KILL BOLL WEEVILS
Necessity of Reducing Number of
Insects Very Urgent.
Most Important Step In Producing Cot
ton as Found by Experimenters Is
Destruction of Foliage and
Squares
(By G. XI. JLLFORD, Special Agent of the
Farmers' Co-operative Demonstration
Work. Jackson, Miss.) ,
This is lesson No. one, and it should
be thoroughly learned. The need of
bo reducing the over-wintered weevils
as to reduce the cost and labor of pick
ing the weevils and punctured squares
to the minimum is very urgent.
There are four methods of reducing
the number of weevils to the mini
mum: First, completely denude the cot
ton stalks of foliage, squares and
bolls, the weevils sole food supply,,
plow the stalks under good and deep,
or burn the stalks at the earliest pos
sible moment in the fall. Second, at
some time during the winter, destroy
the rubbish in and about the fields
which might serve as hibernating
quarters for weevils. Third, when the
weevils appear on the little cotton
In the spring pick them off and destroy
them. Fourth, pick up the punctured
squares and destroy them for at least
one month after the first squares form
on the cotton.
The results obtained by the United
States bureau of entomology, the farm
ers' demonstration work, the Louisi
ana State Crop Pest commission and
thouasnds of successful farmers point
to the supreme importance of the early
fall destruction of the boll weevil's
sole food supply, the squares, small
bolls, and foliag on the cotton stalks.
The conclusion reached by thousands
of experimenters justify me in making
the statement that the most impor
tant step in producing cotton in boll
weevil territory is the early fall de
struction of the foliage, squares, and
immature punctured bolls on the cot
ton stalks. In fact, I feel almost jus
tified in saying that the early fall de
struction of the cotton stalks outbal
ances all other remedies that may bo
employed to destroy the weevils.
In an experiment performed by the
Bureau of Entomology in Calhoun
County, Tex., the stalks growing on
410 acres of land were destroyed early
In October. Careful records kept dur
ing the following season showed that
the destruction of stalks on this land
increased the yield $14.56 per acre.
An experiment was "conducted on op
posite sides of the Guadaloupe river
near Victoria, Tex. The stalks were
burned on one farm the latter part of
September, and on the other they were
allowed to stand until In spring before
planting time. Forty acres on the
farm on which the stalks were de
stroyed made 15 bales. Forty acres
on the other farm made 3 and 1-2 bales.

above; b, same from side. About
five times natural size. Dr. W. D.
Hunter's illustration.
Experiments conducted 'by the Lou
fsiana State Crop Pest commission are
summed up in the following extracts
from Circular No. 28. Where the cot
ton plants were destroyed before Oc
tober 15th, only 2 per cent, of the wee
vils survived the winter to infest the
next years's crop. Where the stalks
were destroyed from October 15th to
October 27th, an average of about 15
per cent, of the weevils passed through
the winter successfully. Where the
stalks were destroyed between No
vember 1st and 25th, an average ap
proximately of 22 per cent, of the wee
vils survived the winter. Postponing
fall destruction of cotton stalks until
the middle of December or later, per
mitted over 43 per cent, of the wee
vils to survive the winter and attack
the next crop. Where the stalks were
destroyed before October 15th only 3
per cent, of the weevils passed the
winter. Where the stalks remained
in the field until December 15th over
43 per cent, of the weevils survived
the winter. These figures will cer
tainly silence all opposition to the
early fall destruction of the boll wee
vil's food supply.
No definite rule can be laid down
as to the exact time for destroying
the sole food supply of the boll weevil
in the fall. However, the rule should
be to destroy the squares, bolls, and
foliage on the cton stalks at the
earliest possible moment n the fall.
It is much better to turn the cattle
In the field, cut the stalks into pieces
and plow them under good and deep,
or cut and burn the stalks at an early
date and thereby destroy a snail
amount cf cotton than to defer the
work until a later date. When the
weevil's only food Is destroyed early
Jn the fall, they will either starve for
lack of food before cold drives them
into winter quarters or will go into
winters quarter: "lank and lean" and
very few will survive for spring depre
dations. There are thre" methods of destroy
ing the squares, bells and foliage oa
the cotton stalks, (1) pasturing, (2)
plowing under, (3) burning.
