How to B:at the Boll
, Wccv<l.
1 thought I would give my
experience to the public the way
,
I run my farm. I don t think
it ib any harm to tell your fel
low friend how vnu run your
farm. Suggestions will some-
time)* do good I diversify iny
farm, raise plenty corn, wheat,
oats, and other food crops.
Wheu you raise plenty <«f food
crops it is no trouble to raise
hogs, cows nod poultry. Raise
your supplies on your farm, then
raise all the cotton y nu r-nti
I will tell yon how 1 heat the
boll Weevil this year. I prepar-
ed my land well, used plenty of
high grade feitiliter. An 8 4 4,
10-5 3, 8 0 2 are popular brands
tJse 400 to 600 H'S per acre of
anyone of the above brands
. Vou will make from fhree.
fourths to one-hale per acre.
Here i$ the secret of raising cot
1 ton under boll weevil condition*
1'oifon the weevil before chop-
ping cotton, or a* so< n as Cotton
is chopped Use two applica-
tions of poison before the sqtiar
*>8 form. Here is the secret.
When you let 1'5 percent of your
cotton be punctured, you will
have weevils ail the season. Kill
them while cotton is small. I
ti*e eight kinds of poisons. The
syrup mixture is six times cheap
er than calclUm and much easi-
er to apply. I used 3 applica-
tion^ in the ppring and two at
migration period. '
One pound arsenic, one gallon
nyrup, one pound cotton seed
tneal, two gallons water. This
will make three gallons. I use
one gallon of this mixture per
acre. This mixture costs twelve
cents per acre.
Alter my cotton is chopped and
plowed, 1 plow one side of row
one week, and the next week the
other side of row. I keep this
method up uutil sometime in Au-
gust. You see I have time to
poison weevils, work my corn and
other crops.
1 work my corn every week,
winning every other middle; the
other middle next week uutil the
crop is laid by.
1 made 27 bales on 80 acres.
I used 500 pounds of un 8 6-2
per acre. Destroy all cotton
Ktalks by dragging off butts or
plowing up Htnlks. This plan
Wilt kill many weevils. Most
weevils hibernate in your cotton
patch, and only a few go to the
woods or buildings.
If this letter is worth anything
• to you save it for future use.
Again I say poison your weevil
while cotton is small. t
This is hoping that you will be
• successful the next crop you raise
You will have to quit farming if
vou dou't raise your fond crops.

Study Relationship of Trans-
portation and Taxes
Interesting.
A study of taxes as they pay
for, or are pn id by, transporta-
t/lon, an
rdads, tax, transport, and ex
peuditure, how t^en trade by Mr
John Pj. 'VniWr-r, former tax ad-
viBor, U. S. Treasury.
, Accordinir to this report, the
counties of the United States ad-
minister 60 per cent, and the
State 40 per cent of all the high-
way funds spent. Of all highway
expenditures, < <) 5 per cent is
spent for new or reconstruction
and the balance of .39.5 for main-
tenance, >ni'v tization, and in-
terest, Of the oeneral tox dol-
lar. 5 G p jr cent—sliuh'lv more
than one twentieth—is expended
for hiirbwnvs
A very interesting: angle is
broujfbt inir in the statistics
which shiiw tli.it the total taxes
levied on motor vehicles are uow
more than eqliivuleut to the cost
of biirhvvav maintenance. In
other .rords after the road is
built, the users pay for its up
keep without cost to the State
or county doing the building
All transportation together,
which includes till motor vehicles
both passenger and freight, all
electric railways, and all boats
of all kiiHi*; pay 8 1 percent of
the Nation's total tax bill, which
would indicate that a fair pro-
portion of what .is being spent
on highways comes from high-
way nsers direct instead of from
the general tax dollar contribut-
ed bv every one, yet every one
benefits from highways.
It is also interesting to note
that of the *1.150,000,000 of
"highway income" represented
in the chart, 38 lis derived from
bonds, 44.2 from taxation, 10.6
from Motor fees, and 7.1 from
Federal aid.
