Secretary. , o Plowing the Weevil Under. Mr. Soule has given a suggestion for combating the boll weevil that merits the attention of every farmer in Georgia and that should be acted on promptly to get the maximum results. Cotton stalks now in the field from which the whole cotton crop has been picked, points out Dr: Soule, arc still infested with boll weevilsj in large numbers. They can he found , inside of the soft bolls on top of the cotton stalks. These bolls will never': open. The weevils already have de-1 Proved the cotton they contain.When the first hard frost conies the1 weevils will leave the bolls and so into winter quarters. Hence It Is necessary, if they are to be destroyed in the field, to work on them at once, and to that end T)r. Soule suggests that farmers all over Georgia?and, indeed, all over this part of the belt?go into the cotton fields at once* with heavy turning plows and bury the cotton stalks and j the weevils. To burn the stalks in the fi? M , would destroy many weevils, I")r.j Soule agrees, but he questions the! wisdom of that method because it would destroy from forty to ftp** "UK WHO LOOKS BEFORE HE LEAPS BUILD.

Plowing up the cotton stalks and letting them die and rot in the fields would destroy some weevils, but would not destroy nearly so many us plowing thent under, and would lose a good portion of the nitrogen contained in the cotton stalks.

It may not he good sportsnianshsip, but it's mighty good eco comics." The boll weevil does not hesitate to strike the cotton grower when he is down, as the grower well knows; and whenever a grower has an opportunity to strike the weevil when he is down, he ought to sei7e it| without a moment's delay. Every pair of boll weevils destroyed now, declares Dr. Soule. are equivalent to the destruction of seven to eleven million boll weevils next spring and summer. This destructive insect multiplies with pro-, digious rapidity. Perhaps no other! insect known to science can equal the boll weevil in that respect. The wee-J vils now in the cotton fields are the "seed crop" for next year. Every' pair that escapes destruction now,' and that go into winter quarters, will produce enough weevils next spring to fill a whole cotton field. "Fight them now" as suggested by Dr. Soule, is good advice. The farmers have their plows, their mules, their tractors, their waiting fields In the next three weeks a tremendous slaughter of weevils can and! ought to take place. o Fork.