Pasturing cotton fields Is a good
method of destroying , the squares,
bolls, and foliage the sole food sup
ply of the mature weevils and the in
cubators of the immature weevils
where the cotton fields are fenced and
the number c cattle turned Into a
field is sufficient to eat all the squares,
bolls and foliage in a few days. How
ever, let it be . distinctly understood
that the practice of turning a few head
of cattle into a fifteen or twenty acre
cotton and corn field accomplishes no
particular good. We all know from ob
servation that two or three head of
cattle per acre, even when confined
to the cotton field will eat very little
of the green foliage in one week. And
let us not forget that it is necessary
to completely destroy the food supply
of the mature "weevils and the breed
ing places of the immature weevils at
the earliest possible , moment.
Plowing under cotton stalks is a
good method of destroying the only
food supply of the mature weevils and
of ending the life of all the immature
weevila where there are few stumps
and roots, small cotton stalks, and
where large plows and strong teams
can be had. I have held the plow

prairie section and in rich bottom

tration. lands and I know whereof I 6peab
when I say that it is very difficult to
completely bury average size cotton
stalks. I have hitched three large
mules to a twelve inch steel beam
turning plow with a log chain attach
ment and failed to completely turn un
der average size cotton stalks on land
clear of stumps. I have failed to turn
under large size cotton stalks with
four large mules hitched to a thirty
inch disk plow. In fact, farmers who
have attempted to plow under green
cotton stalks early in the fall laugh
at the advice sometimes given to plow
under the stalks at all times and under
all conditions as a means of destroy
ing the food supply of the weevils.
However, let us use large plows and
strong teams and completely bury the
stalks wherever It can be done.
There is an insufficient number of
cattle on many farms and plantations
to thoroughly and completely denude
the cotton stalks of every vestige of
foliage, squares and bolls in a short
time and it is impossible to completely
bury the cotton stalks on many farms
and plantations, hence; it Is absolute
ly necessary to burn the stalks as
soon as the cotton is picked out.
When the stalks are burned the food
supply of the adult weevils is de
stroyed at once. The weevils in the
immature stages in the squares and
bolls are all destroyed at once, and
the large majority of the adult weevils
perish in the flames especially when
the stalks are burned after sundown.
Weevils retire for the night on the
cotton stalk piles at about sundown.
They seldom move about at night. If
the farmers are careful not to unduly
shake the stalk piles when applying
the torch after sundown, practically
all the weevils on the stalk piles will
be burned.
Of course, if the stalks are allowed
to remain until a heavy frost has come
and practically all of the mature
weevils have gone into winter quar
ters, it is not advisable to burn the
stalks. It is then advisable to turn
the stalks under as deeply as possible.
Surprising numbers of weevils have
been found hibernating in cracks and
holes in the ground and under grass,
weeds and other trash. In January,
1907, in one instance, the bureau of
entomology found 5,870 weevils per
acre, of which 70 per cent, were alive.
Most of the many examinations that
have been made by the bureau of en
tomology have shown more than 1,000
live weevils per acre in the cotton
fields. Thousands of weevils are
found hibernating in corn fields In old
sorghum and cane fields, and in hay
fields.
Deep winter breaking and the turn
ing under of trash, corn stalks and so
on means death to thousands of
weevils. The thousand or more
weevils per acre in the cracks and
holes in the ground and under the
grass, weeds nd trash and corn stalks
can practically all be killed by deep
winter breaking of the land. There
is enough rainfall In 'this section to
thoroughly saturate the soil many
times and for this reason it is not at
all necessary to burn the corn stalks,
grass, oat and pea stubble and other
vegetable matter on the tillable land.
Every acre in cultivation in the weevil
territory should be plowed good and
deep during the fall and Winter.
Many weevils wiil escape from the
fields but all will not fly beyond the
reach of the farmer. Many will be
found along the fence rows, hedges,
ditch banks, and in decayed logs and
dead trees. The cleaning and burn
ing of the hedges, ditch banks and
J fenced rows and the burning of sap
on logs, stumps and dead trees In and
around the fields will destroy many
weevils that would live to do great
damage.

