It is through this unified effort a

thing which would be prohibitive e
for years in the making with the &

KILL THE 1923
WEEVILS NOW
Destroy Cotton Stalks Early by
Plowing Under Or Rig Then
up.
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
