The Cotton Boll- /■ . - Worm Is Doing Some Damage CLEMSON COLLEGE. Aug. 29.— The cotton boll-worm which is doing considerable damage this season throughout the state, says M. H. Brunson, extension entomologist, may be effectively controlled by poison ing. Poisoning the cotton with calcium arsenate dust as for the boll weevil or in conjunction with the control of the boll weevil is recommended by Mr. Brunson. In areas where the cotto n has been heavily infested, deep plowing followed by discing during the late fall anl winter “months to. kill the h'bernating stages in the soil' is a veiy important control measure^ Early planting of cotton is also ef fective.
