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 Ready To Present Hall - Mills Facts New Brunswick, N.

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.
