' izi -weevil is most-active and in W t weather; We ? understand, of course, that w -i are not * telling those who have had weevils % any new thing. Yet it is well enough ife to call' attention to the fact and state ^ * that thh cotton grower must work Vj, "-'""C N iniliialrfAiielv at the the " v* ?

Those who * -2 disregard this fact must prepare for H disappointment. More than that if . i sen are not prepared, mentally or ? c wrise. to carry out the rules gov* ? trnizig the use of calcium arsenate iaithfully, better not start. But -at -U v.. . .v with thosepwho should use the dust S and whb* are prepared to do it, even though the operation is unpleasant and perhaps more or less satisfactory, if poisoning must be done when the ^ poison itself v*ll be most effective. ji Often this calls for work when the 5?* ground is muddy and the plants wet. ^ During the maximum infestation, that ? te, when the boll weevil has brought out all of his generals, brigadier geni. era Is, lieqtepaiit^- majors, J captains, IxeUtenstnfs, corporals and all ^ his reserves, poisoning should be dene g at intervals of about four days. Like H -the Germans, they have a wave sys5 tem of attack and to- meet these at-?-tacks it is necessary to poison about every fourth day for three successive I times. Tyvo applications (during favorable weather may bring the weevil-rufcder control, "and some r** farmers have made the mistake of ' * : > -? *? *?n? * '* '* supposing mat ne was out of business " and -ttaftve -proceeded to l^t &- rainy spell come and go and then to wake f wv*" * fz ^ ^ S'% r? - * * up to the realization that the weevil had keen ojo the , job a-nd had fotten In his disastrous work. During these ' rair.y spe3Is is exactly the time,'as already indicated, when the weevil is ; busiest and when he must be fought hardest. He is not only busy, but numbers increase with surprising rapidly, and even though the situa tf on had been under control a tew. days earlier?*.poiaOning'Wgain .is nec* ' ii \ v eesary, elsjr_about as hjjUch .damage " m'11 hp SQ if nn rvrticnn .of oil loo J ?* - -w -yyy * ?*V at XiaU been used. The only way .to be sure you aretright is to let . wet weather. . interfere as little as possible with poisoning: operations. Of cour as the United Sta'es department of agriculture sets fc-th in w, r&. x, ; ?# >... & recent pres|?:_ service, stat&jnerit; poisoning can rj^tr" be done duSng a pouring rain, but when the rain lets up there will be opportunity to get back in the field and get the cotton L diss'ad again. Even though some poison is lost on account of rain, exjT ; - ->/ - Ms J g.J . ^ # ViV.- ' s I perience demonstrates that the use of it under such circumstanres is suf ficiently profitable to justify it. With referenc.e to atmospheric conditions, the government says: "A calm.atmosphere is the most important thing to be considered whehn .applying calcium.. arsenate to cotton to control the boll weevil?-more important than dew or other moisture on the cotton plants. Success depends in getting, ail or the plant surface thoroughly covered with the fine particles of poison dust. The , dust comes out of the machine in a cloud and hangs in theh air for some time before settling. If the wind blows during tms time, mucn 01 .11 never settles where It is wanted but drifts beyond the cotton to other, crops or is dissipated by" the wind. It is not always possible, of course, to get a perfectly calm atmosphere at the time the dusting must be done . Nevertheless it is urged that application be made when the atmosphere is stillest * We feel justified in again warning 1 our readers that calcium arsenate is the only known successful "boll I weevil poison, that the only method of ! usin^ calcium arsenate that can be ^ecbjpimended is in the dpst form; ;and r! thatifthe only way .to apply this dtist is ) with one of the specially built calcium ! arsenate dusters. These can bet had r from.,$"2 -or* up- Apparently the one" horse duster is becoming increasingly popular. It is a machine that will handle two rows at a time with very satisfactory results and can be had for around $100. Mr. Coad in one of his .most recent statements said that j illtT IlUIliUCl \JL UUl^ 1 tY4iH.ViVU-.WV4l wtevrls in many districts where.accurate counts have been made were as plentiful on June 10 as a month later under., former conditions. With anything like normal conditions,' he sets forth, this is going to mean i*apid increase in weevil damage and! will have ?v important bearing von the progiam of calcium arsenate. ;. It should be recalled that poisoning should be started when frofh' l'O +o 15 per cent, of the squares h^ve | been punctured. Many fields have-already been found where there are i sufficient weevils to desrtoy praeti! cally all squares as they are formed. Under such conditions cotton .will, "never bloom unless the .weevils are controlledi For -these reasons the authorities say it will be necessary to poison earlier this year than ever before. Under heavy early infestation applications of poison Should be ibade as soon as'the cotton starts squaring freely, or about the time four or five squares are found to the stalk. The regular poisoning schedule should be started at that time/and -\qontiueji .'ilong the lines of;'usual recoqimendation. . ' ; _ ' When infestation reaches a point where practically all - squares are punctured the weevil begins to yearn for new worlds to conquer and begins his search. Up to the present time this movement has occurred from late / * in July to the last of August, depending on locality. Migration will probably start several weeks earlier than that this year. Therefore, poisoning will not "only be required at an earlier date than usual but later than usual on account of weevils-'from neigh> > / boring fields that h^ve not been poifc- j oned. All of this, as sun^narized-by the government experiment station, means: "Successful weevil control this year :s going to require more effort and more poison per acre than tips ever been the case in the past. t)n the other hand, wherever the land is^sufficiently fertile, t-o justify such an .-effort, there is much more assurance .. * prolxt irom the operation than is usually the case. The increase in the cost per acre brought about by increased nuinber., of applications F iecessary will be far more than com- i i';>ensate.d for by. the fkct that the! j weevil damage without poisoning will j ] be far greater than normal, and thus' j .he. margin of profit on the operationj is tremendously increased. In other [ ! -words; a? heavy weevil infestation such f | as we have this year means a greater ! I xpentiiture per a.cre for poisoning to .successfully control it, -"but if also; means a greater actual net profit in | \ dollars and cents per acre from the ! poisoning operations."
