NUMBER 13. NEW WEEVIL CONTROL METHOD IS DESCRIBED! FLORIDA CLAIM IS THAT 90 PER CENT. OR OVER OF NORMAL CROP IS ASSURED BY STRIPPING AND BURNING EARLIEST SQUARES AND THEN APPLYING POISON. That 90 per cent, or more of a nor mal crop may be insured to the Flor ida grower of' upland cotton! is the clqiin made in behalf of the method of boll weevil control worked out by the agricultural experiment station «»f the University of Florida, accord ing to the preliminary' report of Doc tor Wilmon Newell, director of the station staff. A bulletin on the sub ject has just been issued, following ^te . brief, announcement, from tht* university at Gainesville, Fla., pub lished recently. Dr. Newell says for the method that “on poor soils and good, in fields with fertilizer and those without, the treated fields pro duced practically as much Cotton ss f there had been no boll weevil, while untreated fields—usually only s few hundred feet from the treated fields—produced insufficient cotton to pay for seed and cultivaUon.** ‘While for the present.** Dr. Newell 'onUnuas. “the improved seethed is set rally recommended for Florida jwty. there appears so he no reoeoe why the met he! css not W surreoe- fully adopted to renditions esistiiut rUewWro M the rotten heft.** hide and on which to feed, the wee vil must necessarily turn to the ter minal or growing bud of tite plant for food. It is very easy to literally fill this terminal bud with a suitable poison by means of a good dust gun. 44 At this time, also, the overwinter ed weevils have only a few more days to live* and their instinct to survive urges them to feed liberally. The application of the poison to the ter minal buds at this st^sge has been followed, in* all our experiments, by the destruction of practically »very weevil that escaped capture in the stripping operation. “If the stripping is done about June 6 to 8 .the number of weevils still remaining in winter quarters.

A meeting bas been arranged for nearly every school dis trict in Barnwell County by the County Committee appointed by the State Citizens Educational Confer ence. In a few cases, two or three school districts have been grouped and only one meetipg will be held for the consolidated territory. In order to cover the county, it will bw necessary to have three meetings each night during the week, begin ning with Monday night, December 4th. The Committee has requested every minister of all denominat'ona who occupy their pulpits Sunday. December 3rd. to preach upon the rubjoct of Education. Throe speak ers will make up the program for each of the meetings. Two of these speakers will £e BarnweQ County folk and the third will bo a visiting educator. Barnwell; H. J. Crouch, Elko; Supt. J.

Recommendations of conference held Saturday at the State House on call of Governor Harvey: Destroy the weevils’ winter quarters by plowing under cotton and corn stalks and by cleaning terraces, ditch banks snd other trash on theNarm. Prepare land early and thoroughly. Plant best seed of approved varieties. Among the'best varieties are Lightning Express, Cleve land Big Boll, Delta Type and (on wilt infested land) Dixie Triumph. Use fertilizer sufficient, such as would mak.? a hale of cotton per acre in-an average season without the presence of the weevil. This will vary on individual farmi. -Make applications of soda early, be fore, the first blooms appear. Plant as soon as g-ound is warm. All cotton in a given communi ty should be planted at about the same time (from the first to the middle of April). ^ ' ^ Practice frequent shallow cultivation to keep up fruiting* Practice thick spacing.

Our legislature at its next meet ing should make an appropriation of not less than $r>0,006 with which to create a revolving fund >vith WKTch to purchase calcium arsenate during the summer, or any other period, when they can get it .cheapest and si-H to the farmers during the crop season of the following year, at cost; the price paid by the farmers to be put hack into the state treasury .to be used again the next year. Under this method of handling, the appro priation becomes a revolving fund to be used jear after year until the ne cessity for the use of ralrlmu arsen ate has passed. ^ ... I have no hope* of getting the ju* tionaf gwerfiiner.t to ait for th. tretiod of the cotton groarers f *r several reasons which are not noce<» **ry to raratum Therefore, tt i* n? ing this deal before the legislature makes the appropriation with whi< a to pay for the arsenate; then get oe- hind the legislature and see that they do make the appropriation. Fifty thousand dollars of the taxes of. the .people could not be appropri ated for a better cause. Mr. Editor, I would like to hear from every member of the House and Senate at once as to whether or not they will promise to vote for this appropriation. If they will' then the meeting of bankers, merchants, busi ness men and farmers above men tioned will have easy sailing. This procedure, in my opinion .will solve the problem. I can’t think of any other that will. R. M.
