Reducing Insect
Damage by 1927
Clean-up Measures
During the past several seasons, so
far as weather conditions have allow-
ed, the farmer of many parts of the
Coastal area of Texas have applied
themselves to fall clean-up measures,
advises It. R. Reppert, entomologist,
Extension Service, A. and M. College.
The main object of this has been to
reduce damage to cotton the follow-
ing season by various insect pests,
especially the boll weevil.
The practice is based upon certain
facts connected with the insect. In-
festation in the spring arises from the
numbers of the weevil that success-
fully pass the winter hidden away in
various protected places. The wee-
vils seek these places about the time
of the first killing frost, and because
they are dormant during the winter
months, do not require food.
Previous to the first killing frost,
however, being active, they must feed
continuously. Green cotton furnishes
their only food and where this is not
available up to the time of frost the
insect either starves or is forced into
its winter quarters in such a weaken-
ed condition as to be unable to sur-
vive until spring in any considerable
numbers.
Farmers in the section mentioned
have learned to apply this principle
and as soon as cotton is gathered in
the fall their concern is to destroy the
growth so as to leave no food for
the pest, li has been fairly well dem-
onstrated in that section that where
this cleanup can be applied generally
over a wide area that the commun-
ity suffers a minimum of damage by
the weevil the following season.
It will be well for the farmers
throughout the weevil infested area
of Texas to consider the same means
of control and as soon as tin* cotton
is gathered to destroy the cotton
growth. Agricultural advisors do not
wish to be understood as advising
the burning of cotton stalks on the
field, although from certain stand-
points this may appear the only solu-
tion of a grower’s problems. From
the standpoint of weevil control it is
sufficient merely to destroy the
growth; from this standpoint alone
also it will perhaps be best to plow
under green cotton stalks deeply.
However, throughout a great part of
our cotton growing area another dif-
ficulty arises; namely, the attacks
of the disease, cotton root rot. Green
cotton stalks plowed under retain
life for a considerable period, and
hence furnish a medium upon which
the root rot fungus may survive the
winter to attack the succeeding
crop. Where cotton root rot is a
factor in production, therefore, it
will be advisable for the farmers to
uproot the stalks, thus ex/posing
them to complete drying After they
have become completely dried and
life is extinct they may be plowed
under.
While the foregoing paragraphs
apply to the control of the boll weevil
by clean up measures, the same moth
od can be effectively applied against
some other cotton pest as well as
many insects affecting other crops.
In general, and where no disadvan-
tages attach from other considera-
tions, it is always a good practice
from tie1 standpoint of insect control
to dispose of crop residues in some
manner, preferably by turning under
;ts soon as the crop has been gather
ed.
in many sections the cotton crop
hits been almost gathered and in some
sections picking is complete. Com-
munities can follow no better farm-
ing practice at this time (ban to or
ganize and systematically carry out
cleanup nieusut

MILES—Safer MILES
Smoother MILES—Faster MILES
With the UNPARALLED Dayton STABILIZED Balloons
To make the FINEST Tire, and the SAFEST Tire, and yet to make a ride-easy, shock-absorbing tire, was the
perplexing problem presented to the Dayton factory. To build a tire that would wear that would stand the
gaff of hard driving—that would stack up mileage records, and yet would render that feeling of “floating over
the bumps,” was the MASTERPIECE evolved by DAYTON in the Red Stripe Stabilized Balloons and the I/ow
Air Pressure Thorobred Cords. Your appreciation of this wonderfully in-built comfort in a Dayton increases
as your trips become longer, or the roads grow rougher. Its more pliable sidewall construction, and its Extra
Cushion strips of gum rubber beneath the tread, and its superior workmanship throughout, answers your de-
mands for EASIER RIDING.
