COTTON—
(Continued From Page One)
where there is no poisoning,
will hatch out a new (second)
generation of weevils which
will have no place to go but
back to the younger cotton. And
so the vicious circle goes, round
and round.
Any farmer who has succeed-
ed in getting early stands pro-
bably has a weevil-destroyed
crop of squares; yes enough to
cover the fields of young cotton
for miles around.

WITHROWS
There Is A Remedy
It so happens that a certain
farmer in this area has one acre
of old cotton which has been
riddled, already, by the boll
weevils. He lias enough punct-
ured squares on the ground, un-
der the stalks, to hatch enough
weevils to destroy another field
of his young cotton (18 acres)
nearby. He will probably have
plenty weevils for his neighbors,
too. But this certain farmer
doesn’t seem to think its worth-
while to try control measures
In his one-acre patch.
It is now too late to kill the
overwintered weevils that were
puncturing the squares. They
are already dying out. The Job
to be done now is to kill the
new weevils as they hatch from
the punctured squares.
Dr. C. M. Meadows, Entomo-
logist from Waco, says It will
take V2 gallon per acre of two
and one (Toxaphene — (DDT)
cotton poison mixture, applied
every five days, in three appli-
cations to kill all the young
weevils as they hatch from the
squares.
The first application of V2
gallon poison should be applied,
says Dr. Meadow, about July
8th. The second application,
July 13th and the third time,
July 18, using Vi gallon of poi-
son each go-round. It will take
three g-3 nozzles to the row,
operated at 60 pounds pressure,
and a tractor speed of four
miles per hour. The mixture,
per acre, should be Vi gallon
poison and 6V3 gallon water. A
50 gallon drum with 3 Vi gallons
poison and 46V2 gallons water,
if run at the above speed and
pressure', will properly poison
seven acres cotton if the noz-
zles are held nine to twelve
inches above the plants, with
the wind under ten miles per
hour.
Get Young Cotton Fruiting
Dr. Meadows and C. R. Pa-
rencia, USDA Entomologist,
say it is important to get the
young cotton fruiting and keep
it fruiting as soon as it gets old
enough. Since farmers with late
cotton don’t have to worry
about boll weevils, unless they
come from older cotton, they
will only have to fight off cot-
ton fleahoppers and possibly
boll worms. If fleahoppers do
go from the goat weeds and
horsemint to cotton, It will take
one pint per acre of poison put
on twice, six days apart; using
one nozzle to the row. Use three
gallons poison (two and one)
and enough water to fill 50
gallon drum. This should cover
20 acres where one nozzle is
used.
