'iie oi iiw most enec.ive s.ips m boll weevil control is the early des- truct.on 'f cotton stalks. Just as soor aj the co-ton can be harvested, go in to the cotton field and either turn under the cotton stalks or rip them up wi'n a ptow. the object is to des troy tli cotton plants. U'eev Is cannot feed on dead cotton stalks. hen their food is destroyed they n.gratc to where they can feed or else go into winter quarters. Whether they are thus driven away from your farm or driven into win ter quarters the probabilities of their (.amag.r.g you again next season are greatly reduced. Over most of the cotton belt it is possible to gather the cotton early enough to permit of the destruction of the cotton stalks early there would, of course, be an end of the weevil. While one can not expect that cot ton will ever be destroyed early and completely enough to accomplish a complete eradication of the weevil, it is true that to the extent that this is done the -number of weevils and their damage will be reduced. Chopping down stalks leaves stubs that sprout new growth which the weevil can feed on, therefore, thj only safe way is to uproot the stalks or else, with the aid of a drag chain, to turn them completely under the fur row slice. Knowing that many cotton farmers do not plow deep enough to cover up cotton stalks, the safest general ad vise is to uproot the stalks with a plow nd to watch that no new growth starts up. Aa long as there is green cotton growth left in the field, the weevil will be found. It will crawl into a lock of cotton or half opened burr to keep warm and come out when the sun shines to feed on the green stuff. Don t burn the cotton stalks. Let them lay on the ground. When the ground is plowed they can be turned under where they will decay and add the organic matter which the soils so much need. Why not organize a community-1 wide or county-wide movement for the early destruction of cotton 3'o''-s. It means less trouble from tLj .v..viU next year.

This time it met their approval and they dismis.-el h:m. After another song an ihv freshmen were allowed to depart until the game, where the yelling wes almost continuous. Randolph-Macon plaved on the de fensive near.y all the time. Thev were weak on pqjiting th ball, anil State men did some fumbling that would have been disastrous to Sta.e if Randolph-Macon could have taken advantage of it. The "Woi;. puck." as the State's team is called, scored a touchdown in each of the three last quarters, but failed to kick g I'll the first time, making their score 2d. They fumbled the ball on the r two inch line, but one of their men fell on the ball for a safety, giv ing Randolph-Macon 2 points. Saturday night the Freshmen were lined up for the continuation of the celebration. They marched down Hillsboro street, keeping step by counting as soldiers do when they are marelrng, and singing the rest of the way. Their route included the Cnpitol and Meredith College, where they jilied the results of the game to the g:rls. After stopping long enough for the girls to sing, and themselves singing "Good-night, la-! dicsdies, ' they continued their march to Peace Institute. On the way they parsed the Governor's mansion where they gave one yell for Governor Mor rison. At Pcice, after each yell, the yell hader would-ask what thev wanted. One man got out of tune and wanted 'ye cream instead of a song. The girls wi o expecting us and had their songs ready which is the usual cus- :o:n uttir our w.r.ning a game.
