FARM DEMONSTRATION WORK
BY R. L. Sloan
AGENT FOR GRANT PARISH

Boil Weevil Can Be Controlled With
| Calcium Arsenate Poison.
| Within the past few years a
poison has been developed that
will control the cotton boil weevil
at an average cost under expert
mental conditions of about five
dollars per acre. The gains un-
der weevil conditions where tried
in the three states of Arkansas.
Louisiana, and Mississippi have
ranged from $50 pounds to 1000
pounds per acre of seed cotton
over imprisoned plots adjoining.
Calcium arsenate is the poison
used and it is busted on the cot
ton plants when damp with dew
early in the morning, late in the
afternoon, or at night. 1t is not
necessary to commence poison
ing until the weeviIs become
rather plentiful and punctured
squares begin to fall to the
ground. From three to five ap-
plications should then be made
at intervals of from a week to |
~
ten days. Each application will
require about five pounds of poi
son per acre and will cost ap-
proximately one dollar per acre.
The above is a brief summary
of the recommendations of Mr..
B. R. Coad, who has spent sew
eral years working on the boil
weevil problem at Tallulah, La.
Mr.. Coad emphasizes the point
that further experimental work
is necessary before it will be
possible to make general recon-
nendations applicable to varying
conditions. The County Agent
vas fortunate enough to secure
/ number of pamphlets describ- {
ng Mr.. Coad's work before the
supply was exhausted and he !
will be glad to give these to in {
parties. Those contem- !
,lating poisoning cotton on a t
arge scale are urged by Mr..
;oad to write the Delta Labora-
ory, Tallulah, La. for specific {
dvice.
