?>f$>tC^il> ijft ve&rd to The boll weevil
*t ?*ay be recalled that in 1913 the
of Trustees sent a commission
\ t$\-?vUdy the situation in Louisiana,
Mississippi, and Alabama, and as an
outcome of this investigation a bulletin
was published in 1918, which witn
slight revisions has been printed and
distributed off and on ever since. The
Tr?^>vs have always had a very in
tens? interest in the boll weevil situation
and wanted the latest view held
by the coilege experts.
Despite the fact that both the government
and the college have been
sendinout information through the
press, county aents, specialists, bulletins
and circulars almost every day
for several months, the statements
made by the experts to the Board of
Trustees last Tuesday are of much
pij?];c interest. In substance these
* college experts made the following
statements:
We believe that the value of early
poisoning is greatly exagerated. Such
is the testimony by the best experimenters
in Alabama, Louisiona, Mississippi,
Texas, and Oklahoma, which
states have been lonest infested with
the weevil. Reports are now being
received from farmers from all sections
of the state to the effect that
- the weevil has disappeared from
many of their fields. Some of these
fields have been poisoned with calcium
arsenate dust, some with sweet
* ened poison, and others not poisoned
at all. This emphasizes our oft repeated
statements that early poisoning
is not a material factor in boll
weevil control. The
early weevils are but the skirmishers
of the hordes of over-winWANTED
to prepare for positions nc

Teretl, weevils that continue to come
from winter-quarters from March tc
July. They keep coming out even
after the squares have begun to form
Most of these old wevils die a natural
death before square formation begins, j
j Therefore, little is gained, and often
; much lost thru neglect of other farm
i operaeions >on account of efforts tc
i
' destroy these early weevus can o< '
killed by applications of any kind of J
j arsenical poison, whether in liquid or;
: dust form This was demonstrated as
! far back as 1902.
! The weevils want squares to l'ced on
' and lay eggs in. There being no
squares early in the season, they conj
fine themselves to the buds of the
yojn cotton plant and are practically
surface feders something like the po-^
tato beeetle or the cabbage worm,
only less so. Little injury is done'
to th^ cotton plant from this feeding!
on the bud.
If all the over-wintered ' weevils
would come out at the same time, as
chickens come off the roost in the
morning, then we could r.o doubt destroy
them with profit by early poisj
oning. But when we kill hundreds
of weevils with one kind of poison or
} another in early spring, thousands are
! still in their winter-quarters ready to
come out later. By no manner of
poisoning or other control measures
yet discovered can we kill all the
weevils that are out, and the surI
^ vivors, together with those coming out
, after the squares are formed, discontinue
feeding on the cotton buds and
begin to puncture and eat the inside
of the squares and lay their eggs
there. From this time on the on^y
effective poisonin method known is
thru theh use of calcium arsenate
properly applied in dust form.

peatedly published, should be diligent- j
ly and thoroughly followed.
3. As the bulk of the cotton crop j
in South Carolina is made by share- (
croppers, the women and children
should be used to pick squares. This
should be so supervised that it is done
with real thoroughness, otherwise it
has no value whatever. Begin picking
the squares as soon as any punctured
squares fall, and pick every in- j
fested square on the round and on |
the plants every five days.
2. Practice frequent shallow cultivation
in order to prevent grass and
weeds and to keep the plant in a
healthy and vigorous condition. This
is important because it prolongs the
fruiting period and helps to preven*
shedding. The boll weevil is net in
ciined to attack the bolls if he cgn
find squares.
j 3. We realize that by l'ar the great
! majority of cotton farmers are not
l . . .
in position to use poison tms year.
and it is to these that reeoromenda'
tions 1 and 2 especially apply. Great
j progress has been made in perfecting
. ihe machinery for applying calcium
arsenate dust*. We have every righ"
! to expect that dusting machinery will
eventually be so improved as to rate
the needs of every class of cotton farmers.
For the benefit of those nvho
are using calcium arsenate dust, the
following are the4 conditions under
I which profitable results may be cx1
pected:
I
j a. On high yielding land.
! b. Where weevil infestation i;
i hevy.
I c. Under reasonably favorable
! weather conditions.
i
j d. With proper use of approved
; dusting machines.
I
j Poison only when the air is calm
and the plants are moist, using from
! five to seven pounds per acre for each
application. Use no calcium arse
nate that does not comply with federal
specification^. Because of the
[ unusual conditions tnis season, un
' first application should be made when
I the cotton begins to fruit. The second
application should be made when
\ percent of squares have been punctured.
Infestation counts should be
made frequently and can be made by
any farmer who follows the simplt
directions furnished upon application
The object is to keep the cotton thoroughly
dusted until the weevils arunder
control. If weevils should be
come sufficiently numerous to severely
injure the young bolls, or.e

two more applications late in the
season should be made. In case of
a heavy rain within twenty-four (24)
hours alter dusting", the application
should be icpeated immediately.
After all, weather conditions during
July and August will have more to do
with cotton production in South
Carolina than any poisoning program,
j If these months are hot and dry
| comparatively little weevil damagewill
be sustained regardless of what
method of poisoning was used and
.. ^ ... ^ i
even n rone is practiced. On the
other hand, if weather conditions art
adverse, poisoning with calcium arsenate
dust in strict accordance with
government specifications will, we believe,
give the largest money returns.
Later the Extension Service will begin
its annual campaign for the eariy
plowing under of stalks, the destruction
of the weveils' hibernating quarters,
the planting of winter < over
crops, and the saving and use of early
maturing varieties 01 seed. These
are most important measures in the
control of the weevil for next yc-ar.
KAKD TO PLEASE.
"People arc, indeed, hard to satisfy.
The old saying that a man would
kick, even if he had both legs cut off
is about four-thirds true.
1 met a man yesterday who las
week was complaining about so much
rain ruining the crops and who told
me that he would like to see it fair
off and stay fair for 30 days, and yesterday
h^ was complaining about it
being so dry that he was afraid crops
would suffer if we didn't have a rain

weather was a little lata in arriving,
told me that he always liked seasonable
weather, that he liked for it to
be cold when it ought to be cold ancl
hot when it ought to be hot, and yesterday
that same fellow was beefing
about it being so hot that he thought
he simply couldn't stand it, as though
hot weather in June was not to be expected
.
That seems to be the way with human
nature. "When it's hot we want
it cold, when it's cold we want it hot.
when it's wet we want it, dry and
when it's dry we want it wet.
Why will people worry and fret and
fume about things they can not con|
trol. We have to take the weather
as ii conies, whether it suits us or not,
and in these days there is no excuse
for anybody to complain about the
weaiher being hot."
