GROWING COTTON UNDER BOIL.
WEEvL CONDITIONS.
By B. w. Kilgore.

On recent visit to the cotton
boil weeyil section Of Mississippi,
Louisiana and Alabama, had OBJ
portdnity to observe the changes
Thought about in farming BY the boll
weeyiI and the conditions under
which cotton is grown in the pres
ence Of the bolI weevil.- No cotton
is grown on the low, level lands
along the coast, and comparatively
none until the land begins to rise
and is sufficiently elevated and
located so as to give good drainage
and warmth to the soil SO that the
cotton win grow off quickly. The
lower lands are devoted TO corn and
food and feed crops and livestock,
and the elevated lands are put i'll
cotton, Even then the acreage is
greatly reduced. This would Indicate

siple, using early maturing Narie
ties. When side applications 81
fertilizer are used in the way Of
top dressers or other fertilizer, they
should be put on right around the
time Of thinning the cotton SO as to
let It act early, Late applications
Eof nitrate of soda, or other like fer,
tihzer, will help the boil weevil BY
giving it food for development and
multiplying late in the season by
making the crop grow late. Gener-
ally il viii be best TO use all Of the
fertilizer before planting, especial
Ely where there is a reasonably good
subsoil, and nitrate OF soda OF other
quick acting kinds Of ammonia will
give best results. Cotton planted in,
marrow rows and left thick in the
drill, as stated above, will not grow
large, but will begin to fruit early,
the cotton being made largely on
the stalks instead of on the limbs.
Small fields Surrounded byswoods
are difficult to handle because the
boil weeyils live over winter in the
trash in the woods and come out
early and attack the cotton nearest
the woods. Large open fields are
desirable for this reason. The null.
| IMPLICATION of the boil weevi can be
reduced by picking up the. squares
as they fall early in the season, and
these will usually be found nearer
the ends of the rows next to the
woods or along ditch hanks where
the boil weevils have lived over
during the winter Poisoning with
arsenate of lead is effective but this
is, to an extent, expensive and can
only be afforded on reasonably good
cotton. Good practice requires that
Just as soon as the cotton is gather
ed in the field, and this should be
Just as early as it is possible after
opening, the stalks should be piowed
under, and thus custom should be
followed universally if the section
is to benefit by the practice. This
huries boil weevil and destroys his
food before the coming of cold wea-

| These in general are the methods
Of growing cotton under boil weevil
conditions. Other crops, of which
we have d considerable number,
must be grown more largely than
they have heretofore so as to pro-
duce a large quantity Of food and
feed crops for the farms and for
the towns. Live stock, especially
hogs, poultry and dairy cattle, must
be grown more largely than hereto
fore, but no large attempt should
be made in this direction suddenly
except by those experienced in live
stock raising. 1t is better to, grow
gradually into the live stock indus
try, but all the meat, poultry and
dairy products for the farms and
for the towns should be grown in
the cotton section. This would
