Ten to 15 pounds per acre are required for each application, dust ing repeated in four to six days, if necessary. When it is necessary to treat for the boll weevil at the same time, the sulphur may be mixed with calcium arsenate, and applied as for boll weevil control, according to Mr. Lutken. About eight pounds of sulphur to four pounds of cal cium arsenate is sufficient per acre. Cultural methods are of great value in controlling this pest. Crot on and evening primrose should be destroyed whenever found about the cotton field. Cotton plants and any croton and evening primroso left over should be plowed under during the fall and winter. This will destroy the overwintering host plants and the eggs of the insect. Clean culture will materially de in and near McCormick. mendous garden gloves which had ... _ to be worn by the losers.
