r Recommendations Mad? by the Exki
tension Servioe of Clem son College.
| Clemson College, Dec. 12^?>The Extension
Service of Clemson College
m > has published Extension'Bulletin 48,
, "Farming under Boll Weevil CondiW
Hons," and has secured through Senator
N. B .Dial the publication of a
j revision of the "Report of the Soath
I 'Carolina Boll Weevil Commission."
m Both of these publications, which
may be had from county agents or
EH from the Extension Service, Clemson
W College, S. C. .contain valuable sugHl,
gestions on growing cotton under boll
iF weevil conditions. Some of these are
B * given below.
S Stalk Destruction and Cleaning up
^ the Farm.?The hordes of weevils
that ravage the cotton crop are the
l offspring of parent weevils that passI
ed the preceding winter successfully.
1 The weevils developing late in the
? fall are the ones most likely to surf
. vive the winter, as they are not worn
1 put by long flights and by egg laying,
i The greatest number of weevils will
-survive in those fields on which cot
Bfc ton stalks together with grass, weeds
Br and other refuse material offering
W ishelter, are allowed to remain. The
K early destruction of cotton stalks by
Br - popping and plowing them under,
I the planting of winter covers, and the
cleaning of terraces, ditch banks,
edges of woods, and other places offering
winter shelter! constitute the
first step in making the ifext year's
crpp.
f ^Thorough Preparation.?When a
f WIOl V/IUp lygivnu vu luu touu u?u
f Ink fall and winter, it should be
I' plowed under early in the spring so
that the land will have ample time to
I settle before planting. Cotton comes
up more quickly and* starts growth
jWy earlier if planted on a firm well-setHP
tied seed bed than if planted on a
ET / loose one. If the land has been in
EL- i corn and velvet beans, or corn and
^ peas during the summer and can be
conveniently planted to a cover crop,
I this should be grazed during the <
early winter months and plowed un-1
der in mid-winter for best conservation
ofk nitrogen, and this will give
time for the land to settle and the organic
matter to humify before planting
time. Where no cover crop is
used, the.land should be plowed in
the fall or early winter for a heavy
clay soil, or in the early spring in
% the case of a sandy soil, and the seed
beds should be made up early in the
fViof qu will hniro amnio

time to settle before planting. Clay
soils when plowed in the fall should
be plowed deep to give more soil for
root development No soil should be
plowed deep in the late spring or just
before planting.
Planting only Approved Varieties.
?Numerous experiments in the boll
weevil infested area of this state and
Other states have amply justified the
recommendations of the following
I" varieties for the conditions designated:
A. Short staple varieties.?(1)
\ Cleveland Big Boll for wilt-free land.
' (2). Dixie Triumph for wilt-infested
land.
B. Long Staple varieties.?(1)
Webber No. 49.. (2) Delta-Type Web-.
It is important to have an early
fruiting variety but it is also impor
BKfr tant to have a variety which eontinHr
lies to fruit throughout the season.
K The boll weevil prefers to puncture
BR squares and will do so if they are
R present-in the plants; but if none are
to be found, he will then puncture the
K half-grown bolls. This explains why
M It is important for a variety to conV
tinue fruiting throughout the season.
K It should be understood that other
? wowafiao mo-v a ph'vpti season and
laixcucc uuuj ... v> 0- ?
under favorable conditions yield more
k than these, but when taken for a perr
* iod of years the above named varie|p
ties have proved their superiority.
B":'- Planting as Eearly as Safety will
L Permit.?Co:ton should be planted as
0 early as possible after danger of kill-1
m ing frost is over and the ground is
W warm enough to insure quick germix
nation and rapid growth. In order to
insure a good stand without replant
|TN ing, more seed should De usea man i
fX has been the custom in the past It
/ Is well to use from one to two bushels
per acre, depending on the condition
of the land, more seed being
>\ ' used where the land is rough and
ftk . cloddy or cold. It is a distinct advantBp
age when practicable to delint the
seed, because delinted seed will germ-.
Sk inate more quickly by several days,
Bg under adverse conditions, than will
W undelinted seed.
B Judicious Fertilizing.?A liberal apK
plication of commercial fertilizer is
v Y. also advisable, and this fertilizer
should contain an abundance of phos- j
as this inPTwiient hastens 1
I the maturity of the crop up to a point1
> where the plant has all it requires in J
its growth. On most soils in this state j
about 300 pounds of acid phosphate I
per acre will give most profitable results.
A liberal amount of ammonia [
hastens the maturity of the crop up [
to a certain point. Too much am-;
monia delays the crop as does too
" - 1 T ~
I little, fience trie impunauce ui. n<tv .
ing the correct amount of ammonia
for each soil. Each farmer should
/ study the need? of his soils and use'
the amount of ammonia which he j
finds best for his land. Potash is necessary
on most of our ssr?dv so ls and
on some of our Piedmont soils.
