Plow Under Cotton
Stalks Before Frost,

The number OF weevils living

lessened by this method, says the
Extension Division Of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
Ii the cotton stalks are destroyed
sometime before frost most of the
wcevils will starve before time Of
alternating, while many Of those
that do hibernate will be so weak.
ened that they will not survive the
winter.
In test made by the United
States Department Of Agriculture in
Florida where over 1900 weeviIs
observed the following results were
noted:
fIibernated October [, only 0:3
per cent survived winter.
Hibernated October l6, only as
per cent survived winter.
Hibernated November / only 9.3
per cent survived winter.
Hibernated November Is, only
14.5 per cent survived winter
Destroying the stalks means the
of millions of weevis
and a comparatively small number
left to emerge in the spring.
The best method OF destroying
the stalks is to turn them under.
This can be done with a two horse
plow by attaching one end Of a
heavy chain to the end Of the
and tie other to the
beam Of the pillow just above the
point. This forms a loop that
drags all stalks down in the furrow
so that they can be completely GOV
cred. Tractor drawn disk plows
are very effective in getting stalks
properly buried, especially when
the ground is hard and dry
DO NOT BURN STALKS.
The question Of burning stalks
has been brought up from time to
time but when it is remembered
that vegetable matter and nitrogen
are the two things lacking in most
Georgia soils, the folly OF burning
money is at once apparent. The
stalks necessary to produce a yield
of 300 pounds OF Isn't cotton per
acre before the boil wecvil came,
weighed 1876 pounds and contain
ed 227 pounds Of nitrogen, worth
at present prices about four dollars
and fifty cents. To destroy all this
orgonic matter and nitrogen is a
severe drain on the land, and in
addition The wecyil is not as cffec-
lively destroyed since many will
escape from the fields during the
pulling up process.
