TWO IMPORTANT SOUTH CAROLINA INSECT PESTS
The Fly?One of the Greatest Eneml es to the Health of a Community.
Clemson College, S. C.?The Mexi
can cotton boll weevil made an jinu
sual advance across Georgia during
the last two years, due probably to
the high winds. At the close of tin
season hist fall the insect had reached
the Savannah river atul we may ex* !
poet an invasion of South Carolina
during 1!?17 Ordinarily it requires .
about three years from the date of its
first appearance until the pest reaches '
its maximum numbers. which still
leaves a good opportunity for South
Carolina to study and prepare for the '
situation that is to confront it. It is
a mistake to regard the matter lightly
because it is absolutely certain that
the weevil is coming and the climatic
conditions of South Carolina are such
that probably greater efforts are re
quired than in many localities in other
states to produce a cotton crop under
weevil conditions. To produce cotton .
after the weevil has become thorough
ly established requires the best farm
ing of one kind or another.
The crop becoming an uncertainty
under weevil conditions must be made
earlier. We must begin the prepara
tion of our seed bed in the fall; we f
must study the best early varieties of j
cotton best adapted to the locality and ,

learn how to keep It continually grow
I ing after It is once planted.
Whether the weevil is present or
j not no farm can And an excuse for not
; making a living for those who till it.
This Ir the first duty and requirement
of any farm. After the home supplies
have been produced cotton should re
ceive serious consideration. Intellt*
gent fertilization In of great impor
tance but still greater Importance is
! the maintainance of the soil fertility
mainly by legume crops.
Not only cotton stalks but all other
stalks which are a part of the crop
refuse should be incorporated into the
soil In the fall and as far as possible
the land should be planted into an ef
fective cover crop to enable the land
to hold Its moisture, unused plant
food and to prevent washing. There
Is no greater agency to produce a cot
ton crop than water. This has been
demonstrated time and again in the
cotton belt since the beginning of the
weevil fight twenty-three years ago.
It is important to make a cotton
crop and yet it is more important to
maintain the health of the community
and this matter has not been given
sufficient thought as can be plainly
eeen by the number of flies we allow
the right of way every d?y.
Flies are best controlled by raring
for manures, the places where they
breed fa) Haul out and spread the
manure onca a week, (b) Store the
manure in a dark shed?flies do Dot
breed in dark places, (ci Treat (lie
manure to kill the maggot ami eggs.
Where it is neceHsary to have the ma
nures exposed to flies, it may be
treated with borax, hellebore or Cal
cium Cyanamid and Acid Phosphate
a* follows:
BORAX. Powdered bontx sprinkl m1
over the manure at the rate of 2-:!
pound to 8 bushels of manure and i.'
or .'i gallons 0f water poured over the
borax-treated manure to wash th bo
rax into the manure will kill the mag
gots and keep the eggs from hatch
ing. The outer edges of the manure
pile should be carefully sprinkled as
this is where the maggots congregate
for pupation.
Caution should be used in treating
manures to be employed for agricul
tural purposes, because of the injuri
ous ac tion on the plant growth of the |
excessive applications of the borax.
This is the least expensive method
where the manure is not intended for
agricultural purposes.
HELLEBORE. Powdered white
hellebore when made in a solution by
mixing one-half pound of hellebore to
10 gallons of water and sprinkled ov<v
the manure gives good results in kill
ing fly maggots. This solution can be
made up in large quantities and kept
until wanted for use. The best re
sults have been obtained by allowing
the solution to stand a few hours be
fore applying. The composition of
the manure will not be materially
changed by using the hellebore. An
imals will not be in danger when ma
nure is treated in the stables as the
poison is washed lrjto the manure.
CALCIUM CYANAMII) AND ACID
PHOSPHATE. This mixture may bo
used at the rate of four pounds Cal
cium Cyanamid, four pounds Acid
Phosphate to every eight bushels of
manure. The substances should be
mixed and spread over the manure
after which it is sprinkled with ten
gallons of water. The addition of
these materials to the manure in the
proportions given greatly increase the
value of the manure for agricultural
purposes by holding the amonia which
generally pauses off as gas in the un
treated material. This form of nitro
gen is more slowly available as plant
food than the ordinary nitrates. It
should be applied to the crop not less
than seventy to eighty days before
harvest in order that the nitrogen may
be completely utilized by that crop.
NOTE. The Calcium Cyanamid
which Is a medium for slow acting
fertilizers is handled by manufactur
ers of mixed fertilizers.
MAGGOT TRAPS. This is a simple
method to kill the fly in maggot stage
