Boll Weevils . I his Area
in
Active, According to
County Agent.
From a number* of field exam
jna(ions marfe j ast wee k and the
first of this week we find the boll
weevil is becoming active, We
found a number of squares punc
tured and have had reports from
farmers who are finding grubs.
Early poisoning when adult wee
vils are few is the most profitable
in our opinion. If the cotton is
not limbing we would suggest ajD
plications of liquid poison at 5
day intervals for three applica
tions. The liquid poison should be
mixed one gallon syi'up, one
pound calcium amenate and one
gallon water. Where cotton is
large and beginning to limb we
would suggest using dust with a
good duster with a strong fan.
Last week we went down to the

has built a modern barn and le
modeled the home hous. and has

McJntns h said he had sprayed
them with Rotenone a new pois

harmless to people. So if you are
having bean beetle troubles we
would advis your trying this new
poison and you need not be afraid
to use the beans afte: applying
this harmless poison. Mr. McIn
tosh also has a young orchard set
that is growing and will be into

This farm had been badly neg
