METHOD TO KILL.
WEEVIL IS FOUND
Gainesville, Fla., November 13.—
Removal of all squares (bract.- sub
tending the flowers) from cotton
plants at a time when virtuul’y all
cotton boll weevils are out c, coir
winter quarters in Florida about
June 5—and destruction of Mm
squnras, followed immediately by a
thorough application of calcium arse
nate or lead arsenate with a ‘••uitable
dusting machine, is the method de
veloped for control of the weetil an
nounced Saturday night by Dr Wil
non Newell, plant commissioner for
the state plant board and duo* tor
of the University of Florida experi
ment station, it was disclosed today
by the official bulletin o n the sol^ect
I)r. Newell termed the (level ipment
a “solar-plexus blow” to th-- weevil
and stated that fields which had nit-
derirone the treatment had produced
virtually as much cotton as before
its advent. George D. Smith, associte
entomologist working under the au
spices of the state plant hoard was
given credit for evolving the new
method of combating the pest which
he.s cost the southern plante-s hun
dreds of millions of dollars.
The long-known fact that the wee
vil can he poisoned effectively during
the period pfeceeding the npp-iranee
of the first squares played the lead
ing part in Mr. Smith’s work. Anpli-
cation of poison at this tim * kills
virtually all weevils in the field hilt
weevils emerging later deposits their
eggs in the early squares starting the
season’s infestation. After
squares develop the adult weevil Is
difficult to poison and because the
eggs and larva are withi n the square*
the poison has no effect upon them.
By stripping the first squnr ■> eggs
and larva deposited by the over
wintered weevils are removed says
the bulletin. This disposes of the
weevils progeny hut a cons! lerable
number of adult weevls remain.
These deprived of the squares in
which to hide and upon which to
feed turn upon the terminal o" grow
ing bud of the plant for food. With
the quares out of the way by strip
ping it is simple to-literally fill the
terminal hud with poison from a
dust gun. '• m

PRESENTMENTS OF GRAND
JURY NOVEMBER fERM 1922
At this time the over-wintered
weevils have only a few more days to
live and their instinee to survivi
urge: them to feed liberally. April
catio n of poiwon to the tennina! buds
at this stage has been followed in nl
the experiments by the destruction
and practically every weevil that
escaped was captured in the jtnpplrrg
operation.
With the over-wintered weevils
and their progeny disposed of no ->.d
ditional weevils of any consequence
' will come to the field before the an
nual migration, which in Florida
usually takes place about August 1
Cotton bolls which are more than
half grown when the summer migra
tion occurs succeed in maturing and
opening because the first migt-nory
weevils arriving in the fiolds late »?,
July turn to the squares and .do not
attack the green bolls to any -xtent
In this respect the treated fiebi rm
arrival of he first nugatory weevils
is in condition comparable to that
of any ordinary cotton fled earlier
in the season—while weevils arc de
stroying the squares the bolls large
ly escape their attack.
(The cost of the treatmer.!, was
placed by Dr. Newell at from Si.60
to $2 an acre including labor)

We desire as a body to express

violuters of the law which they arc-
sworn to uphold and defend. We ^an
