This dearly proves that the fright
is more damaging than the weevil.
The second item emphasized by
the experience of 1909 is the import-
ante of pie' ing up and burning the
puncturel squares. There never had
been any question but picking up the
squares in the fore part of the sea-
son would check the weevila, but it
was proven in 1909 thai it was ef-
fective after the field was fully in-
fested If rapid cultivation was con-
tinued.
The third item of value demon-
strated by the season of 1909 is the
season. The foregoing is especially
for lands where, under weevil condi-
tions, there is an exe is of plant
growth.
Fifth. The lands must be well
drained and no larger area planted I
than can be intensively worked.
Sixth. All the supplies of food
and forage must be raised to home
and can be on t'he lands not planted
to cotton.
Seventh. It Is practically safe to
make advances in boll weevil terri-
tory if the farmer follows government
instructions.
(Eighth. There should be a rigid
system of inspection to see that the
government plan is followed.
The great drouth and the Intense
heat in July and August last year
throughout Texas and Oklahoma ac-
centuated the importance of deeper
tillage and more thorough prepara-
tion of the soil.
