* Destroy Cotton Stalks at Once Clemson College, Oct. 20?Cleaning of the fields, the destruction of the stalks, and the planting of cover crops constitute the mo9t powerful weapons for weevil fighting now in the hands of the farmers, says Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist, who says that by efficient fall farm management the farmer can dictate to a great extent how many weevils shall pass the winter on his farm. Though much warning has already been given by the entomologists, and though county agents are preaching stalk destruction right and left, many farmers are apparently not convinced of the need for immediate stalk destruction, says Prof. Conradi, and do not realize that this is practically the most important single step in any system of fighting the weevil. / Boll v,reevils multiply in cotton until frost kills it. Many thousands of moiT- in acre of YV cc V HO uiaj vvvu? cotton. Weevils htbernate, that is they pass the winter, only in the full grown stage. Hibernation usually begins with the coming of the first killing frost. They hibernate principally in cotton fields, and standing stalks make for them splendid winter homes. The most favorable condition, j therefore, for the successful hibernation for boll weevils is found in fields were the cotton stalks, grass,] weeds, dead leaves, etc., are left during the winter. Under such conditions the farmers may expect the greatest number of weevils to survive the winter. There is little prospect for successful cotton growing under such conditions. The earlier the cotton stalks are destroyed, the fewer the weevils that will survive the winter, and consequently the smaller the damage to the next crop. As far as possible, stalks should be destroyed two weeks before the first killing frost. In some sections the stalks are uprooted, piled and burned. This method is a very serious disadvantage in destroying a large amount of vegetable matter which should be turned under. Whenever the farmer is equipped with plows and mules so that the stalks may be turned under five to six inches after they have been cut down with the chopper^ it is a ? nlon A lace ofFpptlVP \ai y V C jjiau. XI 1V.OO ~ ?~ _ method is to .graze off all green cotton within a period of a few days. Whatever method one employs, the destruction of stalks must be thorough. The following are a few of the many advantages secured from cleaning the fields and destroying the stalks. 1. A great many full grown weevils are killed outright. 2.-Many young stages in the plants are killed. 3. The full grown weevils not killed are weakened by starvation if the stalks are destroyed two to three weeks before the first frost and these will not have sufficient strength to pass the winter successfully. 4. The removal of the stalks facilitates fall plowing and the planting of cover crops. _ ? 5. This fall cleaning program is also of the greatest benefit generally in destroying the winter homes and the winter food plants of other injurious pests of the farm. The Fifth Sunday S. S. Institute.
