Both of the above methods can be studied at the farmer's leisure during the next year or two. It is the indi rect means of balancing the loss that he must begin to figure on now. Getting Around The Weevil Injury Facing a loss of 25 per cent in his cotton production, it is possible for the skillful and resourceful farmer to get around this loss in either or both of two ways. They are ways which do not come within the practice of an entomologist, so I will merely point out the line of study for him to follow. First. As the weevil become in creasingly abundant and destructive through' trie summer, he may use every possible means to' hasten " his cotton to early maturity so as to get as much cotton made as possible be fore the weevil overtakes it. This he. can do by the use of early maturing varities, extra through preparation of the soil, use of quick-acting fertilizers applied in such time, manner and amount as to hasten maturity, abun dant rapid shallow cultivation. All this is good for cotton even if there were no weevil; 'hence by tpese means he gives the cotton an extra stimulus and covers up a part of that possible loss. Second. Knowing that cotton will henceforth be a les3 certain crop, he can balance up his operation in such a way that he will be less dependent I am giving Mr. Franklin Sher man's warning to cotton growers that the boll weevil will reach us bye and bye and that bye and bye will not be long off. Now no farmer need flatterhimself into the belief that he is not corning to. Polk -...County. -:-.He y will : be here .all 'right ;andbn tirae- will we take time by the fore" lock 'andf and be so thoroughly prepared that we will not feel his coming; or will we fail to heed the. warning and for several years suffer financial set-back unnecessarily, - -. And now is the time , to go -to work against the evil day TJie remedy ia 1st crop rotation, and this just what ' should have been carried on all these years if no boll weevil had evr been" in existance. By a systematic crop rotation the soil can be not only kept up: but can be built to -a higher J de gree, of productively. Then; when legume crops and a rotation of crops are practiced, More poultry, hogs and cattle can, and should be kept on ev ery farm which would increase the farm income to take the place of the cotton destroyed by the: boll weevil , Not only this; but the manure fur nished by this additional live stock, would so enrich the land that much larger yields of cotton per acre would be grown- So that not only would ravages of the boll weevil be offset; but farmers would be enjoying larger returns by having adopted proper methods in advance, overcoming the destructive results of the boll weevil Now I trjist every Polk County cotton grower will give earnest heed to Mr. Sherman's warning and ' begin - now, to prepare for more 'live stock and the first step is to build up per manani and temporary pastures in order that live stock may be grown .
