Handling the Cotton Crop
By L. E. SWAIN, County Agent.
The cotton fields are now being in
fested wlith the first crop of new
weevils. These new weevils are the
first descendants of the old weevils
which have passed the winter in hi
bernation. The multitude of this
new crop depends entirely on how
successfully the farmer has killed off
the boll weevils and how v/ell he has
cleaned up and destroyed the punc
tured squares. Wh,ile the numbers
cf over-wintered weevils have been
very great; this year, still the real
test in boll weevil control has just
begun. The young weevils after
emerging from the cotton squares
will feed for two or three days in the
blooms when they too will commence
to puncture the squares and the end
less propagation of the species will
commence all over again. Climatic
conditions cause considerable varia
tion in the different stages of the de
velopment of the weevil, but on an
average it takes from two to three
weeks for the weevil to reach ma
turity after the egg is deposited in
the sqiare. Ordinarily the young
weevil after emerging from the cot
ton squaro as an adult will com
mence the reproduction of another
generation in from three to five days
We all know that if a successful cot
ton crop is to be produced the early
squares taken on by the plant must
he protected, and the only way to
do his is by keeping the number of
weevils reduced to the lowest pos
sible minimum while the early
squares are developing. While every
stage in the boll weevl] fight is im
portant and should not be discount
ed, I would say Without a doubt that
we are now at the turning point, or
rartlng of the ways, for the cotton
crop this year. If infestation has
been kept down so that only a lim
ited number of young weevils emerge
to attack the squares, the farmer ca«
assure himself that with a continu
ation of control measures yields con
sistent with the character of the
land, fertilization and cultivation
will be secured, otherwise the out
come of his crop !b of very doubtful
character.
I would recommend in this con
nection, that the crop be not ‘‘layed
off" early. If the crop has been
gone over every few days with the
plow, and the feeding roots of the
plants kept away from the surface,
cultivation can be continued until
the bolls commence to open. This
character of late cultlvat'on tends to
keep the plant in a fruiting condi
tion.
