LECTURE TO FARMERS OF THIS STATE
Foremost Scientific Farmer o the
South Tells What He is Doir.g to
Fight the Great Plague and How He
Thinks He is Succeeding.
David It. Coktr of Hartsvillc, was in
Chester Wednesday on the invitation
of the Chamber of Commerce, to tell
.of his methods of fighting the boll
weevil. His talk was of tremendous
and burning interest to the people of
the whole country. The main part of
it was as follows:
"Numerous farmers in our section j
used the inolasses poison between tho j
8th and -Oth of June. So far as 1 am
informed every one of them observed |
the same effect in the practical destruction
of all the old weevils. During
this i>orio4. however, most of the
cotton was fruiting and some squares
had already been punctured in most (
of the poisoned fields. This made it
necessary to go carefully over these
fields several times per week up to ;
date and pick up the punctured
squares. An occasional weevil has
hatched out iu these fields and here '
f v
and there a few new punctured
square* are noticed. These are being
carefully watched ior and picked up '
by the .^taimers. Every field that I
know of in our vicinity that war poi- |
soned iu> to the middle of Junt and
that ffSs had the few punctured
squares ' carefully pu ked up siuco j
poisoning began, has practically c-cajjed
weevil damage thus far. whereas
fields in which nothing has been
done td check the weevil are heavily
infest* <(? and have already suffered
serious- damage.
"The*] H'liod between Iday 24 and
May 3<r, during which the most effective
poian ing was done in our section,;
was norfher hot nor die. Tiie maximum
tediporntarc during this j-eriod
avcrageq .so 1-7 degrees; .St inches of,
rain occurred on the 23rd and 111
inches flell between the 24tn and 3<>?b.
All observers reported that where
clear trail her ensued for 3fi hours
after the npplie-o.tinn of the poisen tli<bulk
offfce weevils were killed and wc
obserx>?v the same result at a later'
date or|j^ur own farms.
Question of Cost.
"There are very great advantages of
the calcium arscnatt-molusses treatment
over the dusting method. I'ir t,
it is chc:?f>, the average cost for ma- ,
teiials wlien applied to young cotton
being about 20 cen^s per acre. Second.
it is simple. Any tenant farmer,
in fact any child who can carry a
bucket or a bottle, can successfully
applj it. Third, it does n<>! r ?juirc
night work. In fact, it is more effective
when applied in the licet of the
day. The dusting method involving
as it does the purchase 01 several dol,lai?
per acre of poison, the use of
tnoie or less expensive machinery and.
worst cf all. the application of the
dust during the night is absolutely
out of the range ol the average cotton
grower. Tlic expense of this '
method is most commonly estimated
at from to ?s per acre, whereas the ,
cost of the molasses mixture applied
.with mop or bottle four or five times
would he around SI tor materia', and
no money for labor would usually be]
AT FIGURES AND Si
CROWC
ncfccssary as the hoe force can apply j
it while not otherwise occupied."
"The jippiieatiop of the -calcium
arsenate treatment as late as July 1
may hardly be expected to destroy all
the weevils on the cotton, although it '
will probably kill a good many. Some '
of us used last year in July and Au- 1
gust a spiay consisting of 7 1-" gallons
of water, two and one-half molasses
and ten pounds of calcium arsenate.
The water was first heated,
the calcium arsenate thoroughly stirred
in and then added to the molasses.
This was strained and applied
with a barrel orchard spray pump
which contained an agitator to keep
the mixture stirred. The barrel was
placed on a cart or wagon, the outlet
pipe attached to the center of a threefourths
inch pif>o running across the j
back of the wagon and attached to a
scantling to keep it from shaking.
Five spray nozzles were inserted into
the pipe at the sain* Intervals as the
cotton rows. With this outfit two men
and two mules easily covered 10 acre j
per day.
"Wo have no cominarative tests in
adjoining plots to determine ihe relative
efficiency of the different methods
of treatment 1 >ut wo observed the
killing of a threat many weevils I?y
the*; st: ay a ml produced a good crop1
of cotton where it was used. In other
fii Ids which we dusted with calcium
arsenate ; ! night according to government
dire -tions, we also observed
the killing of many*weevils hut a s< vere
invasion of plant ii<-< dlie probably
i<> the killing of their enemies
by the calcium arsenate dust followed
these applications and destroyed a
large part ?>/ the cotton crop.
"i think ihe inop or hotiie method
can still be c fleet vel\ applied along
the northern edge o* the cotton belt,
n herever the cotton has not begun to
bloom, .\fter oxpo'imenling \wth a
number of mixtures we have come to
tine conclusion that a mixture of one
gallon of hot water in which is
thoroughly stirred two pounds of calcium
arsenate and then adebd to one
gallop of molasses is a ver\ satisfactory
mixture. I! is then .applied with
either .a small cloth mop <?r with a
bc'tlo with ..n apoiture on one end
of the eork. Two or three drops of
the- mixture are pla <d in the top hud
of the young cotton dining t!"- day
time.
To Determine Va'ue.

have done) he will probably carry bis
cotton up to about August 1 without
vtrcy seuhnts damage. If his neighbors,
have used no effective control methods,
however, their worvils begin to
migrate by the million about that time
and prevent everyone from making
any more cotton. If a universal meth...j
r . ?... l I ..1.1 1.SI1
"ci ui i/uiiu ui \? iiivii wwum i\iii ii' uu^
sill of tho weevils c;u ried from the
preceding year, were put into practice,
it would certainly postpone*the
period of saturation and migration and
would allow every farmer to produce
cotton for some time longer.
"The unanimously favorable reports
of the fanners in our section and of
many elsewhere who have tried this
method this spring can not be disI
regarded. I appeal, therefore, to the
j farmers, business men and parlicu!
larly to farm demonstration agents
and other government employees to
I at once make n thorough and impartial
investigation of this method of
control ;?nd, if convinced of its efdeienvy
as I am confident they will be,
to bend every effort to secure its universal
use next spring before the
young eolton begins to fruit and at
' fmiwut intervals as long as the
weevils continue to come out of hibernation."
