Illlnxelf for the winter. There lie ,
either dies or lives till another plant-
ing of cotton in offered Inm to oper-
ate on Whether he ts-rish or sur-
vive depends on tiie temperature dm J
Ing the time of Ills hibernating If it .
gets very cold he is apt to perish, for |
there are temperatures even in Hint I
latitude against which the moss gives
m> warmth: if it does not gel very
cold he survives and begins to stretch
hlinself along about the middle of
February, preparatory to the season's
operations About that time eery
year, for several years, it has been
the practice of I'rofessor Coad •"
guther bunches of moss from 11 num->
her of trees considerably removed
from one another und count the num ■'
her of live and dead boll weevil* to
be found Hi every bunch A simple |
calculation with Hie data thus got
will supply a pretty good estimate of
tiie number of dead mid live boll wee-
vils in a ton of moss, and that Infor- I
tnation, wlien compared witli iuforma I
tion obtained in like manner In pre- I
ceding years, foretells with sulistan- I
Hal accuracy, as experience has prov- I
eil, h«w much an offensive these Huns|l
of tiie cotion patches will probably I
make during tiie season of operations I
almost beginning. I
Professor Coad lias just flnislied his I
latest calculation. The prophecy of I
it lx not encouraging It indicates, I
among other tilings, tliict while the I
number of weevils taking refuge in I
tiie niosH last fall was smaller than I
in three of tiie eight years for which I
Professor Coad lias kept records, tiie I
number surviving tiie winter Is live I
times greater than ever before. The I
weather briteau made the winter to
the boll weevil’s order. For example,
tiie examination showed that 121 wee-
vils had taken refuge in a ton of.
moss in 1914, and only 129 in 1921,
But also that of the 121 only ten were
alive In February, 1915, wliereus of
tin- 129 that had taken refuge in a
ton of moss last fall, only two per-
ished, 127 being alive In February
Thus, subject only to the-
chuflce that the weather will be ex
trnordinnrlly destructive of tile boll
weevils, tiie xpectation must be that
tiie infestation will lie much greater
Ihix year Ilian in any year during the
last eight.
VVhnt suggestions does that pros-
pect make? Obviously, for one thing,
that there is no likelihood of a big.
cotton crop this year. Even a big
acreage would give hut a poor prom I
ise of a big crop because of the prob
ability that the boll weevil will take
as liis part a larger percentage- of tin-
total planting than usual, and than
ever before, perhaps. In that case,
the price would be high by the test
of tilt- average for ten years, lint that
it would be high enough to be profit-
able by no means follows. At 20c, or
even 30c, there is small profit in
growing cotton when tiie boll weevil
takes half of the possible harvest
What counsel, then does this pros-
pect give- the- farmers? To plant an
acreage that will produce- a normal
crop, even though tile boll weevil
should take a greater foil than ever
before? To do that would be to pay
tiie lioli weevil's wages. Cearly, it
seems to tiie News, tiie sensible tiling
to do is to ignore tiie factor of the
boll weevil, that is, to plant only
such an acreage ax would yield a
normal crop if the boll weevil took
only his customary toll Then, if lie
took more, it would be the consumers
and not tin- producers of cotton who
would pay his wages Then- have
been some to advise- that tin- acreage
be measured to tin- probable takings
of the market, plus the probable tak-
ings of tiie boll weevils if that were
done. I'rofessor Goad's forecast would
cull for the largest acreage- ever put
to cotton And if that were done,
distress would be the- certain portion
of tiie cotton growers. For tile mar-
ket would have all the- cotton it want-
ed. even if i’rofessor Goad's forecast
should be verified, and much more
than it wanted if it should not be
The- prospect of an extraordinary
boll we-evil Infestation counsels the
farmers to put in a small acreage of
cotton. This, too, is the counse'l of
all other prospective- conditions
The wise policy for every farmer is
fairly manifest. It is to devote to
cotton all the- land and energy he has
after making sure- of a plentiful sup
ply of those things that be- will have
to buy if in- does not grow them
