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.
