his land turned in time to plant
his small grain, then the best meth
cd is to plant the grain in his cot
ton middlcs early, and when frost
has killed the stalks they may be
cut with a stalk cutter and destroy
ed very effectively. 1t is true that
this does not get the stlaks into
the ground but it does get them
down in the green grain crop where
the wccvil can not live throughout
the winter.
During the early days of fighting
the weevil some entomologists rec
commended the burning of stalks as
q method of destruction, and many
farmers have practiced it, but this
practice has in nearly all cases prov
en- very bad; and it is particular
ly bad practice in South Carolina,
because our soils are deficient in or
ganic matter. In fact, lack of or
ganic matter is our first limiting
factor in Gro pproduction, while a
good supply of organic matter is
the very foundation of our boil wee
vii fight and is first essential to
successful cotton production under
boil wccvil conditions. When we
burn our stalks we burn the organic
matter which is so essential to sue
cess, and no greater mistake can be
made in fighting the boil weevil.
Let us plow our stalks under or
cut them down in cover crop with
Il stalk cutter but let us never burn
them.

How to Destroy Cotton Stalks

Clemson College-Practically every
scientist farmer and every one else
who has given any thought to the
matter at all, has agreed that the cot
ton stalks should be destroyed as soon
after picking is finished as possible,
as one of the most important steps in
fighting the boil wccvil, but there is
still some confusion as to the best
methods Of destroying the stalks,
says Prof. c. p. Blackwell, Agrono-
mist, who makes the following sug-
gcstions:
Decidedly the best methods is to
plow the stalks under thoroughly as
soon as possible. If farmer has
good plows and good teams and his
stalks arc small this is not a difficult
matter, but it can not be done clfcc-
lively with onc-horse ploW and q
small mule. Stalks of average size
can be turned under with a walking
ploW and two average mules or hors-
cs. Practically any kind of stalks can
be turned under with three horse
riding pillow if a weed hook or weed
chain is used Large plows and
tractors can turn any size of stalks
effectively. 1t is not necessary to cut
the stalks before blowing them un-
der. In fact they turn under
much better if not cut first.

small grain crop after his cotton and
can not get his co*ton picked and

Read These Twenty Statements
From Texas
1. Weevil infestation, in spring,
starts from the few wecvils that
pass the winter.
2. The wcevils, developing late in
survive the winter.
3. Many weevils will survive the
winter in fields where cotton stalks,
together with grass, weeds and other
refuse material Offering shelter, are
allowed to remain.
d. Great nlmbers successfully pass
the winter in Spanish moss and in
dead grass along fences bitches and
other waste places.
S. The weevil eats only cotton.
g. The wecvil breeds only in
squares and bolls.
7. The weevil can live for several
months without food while hibcrnat-
ing and inactive.
8. 1t does not become inactive
until the first killing frosts.
8. Previous to the first killing
frosts, it can live for only about six

II. Very few of these older wee
wills have sufficient vitality to pass
the winter successfully.
IL. Killing cotton growth early
removes the food of the wccvil. If
the growth of cotton is entirely
killed as early as two weeks before
frosts, practically all wccvils will
starve before going into winter
quarters.
13. Destroy cotton growth early;
if possibly, by October 1.
ID. Merely chopping or clipping
the stalks will not answer, the
stumps will throw out new growth
ideal fo rweevil food.
Is. Kill the plant entirely and
prevent new growth by setting
plow shallow and Earning out the
plants, or by some equally effective
means.
16. Do not burn crop refuse on
the fields. Texas farms need this
returned to the soil humus. Mere
lY killing the plants as suggested in
No. Is will, in most cases, secure
the benefit aimed at.
II. Burn the trash along fences,
bitches and other such waste places,
in midwinter, and thus destroy the
individuals alternating there (sec

18. A farmer cannot prevent wee
wills coming to his cotton in the
spring that another person has WIN
tered.
10. Big things are accomplished
only by cooperation.
20. Organize whole community
for the fight.

of the most oimportant steps in con-
trolling the weevil for the succeeding
season and although farmer, prac-
tcing this by himself obtains impor-
tant benet from it, the great need
for community cooperation in this
work can not be over-estimated. While
it is Il we'll known fact that the wcevil
will have his fall migration period
from year to year, yet this pest mi
CRATES more or less at other seasons
of the year. After the cotton is de-
stroyed by frost the pest nigrates
to gnd suitable winter quarters and
of course in the spring it must again
migrate more or less to find cotton
fields for food. For this reason the
greatest amount Of benefit for this
operation is obtained where farmers
of community band together and
carry out definite fall destruction
and farm cleaning program.
The earlier in the fall this is done
the more effective it will be. Cotton
picking should be rushed as fast
as possible and no time should be
lost in getting this program in op-
Grafton.

