ite y WEEVIL PROOF.
>ral|'' \ :
nf The following ktory from the Atlanta
Journal should prove itaterest1
tng to all cotton growers:
I * XT MX ? "
v. ?. vwario, woo uvea two miles
from Marietta, Ga., grew more cotton,
thi^ year on a one-horse farm than
his neighbors did on four times the
same acreage. He lives in the midst
of a boll weevil-infested section, and
yet he took no special precaution
against the weevil, he used no calcium
arsenate and employed no oth- j
er poisons. '
That is why his neighbors say ,
be has developed a boll-weevil proof j i
cotton! i
Cochran got a poor stand, has poor ;
land on which to grow his eotton, and I
used little fertiliser, and yet his yield 1
was at the rate of a bale and a half
an acre. If he had got a perfect stand,
he believes that hs would have grown <
eight or nine bales.
The important thing about the
cotton that Mr. Cochran has developed
after six years' experiments
that it has a boll so thick and j
tough that that the weevil seems Unable
to penetrate it. Possibly he has
hit upon the thing that will save the
cotton crop of the south.
Before picking time it was in- ;
terestlng to go through Mr. Cochrane
cotton and see how the weevil had attacked
these bolls in the effort to get ]
at the cotton, and had failed. The
bolls reminded one of battle-scared
forts, with shell holes and dents all i
around- <
Every boll showed where hundreds (]
of weevils had sunk their "borers"):
into the rind, yet when the boll was i
opened, clean, pretty lint was found 1
?unhurt in any way by the weevil. 1
The thickness of the rind and the '
toughness of the inside lining or par- 1
chment is the reason why these bolls !
have been able to resist the weevil, i
| For the most part the rind on Mr. i
Cochran's cotton is about one-eighth
I of an inch thick. He tells of the 1
number of times he has watched wee- 1
vils start to bore through the rind
I or how they will go down as far as 1
I their "feelers," and then back out (
and look for some other place where '
! the boring is easier. Almost invari- 1
ably the rind ha^s proved too much '
for the weevil, i. '
Mr. Cochran, h ^""thas spent 1
even more time ^ develop !
the inside lining >UUSOh~S aiake the
rind thick, and as s-ibbons ,ae has to- '
flay a type of cotto ypewrif>ne of the !
toughest inside lini*.?3 Jfginable. If '
the weevil succeeds r trating the
rind of this boll an positing its J
eggs, the grub hat* I y from this ]
egg will never be abiV o reach the 1
heart of the boll.
The point may be raised that* J
the boll weevil does not wait until j
the boll Is fully developed to begin ,
1 its attack and for this reason that a
ough boll will not solve the weevil ,
I roblem. The answer is that Mr. Cochran's
field in the midst of a heavily )
infested district showed as high as
GO fully developed bolls to a stalk .
this year, and an average of 43 such
bolls. ,
So heavy ar^ the locks and so pro- i
lific is the cotton that W. A. Nichols ]
of Smyrus, declares that undr the ;
best conditions he could pick 50
pounds of cotton in a working day, 1
and under adverse conditions he
picked 275 pounds in four and one i
half hours. This boll weevil proof
cotton averaged 1,300 pounds of seed 1
cotton to a 500-pound bale of lint 1
cotton this year.
Mr. Cochran has been workinar for '
six years to develop a cotton that
would resist the boll weevil, but he 1
has said so little t&cut it that few 1
people realised what he was doing unMASTER'S

I.- ui a half |to*ii 'v/ndltion, this
[?oU would be far more difficult to!
puncture than any other common va-'
riety of cotton.
"We believe that with perfect I
stand and Perfeot cultivation this cot- .
ton would make a bale and a half to
the acre under present boll weevil
conditions.
Six years ago, Mr. Cochran started
experimenting to try to develop 1
a cotton that would be immune from
the boll weevil. He selected white,
green and brown seed from cotton
that he thought would be best suited
to his purpose. After two years of se- 1 I
lecting and rejecting he found several
bolls with something of 'the
thick and tough inside lining that he .
was looking for. Immediately he dis- <
carded the rest of the cotton and begah
seeking more types of the weevil-proof
cotton. This year he had
faOoH onAtiwK ?* 1 ? ?* *
vu?u?u iu yum i?ir giifa crop
?with the result already told, that
he grew a bale and a half to the acre I
and had a crop that the weevil
seemed unable to harm.
Mr. Cochran took his cotton to the
Southeastern Fair, where it attracted
the greatest attention. Experts on "
cotton seed oil said that the seed 1
from this cotton is worth $45 a ton
for the oil content alone. Llnters experts
said tbat the lint was as nearly
perfect as any that had been de- ^
eloped.
The cotton was entered in the
contest for ten best stalks and took
first place over every other variety. \
After the fair closed, Mr. Cochran
put his cotton exhibit at the state
capital, where it can now be seen.
There seems no doubt about the .
fact that he has developed the nearest
thing to boll weevil proof cotton .
ever grown in the south. t
