f MIL n MM 11 Bin SUMMER B, Weevil Picking. ' ft Clemson College, May 9 ?The cotB; ton boll weevil requires a long time to III come from Its winter quarters in the j|| spring and early summer. These pests |B- begin to emerge usually during the ^B latter part of March and while nearly all of them will be out by the first ^B week in June, yet there are straeciers aj|lf that will not eome out until the firsi fl week in July. They feed upon the |?K tender leaves, and the tips of the buds IB until the squares begin to form. P* Whenever weevils are present in noticeable numbers on the young cotton, it will pay to go over the field carefully once or wl-e and colle t these overwintered weevils from the buds, says Prof. A. F. Conrad, entomologist. This can b? done most economically and effectively just before the time with the utmost care, the majority of the v?Pvj]<5 may be gathered before any eggs have been laid. The weevil m?v '>killed hv crushing them when caught or by putting them in a vessel containing water with a film of kerosene over it. The collection of weevils before the squares are formed, it is. estimated, will not pay where upon thorough search less than 50 weevils per acre are found. To catch weevils from the plants, the following method is generally used: One hand is held horizontally under the tip of the plant so that when this tip is bent over with the other hand it may be readily caught. This method is based on the fact that the weevil "plays possum" and will drop to the ground like dead when disturbed. The i operator will soon learn this. A great many weevils will escape by dropping to the ground so quickly that they are not even noticed by the collector. Square Picking. Where an attempt at square picking is contemplated, the following ' should receive careful consideration. ? First, collecting should be begun t *hnnt tpn davs after the first bloom is j a seen in the field. Second, unless the ( B work is done thoroughly it is not pro- j < Stable, and this means not only that I squares must be picked from the . ground, but also those that have dried \ I on the plants, as well as those that j| show by their unnatural pale or yel- ^ s low color, or by fwing, that they are 1 % injured so that those squares hang- ] f ing on the plants may not give the we- t | evil sufficient time to come out be- < V fore the next collection. This means ? ' that collection should be made about ^ every fifth day. Fourth, the collec- , t tlon of squares should be continued ^ for at least six weeks. Fifth, the col- ' *-*?A1?? ?? on,id.id <a vsnonillv nfiviflftd ' iOCUUU U& o^uaivo ? 5VMV.M..^ daring the first few weeks of the * square forming period where weevils * have lived through the winter In large numbers. Sixth, it must not be for*gotten that under boll- weevil condi- , F tions much depends upon cultivation. The chief object is to urge the growth and fruiting of the plants as rapidly as possible. Seventh, it is estimated that it will not pay to pick weevils or squares unless low priced labor is available. Frequently this can be secured by the employment of women and children who have an interest in ^ the crop. I Those who are planning to use the calcium arsenate poisoning method I for controlling the boll weevil are diI reoted to Circular 162, TJ. S. DepartV ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. I ' C., which gives explicit Information I in the fewest words possible. f To Control Chicken Lice. _ 8odlum Fluorid Most Satisfactory.. Clemson College, May.?Poultry nee do not suck blood. They feed on portions of the feathers or on the scales of the skin. The greatest loss from lice is possibly that of young chickens, which may become infested from the mother hen, even before they become dry after leaving the egg shell. Though there are several kinds of poultry lice, they can all be controlled by the same method. Control. Sodium fluorid appears to be the most satisfactory chemical to use for the control of all kinds of poultry lice. The treatment must be thorough, and every fowl in the poultry yard must be treated, because If one infested chicken escapes, it may then be but a sort time until the entire flock is again infested. The commercial form of sodium fluorid may be obtained at most drug stores. Small amounts or "pinches" of this chemical should be placed on different parts of the body of the chicken as follows: Place the fowl on a table In an open vessel, hold the legs and wings in one hand, and with the other hand place a small pinch of the chemical next to the skin among the feathers on the head, neck each thigh, underside of spread wings, j and distribute by pushing the fingers among the feathers. One pound will treat about 100 hens. For young chicks the head, back and body are the only parts that are necessary to treat. Precautions. Wash the hands thoroughly after using chemical. It will not injure the hands, but it is frequently irritable to sores. It should of course never be taken internally. The reading farmer is the leading farmer.
