"Whether or not the boll worn!
can be successfully controlled by
poisoning when properly done Is
clearly shown by results gotten by
Mr. A. B. McKerley of the Ml Cal
vary section. With about tlx* hun
dred pou’ids of 10-4-4 fertiliser to
the acre he made sixteen hundred
forty-two pounds of lint cotton on
three acres.
Mr. McKerley used a flour sack to
dust calcium arsenate early and
later used a hand dust gun. On
other fields he hah syrup arsenate
and water used, but did not make
any thing like the amount of cotton
that he made where he dusted.
“My experience shows that two or
three applications of dust can be
effectively used and will delay the
time when general dusting will be
necessary. This early dust may be
applied with a piece of cheese cloth
or thin flour sack tied to a syrup
can with the bottom out, or better
still with a small machine that will
apply small amounts of the dust.
“First fight dusting should be ap
plied just about the time the first
squares are large enough to be
punctured, followed by one or two
rpore after waiting six to eight
tfay*. Att itefrt must he applied when
its still and -better when dew is fall
ing. Therefqre, your work must be
done late in the afternoon at night
and eariy in the morning before the
dew dries.
“Any further information con-
c«ming the poisoning of tkx. woovil
buying of arsenate, and machinery
may be' gotten from me by seeing
