BOLL WEEVILS WILL t
BE THICK IN 1922 <
In connection with recent boil-^ee. <
wll letters issued by this office I wish 1
to bring to your attention a letter is- I
sued by Dr. B. R. Coad, Bureau of ]
Entomology, U. S. Department of 1
Agriculture, in charge Delta La bora- t
tory, Tallulah, La. under date of <
February 14, 1922, reading as follows: i
"Cotton farmers are now busy ar- <
guing pro and con the advisability of 1
reducing or increasing the cotton 1
acreage for 1922, but in the nrnneroi; *

mention made of one of the most in; 1*
portant factors "which should have a 1
very positive influence on the cotton 1
program for the coming season. This
is the prospect of boll weevil abun- 1
dance. For quite a number of years i
the Delta Laboratory of the Bureau 1
of Entomology, U. S. Department of
Agriculture has been making a series 1
of studies each season to serve as *
basis for predictions regarding the
severity of spring infestation of boll
weevils. The records for 1922 have t
just been completed and for compari. o
son with these we have similar rec- t
ords for the past eight years.
The number of boll weevils emerg. a
ing from hibernation each spring de- r
pends on two things; the number en
tering hibernation in the fall and the 4
percentage of these surviving. Last j
fall the majority of the cotton bel*
saw conditions which permitted an unusually
large number of weevils to
enter hibernation. The winter wea
ther has generally been abnormally

severe weather has passed although
there is, of caurse, still a bare chance
of temperature low enough to influence
weevil survival. Because of this
mild weather a high rate of weevil
survival was to be expected. Our recent
records have more than verified
this expectation. During the past few
dao'B we have examined over 3600
pounds of Spanish moss from 15 diff- ?erent
selected points representing the
dflfferent types of hibernating! conditions
found in that district. This
moss is carefully examfined and the
number of weevils both live and deaf *
noted. From this we compute ' ^
ratio of both live and dead weevil.*
per ton of moss, and past experienc<
haB shown that this affords a very C
fair index to the emergence which
may be expected. The following tabic
shows the figures for the past eight J
years: l
Live weevils Dead weevils
per ton per ton
Year of moss of moss *
191g 10.0 , 414.0 r
1916 24.0 136.0
1917 8.0 144.0
1918 1.7 48.0
1919 4.0 &3.U
1920 9.5 15.8
1921 22. 26.0 .
1922 127.0 2.2 ?
From these figures it is seen that _
we have far more live weevils per ton
of (moss in sight now than at any time
since these records were started and
only a very few dead weevils. (
course the records on the presence of
dead weevils cannot be accepted as
too accurate because it has been fount
that many dead weevils fall out o
the moss during the winter and are
thus lost. The most striking feature,
however, is the fact that the record
for his year show more than five
times as many live weevils in hibernation
as in the highest preceeding year
since 1915. These records are check- "
ed in other ways, among the different ?
methods being a series of cages located
near Tallulah, Louisiana which are f
installed with a known number ol I

shelter provided and the survival
of weevils in these cages determined
In the spring. We have just ccJroplet
ed an examination of this series of
cages and find that these figures verify
those quoted in the moss examinations,
and show the percentage oi
survival to date to be much big
than in past years.

Columbia, Feb. 20.?A veritable tidal
wave of enthusiasm for the cooperative
marketing of cotton is
sweeping over the state, and officials
of the South Carolina Cotton Growers'
Cooperative Association says Ghat
contracts are coming in by every mail.
The visit of Dr. Clarenoe Poe to the
State last week when he delivered
speeches in Newberry. Aiken, Johnston
and Bamberg has been followed
by gTeat activities in those counties.
Dr. Poe strongly presented the plans "
of the association at those points, told
the successful completion of the campaign
in North Carolina where over
400,000 bales had been signed and of
the splendid business men chosen to
head the North Carolina association.
He predicted success for the South
Carolina campaign.
"If the fawners of South Carolina!
do not enthusiastically support the
movement on foot to organize and to
put in successful operation the South
Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative
Association, they need never start
another farmers' movement because
it will be a failure," says J. H. B.
Jenkins, Jr., vice president of the
Htoples Bank and Trust Company of
York, in a letter to W1. B. Wilkerson,
county director for Western York.
Mr. J enkins declares that the association
"will do more to bring about
and regulate orderly marketing of
cotton at a fair profit than anything
else that can be done" and says:
"We have quite a number of fiarmers
among our stockholder. We
number hundreds of farmers as pa- ,
rons, and we are and will be just as
willing, if not more so, to assist financially
famnert who are members
nf the Association as those who are
not. The fact that the Government
through the great War Finance Cor[>orative
Marketing Associations and
lave expressed a willingness of oxend,
and are already extending, financial
assistance in larg<e amounts, is
in itself evidence of the soundness of
the proposition. It is a great pity
:hat the farmers of South Carolina
lave not long before now organized
such an Association. They would now

"The farmers who do not join in
.his movement its not only standing
n his own light but is retarding the
uture development of the south."

