Find Poison Control
OF Weevils Effective

Quite few farmers who have
been using calcium arsenate on their
cotton this season in Sumter county
have been having splendid results,
according to George o. Marshall, the
county farm demonstration agent.
Most of the users have confined its
application to specially infested
spots" in their fields, he says, and
have observed it's effect very closely
with the result that it's effectiveness
has been amply demonstrated. Pres
ent weather conditions, he says, are
adverse to cotton and if continued
may result in substantial damage,
but up to date these conditions have
interfered but little with boil weevil
control methods, and with fair wea-
Their any time soon, Mr.. Marshall be-
lieves it will be possible to continue
to control the weevils with calcium
arsenate.
AS usual in continued rainy wealth
er, cotton is shedding some IN all
parts of the county, and much of the
fruit made within the past week or
ten days has already been lost, this
loss not being attributable to the
boil weevil.
