"My Grand-
Eva Karl-
hii!«understanding, resort to the
penal provisions of the law should
|f>e indulged in as the last and ex-
treme measure."
Mr. Cheek quoted from the law in
lanswering each of the questions pro-
pounded but made no attempt to dis-
Icu.-s its validity or constitutional ob-
jections to any of its provisions. As
[decided by Mr. Cheek, the answers
lire a- given below.
Each land unit is subject to the
pO per cent restriction and a person
awning farms in two or more coun-
jt.'M can not pool that acreage and
[plant the 30 per cent to cotton <>n
y one farm or in any particular
I pot. Each farm owned, leased or
[rented i a legal unit and in 1932 can
Ir.ot have in cotton more than 30 per
which was not planted in cotton in
1931," said Mr. Cheek.
Under the provisions of the law a
person may plant in 1932 30 per cent
of the lurid area of a separately own-
ed tract of land which was in culti
vation in planted crops during 1931.
The area in cultivation in planted
crops is not restricted to land plan-

Control The Cotton Bollworm
Late fall or winter plowing is j
probably the most important control !
measure for protecting cotton from 1
the bollworm, or corn earworm, says
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.'
It is especially important to plow
land that has been in crops harbir
ing the bollworm during the late fall
months. Other measure? that lessen
bollworm damage are the selection
of early-maturing cotton, planting as
early as is consistent with getting
good stand and giving tin- crop a
good start, fertilization of poor land,
and frequent, thorough cultivation.
I he bollworm increases greatly in j
numbers late in the season and hard
bolls are not attacked if squares and
young bolls arc available; hence the j
ma'ui ty of the boils should be lias
tened as much as possible. Corn used
as a trap crop nuy help to protect
cotton under certain conditions. Cal-
cium arsenate dust is effective in de
stroying the bollworm if applied at
' the right time—while the bollworms
| are very small. When the ears in the
i main corn crop become hard—from
July 10 to August 20, depending on
latitude ami season—the boliworm
moths usually begin laying eggs on
the cotton. Examination of cotton
plants at this time shows the earn-
est hatched bollworms making minute
holes in the squares. Sometimes the
young worms spin webs about the
j square.-. Apply a standard cotton-
dusting gradr of calcium arsenate ut
the rate of 4 or 5 pounds per ace.j.
This material will control the boll-
worm and boll weevil at the same
time.
