POISONING BOIL WEEVL

What is claimed to be the most Of.
fective method yet devised for com
batting the boil weevil is that Of poi.
soning it with calcium ~arsenate. The
method vas perfected by B. r. CosN
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. at the Tallulah, La. sta
ton. after several years of expert
naenting. The weevil is poisoned by
busting the cotton at night or while
the dew is on, using a busting ma
chine to apply 1t. The material poi.
o n the dew on which the weevil de-
Ponds for his drinking water. The
weevil is killed, but there is another
generation Matching out, so that the
poison must be applied three or four
times at a week Or ten days intervals.
Experiments show that the weevil
a be kept down to such an extent
that they Ear not do serious damage.
The cotton saved is worth far more
than the cost.
1t is important that the right kind
of calcium arsenate be used. There
are different kinds, made for differ
emit purposes. The wrong kind may
be too weak to kill weevils, or too
strong and injure the cotton plant.
There is no use to begin busting
he cotton plants before about ten
out of every 100 squares are p~unctured
by the weevii. 1t will be a waste Of
mone to undertake to spray a field
thoroughly to when there are fewer
weevils In the field. While 1t will
kill practically all that are alive, the
new hatch will have to be taken care
of by subsequent sprays. 1t is not ad.
yised that any one undertake to dust
the plants with anything else than the
regular busting machines. The pole
and bag methods has not proven sue
cessful.
The poison material will cost To-
four applications from So to 81 pei

FERTILIZER SITUATION
OUTLOOK FOR COMMERCIAL
PLANT FOOD IN SOUTH
Prices Not So High As They
Were, But Materials Are
Reported Not Equal
To Demand

Atlanta, Ga.-A survey Of the fer.
tilizer situation by those familiar with
Il indicates that there may be q short.
Z Of commercial plant food in 1920.
The reasons assigned for this are prin.
cipaly that strikes have interfered
with the production of materials. In
addition, there has been some diff
Guilty in obtaining shipments over the
railroads.
To be more specific. the long drawn
cut strike of miners in the rock phos-
plate fields of Florida prevented .
supply of rock phosphate being ship
ped to the factories. This and the diff
ficulty Of getting prompt shipments
when the mines resumed work, 1t b
claimed, has put the manufacture OF
acid phosphate more than three
months behind, besides reducing the
possible supply.
AS to ammoniates " heterogeneous
materials, 1t is pointed out that tho
coal and steel plant strikes greatly
reduced the possible output Of sui
phate of ammonia. Tankage and cot
tonseed meal are 80 much in demand
as feed as to be unavailable or o ex-
pensive to use az fertilizers. Nj
crate of soda is being shipped in larger
amounts, but not as cheaply % was
expected. 1t seems that the demand
for nitrate of soda tn the orient, e.
pecially, has kept up the price higher
than was anticipated.
AS for potash. there is going to be
S fair supply, the first time since the
European war began. A considerable
amount of potash has been shipped
from Germany to France, while there
LIS quite an accumulation Of stocks
Of desirable American-made potash on
hand.
The Soil Improvement Committee
Of the Southern Fertilizer Association,
with headquarters in Atlanta, is send
Ing out information to southern farm
ers urging them TO order their fire.
tliZers early and for immediate ship
ment. The reasons given are that
there is going to be great difficulty
1 supplying the demand, and the
sooner it is known how much the
farmer wants. the sooner the manu-.
sacturer will know how big a job he
has on his hands and how hard he
must work to accomplish as much Of
IT as possible.
1t is also sFssted that the railroads
are anxfor< fertilizers be ordered
early so @ey may be able to pro
vide cars, else there viii bs a serious
difficulty In getting fertilizers dsliv-
cred on time. The railroads are also
insisting on full carload shipments.
which makes it necessary to have or.
ders early so as to consolidate them
into full carloads.
1t is stated that tbs Indications are
that there will be a heavy demand for
fertilizers throughout the South this
year on account Of the promising
prospects for southern crops 1t ia
