Stalk Destruction and Cleaning up the F*rm- -The hordes of weevils that ravage the* cotton crop HXO. the OffftprinR ol parent weevils that pass ed the precedlu$ wlutur successfully. The weevils developing late in fail are the ones most likely to sur . vivo the winter, as' they are not worn out by long (lights and by egg hiving. The greatest nui:? >* t>f weevils will survive in those fields on which cot ton atulHtt togethei wi h grass, weeds and other refuse material offering shelter, are allow td to remain. Ine early destruction of cotton, stalks by chopping and plowing them under, the planting of winter covers, and the cleaning of terraces, ditch banks, edges of woods, and other places of fering winter shelter, constitute the first step in making the- uexl year s crop. Thorough Preparation. ~\N hen a cover crop is grown on the land dur ing fall and winter, it should be plowed under early in the spring so that the land will have ample time to settle' before planting Cotton comes up more quickly and starp? growth earlier if planted ou a firm well-sut Ued seed bed than if planted ou a loose one. If the land has boen in corn and velvet hoans, or corn ana peas during the summer and can he conveniently planted to a cover crop, this should- be grazed during the early months and plowed un der in mid-winter for best conserva tion of nitrogen, and this will give time for the lanrtjo settle and the or ganic matter to humlty before plant ing time. Where no cover crop is used, the land should be plowed in the Tall or early winter tor a heavy clav soil, or in the early spring in the c**e of a sandy soil, and the seed bods should be made up early In the spring so that they will have ample tHne to settle before planting. Clay soils" when plowed in the fall allo"1(1 be plowed, deep to give more soil for root development. No soil should he j plowed deep in the late spring or just | before planting. Planting only Approved Varieties, i Numerous experiments in the boll ; weevil Infested area of this state and j ~other states huve amply justified the recommendations of the loll . muR varieties for .the conditions desig nated: ** ? . ? ! - A Short staple varieties.?

(1) Webber No. 49, (^Helta-Type eh It is i m port ah tqto* have an early fruiting variety bn: it, is also impor tant to have a variety which contin ues to fruit throughout the season. The boll woevil prefers to puncture squares and will do so if they are' present in the ilants; nut if none are, to be found, he will then puncture the ! half-grown bolls. This explains why, it is important for a variety to con- i tlnue fruiting throughout the season. | It should be understood thaj othor i varieties may in a given season and , under favorable conditions yield more than these, but when taken for a per-.j iod of years the above named varie-j ties have proved their superiority. Planting as Eearly as Safety will Permit. Cotton should be planted as earlv as possible after danger of kill ing frost is over and the ground is warm enough to Insure quick germi nation and rapid growth. In order to insure a gooU stand without rep ant ing. more seed ahonld be used than has been the custom in the past. It | \u well to use from one U) two bush- , ols per acre, depending on the ..on- | riition of the land, more seed being used where the land is rough and cloddy or cold. It is a .Ustinct advant-j aKe when practicable to delint the seed because delinied seed will, germ- , inate more quickly by several days under adverse conditions, 'han willj undented seed Jud>ctou?

Rapid Cultivation.-" Front the very ?tart, cotton should be cultivated iu tensivuly 10 prevent wood./ and grass front ever getting a start. To ac complish this, fi extent ahalhvw cultl vattou Is advisable, Cotton should never be cultivated so doop as to de story the roots ot the plant,?, and un der no conditions should weeds and grass be allowed to" get a sturt In the cotton, as they will delay the growth. Collecting Weevi'ls. ? It may be helpful to pick weevils front the young cotton pants before the square* appear whenever cheap labor that costs practically nothing in cash is available. If weevil collecting is doue with the utmost care, giving special attention to places .where the greatust number of we?vlls hibernated, the majority of the weevils may be caught before they lay their eggs. It is esti mated that weevil collecting when upon thorough search leas thou 50 weevils per acre are found, is not. pro fitable. Collecting Squares. ? Whyn low priced labor is available, square col lecting will he helpful If properly done. Collecting should be b^pun about ten days after the first bloom is seen In the field. Hut unleHS.lt is done thoroughly it is unprofitable. About every five ?ays every square must be picked, not only those on the ground, but also those that have dried on the plants, as well as those which show yellow color or are flared. This should be continued dprlng^the first weeks of the square-forming period. During wet soaaona when cultivation in impossible, plow labor may be usod until cultivation can be resumed. Special attention Hhpuld be given to places where a large number of weevil^ passed the winter, such as bottom lands, woody and fields ad: joining waste land or other places where rubbish occurs. It is advised, that all collected squares, instead of being destroyed, be placed in h box having one of its walls made of ordinary wire window screening- Insteud of a box, a barrel covered with ordinary window screen ing may be used and this laid hori zontally at* some convenient place.! The l>ox or barrel must be tight so | that no emerging weevils can escape. The meshea of the wire Bcreens are too small for weevils to escape, yet sufficient large to permit the escape of parasites. Attempts at poisoning the cotton 1k>11 weevil in 1921 gave variable and generally unsatisfactory reunite. Gopi paring the work and results secured In South Carolina with the work and results secured in other states. i? is believed that the results secured in this state during 1921 were due to ad verse weather conditions during the poisoning period, ard that poisoning le profitable when properly done on high yielding land, provided that the weather is favorable Uee of Winter Cover Cro*>6. -The value of winter crops in fighting the boll weevil can not be ovy esti mated. Jn the first place, the l>oll weevJJ can no! spend the winter in a green cover crop, as it is impossible for him to evaporate a sufficient amount of water from his body to fin able liim to live through the winter. In the second place, winter cover orops prevent washing and leaching, thus saving a very large amount of nitrogen, which is our moat expensive fertiliser. If legumee arc used as cover crops, they not only savo a large amount of nitrogen from leaching out of the soil but may actually add sev eral dolfars worth of nitrog?n to the soil. They also graati/ increase tho organic matter la the soil, wnlr' one of the most Important factors in de\ eloping an early cotton soil Hens s. Pullet*. ? One of she im portant pi*6blem* thai the poultry^ man has to deal with is how to get the largest number of egga from his flock How can he do thin? By se lecting pullets to comprise about two thirds of his entire fllo< k rather than by having a majnr'ty of hens Sta flstics show that pullets lay about :\0 eggs more per year than heuH This f* true for both the heavy and the light breed*. The net profit therefore ia la favor of the pullet? Thev lay more eggs In the fall and winter when the prices are High and so tend fur*, ther to increase the profit During the pullet year an estimated pro/it above feed of 1180 per bird Is netted, while for the hen year a profit of per bird is netted.
