Do experiments so far indicate the successful development of boll weevil poisoning? Present indications are that boll weevil poisoning will rapidly develop into a very important factor in boll weevil control in heavily infested fields. | It is expected that boll weevil pois i oning will take the -place of diversified agriculture in boll weevil control Soil building will continue to be fundamental in South Carolina agriculture and it will always be necessary in boll weevil control. What is the poison expected to do? To safeguard the cotton crop in favorable weevil seasons against ruin. OUS damage, JU31 as uituaiQ o*/ic?joi Bafeguard the crop against insects and diseases but do not take the place of orchard culture. May poisoning be expected to be profitable on poor soils? Mr. Coad says: "It seems inadvisable to attempt poisoning on land which is not capable of making at least half a bale of cotton per acre in the absence of weevil injury.'* Is poisoning recommended in South Carolina in 1920? It is conservatively recommended in those coast and near-coast counties where the weevil is entering on Its third or fourth year" including the year when it first appeared. Approximately what territory is this? Beaufort, Jasper, Hampton, Charleston, Colleton, Barnwell Allendale, and Bamberg Counties. If tne season is very favorable severe damage may be expected in Orangeburg and Calhoun Counties and also in Dorchester, Berkeley, Williamsburg, Georgetown and Horry Counties where the weevil made its first appearance last season. The weeVil as a rule does not become very serious the season of its first appearance. In what sections is poisoning not recommended in 1920.? In the middle, eastern and northern parts of the State, because the injury in 1920 is not expected to be sufficiently severe to wararnt it. What is the poison recommended'.' Calcium arsenate, also known as cal-arsenate and arsenate of lime. Where can calcium arsenate be purchased? From any reliable source; but it should not be used until full assurance hnc been obtained that it con forms to the Government specifications. The U. S. Government analyzes samples free, and instructions for sending samples' are furnished upon request. What kind of dusting machine may be used? No dusting machine is recommended for South Carolina that has not the approval of the If. S. Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, La. That laboratory has ha<i the most experience ana is in the best position to advise. The three types of dusting machines are hand dusters, wheel traction or cart dusters, and power dusters. The hand dusters, while a valuable tool on the farm for dusting poison on a small scale for potato beetle and other leaf-eating insects, is very laborious to operate for a continuous period and its use on &".v scale in boll weevil poisoning is attended with considerable difficulty. The power dusters have proved undesirable and will probably be entirely supplanted by the wheel traction machine. The wheel traction machine seems to be the most satisfactory type. . When should poisoning begin and when and how often repeated? As a starting point in this state in 1920, it is recommended that poisoning begin when the infestation has leached 15 per cent or 20 per cent. Poison three times, five days apart. If necessary make furthei applications to hold infestation to 25 per cent. The infestation count should be made according to the standard method, directions for which will be sent upon request. Beginners will require about seven pounds of calcium arsenate to cover an acre, experienced men about five pounds. Has the boll weevil poisoning metli od yet passed the experimental stage in South Carolina? No. Whoever poisons in South Carolina in 1920 must remember that he is experimenting, and should bad results be secured he should not become discouraged, because many i mistakes will undoubtedly be made. [After this season we will know more about it. What are the most important precautions to be observed in poisoning? Poisoning should not be undertaken in 1920 except on heavily infested land which would produce half a bale per acre in the entire absence of weevil injury. Before you use your calcium arsenate be sure that it conforms to the Rovprnment snecifications. Be sure that you have an approved dusting machine. Some dusting machines are not satisfactory for this work. Do not undertake more than you are absolutely sure you can handle thoroughly. Do not miss or handle haphazardly a single step in the recommendations or you may court entire failure. 9 Where approved hand dusting machines are used, it is suggested that the beginner plan on five acres per machine unless he has plenty of good labor so that he can rotate several good men op one machine. At mis stage or development puusoning is a serious, complicated and laborious operation, and unless one is able to prepare properly before beginning poisoning, and unless he is piepared to give it the attention it requires, he should not undertake poisoning in 1920.
