Florence, July 20. *Thu Govern ment and State laboratory at Flor ence, South Carolina, has field experi ments going i?? Chester, Kershaw, Lexington, Lee, Florence, Darlington, Barnwell, Dillon and Dorchester coun ties, in which we are testing out fair and impart iallly all of tin- most prominent methods for directly con trolling the boJJ weevil, says Dr. N. K. Winters, head of the lioll Weevil Control Division of Clemson College, and the United States Department of Agriculture, in n statement outlining the plana *?ud purposes of the work. These ex periment s, he explained, are being carried* on in cooperation with farmers on their farms, and are care fully checked, up daily by our men who are living with these plants. The fields are selected and laid, out with, reference to uniformity regard ing nearness to* hibernation quarters, infestation, soil conditions, and all other factors that may effect cotton production, for it in realized that all factors other than ' the treatments tested, should be as nearly equal as possible. Careful notes are taken ev ery week on percentage of stand, In festation, bloom counts, form counts, boll counts, and finally, yields of seed cotton will Ite carefully checked. Honest Work. No amount of time and energy is being spared by Dr. Winters and his staff to make these experiments per fectly faif* to all treatments being tested. The home mixture of calcium arsenate, molasses and water, the Florida Method, Hill's Mixture, dry dust, various combinations of these, 'and other treatments are being ! studied, and all these treatments are carefully compared with large plats which receive no treatment. All of the Meld plats are one acre or more in size, and all of these large field plats have around them treated cot ton as buffers against ' the natural movement of the boll wevil. A total of about 200 acres are in this kind of "work this year. In addition to this, about 75 acres are devoted to experi mental work in the vicinity of Clem son College, which duplicates a great deal of the work cavriAd on from Florence. In addition to this, 20 acres on the station at Florence are devoted to experiments with various cultural and fertilizer treatments for cotton production under boll weevil coml.it ions. Cage Work. As a supplement to field work, forty large field cages are used in testing out various poisons as to their effect on the boll weevil. This work gives Valuable indications and suggestions as to how best to proceed with field work. Cage work, to be of any value, must be conducted in large cages ? where the weevils are free to go and come as they please, imitating field conditions as nearly as possible. Searching For Truth. "As investigators in this work, we are searching for the truth," says Dr. Winters, "and we have no precon ceived ideas as to what method or \<-hat material may finally prove to be the most economical and best for helping to control the boll weevil. We are working with fairness to all, and with special privileges to none. Hill'.? Mixture may prove to be the best; the home mixture may prove to b-.> the best; dust may prove to be the best; or some combination of these as we are trying them out this year, may prove to be the best; or some method or material not now under consideration by us. may prove to bo the bi*st.?>. have the interest of two million cotton farmers in the South at heart, and shall spare no amount of time and energy in helping to solve j this all-absorbing boll weevil prob i lem. And in doing this work, we invite ! constructive criticism and valuable j suggestions which may be offered by ! any citizen who is interested in the | progress of the South." i Does Hill's Mixture or Bruce's Boll Weevil Exterminator Attract the Cottorl Boll Weevil? Florence. July 14. ? Certain mix tures are l>eing sold, advertised or announced as having a special at traction for the boll weevil. Hill's Mixture, which contains molasses, water and calcium arsenate, and is also claimed to have a "secret" to attract the boll weevil, has been wide ly advertised and sold, based on the statement regarding its attractiveness for the weevil and Bruce's Boll Wee vil Extermination which also contains molasses, calcium arsenate and water is claimed to contain a substance which attracts the boll weevil. "We have carried out two series of experiments here at Florence, cov ering a poriod of eight days, in a sincere and honest effort to determine whether or not these mixtures' at- ? tract the- boll weevil," says Dr. N. E. Winters, head of the Boil Wevil Lab oratory of Clemaon College and the United States Department of Agri culture situated here. "The result# indicate that with ov >r-wintered weevils, neither Hill's Mixture nor Bruce's Exterminator ihows any more attraction than the tome mixture of Calcium arsenate, molasses and water; and I believe, 4t this time, no one claims even, that -he home mixture has any special attraction for the weevil. All of thejo mixtures will kill boll weevils if wee vils eat them, because they all con lain calcium arsenate, and arsenic in iiny form will kill boll weevils if they sat it. - "VVe have used large screen cages, four feet square and four feet high, placed over two cotton plants grow ing out in the field, and have intro duced 80 lively weevils in each cage," added l>r. Winters, explaining the tests. "These weevils are introduced in . glass tumblers on wet sand, and only those that are lively and full of pep and fly out of the tumblers are counted in the test. Each morning, the dead weevils are removed f r Am the cages and newj weevils are intro duced to bring the number up to 30 Bftch morning * Result of Cage Studies. "Four different conditions are studied in these series Plants re ceiving no treatment, plants treated1 with Bruce's Boll Weevil Extermina tor, plants treated with Hill's Mix ture, and plants treated with the home mixture. Three drops of each prepa ration are applied to each plant, one drop to a leaf, and the applications : are renewed each morning.
