A A71L A & 6 TV % SUCCEED ON FARMS IN SPITE OF PESTS How three Fairfield farmers have! met successfully boll weevil conditions in the third year of local infestation is related by the county agent, R. H. Lemmon. Sixty-Four But i iu ky "J. W. Brice, 64, has thu.s ar been able to grow cotton succe:sfully Un der boll wee% il conditions. ',r. Br'ce is a small farmer and does most of his work. This ye:ar he mnde one of the best cottort crops that he has ever made. He planted eight acres of cot ton and made eight hales. One acre made 1,620 pound.- of se'd cotton. Mr. Brice did not u any poison, but picked some square- and worked his crop often. Only 300 pounds of fer tilizer was used to the acre. The kind of fertilizer used w:s a mixture of one-half 16 per cent. acid, one foirth nitrate of soda and one-fourth k: ;t. This cotton v at: grown on rather thin sandy soil. The cotton was planted about the first of May, the variety planted beirg Cleveland big boll. "Mr. Brice lives at home and hs something to sell besides cotton. He will have 100 bushels of corn to sell, 40 bushels of peas and also some sweet potatoes. Has already sold S20 worth of potatoes. Has Built Up His Land "W. W. Turper, an eight horse far mer, is making good under boll we. vil conditions. Mr. Turner planted 95 acres in cotton this year and made 65 bales of cotton. Mr. Turner used no poison of any consequence. The secret of Mr. Turner's success this year was good land, for he had a very poor start.for a cotton crop on more than half of his acreage. Mr. Turner has built his land up principally by feeding steers. His best field of cot-: ton was a field of 46 acres in Cleve land big boll that made 35 heavy bales. The iertilizer used was a rx ture of equal parts of 16 per ce,. acid and cottonseed me,. using .5e0 pounds per acre. "Mr. Turner is not an all cotton farmer by any means. He will sel! 1,000 bushels of oats, and has 500 bushels of corn for sale. Has 2o1! $200 worth of hogs and 8150 worth of sour cream. Mr. Turner is still ship ping cream and has more hogs for sale." Makes Almost Normal Crop. "W. M. Estes, who operates a large farm near Rockton, made almost a normal crop of cotton under heavy bool weevil fire. Mr. Estes plantedi 275 acres in cotton this year and made 223 bales of cotton. This cotton was planted from the 15th to the 25th of April. The variety was Wannamak er's Cleveland big boll. The amount of fertiliz er used was 400 pounds of 8-4-4 per acre. Three hundred pounds was used in lap and 100 in drill at planting time. "No poison was used but all falling squares were carefully picked up un til second week in August. "The land ' was carefully prepared, and was cultivated from once to twice per week. The secret of this fines yield of cotton under weevil condi tions was good soil full of vegetable matter. Mr. Estes started several years ago building his soil by leav ing on the land all pea vines, both broadcast and in rows. He was able to leave these peavines on the land by growing alfalfa for hay. "Mr. Estes in not an all cotton far mner, but will be able to sell abont 800 bushels of oats and about 2,000 bushels of corn from this year's crop. He has also sold $400 worth of poul try and dairy products." County Agent L. S. Wolfe of~ Orangeburg writes that at least two farmers in the Bowman section have demonstrated that cotton can be grown under boll weevil conditions:; "J. C. Hydrick, viho lives on J. . Shuler's farm, made seven bales of cotton on 25 acres this past year. "Marion Smith, who lives on the adjoining place, made 15 bales on] 60 acres. "While these yields are nothing like what was madle by the same farmers before the weevil came, it does show that cotton can be made in spite of the weevil. "Only 300 pounds of fertilizers were used to the acre. "Both of these farmers destroyed their cotton stalks before frost last fall and cleaned up their (ditch banks, fence rows, etc., and prepared their lands early and well. "The cotton was planted early and was cultivated frequently and thor oughly. Their lands being infested; with cotton wilt, they used Dixie seed. "Both are confident that they would Ae made much more c'o on if weather conditions hadi not )cen1 So) adverse and feel that. with oironer Care cot on can be maide sas ce under .weevil conditions.
