No Insecticide or Fungicide can be

requirements set by the State Board

selling prepared sprays containing
various mixtures. Unless they show
on the package, state inspection tags
you had better call up your fertilizer
inspector and have it sampled. They
have* not given profitable returns in
tests by the government So far.
The following articles by the State
Board of Entomology and one by the
Agriculture College cover the subject
thoroguhly.
Experiment station men say cotton
should have two dustings now as soon
as weather permits, about four to six
days apart of four pounds Calcium
Arsenate each. Then three to four
applications later at four to six days
intervals. The time for these later
dustings is when about ten per cent
of the squares are infected.
How to use Calelnm Arsenate to Con
trol the 801 l Weevil
Use only pure calcium arsenate
in the form of dry powder.
Apply only in the dust form with- ;
out mixing with anything.
Apply only with dusting machines ,
made for dusting cotton.
Dust only when the air is still. Best i
results come from night dusting.
Use 5 to 7 pounds of calcium arse- i
nate per acre for each application.
Start dusting in any field as soon .
as weevils are in all parts of that field
Some fields need dusting earlier, than ;
others.
Keep cotton thoroughly covered un
til weevils are under control. This
means dust every four days after be
ginning until three or four applicat
ions have been made.
Then stop poisoning until weevils
are bad again.
If you have heavy rain in a few
hours after dusting dust the same field
again immediately.
Do not expect to kill the weevils.
Calcium arsenate only keeps them
down enough to permit a crop to be
set.
Do everything you can to make your
yield per acre high. It costs as much
to poison an acre whether it makes a
quarter of a bale or a bale.
Leave unpoisoned cotton so
you can tell whether the poisoning is
doing the work or not.
See your County Agent or write the
Georgia State College of Agricutnre,
Athens, Ga., or State Board of Ento
mology. Atlanta, if there ts further in
formation that you want.
Some weevils are in all par's of a
field before the coitor. has any squares
If this is true, dirt the cotton with
cailciuni arsenate one or twice just
as the squares begin to be large
enough to he punctured. This early
dusting may be done ey sifting through
r sack, or a guano l orn with cloth
I nvf r the end. eti . and one or two lbs
' of poison per acre will do at that
* t ime.
Some of the Essential Facts Are:
■ The ground should be thoroughly
prepared in the fall of the year, if
possible, harrowed two or three times
* during the winter. No cover should be
planted before cotton. Preferably, cot
| ton should follow corn and velvet
benns. Cotton should be planted on
high, dry land removed as far as pos
r si be from the weevil's hibernating
l quarters. The weevil hibernates in
any place where he can keep dry and
' warm, since dryness and heat are es
. sential factors in the preservation of
' his life. Old stumps in the field.
, which furnish great hibernating quar
' tors for the weevil, should be destroy
. ed. The weevil spends the winter
* hidden in old rail fences, under the
hark of trees, in Spanish moss, or
other stuff? in old bouses and barns,
also hav-stacks in fields, should be
moved and stirred around so that the
. weevil will be forced out of his win
ter quarters early in the spring. If
this is done, he will die before the
cotton is sufficiently large for him
to reproduce his kind.
It is not an advantage to burn off
, broom-sedge fie’ds. woods, pine
straw-etc, etc., ort'y to the extent that
stumps and logs and the bark of trees
are burned, which will destrop the
weevil where he is hidden and dry.
In the sedge and leaves where he gets
wet and cold he cannot surt-ive the
winter.

Only pedigreed seed of a good vari
ety should be planted. The variety \
ahould be one that is locally adapted, j
fruits early, uniformly and rapidly, <
and is the mast productive. South |
of Macon, in most cases, a wilt-res- ]
ista'nt cotton should be planted. Un- <
less it is tnis kind of cotton, a good 1
stand cannot be secured, and without 1
a good stand one cannot expect to pro
duce a good crop of cotton, especially,
where he has to combat the 801 l
! Weevil.
A farmer should plant pedigreed
j seed. If he does not breed pedigreed,
he should buy a bushel from someone
who has. By writing to the Depart
ment, names will be furnished to any
one wishing to know where good seed
can be obtained.
Fertilizers should be applied very
early in order that the seed-bed may
become firm before planting. All the
feritlizers should be applied before
planting, with the possible exception
of some nitrate of soda applied just
before the cotton comes up. A smalt
amount of fertilizers may be put in
with the seed if it is not allowed to
come in close contact with them.
Everything should be ready for
planting time. Good seed should be
on hand. Good seed-ebd should be pro
perly prepared. There should be on
hand plenty of cotton planters of the
same kind. When the farmer is sure
of the ground being sufficiently warm
for the cotton to come up and grow
off rapidly, all the cotton should be
planted at once. Use stable manure
under the cotton, if possible, even if
it is a small amount. If this is €ot
available, use a complete fertilizer,
high in nitrogen. Thin the cotton
early, cultivate rapidly and shallow,
and continue cultivation until late in
the season. Locate the spots where
the 801 l Weevil first appears. Try to
stamp out the colonies by killing the
weevils. Pick up and destroy the
first infested forms .then dust.
The mule back machines do not give
as satisfactory distribution of calci
um arsenate as those mentioned above
but have some advantages. They sell i
for $55.00 and one machine will take I
care of five to forty acres. Some of :
these are: *
