UNUSUAL ABUNDANCE OF BOLL WEEVILS THIS SPRING. -"By B. R. Coad and G. A. Maloney. Foi> the past few weeks we have been accumulating records on the! boll weevil for nearly all of the cotton states and are finding univerrally, I as we forecasted some months ago, that the number of over-wint *red weevils is far greater than usual; in v . fact, in many disrticts where accurate ' counts have been made it has been; found that we have in the fields now ! I as many weevils as are ordinarily j present a month later when tne first j 1 V summer-bred brood has started to ap- { ; pear. With anything like normal j weather conditions this is going to i mean a tremendously rapid increase! in the weevil damae, and this will i I have an important bearing- on. the j program to be followed by these us- < ing arsenate for the control of the i weevil . In the first place it should be re- j ? * 1 xnembered that we recommend start- j ing poisoning when from ten to fifteen per cent of the cotton square? have been punctured by the weevil. As a general rule this condition does not arise until after the newly bred weevils have started to emerge from j itqo r* AWPVPt*. ! me squares. , , have found many fields where there j are already sufficient weevils present J to destroy practically all squares as fast as formed. In other words, such cotton will never start blooming unless the weevils are controlled, and j from the very outset 50 per cent, or more of the squares are punctured. Under such conditions it is undoubtedly going to be necessary to poison ! earlier than ever before. Of course, there is no advantage in poisoning the i cotton before the squares form, a.1 j the weevils are continuing to emerge j from: hibernation during this period I and furthermore they are doing the ! crop no harm . However, where such 1 a heavy infestation occurs it will be j advisable to make the first aplication > just as soon as the cotton starts sq\iar- j ing freely, or about the time the^ v plants average from 4 to 5 squares j each. The regular poisoning sched-' ule should be started at that time and ; continued along the lines of the usual; i recommendations for controlling inn i early infestation of weevils. Another very imprtant effect of thi: J heavy infestation will be felt later in ;the season. When the weevils first emerge from hibernation and reach the cotton field they move around % very little as long^as they can find an ample supply of unpunctured squares for .their use, but just as soon as the infestation becomes sufficiently heavyr to puncture practically all Sque^s these weevils start to move in :|1 '&- tac* G ? . ?Pm f /. .-ijoT -A t <h . 34 '^Oj&fcV ?? ? ?ad * * '*- ~ ? ^ -iijf T liaj ?ffk ^ ' si mm 1' Tbe lwrtajp^ I Be Is the wtwt I X&jlfl barometer W the Be |J i ?r?kH oi any art?~ K Ui\ ' cb.

In an ordinary season this means that you usually have only the weevils bred in mtton to contend with until some time from the latter part of July to the last of August, depending on the locality. This year, however, this movement of migration of weevils wiN probably start several weeks earlier than usual- Consequently, it wil1 not only be necessary for you to start poisoning earlier to control your own infestation, but i'ou should also expect that, before you have had time to mature the fruit which your plants have set during this period of protection, you will begin to experience an immigration of weevils from unpoisoned cotton. Of course, this condition would not arise if every one in a district ,was successfully poisoning hit cotton; but this will not be the case this year, and just as soon as all squares in the unpoisoned crops are punctured the migration to the poisoned fields will commence. This means that every day a large crop of now wpAvils will move into these pois oned fiMus, and it is going to take contiuous, thorough poisoning to protect to maturity the crbp which has been allowed to serloy the earlier applications. These two facts mean just this: Successful weevil control tftis year is going to require more effort and more poison per acre than has ever been the case in the past. On the other hand where the land is sufficiently fertile to justify such an effort, there is much more assurance of profit from I the operation than is usually the case. The increase in the cost per acre brought about by the increased number of applications necessary will be far more than c6mpensated for by the fact that the weevil damage withoul poisoning will be far greater than normal, and thus the margin of profit or the operation is tremendously im creased. In other words, a heavj weevil infestation such as we havt this year means a greater expenditure per acre for poisoning to succesrunj control it, but it also means a greater 'actual net profit in dollars and cent! per acre from the poisoning opera tions. i <m i - ? 100-POUND RAIL ADOPTED FOR SOUTHERN MAIN LINE' i Washington, D.

The Tobacco Growers' Cooperative Association now has a warehouse property in every market of South Carolina. The thirty million dollar loan to the , Association approved last week by > the War Finance Corporation means that all members of the Cooperative Association will receive liberal cash advances when they deliver tobacco to the Association warehouses in July, and be enabled to borrow money on , their participation receipts. Hundreds of farmers who averaged eleven cents a pound for their tobacco , last year are joining the Association . every week. , "We urge all members to choose their market and guarantee that all i -n Accnniatinn will re k J V > V Vi X O AAA V **?wwawv?v*? ? - - - ? ? .

Conversion. "There lives in my town," .said a Southern man, "a country preachei who became aware that he had offended many of his parishioners by advocating the closing of a certain right of way the public had been accustomed to use; but the preacher never knew how seriously he offended them until he had a talk with a person who had 'got religion' at a revival meeting held some time before . " 'You want to know exactly what the folks up my \va yare saying of you?' asked the parishioner. " 'Yes.' " 'I am sorry that I can't oblige you,' was the response. 'It's a pity you didn't ask me before I got con-j verted.' " Radios Doing It.. . 'What became of that plan they had for taking nitrogen out of the air? Didn't it succeed?" asked Blinks.
