KILL WEEVILS
INEXPENSIVELY
Early Destruction of Boll
Weevils Before They
Lay Eggs Advised.
Community Early Co - operation in
Destruction of Green
Cotton Stalks and Early Poi¬
soning Important.
By C. A. Whittle, Editorial Manager,
Soil Improvement Committee,
Southern Fertilizer Association.
Three simple and inexpensive things
should be done to kill boll weevils early
before they can lay eggs,
1. Destroy the green cotton stalks
early in the fall.
2. Poison the weevil before cotton
•squares form in the spring.
3. Do the two things mentioned thor¬
oughly on a community-wide ba¬
sis.
The outlay for poison will ordinarily
be 15 to 30 cents per acre for the treat¬
ment mentioned.
Let us take up each recommendation
in detail. The reason for killing the
green cotton stalks is to deprive the
boll weevils of its food.
If the cotton is picked early and the
green stalks destroyed immediately the
boll weevils will starve in great num¬
bers before the following spring. But
what is more important, the few wee¬
vils that survive their long hiberna¬
tion will, with greater certainty, be
forced out of winter quarters early be¬
fore squares form on cotton plants. This
affords just the opportunity desired to
get at and poison the weevil before
they have an opportunity to lay eggs,
so that there will be no future genera¬
tions of those weevils to do damage.
Poisoning at this period of the
plant’s growth is inexpensive. One
to two pounds of calcium arsenate per
acre is all that is needed. Nor is there
need for a machine with which to ap¬
ply the poison. A dust bag shaken over
the tops of the young plants has proven
an effective way for applying poison.
It is probable, however, that a special¬
ly designed machine would more el
fectively force the poison into the buds.
For this early poisoning the object
is to put poison in the terminal or top
growth bud of the cotton plant. It is
there that the weevil feeds until squares
form. If the bud is full of poison dust,
the weevil will suck some of it up
when feeding and be killed.
Early poisoning has been widely
practiced with good results. The Flor¬
ida Experiment Station, especially, has
clearly demonstrated that one applies
tion of poison to the terminal buds af¬
ter all the weevils are out of winter
quarters, is all that is necessary to ap¬
ply for control of the weevils for the
entire season.
But the early destruction of cotton
eta Iks and early poisoning as described
will not be completely effective unless
they are both done on a community
wide basis. If only a part of the green
cotton stalks of a community are de¬
stroyed, not all the weevils will be
forced into winter quarters early and.
therefore, not all may come out of win¬
ter quarters early so that they can be
poisoned before they lay eggs.
And if only part of the farmers in •
neighborhood poison early, those who
do not will allow the weevils to get a
start that may cause a migration into
treated fields during the season.
Therefore, this simple and inexpen
sive method of boll weevil control will
be most completely effective when ev¬
erybody in each community puts it into
force. But it *111 pay to adopt these
measures even if no other person In
the neighborhood does. It will keep
down infestation and hold down the cost
of the expensive poisoning later in the
season.
One application of poison i« usually
sufficient to kill the weevils before the
squares form.
Often many wintered - over weevils
will be found on young cotton long be¬
fore squaring time. Unless they are so
numerous as to be destroying the ter¬
minal buds of the plant, they need cause
no alarm. Most of them will die be¬
fore squaring time.
But if they are bad enough to top the
young cotton, make an application of
poison when they start this damage and
then poison again just before squares
form.
Farmers are also urged to begin
planning for a community destruction of
cotton stalks early next fall. This can
be done most quickly and effectively by
ripping up the stalks with a plow. Wee¬
vils cannot feed on dead stalks. It has
been found that as high as 97 per cent
of weevils going into winter quarters
will not survive if deprived of their
food by October 15th.
Weevils can be so completely sup¬
pressed by the methods mentioned as
to end the fight for the season, but until
these methods are put in force on a
community basis the cotton fanner
should be prepared so that if it is
found necessary, poison can be applied
by approved methods to the fruiting

The poison is to be delivered to the de¬

Recognition of Goethe.
It is a great mistake to suppose
that Goethe, whose star had already
risen, was at once generally recog¬
nized. His “Gotz von Berliehingen”
and his “Werther” had been enthus¬
iastically received, but no more so
than works of commonplace bunglers,
and Goethe was assigned a very small
niche in the temple of literature.—
