C. A. Whittle, Soil Imp. Committee. One of the most effective steps in boll weevil control is the early destruction of cotton stalks. Just as soon 054he rends cor 2>e harvested, go into the cotton field and either turn under the cotton stalks or rip them up with a plow. The object is to destroy the cotton plants. Weevils can not feed on dead cotton stalks. When their food is destroyed thev mi crate to where they can feed or else go into winter quarters. Whether they are thus driven away from your farm or driven into winter quartets the probabilities of their damaging you again next season are greatly reduced. OVer most of the cotton belt it is possible to gather the cotton early enough to permit ot the destruction of the cotton stalks three to four weeks before a killing frost will destroy them. Three to four weeks earlier in going into winter quarters means that death of weevils from star vation and cold will be greatly increased. It7 ts the last weevils that go in to winter quarters that cause damage in the cotton crop the accomplish a complete eradeca tion of the weevil, it is true tha to the extent that this is dom the number of weevils and thei damage will be reduced. . Chopping down stalks leave 1 stubs that sprout new growth 01 which the weevil can feed, there fr?r*? tha nnlv safe wav is to Ut . root the stalks or else, with th aid of a drag chain, to turn ther j completely under the turret a slice. Knowing that many cotto 3 farmers do not plow deep enoug 1 to cover up cotton stalks, th safest general advice is to uprot the stalks with a plow and t watch that no new growth star up. As long as there is green cc ton growth left m thfijieldjtl Y weevil will be tound. s It will crawl into a lock of cc l ton or half open bur to ke< il warm and come out when tl i- sun shines to feed on the grei >f stuff. i- Don't burn the cotton stalb >- Lert them lay. on_.the__ groun at When the ground is plowed th e- can be turned under where th td will decay and add to the orgs ic matter which the soils so mu c- need. Qf Why not organize a commt ity-wide, or county-wide moi ment for the early destruction lt" cotton stalks. It means less tit Is ble from the weevil next year, in e- Good News % 1U _____ r.?
