McCampbell had about 80 acres in
cotton this year and decided TO
give the Paris green remedy for
boil weevil through test. To this
end he poisoned his cotton every
nine days, and the result was very
satisfactory No boil weevils were
in evidence, and he made a good
crop of cotton. This shows that
while the weevil may not be en-
tirely eradicated, a systematic use
of Paris green will reduce his raw
ages to a minimum, and fair yield
of cotton be obtained. The trouble
with many farmers is they have too
much faith in Paris green, and only
make one or two applications,
trusting this amount to last for the
entire season. Mr.. McCampbel1
proves by actual results that the
remedy will keep the weevil down.
