BUSTING COTTON TO KILL
BOIL WEEVIL PROVES ITS
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Poisoning Of cotton TO destroy the
proving highly remuncrative TO the farm
ers of the Valley, according 10 II. Lowrie
OF Pharr, who is interested in number
of gins in llidalgo county and is one Of
the big cotton growers of that part of
the Valley.
According to the statement made by
Mr.. Lowre those farmers who busted
their cotton with calcium arsenate are
averaging approximately onc-fourth of
bale more per acre than those whose
cotton was not treated. At the present
cotton prices this means an average of
about $50 per acre gained by the dust
ing process.
The ravages of the boil weevil have
been extensive, but according to cotton
growers who make a practice of treating
their cotton, the loss has been greatly
curtailed. as many farmers are beginn-
ing 10 realize the profit derived by the
proper application of calcium arsenate.
Mr.. Lowrie also stated that practic-
ally all OF the treated cotton would
make a good September crop. much Of il
being now in bloom. In the untreated
fields the leaf or army worm is rap
idly denuding the plants thereby making
second crop impossible. With the ad-
dition Of the September crop the treat
ed fields will yield from fourth to
a half bale per acre. and add many hun
dreds of bales 10 the Valleys crop this
season.
