The Bf U-Weevil Comiag.
The Cotton BoH-weevil is still
making steady progress through
the cotton growing area, ana it
gives every indication that it will
eventually be present in every
section where cotton is grown.^
The Boll-weevil has not dis
appeared’' in Texas or any «)ther
section where once established.
It is not “becoming harmless.
It is true that many localities
which once abandoned cotton on
account of weevil have again be
gun to grow it, and in some sec
tions they grow nearly as much
as they ever did. Whether this
is because the weevil is less des
tructive tlian formerly, or wheth
er it is because the growers learn
how best to escape its ravages,
it is hard to say; but prehaps
both these things are true.
But wherever the weevil comes
in every State yet invaded, it has
resulted in an almost complete
demoralization of cotton-grov^ang
for from 3 to 5 years; and then
when the community does settle
back to cotton again, it is with
more intensive methods on a
smaller acreage, more reliance
on other crops and live stock,
and not such a complete depen
dence on cotton alone. It takes
from 3 to 5 years to bring about
this change, and in going through
such a change the farmers must
make considerable sacrifice.
The weevil fairly knocks the
props from under the credit
system, at least for a few years.
The tenants and borrowing
farmers Vt'ho are never ready to
face the new conditions, are not
able to meet their obligations in
the fall, and the merchants fail
or refuse to advance on cotton
next year.
It is not our object here to dis
cuss the appearance, habits and
injuries of the Boll-weevil, nor
to discuss the ways in which it
is combatted. These things have
been placed before the public
repeatedly, and any cotton farm
er in North Carolina can ^et
literature on the subject by
writing to this office. But we do
want our farmers to be looking
ahead and planning the course
they are to pursue when the
W'cevil gets here. Go ahead^with
cotton if you wish, but all^ the
time keep asking yourself: “Can
I do this when the weevil comes?
If so how? and if not, what can
I grow to replace the cotton?'’
Of course, we all hope that
the weevil may not reach us. We
hope that if it does reach us it
will not be as destructive as in
the other sections; but we warn
you that we hr ve no basis for
believing that we will be favored
in this way. So the only wise
course is to be studying the
methods of meeting the pi^oblem
if it comes. In Missis.sippi and
Louisiana some farmers have
done this nicely. Beginning
years in advance, they, gradually
turned their attention' to other
crops or to hogs or cattle, but
kept on raising cotton up to the
very year when the weevil was
upon them, and then they were
prepared to drop the cotton alto
gether and make a good living
from the other things. When
the community settles down to
cotton again these farmers can
return to cotton or not, as they
wish.,
The Boll-weevil now occupies
all of Texas except the western
portion, neighboring parts of
Oklahoma an ’ Arkansas, all of
Louisiana, about two-thirds of
Mississippi, and the southwestern
corner of Alabama. Allowing for
normal increase in the rate of
spread for the future, it seems
reasonable to believe it will reach
North Carolina in from 6 to 1,0
years—that is, from 1916 to 1920.
A few years ago we all thought
that it would come more quickly,
but while it is coming steadily it
has spread only gra,!dually, with
out any big jumps; so it seems
that we will have several years
yet in which to prepare for it
Remember, I do not say that
you must “quit cotton.” I do not
say that the weevil will of a cer
tainty reach us at all. But I do
say that it will probably reach us
and that it is our business to
be ^ studying the methods by
wiiich we can best meet it when
it does come. Meanwhile keep
on growing cotton if that is your
preference, but keep posted on
the progress of the weevil, and
see to it that you are not caught
unprepared when the time
comes.
