Picking early weevils and the first two generations of punctured squares is absolutely effective in making cot ton under weevil conditions. I have made twice as much per acre on my own place in Alabama by this method as neighbors who did nothing across the road. Pays to Pick Weevils. Very few if any of your neighbors weevils will conic to your field until later in the year. Meanwhile you can have a half or two-thirds of a cro mlade. It pays to pick weevils if you do not find but two per acre, likewise with squares if you get only a handful per acre. In sonme progressive comm~lunli ties I have known the towvns and cities to raise funds wvith which to pay for early wveevils brought in. Tlh is method of weevils contrvol should ap peal to your' com mon sense. Let me illustrate: If your wife has twenty,-five hiens, for instance, and disposes of twenty of them, can she p~ossily raise as many clhickens as she woauld have with all twenty-five? Anmd if she gathersthe eggs of the others as laid, cani the liens possily ha tch as many chiicks as they' could havi e done had all the eggs been left in the nest ? Certainly not. In other words, raising cotton uder weevil conditions, can be done profitably aond the niost fool ish thing you can doa is to quit planmt ing cotton You will never regret .anything a. much im your life. The sickest fellow I ever sawv is a Southern farmer with no cotton to pick and sell in the fall, especiailly if his neighbors happen to miake a pretty goodl crop.

Can't Estimate tle ainage You can not anticipate weevil (lam age. Some years it will be worse than others and worse in some fields than others. The weevil is like the Irish man's flea-you can't put your finger on hin. About the time you think you have a good crop made, he can eat it up, if the weather turns off wet and you have not been "weeviling" and "squaring." They are still raising cotton all over the South in spite of the weevils, but in few, if any, instances, on the same old basis. The weevil brings new con dition sand they must be met with new methods. In many sections the weevils is now looked upon as a blessing that came in disguise but you know, as they once did, look upon him as a calamity un <isguised. I can name to you num bers of men and counties that would tell you that they would not return to the all cotton system again if they could. Why in one Alabama county the people actually erected a large bronze monument "to Billy Boll Wee vil, who brought to them diversified farming and increased prosperity." Some idea of what weevils can do under favorable conditions may be had from the case of Alabama in 1916. The previous year the State made, if my memory is correct, 1,500,000 bales of cotton and in 1916 with extreme rainfall and consequent weevil dam age, only 500,000 bales-a two-thirds loss with not all the State infested with weevils! Some of the worse af fected counties like Montgomery, Dallas, Lowndes, dropped from 40,000 andI 50,000 bales to from 4,000 to 8,000 imagine if you can what conditions here would be with a 5,000 or even 10,000 bale cotton crop? What Happened in Alabama I have seen with my own eyes fields of cotton that would hide a man on horseback that didn't make planting seed. Many one-mule share croppers with twenty acres planted could not go to gin without clubbing in with one or more others. Towns with four and five ginneries had only one in opera tion, and that on certain days during the busiest season. And the follow i!g year whole plantations did not have a negro on them or a furrow turned, and, saddest of all, many of these lands are now in the hands of outsiders,' who seized the opportunity to buy them cheap. For whole sea Sons not a ca r of mules was shipped into Montgomery, but train loads went out, while in pre-weevil days Abraham Brothers .there did one of the biggest nule businesses in the South--whole sale and retail. Gentlemen, do not allow all your labor to drift away andl do not dispose of your work stock should you have a bad weevil year. If you do we will he several tires as long rallying from the elffet of weevils. You will real ize the mistake too late. I wvould also urge andI plead with you to begin now your plans for at re duced acreage of (ott on to from six to eight ac(res per plowv (you cannot hand le muor' successfully).

It is noth ing less than an agricultural somer sault, but unless the weevil fails to run to form yuo have got to take it -and the sooner it is done the easier and less expensive it will be. Looking to the Future We must begin to fence our farms, pay attention to pastures and forage crops so as to make live stock profita ble. We must see men who have al ways fought grass six mionths of the year and bought it the other six, nurs ing it as they used to do their cotton. An dthey will also be practicing the fundamental principle of good farm ing, which is regular crop rotation and the growing of soil improving, nitro geni gathering crops, such as velvet beans, soy beans, vetch, etc. You vill all riaise some cotton, but not as of old.
