PAGE FOUR weevilcontrol: AT $8 PER ACRE AWAITS USERS Experiments in the use of calcium arsenate in the control of boll wee vil i§ rec'ommended by George O. Mar shall, county agent, in a statement given out today containing infor mation upon application of this chem ical. Said Mr. Marshall: “The Bureau of Entomology has used the following method with good re sults for four years in Louisiana, but they have not recommended it gener ally because some details of the best method application have not yet been determined. "Calcium arsenate will not eradicate the weevil, but may be used as a control measure to keep weevil infes tation below the point of damage. Cot ton sheds, normally, about 25 to 30 per cent of the forms that appear. The object in using poison is to keep the weevils under control so that shedding from weevil puncture is not greater than 25 per cent. “The best method, then is to begin to apply the poison when an average of 25 squares in every hundred are punctured and repeat the application often enough to keep the damage that low. “Calcium arsenate is a finely divid ed powder and is to be apllied as a dust and not to be dissolved and used as a spray. It will take about five pounds per acre at each applica tion and it will take about four appli cations under average conditions to keep the weevil under control. The interval between applications will de pend on the amount and the frequen cy of rainfall and the rapidity of leaf growth. Rain will wash the powder off if it falls within thirty six hours after application and it should be applied again immediately. If no rain falls, the powder will remain for several weeks, but a new growth of leaves would appear in that time and need to he covered. Ordinarily one appli cation every ten days or two weeks will be found to give best results. Late applications will give relatively greater results than the earlier appli cations. A hand dust gun that will take care of twelve to fifteen acres, is on the market. “According to experiments made at the Delta Laboratory, there appears to be great promise in calcium arsen ate for control of the weevil. Calcium arsenate is on the market about forty cents per pound, which means a cost of $2 per acre for material for each The Standard i><> Not Let your money be tricked away from you by half price sales or fake advertisements.
