KILL THE 1923 WEEVILS NOW Destroy Cotton Stalks Early by Plowing Under Or Rip Them Up. C. A. Whittle, Soil Imp. Committer. One of the most effective steps in boll weevil control is the early destruction of cotton stalks. Just as soon fls4he cOiiGu can be 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 they migrate to where they can feed or else go into winter quarters. Whether they are thus driven away from your farm or driven into winter quarteis 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 starvation and cold will be greatly increased. It is the last weevils that go in to winter quarters that cause damage in the cotton crop the were cotton wilk fever be destroyed early and completely enough to accomplish a complete eradecation of the weevil, it is true that to the extent that this is done the number of weevils and their damage will be reduced. Chopping: down stalks leaves stubs that sprout new growth on which the weevil can feed, therefore, the only safe way is to up root the stalks or else, with the aid of a drag: chain, to turn them completely under the turrow slice. Knowing that many cotton farmers do net plow deep enough to cover up cotton stalks, the safest general advice is to uprooi the stalks with a plow and tc watch that no new growth starti up. As long as there is green cot ton growth left in the field th< weevil will be found, t It will crawl into a lock of cot ton or half open bur to keei I warm and come out when th< - sun shines to feed on the greet f stuff. Don't burn the cotton stalks - Let them lay on the ground 1 When the ground is plowed the; - can be turned under where the 3 will decay and add to the orgar ic matter which the soils somuc need. f Why not organize a commui itv-ivide. or countv-wide mov< y ment for the early destruction ( l* cotton stalks.

Ages ago this part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain was from timeuo time covered by the sea. t|nto which streams swept vast quantities of mud, sand, and gravol and boulders which formed thvick deposits that covered large aneas.
