in time saves nine, is another.
Take time by the forelock, is still
another. The above but em pha.
sizes the importance of leaving
no stones unturned, Of wasting
no time, ia combating the boil
weevil menace. This year about
q half acrop was made in this
county, and our farmers were in.
deed fortunate in making even
one-half a crop. Many sections
from the Texas border on up to
the highest point the weevil has
reached have not done so well
when the pest appeared. The
fact that. We escaped q total
failure is no evidence that next
year we will be so fortunate. It
is possible to make cotton in

be done at the price of eternal
vigilance and constant work.
Grass must not be allowed to
grow under ones feet. It is q
fight to a finish where the farmer
will win or lose. whore the wee

The cotton crop is about all
gathered-and one of the effectual
means of fighting the weevil is
by destroying the stalks which
furnish places of abode for the
weevil through the winter. To
burn the stalks is not good bust.
ness, but to plow them under aud
plant cover crops is good busi-
ness. The turned under stalks
adds to the soil while burning
them deprives the soil Of valuable
and necessary matter. The cover
crop is a recognized and valuable
method of soil building.
The stalks should be cut up and
plowed under as soon as possible, j,
the sooner, the better. Next
years crop will to q large degree
be measured by the manner in
which the boil weevil fight is
waged this fall and winter.
