WE ARE RECOMMENOING FALL
CLEAN UP PROGRAM JO
DESTROY INSECTS
Many raina during late summer
and early fall have been very favor-
able for tbe boll weevil to build up
a high population of weevils to go
Into hibernation this winter. If the
weevils are allowed to continue feed'
tng and breeding until frost and there
will be a shortage of calcium arsenate
because of the War program, the
weevils might harvest a large part
of the 1*43 -cotton crop.
la the pink boli worm area where
farmers are required to destroy cot-
ton stalks by October io, they note
a yearly decrease in Infestation. The
weevils go into liberation in a weak-
ended, starred condition and a low
percentage survive through the win-
ter.
A county-wide destruction of cotton
plants would he very helpful In re-
ducing weevil infestation for 1*45.
This Is tbe boll weevil's relation
to the scorched earth policy:
Aha! Mr. Boll Weevil, apparently
you’re not familiar -with my scorched-
earth policy of destroying cotton
stalks early. Ton’ll have to look else-
where f6r your fall food.
lfr. Boll "Weevil f Yon can’t starve
me! I’ll go over to" your neighbor's.
There's always food there.
• Neighbor: "Not this year Mr. Boll
Weevil! I’m getting wise to you
Weevils. • From r.ow on my stalks
will be cut too. as soon as my cotton
Is picked. You’ll have to find a care-
less cotton grower's field to feed in
or go hungry all -fall. According to
tbe bug men. your chances of surviv-
ing the winter are mighty slim if
your food supply is cut abort early/’

Dear Neal:
My wife has been sending me tbe
"Ole Reliable” every week and every
time I receive It I say to myself. I’m
going to write Neal Estes and make
a comment on his newspaper.” Well
I've finally come to tbe point of do-
ing 1L However the comment Is nol n
bad one. Everyone there at home is
bound to realise bow good bond buy-
ing and these scrap drives are, but
I want to be one of your friends
to compliment you on the grand Job
your paper la doing In pushing the
drives. We get lots of big name pa-
per* here In the barracks but I and
all my fellow men feel that you
are showing the most enthusiasm
over the fact that there has to be
some action now and continued ac-
tion until this situation is all set-
tled . Being In the Quartermaster i
can truthfully say that If the good
work Is kept us at the home front,
the proper equipment will be fur-
nished the army of our United Stale*.
The principals that our boys are
fighting for over these and the
grand Job they are dong now that
they have really started are enough
to raeke us want to make any sacri-
fice that may b« necessary. .
Tf everyone else all over tbe coun-
try keeps doing as good a Job as
you there In Panola I’m sure every-
thing will come out for the best.
Your friend.

SOIL
CONSERVATION
NOTES
Mrs. Howell Duckworth Is visiting
her husband in Ft. Leonard Wood,
Missouri.
Now that the harvest season is on
lu full swing, it Is time to think of
the land that produced the crop and
ask this question: “What can I io
to make this land produce MORE
next yearT” This Is a question of in
creasing Importance to each farmer,
for he Is being asked, as his share of
the Job of winning the war. to pro-
duce more. And this must be done
In the face of a shortage of labor,
fertiliser and other necessities re-
quired to farm.
Farmers in Mississippi. Alabama.
Georgia, and to a certain extont,
Louisiana, have learned bow to pro-
duce more crops on less land and
with less fertiliser than we have In
East Texas, How they Mo It Is no
secret, nor is U anything we can't
do. They do It by planting WINTER
COVER CROPS.
Rome of Panola county's farmers
are improving their land too. Many
have terraced, and terracing I* im-
portant and Is the first conservation
Job to be done on a piece of ground.
Rut terracing does not build ground.
It merely Holds It in place, and some-
thing must be added to replace the
plant food taken out each year by the
crop harvested.
Examples of men who are doing
more than “Just holding” the soil are:
Clifton Ross, who farms west of Car-
thage near Dillard’s Store. He had
5 acres .of fine vetch turned under
and followed It with cotton. Mr. Ross
told the writer that tf the cotton
plants on this vetch land matured
all the squares and boils on them,
they would he unable (o hold them
up Xhd wonld break down. Mr. L. H.
Chandler of DeBerry planted his
vetch a little late last year, and did
not have an exceptionally good grow-
th: yet he can show you to the row
where vetrh was tupied under his
crop. Harry Knight, of the Woods
Community, has raised his cotton
yield from under 200 pounds per acre
to aronnd 400 through the use of
retch.
.None of these men have done any-
thing that any other Panola county
farmer can’t do If he wants to.
Winter cover crop seed and ferti-
liser can be secured from the AAA
office In Carthage, along with In-
structions on Its use. Any farmer
can get some. Now is the time lo get
ready to plant a cover crop, or as
soon as your crop Is gathered. There
is no better soil builder grown. And.
in addition, by planting enough cover
crop thts fall, you can qualify your
