Ihe lmportem-e of rapid and clean cultlva' (ion and the early destruction of cotton stalks In tho fall by plowing uuder deep two or three weeks before frost in order to ibury a number of weevils and disturb hi* hibernating place* were especially emphasized. Mr, K. 10. Hall, plant breeder, who K.w? been for sometime testing different types-r.nd varieties of cotton with a view of establishing best varieties for weevil conditions, suggested cotton varieties and methods of planting for this county.

For wilt infested grounds he recommended Dixie Triumph and Dixie. Mr. Hk*H laid empbtisht on the impor tance of getting cotton started early and pushing it along to beat the weevil be cause early cotton is the only hope for n crop. Tie added the caution however that care should be exercised not to plaut so early that the first planting will fail to produce-a stand, because the sec ond planting which would then be neces sary would be late and suffer from weevil damage much more.
