Is Sweetened Poison Profitable? ___ Clemson College. June 28.?The use of sweetened poison for the boll wee- s< il is nothing new, but is nearly a J quarter of a century old, says Prof, li A. F. Conradi, chief entomologist, in t< regard to the current discussions as c to poisons. As far back as 1898, poisoned sweets were employed early c in the season applied by means of a } stick, a few drops on each cotton 1; plant. The only difference between F the concoctions of those clays and the I formula reccomended at this tinle is b in the particular materials used. Then c the principal formula consisted of mo?, iasses and paris green, or molasses c and white arsenic. One formula which C attracted particular attention, prob- b ably because of its very complicated p nature was made of molasses, paris t srreen, white arsenic, and arsenic of b lead. All of these poisons have arsen- e ic as the active ingredient, and no o one has ever been able to see why all I this array of compounds. c As the early application of sweet- t ened poison killed a certain percent- tl age of weevils, it appealed to many farmers in each state when ever the o boll weevil appeared. Each year as V new territory has been invaded by the h boll weevil and new groups of farmers v have become panicky, they have been c; in/Oino^ nihhlp at the bait en al- d most any hook that is thx*own out to A them, but so far as sweets are eon- w cerned there is no evidence that boll tl weevils have been attracted by them, b So in the course of 24 years sweeten^ ?d poison has not gained much recog- F nition though the weevil has invaded tl eleven states. In fact sweetened poi- F son has seldom paid the expenses of s: treatment and it has therefore been a generally abandoned. b Instead of any of the special poisons h now advocated by some, the use of t< calcium arsenate is stronly recommended, says Prof. Conradi, although t] calcium arsenate has no greater ar- n senic content than paris green and c white arsenic of the earlier day. Poisoning in the heavily infested, high yielding land will be of very great i< help in producing a cotton crop pro- t< vided the poisoning is done properly,' y but regardless of the amount of poi- o 3oning one intends to do, it is urged * that every farmer stand by his crop a and give it better attention than ever before. Poisoning can never be depended upon to secure a cotton crop, unless the cotton is on good land and under a system of good farm manage- ^ ?nent. js o?