I Where a good system of farming is
E practiced . in the Piedmonf section, .1
Ip| ' Where the crops are rotated and or-j

game matter supplied, ny pouaau
should be required. An excess of potash
also tends to delay the maturity
of the crop, and for this reason moderate
applications will generally give
best results. A well balanced fertlizer
which supplies the needs of the
soil to which it is applied gives the
earliest crop and the largest crop.
All of the phosphorus and the potash
and most of the nitrogen should
be applied by the time the first
squares begin to form. On very light
sandy soils it is advisable to apply
more of this nitrogen after the cotton
! is up, but in no case should this application
be delayed until late in the
season. Where large applications of
fertilizer are made at planting time,
if- is imnnrtnnt tn mix the fertilizer
with the soil thoroughly so that it will
not interfere with the germination
and early growth of the cotton.
Rapid Cultivation.?From the very
start, cotton should be cultivated intensively
to prevent weeds and grass
from ever getting a start. To accomplish
this, frequent shallow cultivation
is advisable. Cotton should
never be cultivated so deep as to destory
the roots of the plants, and under
no conditions should weeds and
grass be allowed to get a start in the
cotton, as they will delay the growth.
Collecting Weevils. ? It mar be
helpful to pick weevils from the
young cotton pants before the squares
appear whenever cheap labor that
costs practically nothing in cash is
available. If weevil collecting is done
with the utmost care, giving special
attention to places where the greatest
number of weevils hibernated, the
majority of the weevils may be caught
before they lay their eggs. It is estimo+A/i
fViot woovil rnlloirtinsr when
upon thorough search less than 50
weevils per acre are found, is not profitable.
Collecting Squares.?When lowpriced
labor is available, square collecting
will be helpful if properly
done. Collecting should be begun
about ten days after the first bloom
? XI C .1 J n.. 4 U i'n
is seen in me ueiu. out, umcso xl is
done thoroughly it is umprofitable.
About every five days 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 during the first
weeks of the square-forming period.
During wet seasons when cultivation
is impossible, plow labor may be used
until cultivation can be resumed.
Special attention should be given to
places where a large number of
weevils passed the winter, such as
bottom lands, woods and fields adjoining
waste land or other places
where rubbish occurs.
It is advised that all collected
squares, instead of being destroyed,
be placed in a box having one of its
walls made of ordinary wire window
screening. Instead of a box, a barrel
covered with ordinary window screening
mav be used and this laid hori
zontally at some convenient place.
The box or barrel must be tight so
that no emerging weevils can escape.
The meshes of the wire screens are
too small for weevils to escape, yet
sufficient large to permit the escape
of parasites.
Attempts at poisoning the cotton
boll weeyil in 1921 gave variable and
?nwnnfinfopaanUd Prtm
geUCiailjr uuoaiH9iav,wi; .
paring the work and results secured
in South Carolina with the work and
results secured in other states, it is
believed that the results secured in
this state during 1921 were due to adverse
weather conditions during the
poisoning period, and that poisoning
is profitable when properly done on
high yielding land, provided that, the
weather is favorable.
Use of Winter Cover Crops.?The
value of winter crops in fighting
the boll weevil can not be over-estimated.
In the first place, the boll
weevil can not 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 enable
him to live through th3 winter.
In the second place, winter cover
crops prevent washing and leaching,
i
tnus saving a very large diuuuut 'JL
nitrogen, which is our most expensive
fertilizer. If legumes are used as
cover crops, they not only save a large
amount of nitrogen from leaching out
of the soil but may actually add several
dollars worth of nitrogen to the
soil. They also greatly increase the
organic matter in the soil, wmr*one
of the most important factors in
developing an early cotton soil.
Hens vs. Pullets.?One of the Important
problems that the poultry^
man has to deal with is how to get
the largest number of eggs from his
flock. How can he do this? By selecting
pullets to comprise about twothirds
of his entire fllock rather than
by having a majority of hens. Statistics
show that pullets lay about 30
eggs more per year than hens. This
is true for bo'h the heavy and the
light breeds. The net profit therefore
is in favor of the pullets. They lay
more eggs in the fall and winter when
the prices are high, and so tend further
to increase the profit. During
the pullet year an estimated profit
above f?ed of $3.80 per bird is netted.
wh;le for the hen year a profit of
$2.F2 per bird is netted.
Why then keep ? large flock of
Vrd> whi^h will decrease the profits
rather th?n increase them? Keep
mor? p oints and fewer hens in the
flock. It pavs and means better re
suits all round.
