COUNTY AGENT GENTRY
SAYS
Some people have put the wrong
interpertation on the “More cotton
on fewer acres” movement, as the
intention is a higher yield per acre
which thereby decreases the cost per
pound to raise it. The low yield per
acre has added to the distress of this
low price. In the face of so much
cotton this year the above statements
would appear to be an error and fool-
ish. But if all the acres planted in
cotton this year should have made
. something like a half bale per acre,
the yield would have been far beyond
consumption for several years. And
even with the. present yield many
farmer* have lost money on their
cotton crop, and would have lost if
they had gotten twenty cents per
pound. It is a good time now to cut
acreage in cotton and plant such
crops as will build up the land so
that if the price of cotton should get
better the yield would be satisfac-
. tory.
This is not whst I started out to
say, however, as this article is meant
to warn the cotton growers of Smith
county against cotton insects next
year. A clean-up campaign should
be made this fall against boll wee-
vils, and particularly against the cot-
ton flea. The cotton flea did a lot of
damage this year in Smith county,
and the results from the use of sul-
phur were not what was desired and
expected. However, the sulphur was
"The set practice is to destroy
weeds, grass, etc.. In the field by
plowing under this fall and winter,
and to burn up all the trash and
weeds on the ditch banks and fence
rows. Fall and winter plowing will
destroy more insects than all the
poison applied later. Furthermore,
fall and winter plowing is good for
the land. It is suggested that all the
“rubbish” should be cleaned up
around the fields where it is intend-
ed to plant cotton next year, for into
this rubbish and vegetation which can
not be reached and turned under by
the plows millions of boll weevils and
cotton fleas have gone into winter
quarters and will prey upon next
year’s crops unless destroyed.

NEW BRIDGE NEAR PALESTINE
WILL FACILITATE TRAFFIC
Palestine, Nov. 17—The bridge now
being built across the Trinity river
west of Palestine will greatly facili-
tate traffic east and west thru Pal-
estine. Heretofore, cars and other
vehicles have had to depend on a fer-
ry boat to cross the Trinity here,
and in bad weather it was almost Im-
possible to get to the ferry because
of a poor approach. The bridge will
cost more than $200,000. ,
