Much Damage fey Boll Weevils Unless cotton is dusted now or favorable hot, weathter, the boll wee vil infestation is bound to 'seriously damage this year’s cotton crop in Laurens countty. 4 Reports on Tegular checked farms this spring the past week showed that farm number one had eleven per cent infestation with thirteen per cent the week before following ] five applications of sweet poison, j Farm dumber two showed three per cent infestation .with four per cent the week before following three applications .of sweet poison. Farm] number three had six per cent in festation with five per cent the week, before following two applications of sweet poison. Farm number four had four per cept infestation with five per cent the week before fol lowing three application. Farm* number five with 32 per cent infesta tion with 18 per cent the week be fore following two applications of sweet poison. Farm number six wtih 20 per cent infestation and dead weevils found in field following third application of sweet poison. No check on the farm the week.before due to rain. Farm number seven using "commercial mix showed 15 per cent infestation following three applications with 600 live weevils per acre the week before. In check ing infestation here and there ,over the county the past week showed some fields ran as high as 59 per cent infestation. Most cotton in the county has pass ed the stage for applying sweet poison; .dusting is the only practical weevil control. According, to rec ommendations of Entomologists of Clemson College Extension Service, Calcium Arsenate dust should be applied to cotton where there is a tetn per cent infestation at the rate of two to three pounds per acre or when mixed on a 50-50 basis with lime, four to six pounds' per acre. By mixing Calcium Arsenate [with lime, using equal parts, aidfift in getting a good dust coverage with— iout using large amounts of Calcium Arsenate which is damaging to the soil 'if over used. I Recommend at least two to three applications five to six days apart, applied late in afternoon or early in morning while the air is still and plants moistened with dew. Care should be taken to not dust near pastures or commercial 1 peach or chards when the Calcium Arsenate will drift due to burning peach leaves and poisoning livestock pas tures. iPENCIL SHARPENERS —Automatic I Giant, fits any size pencil.
