WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 21, 111*21 \ HO! LET'S WHIP THE BOLL WEEVIL c f Those farmers and othura interested in the success of the farmers who were fortunate enough to attend the f mass meeting in the courthouse yesterday at noon were well paid for their trouble. Indeed, the speeches were good and they were to the point, j Something definite in the way of in- { formation was given and the information is going to bear good fruit. Several things stand out clearly in j the minds of those who heard the ^ speeches, speeches by men qualified ^ to speak wisely. The first speaker, Mr. Quinerly, is from Lee County, a county in which the boll weevil is in full swing. He is the county demon- I stration agent there and spoke of ^ what he knew from practical observation and experience. The other \ gentlemen who spoke are experts { along the line of agricultural develop- ^ ment# otherwise the Southern Rail- ^ way would not be paying them good salaries and sending them up and down the land to teach lessons the ^ farmers should know. it-,.... .... i j_? J i luui tnu ycsiuiuay we | are able to get very closely the following points: Poisoning, either by * sweetening or by dusting: on the plant in the dry state is not very good at any time and is too expensive for Union County, ( 2.?Cotton can be raised in boll weevil infested territory. 3.?We must not abandon cotton altogether. ^ 4.?We must raise all the food and t feed stuffs necessary to feed man and i beast on the farm. ? i 5.?Then we must plant whatever 'r acreage remains after the number j necessary to do this is set apart in j cotton. 6.?Having planted the right acre- i age to cotton here is the way we i must treat the cotton if we would t control the boll weevil: ? a. Tear up and plow under the old cotton stalks by October 10, that early if possible. Burn the trash and ^ litter accumulated in the hedgerows and upon the terraces. b. Start in early in May to pick- t ing weevils from the hud and later 1 r from the squares. Pick over the field every two weeks. By* these f) two methods you will get almost a 8 full crop of cotton. f The two things given above are the chief aids to raising cotton in boil <; weevil territory. You can carry out i these instructions only when you f plant a small acreage and to hurrv the crop you must use fertilizer. The only other great matter stressed in the meeting was the necessity for raising food and feed stuff's sufficient for our needs and the wisdom of building up the soil by diversification and by planting legumes. The only thing about it is that up to the present time not a single county has ever follower! the advice until one year of complete failure, such as threatens Union County next year, teaches the farmer wisdom. Ix't us hope that Union County will he wise enough to heed the advice before the bitter year's experience comes! If we could but be convinced before the experience it would make very little difference to us that the boll weevil has come.

Most of them ave never in their lives had the joy nd privacy of their own rooms. "They must be taught to love cleanness and to want to live in it.
