SWAT THE BOIL WEEv|L
By l. A Markham Iron Mountain Agricultural Commissioner

In many localities it is now a GER
tainty that we shall have to fight the
boil weevil to get cotton crop, IN
less extreme dry weather should pre-
vail. The earlier we begin the fight
and the harder we wage it, the better
the results will be.
Beginning the battle at this time
the first step to be taken is to begin
picking up and destroying the pune
tured squares. These contain the eggs
and larvae of the weevil, from which
will come a new and many times larg-
er brood unless they are destroyed
If the coming of this brood Of young
weevils can be prevented the problem
will be practically solved, for practic-
ally all the old weevils will have died
by the middle of July. On the other
hand, if this new brood is allowed to
mature and reproduce the next crop
of weevils will get past control and
long before the end of the fruiting pc
Rod of the cotton the fields will be
swarming with millions of them. IL
is estimated that from one normal
pair of weevils to begin with at the
first of the season there may come, UNI
der average conditions, a progeny
of 100000 by the time the third gener-
alton energies.
In but few other matters has the
literal truth of the adage, "a stitch in
time saves nine," been 50 often and so
forcibly demonstrated as in dealing
with the boil weevil problem. Many
cotton planters have made good crops
every year in the very midst of the
worst boil weevil infestation by begin
ming early and diligently keeping up,
the picking up and burning of
squares, while often their less eau
tious neighbors wfro neglected this
work have lost their crops.
When the first signs of the weevils'
presence are seen is the time to begin
this work. It will not do to wait two

weeks or a month; the weevils will
then be 50 numerous you can make no
Roadway against them. Start the
very day you find the first punctured
squares and continue to pick them up
once week at least, and twice a week
if possible, until the danger periad
has been passed. This will not be be-
fore the middle of July or later.
Some authorities advise putting the
squares which have been brought in
from the field in some sort of screened
receptacle, so as to pesmit the devel-'
opment and escape of certain para
sites which feed on the eggs and lar,
vac of the weevils, and thus to assist
in it's determination. Unless you can
do this, take the squares direct to a.
fire and burn them. Do not pile them
about fields, for this creates condi-'
ton exceedingly favorable to the de-
velopment of the eggs and larvate.
Do not be deferred from doing this
work by the idea that unless your
neighbors also burn squares your
fields will become infested from
theirs. This will not be the case, for
there is scarcely any movement of the
weevil from the field till the annual
migratory movement begins in the
fall 1t is an individual problem for
you 10 solve.
This work is not very expensive.
To be effective, it must be done when
there are but few squares to pick UP.
After the squares have begun to fall
in large numbers, picking them up is
practically useless task, for the wees
wills are then beyond control. Many
planters employ the cheap L Jor of
children for this work. Some pay by
the day or job, while others pay
stipulated sum per hundred for the
squares. Others stimulate the pickers
to greater exertions by offering prizes
to those securing the greatest number
of punctured squares.
