BOLL WEEVIL | CONTROL FACTS Methods Generally Employed With Success, and Mistakes Which Farmers Maks, By C. A. Vhlttls, Soil Improvement Committee. The boll weevil has practically cov ered the cotton belt, but there seems to be no marked reduction In the amount of cotton grown sa a result. The fact Is the boll weevil can not and will not overthrow the South’s greatest crop. How are farmers meeting the boll weevil most successfully? There are two main ways: (1) Pushing the cotton to early maturity and (2) Kill ing the boll weevil. The following questions and answers give the main things that are being done and also the mistakes that are being made: PUSHING THE COTTON CROP. What soils are preferred for hasten ing the crop? Well drained, light soils warm ur earlier and grow off the cotton quick er than heavy or poorly drained soils Bandy soils are, therefore, better that clayey soils. Is It advisable to use peer eollst It would be e serious mistake. Poor ■oils never did pay, and with the boll weevil taking toll, poor land cotton will only put the farmer Into a deeper hole. Remember that It coats mors to grow cotton under boll weevil conditions, and there must he enough cotton to make It worth while to fight with the boll weevil. What varletlea of eetten are pre ferred? Any variety which will eat aa abun dance of holla early and trill continue to set fruit throughout the season. A, variety which la early bet which also quits fruiting early la net desirable because the wee Till will do heavier: damage In the bolls when they do not find squares to puncture. Cleveland stratai are moat generally preferred by farmere. What methede ef cultivation are ueed te hasten maturity? Frequent, (hallow cultivation until the greater part of the erep Is sot Them lass (request celUvatioa. The later cultivation should bn the skip- middle method, taking alternate mid dles and with- the next cultivation tak ing the ones that were skipped. This keeps half of the roots of the cottos plant undisturbed so that there will be less shedding, mere squaring and bet- tar protactlon of the cotton bolla. KILLING THE WEEVIL. Is the poison method ef killing the weevil practical f , It la, but It Is a particular method which many farmers may fall with when they first try It, because they are not In the habit of doing particu lar things right the first time. If the rules (or poisoning are ad hered to strictly the cotton farmer will get the most complete and eco nomic control of the weevil of any method known. Any one contemplating the use at poison should get complete Instruc tions from the Government Boll Wee vil Station, Tallulah, La.,—the State Entomologist, or agricultural col leges. Dsss It pay te kill the weevils an .the young eetten stalks before squares begin te formf If the weevils coma out of winter quarters In large numbers end threat, •n to take ell the first squares, It Is considered advisable to kill ta many of them aa possible. Calcium arsenate sprinkled from e perforated can or from a oheaee bag on the young plants Is the moat efficient end economical method of killing the weevils on tbs young pleats. It la not necessary to apply tbs poi ses until just before the squares begin to form. Is It practical te gather and destroy eqifhree? If the poison method Is not used II will often be found necessary to gath er and destroy damaged squares that contain Immature weevils, In order to have assurance of any sort of a crop. Picking up squares Is not as efficient nor sa Inexpensive as poisoning, but If thoroughly done a fair to good crop can be obtained. la poisoned molasses applied ta cot ton affective f Poisoned molasses or other poisoned eweets will kill some boll weevils dur lng dewless nights, but tbs poisoned sweets will kill honey bees and other sweet loving Insect8 that are needed to carry from flower to flower the pollen that causes them to fruit. Cal cium arsenate dust Is more efficient and Iosb expensive to uso where pot- soned molasses are effective. Are boll weevil trape practical? A farmer never trios a trap more than once. The government has tried all kinds and recommends none. Can the say of cotton be poisoned so sa to poleon or repel the weevil! The Creator has given all plants the power to absorb through their roots plant food and to resist all that Is not plant food. If plants could not resist the poisons In the soil we might run a risk of being poisoned every time we eat a potato, apple, berry, etc. Can the boll weevil be driven from cotton by offensive odors? The boll weevil has not yot boer successfully combatted through its breathing organs. It has been sub looted to the most Intense war gave: without re-ult?.
