Plow Cotton Stalks Under

Why plow under cotton stalks early?
The Texas Extension Service gives
Is concise reasons as follows:
1. weevil infestation, in spring,
starts from the few weevils that pass
the winter.
2. The weevils, developing late in
the fall, are the ones most likely to
survive the winter.
3. Many weevils will survive the
winter in field where cotton stalks. to-
ge.her with grass, weeds and other re-
fuse material offering shelter, are al
lowed TO remain.
4. Great numbers successfully pass
the winter in Spanish moss and in dead
grass along fences, bitches and other
waste places.
3. The weevil eats only cotton.
6. The weevil breeds only in squares
and bolls.
Z. The weevil can live for several
months without food while alternating
and inactive.
s. Ii does not become inactive until
the first killing frosts.
8. Previous to the first killing
frosts. it can live for only about six
days without food.
10. Killing cotton growth early pre-
vents new weevils breeding and per-
mits only the older ones to enter hiber-
nation.
IL. Very few Of these older weevils
have sufficient vitality to pass the win
ter successfully.
II. Killing cotton growth early re-
moves the food of the weevil. If the
growth of cotton is entirely killed as
early as two weeks before frosts, prac-
tically all weevils will starve before
going into winter quarters
13. Merely chopping or clipping the
stalks off will not answer, the stumps
will throw out new growth ideal for
weevil food.
II. Kill the plant entirely and pre-
vent new growth by setting a pillow
shallow and turning out the plants, or
by some equally effective means.
10. DO not burn crop refuse on the
field. Southern farms need this re-
turned to the soil humus. Merely kill
ing the plants as suggested in No. II,
will, in most cases, secure the benefits
aimed at.

Tor intelligent leadership. Alas, such
in not the case. The second genera
tion of the rich are but the froth on
the boiling pot of progress-the froth
TO pour over the sides or be blown Off
TO get TO the worthwhile body. Our
leadership constantly comes from be-
low.
OF course this condition is hard on
the boys at the top, but it makes it
mighty fine for the fellows at the bot
tom; it makes the fellows down below
realize that they can climb, and find
room at the top. And, while they are
climbing, they can see the evils at the
top and declare that when they get
there they'll not be victims of such
folly. Once in while such good re-
solution is remembered.
The world is progressing, and two
or three hundred years from now we
may find a second generation inherit

and worthy example. Such men will
leave as monuments, no derelict sons,

 Discusses Conditions.

SALT LAKE CliY. Utah. April A. United States Senator Reed Shoot of Utah is working on a new plan of taxation, imposition of taxes on expenditures, which he hopes to have ready to submit to the next regu- lar session of Congress. The senior Senator made this announcement upon his arrival here to spend. the summer.
 'I do not expect any call for d special session of Congress this year." he said My plans call for a good rest. If there is any hitch in the agreement with Great Britain over the debt funding scheme l may have to return to Washington, but I hope there will not be.
 -"At the beginning of the session agriculture was in despondency. There were millions of unemployed and idle cars were noted everywhere on the railroads. While agriculture has not fully recovered, It is on the high road to normal conditions. There are no unemployed except the lazy.
 Railroad Troubles
 "The chief trouble the railroads are having is to get cars enough to han de the traffic Building is on the boom. Deposits in savings banks have increased and interest rates have declined. Our foreign trade Is increasing with leaps and bounds, contrary to all predictions of the calamity howlers. Taxes for federal purposes have been reduced.

 Peace is assured on the Pacific and emigration has been restrained within reasonable limits and the American business world has confi- dence in the future.
