" "1-~ stalks are
fThe earner tut- ?
destroyed, the fewer the boll weevils
??; that will survive the winter and consequently
the smaller the damage to
L-; the next crop. We advise as far as
p possible the stalks be destroyed al
X. ' least two weeks before the first kill||p
tag frost, for the early fall destruction
of cotton stalks is practically the
P/. 'most important single step in anj
% -system of fighting the boll weevil. Ir
P other words, cleaning of the* fields
destroying the stalks, and the plant?(
ihg of cover crops constitute mosl
powerful weapons for weevil fighting
-now in the hands of the farmer, who
by efficient fall farm management car
dictate to a great extent how manj
-tfeevils shall pass the winter on his
fhrm. This fall cleaning program is
also the greatest benefit generally ir
destroying the winter homes and the
yrinter food, plants of other injurious
pests o{ the farm.
Boll weevils multiply in cotton unti:
frost kills it. Many thousands of
them may occur in each acre of cot*
ton. Weevils hibernate, that is thej
g;-'.' pass the winter, only in the full
grown state. ^Hibernation usually
f. "begins with the coming of the firsl
i'r killing frost. The weevils hibernate
,< ; ; principally in cotton fields, and stand..ing
stalks make for .them splendid
a A winter homes. The most favorable
conditions fo? successful hibernatior
3 " ' *
Js found in fields where cotton stalks
grass, weeds, dead leaves, etc., are
left during the winter. There are
little prospects for suCcessfufl cottor
growing lander such conditions.
In some sections the stalks are up
rooted, piled and burned. This has
the very serious disadvantage of destroying
the large amount of *egetable
matter wjiich should >e turnec
under. Whenever the farmer is
Equipped:' with plows and mules tc
!v>' ' t . , '
turn under the-stalks five to six inches
after they have been cut down witt
j * ..
sl chopper, it is a very effective plan
Hg:> A- less effective method is to graze
y . . off all green cotton within a few days.
"WStai^ver' the method the destruction
of stalks must be thorough,
v SomS- of the many advantages se,
-cured from cleaning the fields and
?.* t
destroying the stalks are: (1) A great
many full grown weevils are killed
outright: (2) Many young stages in
the plants are killed: (3) The full
?<; ,t grown weevils not killed will be
weakened by starvation if th^ stalk?

fore the first frost and these will not
have sufficient strength to pass

crops.
Where stalks are chopped and
plowed under, the ian'd should be

weevils from escaping.

r MAKING GOOD PROGRESS
WITH COOPERATIVE ASSO.
t OF COTTON GROWERS
5 . Columbia, Sept. 26.?At a meeting
5 of the organization committee of the
i South Carolina Cotton Growers Coop
erative Association it was decided to
' extend the campaign for signatures to
j contract into the counties of York,
I Richland, Darlington, Lancaster,
I Orppnwnnd. Dorchester. Lexington,
| Chester, Dillon, Marlboro, Kershaw,
r Oconee, Xewberry, McCormick,. Lee,
I Laurens, Calhoun, Greenville, Pickr
ens and Saluda.
t The committee expressed great dei
light with the progress being made in
- the Campaign. Great enthusiasm for
I the movement was expressed from all
> sections of the state.
t The committee has issued a state,
ment setting forth the benefits of the
* cooperative marketing system as
> compared with the present marketing
i system. Extracts from the statement
follow:
"Who controls the present system?
> Spinners, .speculators, and gamblers.
J "Who controls the cooperative
! njkrketing system? Producers acting
I through their Vooperative sales
> agency.
> "What is cost of operating the
> present system? The producer pays .
i the profits and expenses of the long |
j line of buyers and dealers who oper-j

l 1 samples per bale, for weather damages
and many other wasteful and
unneccessary charges.
I "What is cost of operating the co;
operative marketing system? Cotton

to the warehouse of his selling agency

charges. When sold by the as?|

the association, will be returned to
the growers. Wasteful samplings,
weather damages and the profits of
many handlers will be entirely elimi- !
nated. ]
"What is the present selling plan? :
Dumping as soon as harvested. \\>hu Ii
forces a year's supply of cotton on the
market in four or five months and inevitably
breaks th'e market.
What is the cooperative selling ,
plan? Orderly and systematic selling
throughout the year, according to demand,
which will be a factor in stabilizing
the market and minimizing
bear raids and efforts of speculators
to break the market and lower the
price.
"Grading and stapling in the present
system is entirely in the hands of
buyers. It is a matter of common
knowledge that cotton in the hands
of farmers is almost universally undergraded
and staple values ignored
in local markets, which are the nfarkets
in which farmers sell.
"Grading and stapling in the cooperative
system is in the hands of experienced
and competent men in the
employ of the cooperative marketing
association. Every member will get
the full benefit of the grade and
staple value of each bale he produces.
This alone will mean an average
.profit in excess of $.10 per bale.
"Weather damage by the present
system. From an average of $6 or
more than $25 per bale?all paid by
farmers.
"Weather damage by the cpoperative
system. None. All cotton of all
members will be stored and insured in
bonded warehouses.
"Results of the present system.
Poverty, child labor; hardship and
distress, poor churches, poor schools
and unsound and unstable business.
"Results of the cooperative system.
Fair staple prices representing cost'of
production and profit. Independ%
ence, comfort, good churches, good
schools and stable business."