Salvation Through
Christ
By Rev. James M. Gray, D.
Dean of Moody Bible
Institute, Chicago
TEXT Who his own self bare our sing
In his own body on the tree, that we
being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness; by whose stripes ye were
healed: For ye were as sheep going as
tray; but are now returned unto the
Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. I
Peter 2:24-25.
Peter In this
chapter is speak
ing to Christians
who are undergo
ing p e r s e c ution
and suffering be
cause of their
faith at the hands
of the pagans, and
he is urging them
to have their man
ner of living 'hon
est, open and
above board In
the presence of
their c a 1 u mnla
tors, whose own
con versloa may
be brought about
by it. He teaches that Christians
should submit themselves to those in
authority over them, whether govern
mental or Industrial, for the Lord's
sake, and thye should do it even in
the case of those masters that are not
good and gentle, but "forward." In
the course of the argument he adduces
the example of Christ, who, although
without sin, was reviled, but did not
revile again, and whose sufferings
were carried to the extent of the cross.
The description of these sufferings is
fourfold, each one of the four particu
lars illustrating a different aspect of
the salvation men may receive
through him.
The Strange Law of Tokyo.
First, he tells us his sufferings
were substitutionary,"Whohis own self
bare our sins in his own body in the
tree." It is not long ago since there
was an ordinance in Tokyo, Japan, to
the effect that no foreigner could take
up his residence there without provid
ing for himself a s native substitute,
who, in the event of his violating any
law, would suffer the penalty in his
stead. As soon as he arrived the ques
tion would be put to him, "Who stands
for you?" Jesus Christ stands for all
who put their trust in him.
In the second place, he tells us that
the design of Christ's sufferings was
that men "might live unto righteous
ness," that is that they might become
enabled to live that kind of life set
before them in the preceding verses.
I know a lad who, when he does any
thing very questionable and his con
science begins to trouble him, always
asks his mother, "Will that keep me
out of heaven?" If the answer is in
the negative he is satisfied. But the
salvation of Jesus Christ is not for the
purpose merely of getting Into heaven,
but of living right at the present time.
Th Croquet Ball.
There used to be a rule in croquet
that when you struck your opponent's
ball you were "dead" upon it so far as
that play was concerned.. The Chris
tian believer may be said to be repre
sented by the ball, while sin. is the
mallet in Satan's hand. Sin has struck
the believer once in the person of his
substitute, Jesus Christ, and can not
strike him again. When Christ died,
he died to sin in the sense that it could
never again bring him to the place of
judgment, and it is the teaching of the
New Testament that the believer died
in him in the same sense. It is this
fact which sets the believer free to
live a life of righteousness, and it is
the apprehension of it as a fact
through the Holy Spirit, that com
municates the power and inspiration
to him so to live.
The third thing Peter tells us about
the sufferings of Christ is their ne
cessity. "Ye were as sheep going as
tray." Travelers in the Orient tell us
that the tendency of a sheep is always
to go farther and farther astray; and
so man, if left to himself, never will
return to God of his own accord. No
process of education or evolution will
ever bring him there. Man is not a
member of a rising but a fallen and a
falling race, and he who delays to re
ceive the son of God now will be farth
er away from him tomorrow than he
is today. Hence the urgency of th
gospel invitation that "now is the ac
cepted time, today the day of salva
tion." Finally, he teaches us the result of
Christ's sufferings. "Ye are now re
turned to the Shepherd and Bishop of
your Souls." "Returned" signifies that
man in Christ is brought back to that
place of fellowship with God he enjoy
ed before the fall. Indeed, his fellow
ship now is on a 6urcr foundation.
There was a contingency in the case
of the first Adam, but there is none ia
that of the second. The latter has
kept the law as well as paid the pen
alty for those who receive him, and
their restored condition ia thus eter
nally secure.
Let me exhort you therefore to re
ceive the Saviour by a definite act
of faith today, that the peace of God
may become yours the peace that
springs from the knowledge that your
sins are forever put away. And thus
receiving the Holy Spirit as the furth
er gift of God, ycu will have power to
live a life of righteousness unto him.
