Brown Sc Brown * Lata Planted Cotton And The 801 l Weevil. Washington, D C. —Occasional- ly the theory is announced that the boil weevil can be controlled by late planting better than by early planting of the crop. The Bureau of Entomology has conducted many experiments to determine whether late planted cotton will produce a satisf ac. ory crop. The rest) Its have ail been negative. The advocates of late planting, however, have contended that the experiments of the Department have not been conducted on a . <i.. fiy large scale. On tins ..ccmuit .u imm uali v . large ex pet i; h:.: us provided by natuial conditions in Louisiana is of interest in tiie Sinng oi 1918 there was an overflow by Bayou cte Glaize in AVe>y eiies i’aii h, oecuring in -day and ‘contmui g until euny m June. On one side ot the Bay on a strip of land one mile long and irom eight to ten milts wide was flooded. The levee on the oppo site side of the Bayou retained the w ater. Cotton was planted early on tne one side and late on the other. It has furnished a large scale contrast between the two methods of planting in the same iocality and onjdentical soil form ations. Examinations which have just .been made by the Bereau of Ento mology show that a crop of half a bale was made on the side that t *v , > v>as not overflowed where the planting was early while the oppo site side jvnich was late planted yielded much less. A few illustra tions out of many that were obtain ed will be given. O. H. Joffrion obtained a yield of 1125 pounds of seed cotton from a crop planted on April 15 while the crop planted across the Bayou on May 20 yield ed 650 pounds of seed cotton per acre- Mr. 0. P. Couvillion planted on May 22 and obtained one-fourth of a bale per acre. In 1911 on the same field- 4h t *produeed e -hfrlf a per acre. The illustrations that have been given «how the general difference between the early and late planted cotton. The observations, there fore, prove in a very definite way that late planted crops are sure to be injured more severely than when planted early,—Office of In formation U. S. Dept, of Agricul ture.
