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**

I>uuiids of nitrogen per acre, and our
soils already art deficient in that
n.ost valuable of all elements of
plant food.
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. When
plowed under. Dr. Soule states, the,
stalks put back into the soil their!
nitrogen, while the boll weevils di<\
VThe time to hit the boll weevil" i
Dr. Soule aptly remarks, "is when he
is down. 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.
