One of the most effective steps
in boil weevil control is the ear

Just as soon as the cc:tto6 car be
harvested, 90 into the cotton
field and either turn under the
cotton stalks or rip them up with
a plow. The object is to destroy
the cotton plants.
l Weevils can not feed on dead

! Over most of the cotton belt ii
is possible to gather the cotton
early enough to permit of the
destruction of the cotton stalks
three TO four weeks before q kill
ing frost will destroy them.
Three to four weeks earlier in
going into winter quarters means
that death of weevils from star
