experiments the seed was furnished
by the Georgia State Board of Ento
mology and instructions were given
in regard to flghUng the boll weevil. A
Tito large yield made thia year Is at
tributed: first, to the good seed plan^
ed (that is, pedigreed seed of a vari
ety adapted to that section); second,
to good and thorough preparation of *
the land, high fertilization, and fre
quent cultivation of the cotton; third,
the thorough and persistent fight on
tho boll weevil; and, fourth, to the
rather dry season in July and August
which was detrimental ,io the Incroaae
'of the boll weevil.
Warning To Farmers
Ah the yield of cotton has been so
satisfactory this year In many sec
tions of Georgia, it is feared that many
of the planters tvlll wish to Increase
their cotton acreage next year. The
State Entomologist desires at thia time .
jo warn the farmers of the loss that
may result from this, tor, It the sea
son should be rather rainy In Jane,
July and August, favoring the develop
ment of the boll weevil, they might not
make a profitable cotton crop. He ad
vises the planters not to plant more,
than five to ten acres of cotton to the
plow, depending upon labor conditions,
so that they can fight the boll weevil
and cultivate and fertilise the crop as
it should be under boll weevil condi
tions. 1

Just convicted its survey of the
ncrlhem limit of tho boll weevil in
Georgia for 1918. ,
The boll weevil has been found this
fall as far north as in the following
counties, beginning on the west side
of the state am’, i tinning to Augusta:
Cbar.c .ga, Ploy.:. Bartow, Cobb, Ful
ton, ! Galb, It r . dale, Newton, Mor

Duffie, Celumtfu and Richmond. In a
lev.- cf -.'•.-•no cc;..-.tles the boll weevil
wuu four.,! this y- ..r somewhat further
north than it fern last year. This will
make the bc.l weevil lino for 1918
about the san - as It was last year.
For this reason there ’will bo no
chango made In-the quarantine regula
tions tor the remainder ot this year.
Next spring tho quarantine regulations
nriiy be changed somewhat. The slow
advance of tho boll weevil this year
in Georgia Is largely attributed by
the State Entomologist to the hot, dry
weather we had in July and August.

Interesting data regarding the visi

swiftly across the sky while heavy

covered-tho entire cotton growing sec
tion of the state." It has. however, ad
vanced steadily each year, and If a
favorable season for the development
of the weevil should occur It may
cover the remainder of the state In
one season. JEho damage, to the cot
ton crop inyOeorgla from the boll wee
vil this year was not as great as It
was expected to ’be. It did, however,
•do considerable damage in a number
ot counties in the southern part ot the
state, where more rain fell than in
other sections.
In cotton variety tests-conductcd by
the State Board of Entomology In dif
ferent sections ot Georgia, tho yield
was very good, in fact better than
last year. The field In these tests
will average from three-fourths to a
bale and a half per acre under boll
weovll and wilt conditions. In the
ten.-acre boll weevil experiments that
were conducted In over 100 counties,
the yields will run from two-thirds to
ftijle and u halt per acre. In these
mology conducted quite an extensive
series' ot dusting experiments at Val
dosta on the control of the boll weevil
by dusting the cottoh with calcium ar
senate and other similar materials.
Theso dusting experiments, while
Bomcwhat encouraging, did not give
the results desired, and hence no rec
ommendations can be made at pres
ent for the control of the boll weevil
by "dusting. The experiments, how
ever, will be continued next year on
a larger scale, and it is hoped that U
tho Board is able to continue this
work for a series of years they may
be able to develop a method of con
trolling the boll hreevll by dusting, U
such a thing Is possible.
The Georgia State Board ot Ento
mology will Issue bulletins in the near
future, giving the results of their va
riety teats and other cotton experi
ments for 1918, and parties desiring
copies of theso or other bulletins
should write to A. C. Lewis, State En
tomologist, Atlanta, Go.
