Cotton Despite
Boil Wcevil
Mi-si-sipr.an Has Plan TO Fish,
Destroyer OF IA Cotton
Cop.

O.. NJ. Manor, a Increment and
planter Of Ahdiag. "A few niles
sodth of Yazoo City has made a
discovery that euatl e mm during
the iast season - malaasp.sn3id
crop ~ cotton in probably the
wors. infested boil weevii section
OF the country. Mr.. Naapr.teeis
~ coud over the success cf his
plan that he wants everyone TO
Know OF Il. in the hope that the
damage by reason OF the weevil
infestattOn may be teduceed to a
minimum.
Mr.. Manor's plan was to attach
% all the plows, "a soon A. the
cotton is ready TO work. a gunEy
sack or other heavy cloth.
saturated with the following mix
ture: Lubricating oil, one sNIl1a.
moth balls, one pound. Boil
together and add one pint Of
tar and mix with five gallons
coal oil.
The sacks are saturated with
this mixture and attached To the
singletre-s, and as the plow ing
ia done. the sacks drag automa-
ucsily over the plants. The fumes
Of the mixture are very obnoxious
to the weevils and as the fumes
stay on the plants a long time,
the pest will not attack the
plants. As the crop ia piowed
frequently, the fumes stay on
the plants from one plcwing 10
the next, so that the plants are
thus made immune from the
ravagrs of the pest.
AZ evidence Of the sucoe-s of
the plan, MIR. Manor made ~
bales of cotton the last season
with four families. while a
neixhbor who relied wholly on
the government cultural methods
of picking and burning the
squares made only % bales with
IL families and three wage
hands.
Mr.. Manor would have gotten
a good deal more cotton than he
did brt for the heavy rains In
Sept. which rotted a great many
bolls in the field. He thinks il
conservative To say that TIL
entire crop average at least one
half bale 20 the acre. which is q
good average under norma
conditions.
Mr.. Manor also takes ths
precautiOn not b. use any e1tto
seed that have been raised q,

His ida IL that some weevil
hibernate in the old seed. and II
this way. some Of them are KEEP
!. alive and prepetuated in the neN
crop. By buying new seed froS
some section where the weevI
does mo-. exist, he thinks III
. damages Of the weevil are redue
ed considerably.
