Appeal Byiiardin To Farmers To, Sow Cover Crops This Fal! t m » m i. _ » • (By Alvin Hardin t There are very few people in Cleveland county who are not fam Jiar with the hit Lory of the devas tation, in some sections, caused Say he boll weevil. In the different states, where the losses were heaviest, the country presents today a far different as pect to what it did previously. A traveler passing through these sections before the day of the boil weevil, saw acres upon acres of cotton, flourishing from home.-; many well filled tenant houses, and contented laborers piling up tut snowy harvest—the fanner hun-st ll riding proudly ever hr* heavy yielding fruitful acres believing he sees a wonderful future ahead Now the picture has changed The tenant houses stand with doors swinging idly ajar, long deserted the once flourishing farmer bends a weary back in his fields eking out a meager living on a few acres most of his land lying idle, because he is now' not financially atee to keep the tenants be once had If the traveler had spoken to any ; of these once progressive farmers i about their loss, almost every one would have told him, "I wanted to - make one more cotton crop." and then I'd have prepared so that the Inroads of the boil weevil w aid not have affected m.* so heavily." Not only was min brought upon the fanners, but a passing glance into the town of those aect.ons, re - j veals a marked evidence of financial loss, »litre once were man, stores, all doing a flourishing business, only one or two . t main w ith a very : small trade No now buildings or improvements are in progress and, once fine Hemes, are now dci-pi dated and a general sense of last opulence prevails. How different might have been j this picture today, if the traveler could have found about these homes, flocks of pure-bred poultry a few hogs and cows, to produce meat and milk lor the family, gar dens filled with fresh: vegetables ami well-kept home orchards to provide fruit; barns well filled with home grown hay and bine of home grown grains. In addition to this, a few acres devoted to pastures and grains, some in cover crops, leaving still sufficient acreage for the growing of cotton. The boll weevil can now be found in all parts of Cleveland [. ounty, having migrated here from rther infested areas since the fi:n of August Jus! what damage ih • weevil will do to the' 192a cotton crop will depend almost entirely eh weather conditions. If we have dry weather the dam age will be small—but if we have c iot of wet weather the damage will be very heavy. At the present price of cotton it is a great temptation to forget tli« home-grown feeds and increase the cotton acreage, but the wise farm er will not do this He will to< gram to feed his family and feed his livestock Knowing how the boll weevh works, we may better combat him by preparing the soil early, plant ing early, fertilizing well, cultivat ing thoroughly and—by poisoning if infestation makes it necessary. Let us hot get too busy while harvesting the cotton crop to feed the hen, the hog and the cow. And now while we have a good season harness the old mule up again and sow a few acres in oats, wheat and barley lor your next spring hay crop.
