Destroy Stalks Early
To Kill Boll Weevil
j
Only a very small percentage of
cotton boll weevil* deprived of food
by October 1 will live to damage cot
ton the following season, stales W
C. Nettles. extension entomologist,
asserting thai earlv deal ruction of
cotton stalks I* ^n effective way to
reduce the number of weevils going
Into hibernation Stalk destruction
may be accomplished rapidly by
running the stalk cu'ter over them
and then plowing up the stubbies,
thus providing a good fertile seed
bed for growing winter cover crops
To be really effective. stalk tie
? nt ruction must be early and this
early destruction dors not involve any ;
extra operation, for stalks will be
destroyed during the winter anyway,
so, Mr Net lets qsks. why n?H early ?,
"Karly stalk destruction tends to
reduce weevil populations in two
ways", he explains "First, fujrther !
breeding after the crop is picked and.
befofr frost cuines is prevented by
drying out of w?j**vll infested squares
and l?oll-. Second, feeding by adult
weevils is jirevented. many of them
dying before going Into hibernation
and others going into the winter 011
an empty stomach and having reduced
chances of survival In the
coastal section of the state. with
cotton maturing earlier than usual
and with heavy weevil Infestation, j
early stalk destruction appears to
be a very practical means of reducing
weevil numbers" i

If you conduct a retail store, there are four things
, you wish to do:
( 1 ) You wish to HOLD all of your present customers
(2) You wish to sell more goods to your present customers
(3) You wish to REPLACE with new customers the
old ones who move away
(4) You wish to INCREASE THE NUMBER of your
customers.
Thus you have four objectives. Not one of these objectives
can be reached by doing nothing. None of
these objectives can be wholly realized without advertising

South Carolina Leads
In Oat Production
South Carolina produces over 10,000,000
bushels of oats each year,
more than any other middle Atlantic
State. Comparable figures for the
1037 crop compiled by the United
States Department of Agriculture are
as follows:
South Carolina. 458,000 acres in
oats, 10,000.000 bushels production.
North Carolina, 230.000 acres in
oats. 4.830,000 bushels production.
Virginia. SO,000 acres In oats, 1.680,.
000 bushels production
West Virginia, 76,000 acres in oats,
1,520,000 bushels production.
Although the average yield for the
state was only twenty-bushels per
acre, this yield could have been increased
materially If the seed had
been treated before planting and if
the entire acreage had been sown with
the improved variety known as Fulgrain
which made the highest yield
In a South Carolina Experiment Station
test. 94 1 bushels per acre, while
Fulghums. the most popular local variety,
yielded 50.9 bushels per acre.
It is much more disease resistant,
had much larger, heavier grain, and
is a week earlier than Fulghums. It
is muoh more cold resistant than Fulghums.
and is not winter killed by
severe winters in which Fulghums
fr> e/e out It makes a vigorous winter
growth and is superior for winter
pasturing or hay. In a South Caro-'
Una tes' the yield o? oats was in- ?
1 reased from 1'.'. per cent to 40 per
i en: by seed treatment The Department
of Agriculture recommends that
a!! Hfi'tl oats should be treated before
planting
