NEW WEEVIL CONTROL
METHOD IS DESCRIBED!
FLORIDA CLAIM IS THAT 90 PER CENT. OR OVER OF NORMAL
CROP IS ASSURED BY STRIPPING AND BURNING EARLIEST
SQUARES AND THEN APPLYING POISON.
That 90 per cent, or more of a nor
mal crop may be insured to the Flor
ida grower of' upland cotton! is the
clqiin made in behalf of the method
of boll weevil control worked out by
the agricultural experiment station
«»f the University of Florida, accord
ing to the preliminary' report of Doc
tor Wilmon Newell, director of the
station staff. A bulletin on the sub
ject has just been issued, following
^te . brief, announcement, from tht*
university at Gainesville, Fla., pub
lished recently. Dr. Newell says for
the method that “on poor soils and
good, in fields with fertilizer and
those without, the treated fields pro
duced practically as much Cotton ss
f there had been no boll weevil,
while untreated fields—usually only
s few hundred feet from the treated
fields—produced insufficient cotton
to pay for seed and cultivaUon.**

hide and on which to feed, the wee
vil must necessarily turn to the ter
minal or growing bud of tite plant
for food. It is very easy to literally
fill this terminal bud with a suitable
poison by means of a good dust gun.
44 At this time, also, the overwinter
ed weevils have only a few more days
to live* and their instinct to survive
urges them to feed liberally. The
application of the poison to the ter
minal buds at this st^sge has been
followed, in* all our experiments, by
the destruction of practically »very
weevil that escaped capture in the
stripping operation.
“If the stripping is done about
June 6 to 8 .the number of weevils
still remaining in winter quarters.

As far as Barnwell Couuty is con-
dferned, American Education Week
will be more than nominally an Ed
ucation Week. A meeting bas been
arranged for nearly every school dis
trict in Barnwell County by the
County Committee appointed by the
State Citizens Educational Confer
ence. In a few cases, two or three
school districts have been grouped
and only one meetipg will be held
for the consolidated territory. In
order to cover the county, it will bw
necessary to have three meetings
each night during the week, begin
ning with Monday night, December
4th. The Committee has requested
every minister of all denominat'ona
who occupy their pulpits Sunday.
December 3rd. to preach upon the
rubjoct of Education. Throe speak
ers will make up the program for
each of the meetings. Two of these
speakers will £e BarnweQ County
folk and the third will bo a visiting
educator.

Plan for Weevil Control.
Recommendations of conference held Saturday at the State House
on call of Governor Harvey:
Destroy the weevils’ winter quarters by plowing under cotton and
corn stalks and by cleaning terraces, ditch banks snd other trash on
theNarm.
Prepare land early and thoroughly. Plant best seed of approved
varieties. Among the'best varieties are Lightning Express, Cleve
land Big Boll, Delta Type and (on wilt infested land) Dixie Triumph.
Use fertilizer sufficient, such as would mak.? a hale of cotton per
acre in-an average season without the presence of the weevil. This
will vary on individual farmi. -Make applications of soda early, be
fore, the first blooms appear.
Plant as soon as g-ound is warm. All cotton in a given communi
ty should be planted at about the same time (from the first to the
middle of April). ^ '
^ Practice frequent shallow cultivation to keep up fruiting* Practice
thick spacing.
Prac tice early aqukre pickraTtf cheap u. Available. Thu

Following my article on the ur
gent necessity of immediate action
I of the proper officials of South Caro
lina to secure a sufficient quantity
of calcium arsenate for the cotton
crop of 1923, published in your issue
of November 21, I desire to make a
suggestion as to the best way, in my
opinion, to meet the situation.
Our legislature at its next meet
ing should make an appropriation of
not less than $r>0,006 with which to
create a revolving fund >vith WKTch
to purchase calcium arsenate during
the summer, or any other period,
when they can get it .cheapest and
si-H to the farmers during the crop
season of the following year, at cost;
the price paid by the farmers to be
put hack into the state treasury .to
be used again the next year. Under
this method of handling, the appro
priation becomes a revolving fund to
be used jear after year until the ne
cessity for the use of ralrlmu arsen
ate has passed. ^ ...
I have no hope* of getting the ju*
tionaf gwerfiiner.t to ait for th.
tretiod of the cotton groarers f *r
several reasons which are not noce<»
**ry to raratum Therefore, tt i* n?
ing this deal before the legislature
makes the appropriation with whi< a
to pay for the arsenate; then get oe-
hind the legislature and see that
they do make the appropriation.
Fifty thousand dollars of the taxes
of. the .people could not be appropri
ated for a better cause.
Mr. Editor, I would like to hear
from every member of the House
and Senate at once as to whether or
not they will promise to vote for this
appropriation. If they will' then the
meeting of bankers, merchants, busi
ness men and farmers above men
tioned will have easy sailing. This
procedure, in my opinion .will solve
the problem. I can’t think of any
other that will. R. M. Mixson. -