FARMERS LAYING FOUND
PROGRAM INCLUDES "LIME,
North Carolina Sets Example B
Bins At Railu
(By W. M.
Farmers In many sections of the
8?uth are laying a good foundation
for prosperity by adopting a system of
diversified farming that includes livestock
in Its program. They are liming
their lands, raising soy beans, clover
and alfalfa, sowing winter cover
crops to conserve their soils and establishing
permanent pastures.
We pass some badly managed and
impoverished farms in these sections,
however, when looking for examples
of Improvement along these lines? >
the farmer who Is helping to bring his
section to the front in soil building
and crop improvement work, and in
livestock raising, has some neighbors
who are still-plodding in the old nits. :
It is probable that more good exam- I
pies of progress in the business of I
farming, and of effective co-operation
between business men and farmers, :
can be found In the Piedmont region
of North Carolina than in any other
part of the South, and it seeins that
there are more active county agents
there than in other sections, if we are
to judge by results of work reported.

prosperity. They have learned by1
means of object lessons, as well us
from reports on soil Improvement and
increased crop production issued by
tbeir State Experiment Station, that
"Limestone is the mother and foundation
of all soil fertilization and that
Boil fertilization is the mother ami
foundation of civilization," and for
many years the use of lime has been
general on farms In that State. The j
trouble however, has been the same
as that experienced in all sections of
the country where limestone must he
shipped In by cur loads. Many were
deterred from using it by reason of
the facts that it had to be purchased
In car lots, and unloaded and hauled
to the farms regardless of other prolog
farm work or weather conditions.
This difficulty was met and overcome
gome years ago by farmers' organiza
done in Ohio, Illinois, Virginia and
other States by building limestone bins
at railway stations where pulverized
limestone could be stored and sold in
any quuntity to members of tie assignations
and others?farmers coming
to town with loads of produce, taking
back loads of llinestoi>e and spreading
It on their lands with little Kss of
time ami at small exjiense. It was
not surprising, therefore, to lea-n that
farmers of North Carolina were adopting
this plan, and that bankers and
other business men were co-operating
with them ki erecting storage bins on
railroad sidings at points convenient
for serving large agricultural communities,
because, as intimated above,
the "tar-heels" seem to keep in the
front ranks of progressive agricultural
movements, as they did in other movements
in time of war, when they won

that name by leading and "sticking" a
fast to the ground they gained. u
The writer attended a meeting of 1
farmers in that State last November, u
It was called to celebrate the eomple- t
tion of a limestone storage bin, which d
hud been erected by a prosperous and p
enterprising farmer and a "banker of p
that section. These gentlemen put up 6
the bin to be operated for the benefit n
of the community, the charges for operating
to be just enough to cover the t
cost of handling material. They nad h
used lime for years on their own *
farms, with excellent results, and he- v
in? 1 roadminded and having the right ^
public spirit, they adopted this plan s
to help other farmers of their county. &
The county agent, who led In the a
work of erecting the first limestone c
storage bin in the State, called tbe
meeting to order, stating that the idea F
of bringing the farmers together was A
to help them to Increase the producing
power of soils: "Our fertility,"
he said, "is a big problem, not only
for our counties but for our towns. _
Prosperity depends on soil improve- ~
ment." He said that the farmers of
tbe county had the problem before
them last spring of getting lime at the
right time, and finally solved it by g
building a limestone bin. "Lime bins," q
lie stated, mean having lime on hand ^
the year round?liming more land for
less money and lime hauled at the
T
IN, STATESVILLE, N. C.
right time. 'There Is no question 2
in the minds of the fanners g
of this section," he continued,
"as to tlie need of lime. Our bis;
problem is feed, now that we are get- ^
tin;; into the dairy and cuttle business. M
Liming will enable us to grow the P
feed. The foundation for good farm- p
ing is red clover, and that makes our 2
limestone storage bins essentia!." ^
In conclusion he said: "The farmers *
are becoming interested in this work. 1

a limestone bin at every railway fid- J<

He mi^ht have added, "There should p
he one in every ujr cultural eouiiuuni- 3
ty of the South." Talks
along this line were made by
several practical fanners, one speak- 1
er said, "We have got to put a little
more Christianity into farming. The M
land you are working does not belong Pi
to you?you have a title, but you can't gi
ino\e the land. Nature gave it to us rj
in trust, to pass on in as good condi- ^
I *"11 I.'* II U il> ? null n I I ovi; ? VII av
or a much better condition. If we 1
fail to iio this, we commit a sin."
The county apmts and farmers in Ji
atiemlaiice seemed to be of one mind. M
J.opmies need lime?they must g-ow p;
legumes for feed and soil-improvlnj; p,
crops therefore the building of lime- gj
stone storage bins is about the most
<2l
important work they can enjtaas in for
the general pK>d. And the business
