The grower who knows the condition of his field may perhaps not' dust at all and know that he is safe, while his less careful neighbor may dust when it isn’t needed, may then fail to dust when it is needed, and end the season with a profitless dusting expense and with a crop badly hurt by weevil also.^ TELLS HOW TO DETERMINE WHEN TO BEGIN .DUSTING . TO CONTROL BOLL WEEVIL Clemson Collge, June 25.—After the season of early or presquare poison ing, it is generally agreed, say the entomologists, that standard dust poisoning is the main reliance in fight ing the boll weevil. To* determine when to begin dusting it is safest to determine the “dusting point” of 10 percent infestation for each large field separately. In Extension Circular 95, Controll ing the Boll Weevil, Prof. Franklin Sherman, entomologist, gives a simple method, briefly as follows: With paper ar.d pencil go to four (or five) typical, well-separated points in the field, and at each point examine all fair-sized squares on plant after plant until 100 squares have been examined. Those which do not show weevil puncture leave on - the plants, but pick and put in pocket the ones which do show weevil puncture When you have thus examined 100 squares which you picked; if 7, it in dictates that 7 percent are infested at that point in the field. Put the figure on your paper. Go to the second point in the same field and repeat; perhaps here the percent will he 5. Write it down. Same at third point. At the fourth point it may be 6 percent. Com bining these findings for the four points in the field we have 7 plus 5 plus 10 plus 6, equals 28; divide 28 by 4 to get average 7 percent infestation for the field,—not yet quite to the point where dusting is necessary. As long as infestation is far be low 10 percent one may feel safe for the present; at 10 percent if will prob ably pay to dust. If one part, end or side of a field repeatedly shows higher , infestation than the rest of the field, that part may profitably be dusted when it goes above 10 percent, and af the same time save money by not dusting the remainder of' the field until it also shall reach about 10 percent. One may easily become interested in thus watdhJng the progress of in festation—how it may rise quickly with a brief rainy spell,*and subside Mrs. Angus Patterson’s BEAUTY SHOPPE PERMANENT WAVES, MARCEL WAVES, FINGER WAVES, WATER WAVES, SHAMPOOING, MANICURING, Everything for Beauty’s Aid.
