F Commit, < hief of the divirion of entomology of CletnHon College. It certainly is a mistake to regard winter tin: off or Idle season of the year. In conversation with a farmer living in the cotton boll weevil territory, tlie writer was prouilly told tli.it this farmer hud destroyed all his eotton stalks early in tlie fall, lie was eon vim I'm iri.ii in! nail none inn rtgnt thing hihI was resting easy and Intended to rout until planting time. That this farmer wan able to got. his crop |)h kml in time to destroy his stalks early wan excellent, but It was only the beginning of the ramfriiln. Ills neighbors hail not been able to destroy the stalks early because it hail not been possible to gather the erop In time. On many farms this ten Is negleetod or omitted because its Importance Is not rnall/.ed Fight the Boll Weevil During Winter. On all the farms where cotton stalks are destroyed early, as well as on all thi! farms where this Is not done, winter will hold a great opportunity before the farmers for a heavy blow .against the boll weevil.
