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- '

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. Do you take a good farm paper
and do you get the bulletins from
ycur agricultural college?
Increase the farm income by growing
limber on poor soils, steep
slopes, rocky lands, and unused corners.
