Deas SIC ana 6riend: II gives me
much pleasure 10 comply gith your =
quese asking fog statement of my ex-
perience in poisoning Boil Weevifs,
which for several years I have done.
First, using it in the dust form, and for
THE LAST TWO YEARS applying it in LIQUID
form as per your formula, with the
spray pump. Have always been pleased
with results, and especially so the last
two years, as I believe my cotton made
much bigger yield through its effect.
Results have given us great faith in it.
and this includes every cropper on the
place. Had no trouble this year to get
the hands to apply the poison, and we
expect to continue to poison the cotton
as long as we have the weevi1, Your
