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 Our Honor Roll WE. are glad that many of our subscribers are remember ing us by paying their subscrip tions.

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. Representatives of the Seaboard's Development have carefully followed and studied this method in the fields as it was being tested out, ami have personally.talked with the farm owners and tenants, white and black, who have made three to twelve times more cotton-in those fields where they used this “Improved Method” over where they did not follow it.
