UNUSUALABUNDANCE
OF BOLL WEEVILS
i it.. .mii.'rf
For the information of those farm
ers in the county, who are using Cal
cium Arjenate to control the boll
v/eev.l in connection with the ccttnn
ciop, I am giving beiow some ex
cerpts from circular issued from the y
cilice of Mr. B. B. Coad, who is in
charge, ol’ the toll weev.l* investiga- ft
tions at the Delta Laboratory, Tal- j?
vallh, I-a.
“t\r the past few weeks we have
been accumulat ng records of the
emergence o£ the boll weevil from
nearly ail of the cotton states, and
ace bribing universally as we fore
casted some months ago, that the
number c£ over-wintered weevils is
far grea'or than usual; in fact, in
many ilisi'-icts where accurate counts
have bvo;i made it has beoe found
that we have in the fields now ns, s
many weevils as are ordinarily pres-ij
ent a month later when the first I i
summer-bred brood has started to ap-j
pear. With anything like normal i
weather condiiions this is going to i
mean a tremendously rapid increase
in the weevil damage, and this willJ
nave an important bearing on the
program to be followed by those us
ing calcium arsenate for the coVrol
■A the weevil.”
“Another very important effect of
tiiis heavy inflcstat.on will be felt
1-uer in the season. When tho v/e-
vils first emerge frem hibernation
and reach the cotton field they move
around very little as long as they
can find an ample supply of unpunc-
turn! squares for them use, but Just
an soon as the infestation becomes
sufficiently heavy to puncture practi
cally all squares these tveevils stait
to move in search of fresh pastutes i
In an ordinary season th's r.ieau3
that you usually have only the wee
vils bred in your own cotton to con
tend with, until som e time from the
latter part of July to the last of Au
gust. depending upon the locality.
, This year, however, this movement
of migration of weevils will probably
start several weeks earlier than us
ual. Consequently, It will not only
be necessary for you to start poison
ing earlier to control -your own in
festation, but you should also expect
that, before you hav e had the time
to mature the fruit which your
plants have set during this period of
protection, you will begin to exper-
iecne as immigration of weevils
from poisoned cotton. Of course this
condition will not arise if everyone
in a distret was successfully poison
ing his cotton; but this will not be
the case ths year, and just as soon
as all the unpoisoned crops are punc
tured the migration to the poisoii-d
fields will commence. This means
that every day a large crop of new
weevils will move into these poison
ed fields, and it is going to take con
tinuous, thorough poisoning to pro
tect to maturity the crop which has
been allowed to set by th e earlier ap
plications.”
“These two facts mean just this:
Succssful weevil control thi3 year
is going to require more effort and
mor e poison per acre than has ever
been th case in the past. On the oth
er hand where there is much more
assurance of profit from tho opera
tion than is usually tho case. Th i
increase in the cost per ace broug.it
about by the increase 1 numoer of
applications necessary will io far
more than compensated for by tho
fact that th e weevil damege v iliout
poisoning will be far greater than
normal, and thus the margin of profit
on tho operation is tremendously
increased. In other words, a heavy
weevil infestation such as we have
this year means a greater expend!
ture per acre for poisoning to suc
cessfully control It, but it also means
a greater actual net profit in dollars
and cents per acre from tho poison
ing operatons.”
