'SMSECT ENEMIES —ECLL WEEVIL
The boll weevil is the mo>t <fp
.'jttcoctive enemy of the cotton plant.
xHl' V 892 it crossed the Rio Grande
Mexico near Brownsville,
* Tejjts. During the 28 years since
t Mim its invasion of the United
has been practically un
<dßb«Sked. until now it covers al
jwr.ffit the entire area of cotton pro
jsmAion, onlv about 115,000 square
rviites being free of the pest at the
uj&rese of 1919.
Tbe boll weevil is a decided
ran "sr.ace to the prosperity and wel
jmrt of America. It presents a
4P-'*Wem that must be met with
aarirtence, perseverance and co-op

A hiie the onward march of the

*unt entirely, eradicate it.
When the right methods are
ued, cotton production under
•w">rvil conditions becomes almost
i mwsrmal.
The best methods of fighting
tbs weevi* are as follows:
Si.. Pick the cotton as early in
Hte fall as possible and itnmerii*
tDlily chop the stalks and turn

art.t»rn humus to the soil, but it

walking it unlikely that it will sur

. T Select good seed of early
i tuiii'.g varieties. Let your local

vcVege advise you as to the b j st

Btsnt for and destroy the wee

ts ireful to have them all picked

of the pests and prevent

1 arly attempts to poison the

t'trl in 1918 the Ditla laboratory at
TulKilah, Louisiana, conducted ex

satisfactory and were made pub
tic. Last year many cotton grow
ers tried the plan with such suc
cess that it is more or less gener
ally believed that this method of
combating the boll weevil will
spread rapidly.
But the use of a poison spray
calls for properly devised machin
ery; it involves many details. For
these reasons it is advisable that
those who desire to use the meth
od should secure full information
from the laboratory at Tallulah.
The weevil eats nothing but
cotton and goes into winter quar
ters close to the field, hiding in
old stumps, piles of trash or wher
ever it can find protection.
Oniy a small per cent survive
the winter; very few that go into
winter quarters poorly feed live
til! spring.
Those that do surviye, are very
weak and can be picked very easy.
