WAYS TO FIGHT
The BOIL WEEV|L
Cotton Pest May Some Time Be
Eradicated If People
Will Try.

The boil weevIl is the most destruc-
tive insect enemy of the cotton plant.
In 1892 it crossed the Rio Grande
sronl Mexico near Brownsville, Texas.
During the % years since then its
invasion of the United States has
been practically unchecked, until now
1t covers almost the entire area of
cotton production, only abut $4,000
square miles being free of the pest at
the close of 1919.
The boil weevil is decided menace

]. and cooperation.
While the onward march of the
pest has not been stopped we have
learned by experience how to fight it
and if we work all together, and all
eat intelligently, there seems little
reason to doaht that eventually we
can almost, if not entirely, eradicate
IL
When the right methods are used,
cotton production under weevil con-
ditions becomes almost normal.
The best methods of fighting the
weeyiF are as follows:
I. Pick the cotton as early in the
fall as possible and Immediately chop
the stalks and turn them under. Not
snly viii this return humus to the
soil, but It will deprive the weevil of
its food and ,force it into its winter
quarters lin poor physical condition,
a,aking it, unlikely that it will survive
the: winter.
7. 70 Select good seed of early matur-
ing varieties. Let your local farm
adviser or your agriculture college
advise you as to the best varieties for
y~ur legality. The earlier we pick
cur cotton the earlier we can pillow
under the stalks and cut off the food
supply Of the weevil.
s. Plant as early as the soil is
warm on we'll drained land.
A. Begin cultivating early and cul
tiySte frequently until picking time
5. Hunt for and destroy the wee
Wis as son as they appear on tn,
young plants. When the squares be
gin falling to the ground be careful
30 have them all picked up and burn
ed. This will destry many of tn
pests and prevent their spreading t,

the Ditla laboratory at Tallulah, Lou
isiana, conducted experiments on
$4,000 acres Of cotton, using calcium
arsenate in the form of poison dust
spray.
The results were considered salts
factory and were made public. Last
year many cotton growers tried the
plan with such success that it is more
or less generally believer that this
method of combating the boil weevil
will spread rapidly.
But the use of poison spray calls
for properly devised machinery; it
involves many details. For these rea-
sons it is advisable that those who de-
sire to use the method should secure
full information from the laboratory
a. Tallulah.
The weevil eats nothing but cotton
and goes into winter quarters close
to the field. hiding in old stumps.
piles of trash or wherever it can find
protection.
Only small per cent survive the
"'inter; very few that go into winter
quarters poorly fed live till spring.
! Those that do survive, feed on the
buds of the plants from the time the
plants are very young until the squar-
es are formed. When the weevil first
appears in the spring. it is very weak
and is easily picked off the plants.
This work is usually done by children
but thorough job will pay big re-
turns.
