TO FIGHT BOIili WEEVIL
Columbia, J&u. 6.?A plan for combatting
the Poll weevil which, 'he
says, has been successfully used In,
other sections of the belt, was outlined
by R. M. Mixson, president of
the South Carolina Cotton association
tost night, Mr. Mixso* said that he
had traveled extensively In tho boll
weevil section this year and that he
had interviewed the farmers who' had
met the situation the most successfully.
His statements presents the ,plan
used by most of them. '
xne doii Aveevu is in our .miast,
and in. the language of a distinguished
gentleman, that is *what is the matter
with our midst.'
"This is a very serious mfetter and
calls for considerable thought and a
lot of work:
"We can't give utf cotton planting
eternally. Providence has given the
South the soil, the sunshine and rainfall
necessary to growing and producing
cotton. As far-as we can do so
profitably, we ought to produce cotton.
The world is depeudent on the
staple for clothing. And the South
u better adapted to the production of
cotton than any other section of the
world.
"But there is' no moral or legal
reason why the South should grow I
cotton at a loss, either from the rav- (
ages of insect pest or on acount of
inadequate prices. The riutn who, in
the face of past experience and the
present invasion of the boll weevil
will increase his cotton acreage is a
fit subject for the lunatic asylum.
"This is a serious situation, one affecting
the financial interest of the
state, but not one to get panicy over.
J^et's preserve our wits. Dont go off
at a tangent. Liet's look the matter
squarely in the face, and with cool deliberation
based upon the best information
that we can get concerning]
the situation, meet it squarely and
with determination. The situation
can bo met, it has been met and so
far o- the interests of the farmers are
concerned, has been in a large meas

interests long enough. He has beei

"I have spent four months this fal
in the boll weevil seations of Florida
Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. I in
vestlgatcd the best 'posted planters ii
these states and discussed the bea
method of combatting the boll'weevil
My views are based upon the best in
formation 1 could get from the bca
farmers in the states mentioned.
"First: Plant not over ten acres i:
cotton to the plow. Don't plant an
bottoms in ctton. Bottoms are th
home of the weevils and subject t
greater damage by them. Plant you
cotton on uplands.
"Second: Prepare your lands thoi
oughly by a thorough breaking u
early. Harrow the fields over at lea*
once before bedding for cotton.
"Third: Put your rows three and
half to four feet apart. Bed by Apr
1.
"Fourth: Put from 600 to 80
pounds of a high grade fertilizer t
the acre, a 10-4-4 preferred. Th!
must 'be distributed as you bed tli
land.
"Fifth: If you have any soda to uf
apply it on top of the bed just aftc
the cotton ocmes up.
"Sik: Before planting' harrow yot
beds so as to got the soils in first cla*
condition for the germination of th
seed. . *

"Eighth: Commence cultivating

"Ninth: Plow youj- cotton every

Light and rapid cultivation Is an important
factor In the fight.

"If the avenge planted will follow
these plans, I see no reason why he
should not make a fair crop of cotton,
most especially with a normal June
and July. So far as rainfall is concerned,
excessive moisture is very favorable
to the boll weevil. ,
