Boil WeeyiI
Poisoning News

Here is something new for thu
cotton farmer to think about wher
he starts to poison boil weevils.
Unexpected results have some.
times followed efforts to poison in.
sects that are crop pests What's one
insects poison. j another's meat
the experience OF the u. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture reveals. Pow.
dered derris root is a first class poi.
son for many insects, hut other in
sects feed freely on derris roots in
storage.
AS another example, some cotton
growers who busted their plants
with arsenical dnsts have found that
even when the dhSting killed nearly
all the boil weevils, the busted cot
ton plants might not yield mucG
more than undusted ones. The i'm
mediate explanation was that aphids
had multiplied until their feeding on
the sap of the plant offset most Of the
gains from absence of the weevils.
The first thought was that the dust
ing killed not only wcevils but other
insects that would normally pref on
the arhids OF plant lice and prevent
their multiplication.
Careful study by entomologists
showed. however, that calcium ar
senate also increased the aphids in
other ways. They discovered and re-
ported last year that the arsenic alb
sorbed into the cotton sap through
the leaves and through the roots
not only failed to kill the aphids,
but actually stimulated their multi
pication. They also found that the
more alkaline the sap became as
from the lime in calcium arsenate -
