Recommendation? Mad? by the Ex*
tendon Cor vic? of Clemton College.
Clemson College, Dec. 12^-Tho Ex
tension Service of CU; in non College
bas published Extension Bulletin 4S.
"Farming under Boll Weevil Condi
tions," and has secured through Sen
ator N. B .Dial the publication of a
revision of the "Report of the South
Carolina Boll Weevil Commission."
Doth of these publications, which
pmy be had from county agenta or
(rom the Extension Service, Clem Bon
College, S. C. .contain valuablo sug
gestions on growing cotton auder boll
weevil conditions. Some of these are
liven below.
Stalk Destruotion and Cleaning up
lite Perm.-The hordes of weevils
that ravage the cotton crop arc tho \
offspring of parent weevils that pass
ed the preceding winter successfully.
The weovils doveloping late in the
fall tire the onus most likely to sur
vive tho winter, as they are no*, worn
out by long flights and by ogg laying.
The greateet nnmber of weevils will
survive in those Holds on wHich cot
ton stalks together ?Villi grass, weeds
and other refuse material offering
shelter, are allowed to remain. Tho
early destruction of cotton stalks by j
chopping and plowing them under,
thc planting of winter covers, and the
cleaning of terraces, ditch banks,
sd g os of woods, and other places of
fering winter shelter, constitute the
first step in making the next year's
.rep.
Thorough Preparation.-When a <
cover crop is grown on the land dur
ing fall and winter, it should be
plowed under early in tho sering so
that the land will have ample t::ne to |
settle before planting. Cotton comes
up more quickly and starts growth
earlier if planted on s firm well-set
tled ?teed bed than if planted on s
loose one. If the land has been in
corn and velvet beans, or v. rt?d
peas during the aumin or rvnd
conveniently planted to . <v.v

R ls important te have .?.n carly
fruiting variety but lt is also impor
tant to have a variety which contin
uos to fruit throughout tho season.
The boll woevll profnrB to puncture ;
squuros and will do KO if they are
present in the plants; nut If none are
to he-found, he will then puncture the !
half-grown bolls. This explains why i
lt is Important for a variety to cou- i
tinue fruiting throughout the season. ?
It should be understood that other
varieties may in a given season and
under favorable conditions yield moro j
than these, but whv.-n taken for a por- j
iod of years the above named varie
ties have proved thoir superiority.
Planting as Eearly as Safety will
Permit.-Cotton should he planted as
early as possible aftor danger of kill
ing frost is over and the ground in
warm enough to in s ii ru quick germi
nation and rapid growth. In ordor lo
insure a good stand without replant
ing, more seed shonld bc used than
han boon the custom In the past. It
ia well to uso from ono to two buril
?is por aero, depending on tho con
dition of the land, more seed hoing
usod whoro the land is rough and
oloddy or cold. It is a distinct advant
age when practicable to delint tho
seed, because dellnted Hood will germ
inate more quickly by several days,
under adverse conditions, than will
undellnted seed.
Judklowe Fertilixlng.-A liberal ap
plication ot commercial fertiliser is
also advisable, and this fertiliser
should contain ac abundance of phos
phoric aold, as this ingredient hantons
tho maturity of th? orop up to a point
whor:) the plant liss all it requires in
Its grewlh. On most soils In this state
about 300 pounds of acid phosphate
per icre will give most profitable re
sults. A Uboral amount of ammonia
hastens the maturity of the crop up
to a certain point. Too much am
monia delays the crop as does too
little, hone? the Importance of hav
ing tho correct a?ou?t of ammonia
for each soil. Roch fanner should
study the needs of his aolls r.nd uso
tho amount of ammonia which he
Ands best for his Innd. Potash ls noe- j
assnry on most of our sandy soils and j
on snmo of our Piedmont soils.
Where a good systom of farming is ?
practiced la the Piedmont soetlon, j
whore thc crops aro rotated and or-1
:VIL CONDITIONS
ganic matter supplied, no potash
should be roquired. An excess of pot
abh also tends to delay the maturity
of the crop, und for this reason mod
erate applications will generally give
best results. A well balanced fart
User which supplies the needs of the
soil to which it is applied gives tho
curliost crop and the largest crop.
All of the phosphorus and the pot
ash and moHl of the nitrogen should
be applied by the time the first
squares benin to form. On very light
sandy soils it is advisable to apply
ihoro of thlH nitrogen after the cotton
is up. but in no case should this np
plicat: m be delayed until late In the
season. Where large applications of
fertilizer are made at planting time,
it is important to mix the fertilizer
with the soil thoroughly so that lt will
not interfere with the germination
and early growth of the cotton.
Rapid Cultivation.-From tho very
Etart, cotton should be cultivated in
tensively to prevent weeds and grass
from ever getting a start. To ac
complish this, frequent shallow culti
vation is advisable. Cotton should
never be cultivated so deep as to do
story the roots of the plants, and un
der no conditions should weeds and
grass be allowed to get a start in the
cotton, as ihey will delay the growth.
