Boll Weevil Poison
Studied At Station
plenty of boll weevils now an en
tomologist at the Station stated. ,
One grower said that there were
more weevils this year than he has
ever seen before.
Any on,<’ of three dusting mater
ials may be used to control weevils,
according to entomologists at the
Station.
Two of these dusts are combin
ations. One is composed of three
percent BHC, five percent DDT,
and 40 percent sulphur. This dust
is used at th/ rate of 10 pound per
acre. Another material Is composed
of 2o percent toxaphene and 40
percent sulphur used at the rate
of 10 to 15 pounds per acre.
Calcium arsenate , can be used at
the rate of six pounds per ac.r/
for the first two dustings and from
eight to 12 pounds per acre for all
other dusts.
Dusting should be continued
all bolls are matured. Good con
trol of weevils means holding the
infestation below 10 percent.
