PUSH COTTON IN WEEVIL TERRITORY J. C. Pridmore, Agronomist Inquiry—“How would you fertlliz* to beat the boll weevil to the cotton?" In growing cotton under boll weevil conditions, severnl factors must be given consideration. Tbe land should be well drained and well supplied with vegetable matter. Good seed of a va riety adapted to tbe locality should be chosen, and. of course, a variety that will mature its fruit quickly and resist wilt should be planted. Fer tilize liberally, and properly cultivate. On the heavier soils, such as the fed clays and clay loams, the use of a fer tilizer carrying 10 per cent to 12 per cent phosphoric acid, 3 to 4 per cent nitrogen and a small per cent of pot ash, if it ran be hud. sliculd be used.

They are a legume and, therefore, do not require much nltiogen. The hay is abundant and the feeding value high. The oil mills afford a ready market for the Ite.tn, and the cake which is produced by the mills has .Splendid feeding values.
