4WEtIE LAYE BEEN AS*l, Wmoot Attention Necessary at Critl es Period, Says Boll Weevil Cow. fsrence at Clemson. Cbmson Coisge.-"The first goner dIen of weevils has been active in f|b central and southern part of the Gte for the last ten days or twos Reeks and it is rapidly appearing in the Piedmont section. Infestation in; the southern section of the state and' the Pee Dee section has been com p9ratively high in the last ten days, whe farmers in the central and northern parts of the state will ob ' serve a rapid increase in square in tstation during the next week or tom days. The appearance of weevils at this time and the increase in the aunbor of punctured squares is due to natamal developmaenlt4 and this was to be expected.' The above statement was mad& at tho boll weevil conference held .here today, which was' attended by Direc I#= W. W. Long and H. W. Bare. saident W. M. Riggs. Prof. A. F. Conradi and his field entomologists, ap other speoialists, and at which there were reports made from the county agents and specialists as to weevil conditions in the various coun ties. Below are the details of the facts and suggestions brought out at the conference. Wetther conditions in most sections of the state are favorable to weevil de velopment, and the rains are unfavor able to weevil control. Over practi caly the entire state cotton is still continuing to fruit. but in those sec tions where infestation runs from 40 to 60 per cent, and with showerv weather, fruiting may not be expected to continue. Attention is particularly directed to the fact that we have arrived at the critical period in the production of cotton in 1922 when the utmost at tention is necessary to keep the plant fruiting and to reduce the weevil In festation as much as possible. Farm ers who are poisoning are urged to follow the directions laid down for this work with great care, and to make the different poison applications at the intervals recommended just as nearly as possible, weather permit ting. Attention is directed to the fact that because -of the showery and isoist weathg conditions in many sec tions of theestate, the characteristic open d yelowing of the punc O. Ce of the weevflMfol'dld s11g weather conditlons the punctu ed uares remai green and kee al shape for a much longi period than under dry weather cond tions. At this time there are still sent I as boll weevils a number of tnsec which however are other kinds. Ala inany squares are sent In with hol bored into them, either by the bc worm or the cotton square bore f'urthermiore, there is considerab shedding on many farms, due apps ently in some cases to excessive w weather, while in other Instances ha attributed to a lack of fertilizil elements. In some sections the rail - p.ave retarded cultivation. An exan niation of many of these fallen for! Ishows that upwards of 40 to 50 p tent were squares and the balan young bolls, and in some instanc the great majority of the squares a boils showed no weevil injury. The general outlook Is that. w: Iaverable weather conditions, ci tnued cultivation, and intellige poisoning, the infestation ean be a~ down in moot of the fields 'until t dipersion period. It is repeated that frequent shall< cultivation should be continued in gdg to hoop the plant in vigorous ca 4on and continued fruiting; a thst where cheap labor and. proj eqpervision are available, thorou and systemate square picking in u od every five days for the next s urni wees, with special attention oollecting the punctered squares the plant as well as these on ground.
