Directions for 801 l Weevil Control
Circulars letters were sent out to
each farmer who bought calcium
arsenate whose name I had. • These
detailed instructions which are easy
to follow, yet> some are using slacks,,
cans, sprays and other contraptions
after the cotton has formed squares.
The following directions sent out
by the Georgia State College of Ag
riculture are simple and hay what
they mean. The recomendations
made in this circular are based on
years of tests of different methods
of poisoning a 1 over Georgia. The
I College kept Mr. Frank Ward going
| over the state visiting tests scattered
over the entire state for several
years. Any person can follow these
j direction. The rrqjin difference be
tween these and the circular letters
mailed out by me are their recom
endations that “begin dusting when
10 per cent of squares are punctur
ed.” I recomended the early mop
ping or dusting then dust again when
weevils appear in the fields because
beginners will not go to the troub'e
to count the punctured squares as
they should do. Waiting for 10 per
cent infestation will save you much
calcium arsenate and give equally as
good results.
Here is Their Program.... It will

either calcium arsenate in dust form
or calciunl arsenate-molasses mixture
in proportion of one pound of cal
cium arsenate, one gallon of molas

in bud. Use as soon as mixed. (One

4. —Dust at four to five day inter
vals until 3 to 4 applications are
made and the weevils are under con

5. —Use from 4 to 8 pounds of cal
cium arsenate each application.
6. —Dust when air is still and
plants are moist.

that has been proved reliable.

weevils again puncture 10 per cent
of squares.

other method might be better? This
method has been proven after years
of use. Frank McSwain has used it
for three years continously and has
noj, yet failed to control his weevil's
and to make a good crop. Others
have done the same.
If you
the plow the only chance for you to
keep up with your crops and poison
thoroughly is to use a two row ma
chine. You cannot do it with hand
machinery on more than 10 acres to
; to the plow. (A two row machine
| will dust the whole 15 acres in one
! night. Dust only at night in this
section as we have toe much wind in
the' day.
Control the Weevils
Articles have been carried in the
: county papers giving the detai's of
dusting and controlling the weevils
time and time again. Circulars have
, been posted in the store windows
| and the banks and merchants have
: given out government circulars giv
| ing directions in detail. There is
little excuse for any one not knowing
how to control the weevils. Our
county agent is here at your service
at any time. You need not fall out
with him because he says the dusting
method is the best because he is
•merely teTling you what he has ob
served and what tests for years have
shown. Other methods miay be
worked out yet but so far the dust
method has proven most practical
for the farmers.
How is Your Dusting Machine
Working
Dont blame your dusting machine
if something gets wrong with it—
fix it and keep it running, during the
time it ought to be running. Let me
know if you cannot find the trouble
and I will go and see it regardless of
what make is or where you secured
it. Machines are like humans—they
have to be looked after. The most
trouble I have found from the var
ious makes of machines owned by the
farmers is that they do not seem t°
know how to adjust them. That can
be eorrectedi n a few minutes. Keep
them we j oiled and see that all nuts
and set screws are kept tight.
Above all else do not hit your mule
with a whip or the line hard and make
him jerk the machine. Remember it
is running at a very high rate of
speed and naturally the bearing are
under heavy strain. A sudden jerk
may break some important part and
then your machine must lie idle un
til your repair it.
Armjr Worms and Leaf Worms
If the army worn or leaf worm
starts in your fie’d just dust all over
the infested area and' some ways
ahead of him so as to completely sur
round the infested area with poison
and kill them out before they get a
start. I have not heard of any so
far this year but since we had so
many leaf worms last year it is well
to be on the lookout. Some counties
have had the Army worm, but have
easily controlled him with the poison.
(Apply the ca'cium arsenate at a
heavier rate than you do for the
weevils. Use 6to 10 pounds to the
acre and dust it on at night as you
do for the weevils.
Corn and Cotton Club Boys
'A letteT is being mailed to each of
you this week with further instruct
ions. Several of the acres I have
visited recently are looking fine and
I believe we are going to have some
mighty good acres as well as some
fine pigs this year.