Collecting Weevils. - lt may be
helpful to pick weevils from the
young cotton pants before the squares
appear whenever cheap labor that
costs practically nothing in cash is
available If weevil collecting is done
with the Utmost care, giving special
atti inion to places whore the greatest
nunile;- of weevils hibernated, the
majority of the weevils may be caught
before they lay their eggs. It is esti
mated that weevil collecting when
upon thorough search less ti)an 50
weevils per acre are found, is not pro
fitable.
Collecting Squares.-When low
priced labor is available, square col
lecting will be holpful if properly
done. Collecting should bo begun
about ton days after the first bloom
ls seen in the field. But unless lt ls
done thoroughly it is amprofitabio.
About every five days ?*ery square
must bo picked, not only those on the
ground, but also those that bare dried
on the plants, as well as thoee whioh
show yellow color or are flared. This
should be continued during the first
weeks of the square-forming period.
During wet seasons when cultivation
is ImnofnUMe, pk>~r labor may be used
until cultivation can be resumed.
Special attention should be given to
places where a large number of
weovils passed the winter, such as
bottom lands, woods and fields ad
joining waste land or other places
where rubbish occurs.
It is advised that all collected
squares, Instead of being dostroyed,
be placed m a box having one of Its
walls mado of ordinary wire window
Bcreoning. Instead of a box. a barrel
covorod with ordinary window screen
ing may bc used and this laid hori
zontally at some convenient place.
The box or barrel must l>e tight so
that no emerging woevils con escape.
The nieshos of the wire semens are
too small for weovile to escapo, yet
sufficient large to pormit tho escape
of par?sitos.
Attempts at poisoning the cotton
boll weevil in l<e>l j>nva variable and
generally unsatisfactory results. Com
paring the work and results secured
in South Carolina with the work and
results ser ar?d in othor states, lt is
believed that the results secured In
this state during 1921 were due to ad
verse weather conditions during tho
poisoning period, and that poisoning
ls profitable when proporly done on
high yielding land, provided that tho
weather ls favorsblo.
U*e of Winter Cover Cropc.-The
value of winter crops in fighting
the boll woovil can not bo over-estl
matod. In the first place, the boll
weevil can not spend the winter in a
green cover crop, as it is impossible
for him to ovaporatc a sufficient
amount of water from his body to en
able him to live through the winter.
In the second place, winter cover
crops prevent washing and leaching,
thus saving a very large amount of
nitrogen, which is our most expensive
fortillr.or. If legumes are used as
cover crops, they not only save a large
amount of nitrogen from leaching out
of the soil but may actually add sev
ersl dollars worth of nitrogen to tho
soil. They also greatly increase the
organica matter In the soil, wti'C
one of the most Important factors In
developing an early cotton soil.
Hens vs. Pullets.- One of the im
portant problems that the poultry}
man has to deal with is how to got
tlie largest number of egg? from his
flock. How can he do this? Hy se
lecting pullets to comprise! about two
thirds of his entire fllock rather than
by having a majority of hens. Sta
tistics show that L allots lay about .'10
oggs more per yoar than hens. This
is true for both the heavy and the
light broeds. The not profit therefore
in in favor of the pullets. They lay
more eggs in tho fall and winter when
the prices are high, and so tend fur
ther to incroaso tb* profit. During
tho pullet year an 'estimated profit
abovo food of $3.80 per bird is ne*ted,
while for the hen year a profit -)f
$2.52 per bird is Rotted.
Why then keep a large flock of
birds which will decrease the profits
rathor thr.n increase them" Keep
mort, p".?iot8 and fewer hens In the
flock. It pays and moans hotter re
sults all round.

Farming: Under Boll Weevil
Conditions.
The Mexican Doll Weevil has
Invaded our County and has estab
lished a homo for himself on nearly
every farm,where, if not destroyed,
he will pass the winter safely, ami
will l?e ready early next spring to
multiply and destroy all tho young
cotton B<]tinrOfl ns fast as they aro
grown. If we maintain our credit
and present prosperity, conditions
demand that wo chango our present
farming methods at. once.
A careful study of tho habits of
tho Doll Weevil wall show that ho
nioves once a year, and that is in
August. Now, if wo will clean up
our Holds early tilla fall by chop,
ping and turning under all cotton
stalks and burning off all terraces,
ditch banks and other places where
tho Weevil has hibernate] for the
winter, wo can kill tho Weevils out
and leave our ?ebb; free from tho
pest, and then, hy tho uso of pro
per fanning methods, a good crop
of grown hells can bo produced
before the Weevil commences his
annual movement in August.
AM a safe program for farming
next year to combat tho Weevil wo
would suggest 20 acres to tho
plow, planted as follows:
Six acres to cot ton, folio n eil hy
small ?rain in tho fall.
Six acres to corn, with velvet
beans am] peas planted In corn.
Six aeres to .small grain-two
acres each to wheat, oats mid ryo.
Two acres to truck crops, con
sisting of Irish potatoes, syrup
cane, sweet potatoes, melons and
heans.
Prepare tho ground well, plant
early, using an early-maturing va
riety of cotton; fertilizo liberally
and cultivate intensively.
