As he gives some good advice relative to fighting the l oll weevil, The People takes pleasure in reproducing his letter in full. He writes as follows: I received your letter a few days i go and have been very busy with everything—court, cotton and pea nuts have kept me on the go—and I hardly know what I have been doing. Almost every farmer in our County 'has raised some peanuts and they all want to sell them.

We lest about 1000 bushels of peanuts on ere of our places this year by cutting the hay and the vines off first. It rained so much here and the grass grew so fast, and labor was so scarce until it was impossible to keep the grass out of the peanuts and we could not very well have dug them until we cut the grass and vines off. Then, in stead of digging the peanuts the very next day, the tenant on this place waited about ten days, and by that t ; me the little tubers that hold the peanuts on the vine, had rotted off and almost ell of the peanuts stayed in the ground when we tried to dig them, so much so that we did nat dig about acres of them.

Over many farm* in the southern pert of the state the fruiting of the totton is over, and the stalks can be destroyed without any loss in the crop, 'this may be accomplished .by chop ping the stalks wtih a stalk cutter i nd plowing them under. W’here horse-power is available they may be Mowed under by having a beam at tached to the plow to knock down the stalks so that they may be covered. It is immaterial what method may suit the individual farmer best, but U allow Stalks to remain on the cot ton field is a most dangerous practice u ider boll weevil conditions and is a sign of very careless farming. Des- tioying the cotton stalks is the most effective control against the weevil. uoBaae mt Bha ■ | • i- ‘ *x TV. nog ore pfBtp 1 n ef th< mm* i o* » | * the* •m %B0'f BB%Mb an*s ptsau Bmp use* 1 Oh pmm#bnb##hb OOieUhe ta the Bdh ap < g# tf^Bl dPQM Bi ta foruhee paw hmtBmg dboB w 1 lOe r | ■agy af h mm* • saouanretpCe aad • 4b4 H ef (No h astafy of Ehe uae Ma flkaae boa 1 t pewmiee reread s a the < «owi vee f Bam *■ B w aiiempt^mp { i ef the *4d mem Ore* ef j itMm la aMUaa ta or SMMahem ahe a *eh la Bh Bed Ctaaa argaana l nited Btatee (Iffwere A* B *-• t * 04 Rappk ae* ef BOeemeH < I'eeahms The Booee ef hee yea*g pMot that eeefy j Maaim*d a •• giPva a*d aa the load tfMed teaard* ; o\rt\l ED ON Mil BTH PAGR) Of gw namt aad thaa ha* The Beaer mi hee i * * *f ef Bhi IBB* f«*r th Pama have l Nov. rh ta he d*cie m the team of »«»U, «« aei! .he entire county, been organised aad on Sunday, 2nd., they will start their work l to accomplish their aim.
