THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1939
Methods of Killing
801 l Weevil Given
ATLANTA, July 11 (GPS).—The fight
on boll weevil in Georgia continues to
rage. Methods for elimination of the pesty
little beetles, which are said to have re
cently become, more numerous on Geor
gia farms, are contained in the current
issue of the Market Bulletin, published
by the state department of agriculture.
Farmers are advised by the bulletin to
destroy as many weevils as possible. One
nethod includes picking up fallen squares
and poisoning either by mopping or dust
ing with calcium arsenate.
State Entomologist M. S. Yeomans
suggests dusting with four to six pounds
f calcium arsenate per acre just after
luaring has started. Dust guns are rec
ommended to assure even distribution of
he calcium dust. It should be applied
hen the air is still, preferably in late
fternoon or early in the morning befo:-e
he dew dries. The poison should be re
peated if a heavy rain falls within 24
to 48 hours after application. Three ef
fective applications, a week to ten days
apart, should give good control, he said.

stimated loadings in the third quarter
of 1939 are 513.273 cars, compared with
actual loadings of 492.987 cars in the
same quarter in 1938, an increase of 4,1
per cent.
Commodities expected to show gains in
freight ear loadings and the estimated
increases are as follows: Flour, meal
and other mill products, 3.3 per cent.;
