Government Makes Annt Boll Weevi ' '*S&sjRv*f''' - . i ^?' ' V * jv . v . Washington, Nov. 23.?The government's policy with regard to all phases of the cotton Industry was outlined tonight by members of tho department of agriculture's cotton council to the cotton conference held in connection with the annual convention of the Association of .Land tirunt Colleges. Presidents, extension direefprs, and deans of colleges of the various* cotton crrowimr states, who have long been active in promoting the cotton industry, und experts in every line of cotton growing'and cotton hiarkeiing were brought together to discuss a definite policy with regard to every phase of the cotton industry. The' conference was preliminary to the cotton states conference to bo held in Memphis early in December'and which Secretary Wallace of the department of agriculture will attend with several government cotton exx perts. ^ Recommendations made by the cotton council of the department of agriculture, after many conferences in which experts in every branch of cotton growing or marketing participated, were laid before tonight's conference, which was developed from the ideas of Dr. H. A. Morgan, pfeuident of the p"n Ivors it ;*> of Tennessee, and who has made several tours of the cotton bolt on investigation for the department of agriculture One of the principal subject" covered in the re: ominundations ; the fight against the boll weevil. To oVorcome its ravages it was said to be of first necessity to mature the- largest possible Crop in the shortest possible time. To :. t-ompllsh that chd the cotton council's recommendations include: Makes Recommendations. ' ' Selection of well-drained, fertile soils; if possible, only land capable of producing, with rcuaonubh fertilization, at least half a bale per acre. Preparation of a good seed bed liberally fertilized. Planting of good seed of improved, early maturing variety, recommended for the locality by the state experiment station and the department of agriculture. Planting of seed of a single va-.rioty by entire communities and counties. ?vlui .11^ uim maintaining or lull stand through proper planting and liberal use of seed, and early and frequent thorough cultivation. Destruction of all possible xveevils. either by hand picking or poisoning, if weevils are numerous at. the time cotton is Just beginning u. .$o square . , Picking and destruction cf * all punctured squares every week or 10 days for a month, if not equipped to poison by dusting. Then, if weevils are still numerous, apply calcium arsenate dry dust poison following directions of department of agriculture or state college of agriculture. Early Picking. Picking of cotton in the fall as rapidly as possible and immediately killing all cotton stalks thereby destroying the food supply and breeding places of the weevil before hibernation period. Burning over, or cleaning \ p, during the winter of woodland, trash or rubbish in which weevils - successfully hibernate. especially in ferarced fence-rows, ditch banks and ravines. Recommendations for controlling the bpll weevil were formulated befbre the announcement ol ".the Florida state plant board of its new method for reducing boll >wecvil injury to short staple cot ">-'c*r? and in view of the promising vesults expected for Florida conditions the eotton council says it was clearly desirable that experimental application of the Florida plan should be Made in each of the different states. Improvement of the quality of cotton, the optton council declares, becomes more essential as the standnrd of living of cotton producers rises, .and as the competition of foreign cotton producing regions increases. Recommendations are made for the oncourage^Uient of production of cotton above . 7-S and up to 1 1-8 inches, there being no economic justification for growing fiber less than 7-8 of ar inch in length It findo tire qu.ti; ity of the crop has deteriorated in many localities in recent years despite efforts of many agencies; private, state and national. The most serioua| obstacle to improvement of the quality of cotton, the comic 1 otn f.. i > 1/,ii n tit i \r 1: i i 111 c ft . * *^rr^ifrtrX**** .* %yw w* cotton are planted in the same lcf?cality resulting quiekly in a blended mongrel breed of greatly inferior quality having reduced ' value. The quality of upland cotton can be 'improved and the improvement maintained only through production of adequate supplies of pure ] / planting seed of superior varieties for which establishment of centers of pure seed production In essential. Restriction of production to a small number of varieties would be materially advantageous both from the standpoint of production .and mqrjteting. Vari6tk-s off Seed. Recommendations of state institutions a? to the best cotton varieties for tho different sections of lhe belt have been a3sembled by the cvotfon cOtindil and endorsed by on Council tal Report on I Control Methods it with the suggestion that federal ' cooperation with the states should be directed toward aiding in the Establishment of pure variety seed v production areas. Special encouraxemfn^it recommends, should be given to increased production of .planting seed from Cleveland, llonc Star and Aeala and varieties similar to those. ' Acnla cotton is extensively grown in Texas and Arkansas while in Oklahoma it 1h now the leading variety^ind from present Indications \villo.?e the only variety grown in that state wthin a few vyears. It lias been grown suc1 ceaafully in North Carolina and j Alabama and Its adaptability to j other sections of the eastern belt j has been demonstrated. It is an 1 early maturing, big boll, storm| proof type of Mexican origin, pro; ducing about 35 per cent lint with fibre 1 1-16 to 1 3-16 inches in lorfgth. This fibre has become very popular with cotton spinners because of its fine character and extreme length. A relative large supply "of pure seed of this variety i is available. .Marketing 1*1*01110111. 1 The marketing problem is rec, ognized by the lotion council to be j~as important as ' the production problem. Changes in European consumers* method of buying have m&de necessary* a rc-adjustment irr the methods of handling itnd fir j nancing cotton in the United 1 dto-ies. Developineht , of coopera;ivo, us well as independent, en-* i \ '."' prises looking toward the orj 'ieilv /narkcting of co: on *.hrou 1 h] put the year have been stimulated thereby. The importance of the cooperative movements which have arisen to meet the emergency is recognized by the cotton council which is'making a careful study of the fuovemcnts and is desirous of being helped in making them continuously successful. Cooperative marketing, the council bejieves, "may affect economies in handling. j not .obtainable by tlio Individual producer, tend to stabilize the 'marketing and insure the (grower |adoqunte recognition^ of the value .of his produce. ? Studies are being made through the cotton council of every phase ?o?, the present system of cotton ? ;hundling and marketing and fundamental information regarding the basis of. hotter marketing, is ,being gathered In extensive re- . , pen roll, work. Economic studies of snecessvul cooperative organizations are practically completed. 'Other investigations ' are -under way, especially of world markets, of the relation of grade to spinning value,, and of the relations of character and staple to spinning quality and to" ryospective manu- ' faoturing demand.
