some very sound advice to the
cotton growers of this section.
The text of the address made by
Mr. Savely follows:
"In none of the territory that has
been invaded by the cotton boll weevil
has the cotton crop been entirely
. abandoned. In sections along the
Gulf Coast that have an excessively
heavy rainfall during the months of
June and July, cotton is planted on a
very small scale, compared to what
was planted before the invasion of
the cotton boll weevil. However, in
the most adverse sections, cotton is
still 'grown in a small way.
"A .few points to be stressed for
cotton production under boll weevil
conditions are planting good seed of

an early type of cotton. This does
not mean the King types of cotton,
which are usually considered the earliest
varieties known. There is a distinct
drawback to the King types of
cotton. The bolls are thin and weevils
can attack and destroy practically
matured bolls of the King type of
rf?r?++/vn nfhpr varieties of cotton,
! such as Toole, Cleveland Big Boll, and
many other early types of cotton,
have a tougher and thicker boll that
is not so easily punctured by the weevil.
A variety of cotton should be
planted that has a habit of growing
throughout the season until checked
by frost. The King type of cotton
does not have this habit, and when
it stops fruiting in the early summer
the weevil turns- to the bolls as a
source of food and a place to deposit
eggs. .
It is the common impression among
the farmers that when the weevil
comes the one thing necessary is to
well fertilize under weevil conditions.
"If farmers will plan a safe course
of farming and will devote some attention
to hog raising, growing corn |
and velvet beans, sugar cane, peanuts,
and other staple crops adapted
to the section, they will find after a
few years' time that they are making I
as much clear cash on their farms
as they ever did out of the cotton
crop. This has been the experience
in south Alabama and scuth Georgia,
and I am sure it will prove the case

"This is a time for wise and safe !
planning by business men and farmers
and not a time for stampede or
panic."
A word of caution is necessary hbre.
There is no advantage in planting r
before the weather is seasonable for
germination and rapid growth of cotton.
Farmers should determine what
is a safe date for early planting and
have the land prepared in advance so
that when this time of planting ar
rives the cotton can be all put in in a
few day's time. Neither extremely
early nor extremely late planting is
advisable under weevil conditions.
"The cultivation now practiced by
[ the best farmers in South Carolina
is exactly the cultivation that will
be needed under weevil conditions.
Push the cultivation from the start
and keep it up until practically time
for the cotton to begin opening. This
will keep the cotton growing late in
the summer and putting on new
squares which will make a good boll
weevil pasture and keep them from

early in the season.
"Under weevil conditions cotton
should be planted on eithe r fertile
land or land that is well fertilized. It
is a mistake to undertake to grow cotton
on poor land that has not been
cultivated.
