WOULD BEAT WEEvIL
Colonel Ashford Of Birmingham To
 Rush Cotton

ALBANY. Ala, March 24.-Plant cotton late this year in an effort to beat the boil weevil. This Is the plan adopted on The Plantation, country estate of Col. T. T. Ashford of BIr- mingham, he announced today from Belle Nina. where the rural home is locaoted.
 'The idea is not original with me-" Colonel Ashford stated. "The gov ernment experiment stations recom- mend the same general plan. My plan also is the same as that of Maxim and other advocates. when they contend for a 'zoning system, so in the meantime I am going to try starving the weevi1 in the early sum- mer.
 "The weevil will not eat anything but cotton bolls. If you will notice him you will see that by the time the cotton is around six inches high he puts in his appearance and the mo- ment a tiny square is formed, the weevil begins to make a meal of 1t. If we can hold his food away from him long enough. I believe we will defeat the pest.
 This year we plan also to culti- vate the cotton land before the seed are planted, and then put in enough fertilizer to rush the crop forward once the seed are put into the ground"
