No WeeviIs Yet.
/, Mr.. ]. E. Edmunds, Of Ridgeway, is
still getting along without any weevils
in his cotton. Mr.. Edmunds is the man
to whom MesSers. Quinn Wallace, A.
l.. Black, c. M. Inman and C. j. Young
blood applied some weeks ago to see
the effect of sweet poisoning on cotton.
What they learned was fully set forth
by story that Mr.. Wallace told The
Yorkville Enquirer Immediately after
the return Of the party. Mr.. Black has
q letter from Mr.. Edmunds under date
OF July 80, written in reply to letter
asking how the experiment is coming
on. In his letter Mr. Edmunds says
that he has been keeping his. cotton
poisoned faithfully, and it is as free of
weevils as when the party was at his
place. He has changed his mixture to
half molasses and half water so that it
will run more easily over the plant.
Some Of his neighbors who have been
but not so thoroughly have
a few weevils and some who have not
poisoned at all are ruined. His own
cotton is tapping in the rows and he
counted 78 squares and bolls to the
stalk the other day. He says that II
he can get ten days more of good
weather he will feel sure of a bale to
the acre unless he has some bad luck
from some source other than the
weevil. He continues to use shallow
cultivation in the centre Of the rows
with a contrivance that knocks off the
dead squares from either side.
