The Abbewille Progress Appxeals to the Merchants andl the
Business Men of the Entire Parish to Carry this Infor
mation to Every Cotton (Grower. (o to the Farmer and
Tell Them How to Save the Cotton Crop.
Following is a letter from Mr. Mason Snowdew, State
Agent of the Department of Agriculture, in which is told
how to save the cotton crop:
Shreveport, La. June 17, 1913. oti
To the Faritiers and Business cr.
Men of Louisiana:
in
Are you goilg to raise cotton or
boll weevil? Are you going to gam- to
ble on the maing of 1913 cotton
crop? Or are you going to put forth th
every effort to make a good and
profitable yield? Get to work and
save the crop. Delay means dis
aster.
The boll weevil infestation is
general all over the State and cl
heavier than since 1910. The degree i
of the infestation varies from
field to field and from parish to C
b,i hit > .4mwary. enough. to be
serious in every cotton comunity
in the State.
The only safe and sure way to
make a cotton crop under boll
weevil conditions is to make a per
sistent fight oft the weevil. A "
faithful fight made on the weevil ti
will guarantee a good crop with(t
good weather for the next six
weeks; and with a wet July, a fair '
crop can he made. But, if no ef
fort is made to keep down the e
weevil infestation now, a rainy
1 July means disaster to the cotton
crop. .
The weevil fight is simple and
inexpensive. Most of the cotton
is too late now to pick the adult c
t weevil from the stalks.
The fight from now on must be
concentrated on the punctured
squares. To be successful, this
, must be commenced when the cot
If ton begins to square. Every field
e that hat weevil should be gone
R over carefully once a week, and
every punctured square picked up
and burned. Heavily infested
e spots should be marked and picked
over twice a week. The whole
fight hinges on thi. point: To
t keep the short lived over wintered
weevil from raising a brood. Try
e to keep every punctured square 1
- from hatching a young weevil.
d Farmers who have failed have in
varibly started the fight tgo late.
This method of fighting the weevil
has been proved successful beyond
is the shadow of a doubt by thous
s sands of the best farmers in the
. State.
1l If the fight is started when the
is first squares are punctured, it is
il fast and inexpensive work as there
is are few squares to pick up. The
. labor that hoes the crop can keep
y the squares picked up if this is
dlone from the start.
,, The punctured squares should
b. he kept picked up for five or six
re weeks or longer according to con
r. ditions. In rainy spells, it is
2 absolutely essential to continue
p- careful picking up of squares.
Louisiana has enough cotton
planted and growing this year to
x- make 600,000 bales. With a nor
rn mal season and a good fight on the
ad weevil, thiscropcanbe made. It
00 is up to the farmers to do it. Ac
*.s cpt the prmoved experience d
others and don't risk loosifng this t
crop. th

information will he sent circular fai

Splendid Chance

hetre is a splendid chance now
for the Cotton crop of this parish
to be ~hved, should it be infested
with boll weevils. The citizens of
the parish are offering prizes for
the capture and delivery of the
weevils, punctured and fallen
squares.
It is to the interest of each and
every one of the cotton growers to
get every one one of them that
they possibly can, no matter how
small the crop may be. All should
work together, and by doing so
makes a surer thing of ridding the
cotton of the weevil.

offered closes Sept. 1.
Take them to the Abbeville
Live Stock & Feed Co. and make
the deliveries on Saturday only.
