Co. Don't Burn Woods To Kill Boll Weevils Station, Baton Rouge, Nov. 19. Burning the woods to kill the boll weevil is like burning the barn to get rid of the rats, according to Julius O'Quin. In other words, the cure is worse than the disease.

Although many Louisiana cotton growers burn their timberland to destroy hibernating weevils, Mr. O'Quin considers the practice wasteful and unjustified. It i3 true that some weevils hibernate in the woods, he says, but they generally do so within 50 feet of the edges bordering cotton fields. Burning over large areas of forest destroys timber, kills undergrowth and seedlings, injures wildlife; and often aggravates soil erosion by destroying leaf mulch. What's more, Mr.

O'Quin points out, there are always enough weevils left to start infestations the following spring and summer if weather conditions are favorable for their survival. He suggests the following steps as a counter-plan: (1) Encourage the growth of timber, and sell the woodland products as a cash crop; (2) use the money to buy dusting machinery and calcium arsenate to combat the weevils in summer; and (3) follow a system of fall cotton field sanitation, 2.63 (Police Dept.) 4.65 Southern Bell Tel.

No waste or loss should occur because of negligence or lack of care of machinery now on the farm.

Every year many millions of dollars worth of farm machinery is lost because of poor care, but during Take good care of your farm machinery is the warning being given by all farm agencies. Because of the need of greater production for national defense, the farm machinery manufacturing plants are busy making various types of war materials. This means that less new farm machinery may be available next year. Neptune Meter Co 25.80 Southern Hdw. Co.
