command Of the British troops,
that the Irish republican army organi-
zation was dismcmbcred and repudi-
ated the suggestion that the remark
able activity in the last fortnight was
demonstration to dsprove the as
scrtions that the morale OF the VOL
unteers was impaired.
The recent increase dn the number
OF attacks on the crown forces" said
Col. X was only natural develop
ment due to the perfccting Of our or
ganization. From now on there will be
further extension and intensification
OF our operations In all parts Of tho
country"
He intimated that the republican
army would soon begin the Issuance
OF military communique, probably
weekly, and added:
Our system Of communication Is not
yet very rapid but 1t Is certain"
He smiled at reference called to
his attention that Michael Collins was
head OF the republican army, saying:
THAT is n delusion persisted In not
only by the public, but by the BRITISH,
government" He did not say whether
the direction OF the Republican army
was In the hands OF ono man or q COM
mittee. There is large reward out
standing for the arrest of Collins.
Col. x. said:
"rhe Irish republican army dots the
entire country Our plan rs to ac-
count for every district either by bat
tali0ms or companies; every foot Of
ground is being surveyed and studied
with reference to the most promising
spots for ambushes and with regard to
