This is the vital season for pols-

demonstration agent, poison ani

bends in larger cotton yield, says
Marshall.
While the cotton plant is small,
Marshall says, the weevil can be
most easily killed, and the few
eggs that are laid in the tiny
squares now present will hardly
hatch out anyway. A thorough APP
rlication of weevil poison, now fol-
lowed within four days, with wealth

remove the necessity for any fur
Their poisoning this season. At
least this was the experience OIL
many Sumter county farmers last

Either dry calcium arsenate or
any of the sO-called "molasses
mixtures" will control the weevil
at this season, Mr.. Marshall states
and farmers may use their indi-
vidual judgment in the selection
Of the poison they prefer to use
The State College of Agriculture
he says, recommends either dry
calcium arsenate or a mixture Of