Kill Next Years Wccvils Now

Clemson Collegc-Clcaning Of the
fields the destruction of the stalks,
and the planting of cover crops con-
stitutc the most powerful weapons
for weevil fighting now in the hands
of the farmer, says Prof. A. +. Con-
radi, Entomologist, who says that by
efficient fall farm management the
farmer can dictate to a great extent
how many weevils shall pass the Win
ter on the farm.
Though much warning has already
been given by the entomologists, and
though county agents are preaching
stalk destruction right and left, many
farmers are apparently not convinced
of the need for immediate stalk de
structon, says Prof. Conradi, and do
not realize that this is practically the
most important single step in any
system OF fighting the wccvil.
Boil wcevls multiply in cotton un-
til frost kills it. Many thousands of
wecvils occur in each acre Of cotton.
Wcevils hibernate, that is they pass
the winter, only in the full grown
stage. Hibernation usually begins
begins with the coming of the first
killing frost. They hibernate princ-
pally in cotton fields, and standing
stalks make for them splendid winter
homes.
The most favorable condition,
therefore, for the successful hiberna-
tion for boil wccvils is found in fields
where the cotton stalks, grass, weeds,
dead leaves, etc, are left during the
winter. Under such conditions the
farmers may expect the greatest num-
Der of wecvils to survive the winter.
There is little prospect for successful

The earlier the cotton stalks are
destroyed, the fewer the weevils
that will survive the winter, and
consequently the smalle. the dam
age to the next crop. AS far as
possible, the stalks should be de-
stroycd two weeks before the first
killing frost
In some sections the stalks aro
uprooted, piled and burned. This
method is Il very serious disadvant-
age in destroying large amount
of vegetable matter which should
be turned under. Whenever the
tanner is equipped with plows and
mules so that the stalks may be

they have been cut down with the

The following are d few of the

Destroy the Weevil's Winter Resorts

Destroy the WecviPS Winter Resorts
Clemson College-"The earlier cot
ton stalks and other alternating place
are destroyed" says Prof. A. T. Con-
radi, cntomologist, in discussing boil
wccvi control, "thc fewer wecvils
Survive the winter. In infested
fields it is common to find wecvils at
the rate of 5000 to $4,000 per acre
at the time of first frost. 1t is a
well known fact" Prof. Conradi ex-
plains, chat the weevils develop
most likely 20 survive the winter,
as they are not worn out by long
fights and the rearing of the young,
as are the older wcevis. For this
reason developments of weevils in
late fall must be prevented as the
first step in making the next crop. .
An interesting point in this con-
ncction is the fact that experiments
ton stalks were destroyed before
October Is, only 3 per cent of the
weevils survived the winter, where
as destruction Of stalks on October
27 allowed Is per cent to survive;
Nov. 25, % per cent; Dec. 27, 20 per-
cent; between Dec. Is and Jan. IS,
43 per cent. 1t is clear, therefore,
that the earlier the stalks are de-
stroycd, the more effective the re-
suits will be, but that where early
destruction is impossible, it is bet
ter late than never.
The planting Of winter cover
crop in the present cotton fields is
also urged as most important
means of weevl destruction since
weevils can not live through the
winter in growing cover crop, such
as rye, oats and vctch, or clover,
for the reason that in order to sur
vive the winter the wcevil must
"dry out" to the extent of losing
one-third Of his body moisture and
this he can not do in field where
a cover crop is growing. Cotton
stalks not plowed under or burned
in 4 field to be planted to a cover
crop should be cut to pieces and
thrown to the ground as early as
possible by stalk cutter so that
they may be covered by the grow
ing cover crop and thus absorb
moisture, which means death to the
wcevil.
Still another step which should
be taken now is the cleaning up of
ditch banks, fence rows, and other
places where rubbish and trash ac-
emulate il and around the fields.

 America

Florence. May 17.-Dr. Clarence M. Owens. director general of the South ern Commercial congress, in an ad- dress before the Florence Chamber of Commerce last night presented the reverse side of the picture of world conditions to that shown by President Joseph H. Defrees in his keynote ad- dress yesterday before the United States Chamber of Commerce.
 Dr. Owens sees in world conditions today an unparalleled opportunity for American business He said that there were compensations for all the troubles which were the aftermath Of the World war and that America stood today as the only nation in he world which was prepared to grasp it's opportunities.
 Dr. Owens pointed out that the trade balance of each of the Latin American nations stood against the United States and that this country had opportunity to create great business with them today.
 America mer ely answered the call of the crusaders by It's entrance into the World war;" declared the speaker. ~and the benefits which we got from our participation, spiritually, phy- sically and financially far outweighs the hapdicaps it gGve us.
 I've stand on tho threshold of a new world solidarity and America with every asset in her grasp faces an unparalleled opportunity"
 Thore Is every cause for optimism and there is no room for the pes simist in America, he said in closing.

Cullman, grand master at arms; Harwell G. Davis, Mont gomery. grand inner guard, and MT. Parker, Birmingham. grand outer guard.
 Reports submitted by grand lodge officers of work in the Grand Lodge of Alabama during the year showed great progress with a substantial in crease in membership and a great movement toward the perfection of plans for the construction of a home for widows and orphans of deceased Pythians. The special committee which has been working on plans for the home reported that great interest was being manifested in the work by the subordinate nave passed more complete plans can be made.
 During tho late afternoon the grand lodge voted to accept the in- vitation to visit the State Home for Widows and Orphans of Masons. which Is located near Montgomery. Automobiles were provided for all persons officially attending the grand lodge.
 Simultaneously with the meeting of the Grand Lodge. the first annual meeting of the Grand Temple Py- thfan Sisters was started. The Grand Temple was organized in Bir- mingham during the year and all subordinate lodges of this Pythian auxiliary were represented at the first meeting here. The Grand Lodge appointed a special meeting official ly to greet her first assembly of the Pythian Sisters.
