IMPROVED METHOD
OF CONTROLLING
THE BOLL WEEVIL
r On aeciunt of the great importance
of the recently discovered “Improved
Method” for controlling the cotton boll
weevil, made by the State Plant Bowrd
|of Florida, the Seaboard Air Line, thru
its Development Department, feels that
it would be doing a great injustice in
full information was withheld from all
those farmers growing coTtun along its
tributary territory in the States of
Alabama. Georgia, South Carolina.
North Carolina and Virginia .
The fact that it has been found prac
tical to bring cotton back into Florida
is very important to the other states
named, because in Florida the milder
winters do not kill as many boll weevil,
and the heavy rainfall during the lon
ger summer greatly favors the pest.
This method of control shows con
clusively that any farmer, white or
black, heeds have no fear in growing
cotton under boll weevil conditions.
This “Improved Method” is a radical
departure from those control methods
that have been advocated for the past
twenty years. The ordinary calcium
arsenate method of treating boll wee
vil has proven successful to some ex
tent in the area served by the Seaboard
Air lane. However, it has not been
found adaptable except on land that
will produce at least a half bal“ of
cotton per acre. Therefore, the Hovel
opment Department of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway feels that it should
present to the farmers it da illy serves
this cheap, and by far the most efficient
method for controlling the boll weevil
that has yet been discovered, that these
farmers may be better able to support
prosperous homes.
While this method of control has not
been worked out, or tried, in any other
states than Florida, there nt present
appears no theoretical reason why it
should not be applicable to the other
States. In the light of the information
which is nt present available, the “Im
proved Method’” adapted to the farms
in the counties through which the Sea
board Air Line passes, is briefly this:
Remove all squares, whether punct
ured or unpunctured, from the cotton
plants just before the first bloom ap
pears in the field.
Follow this at once, or within a day
or two, or before the squares start
growing back, with a thorough dusting

This poison should he applied by means
of a hand dust gun, which forces the
poison into the top buds of the cotton
plant where the boll weevil feeds when
there are no squares.

and studied this method in the fields
