County Agent Tells
How To Reduce
Weevi| In 49,
Less WeeviI This
Year Than Lost;
Better Yields

Nov the cotton picking is in full
swing, farmers may reduce boil wee
vii damage to next years CROP
states l. w. Carson, County Agent,
"Cotton may be picked early to pre-
vent weather damage to the lint and
seed. Getting cotton picked early i'm.
proves the grade, allows earlier plant
ing of winter cover crops and early
fall cutting of the cotton stalks fol
boil weevil control"
Better yields are expected in most
sections this season than have been
obtained in any year since 1887.
Part of this increase in yield is due
to the fact that the boil weevil did
not cause as much damage as in 1943.
One way to keep bill weevils down
and to reduce damage to the 1913
crop is to starve them this fall. Boil
weevils feed on the squares and green
bolls, but if there are no squares OF
bolls they can live on the green leaves
of cotton. Cutting off the weevils
food sends them into winter hiberna-
ton in poor condition, and they are
less likely to live until spring. Tests
by entomologists of the. Department
og Agriculture have proved that the
earlier food is removed from the
weevils the fewer weevils will live
through winter.
1t is necessary to stop all growth
of cotton by cutting or blowing out
the stalks to starve the weevils. This
can be done with any suitable nipple
ments that are on hand, such as stalk
cutters, moving machines, disk har-
rows, turning plows, or middle bust
ers, Mr.. Carson says. Some SScowers
have found that putting extension
Tugs on their tractor wheels and run
dining the wheels over the cottn
plants does a good, quick job. The
important thing is to stop all cotton
growth and fruiting as early as pos
sible and send the weevils into whit.
err quarters hungry.
