MUST USE POISON
IF A COTTON CROP
IS TO BE GROWN
In our county the production of a
cotton crop this year is now narrow
ed down to two things. First, the kind
| of season and second, the light on the
boll weevil. The land for cotton has
already been selected and prepared.
'CTm. kind'Attd amount of fertilizer has
been chosen and the variety of cotton
seed has in most cases been purchas
ed. In fact, most of the planting has
been done and we are waiting and
watching to see if the weevil hits us.
| We are hoping that the sever winter
l has wiped out the weevil, but a few
live ones have already come out of
hibernation in this county, so it is rea
sonable to expect others. Our cotton
crop will not depend so much on the
number of weevils that come through
the winter as it will on the number
that we have in July and August.
I. said above that our success will
depend upon the season and our fight
on the weevil. We have no control ov
er the season. We know that the sea
son can just about ruin our crop even
if we did not have any boll weevils.
We can however, make an intelligent
fight against the weevil. In this ramb
j ling article I wish to appeal entirely
to reason. I do not want anybody to
! try anything “Just for experiment.”
The experimenting has been done for
us. There have been a large number
of men experimenting for several
years. They have tried everything
from kerosene to electricity in an ef
fort to find some way of combating
the ravages t>f the well-known pest.
Up to this time the only thing found
that will kill the weevil without kill
ing the plants is poison which will get
inside of the weevil. Due to its price
and physical properties calcium arse
nate is being used. Os course, there
are two ways of using this poison—
the right way and the wrong way. A
great many have used some poison
without success, but in these cases
there was not enough poisoning done
or it was done at the wrong time.
It is very important to kill the
weevils that come out of hibernation
before squares appear. There are two
ways of getting these weeyiLs. Dust
ing dry calcium arsenate in the bud
as soon as the weevils appear in the
cotton. This will be the most practic
able where acreage is large and cheap
labor is not available. At this stage
only the dust may be shaken from the
bag while the weevils are feeding in
the tops of the plants. The other
method is to make a mixture of one
pound of calcium arsenate, one gallon
water and one gallon molasses or sy
rup, and with a mop put a few drops
in the bud. In syrup mixtures the sy
rup must always be sweet and unfer
mented and should be used within 21
hours after being mixetl. The usual
application of syrup mixture is one
gallon per acre. In either case the ap
plication may be repeated if ary num
ber of weevils appear before the fruit
blooms appear.
The poisoning in the bud should
keep the weevils down until the plants
have many squares and blooms. Then
it will likely be necessary to poison
again. Poisoning at this stage should
be done by applying calcium arsenate
dust with machinery made for that
purpose. Five to seven pounds per
acre should be used at one application.
For effective dusting the air must be
still and heavy but the plants do not
need to be moist. Dusting will usually
need to be done late in the evening,
at night or early in the morning.
A close watch should be kept on the
fields and as soon as general infesta
tion is noticeable dusting should begin
and should be repeated at about four
day intervals until the weevils are!
under control. It will usually take
three or four applications to bring
them under control.
If the above suggestions are carried
out together with rapid, shallow culti
vation and picking up and destroying
of squares the' damages, of the boll
weevil will be reduced to a minimum.
