Gives Dope On
Cotton Poison
Cotton is well on the way now
and it won't be long before
growers will be looking for insect
control measures. But it doesn't
pay to poison cotton if the insect
count isn't high enough. Take
fleahoppers, for example, C. Metz
Heald, County Agent, says if you
have less than 26 or more get out
the dusting equipment fast or the
bugs will get more than their
one bale out of seven.
Here'B how to make a count.
Start 40 or 50 feet away from
one corner of the field. If there
is a dirt road running by the
field, some of~the dust will get on
the nearest rows and fleahoppers
like the clean, juicy plants. Now
head out for the opposite corner
at the other end of the field,
checking the main stems or top
buds on the plants. That's where
the fleahoppers will be.
Count 33 buds on each side,
and 34 in the middle of the field.
That makes 100 buds all total,
and if you find 25 or more flea-
hoppers in these 100 plants, head
for the barn and drag out that
poison and dusting equipment.
If they are not there the first
time, try again in 5 to 6 days.
There may come a day when, you
will find some.
Fleahoppers can be controlled
with 10 percent chlorinated cam-
phene, 5 percent DDT, 3 percent

gamma BHC. With sulphur added
to each of these dusts, this com-
bination gives a better, much
quicker and more effective kill
than the sulphur rotenone or the
calttyum. (arsenate mixture for-
merly used.
The count is the same for boll
wesvils 25 punctured bolls in 100
samples. Walk across the field
from one corner to the opposite
corner down at the other end of
the field, pulling any squares
you want to. When you get 100
stop and count the ones with
small holes in them. If there
ar| ,25 or more with holes, then
it's time to dust at 5 day inter-
nals with calcium arsenate, 20
percent chlorinated camphene
sometimes known as toxaphene or
a mixture of 5 percent DDT and
benzene hexachloriode contain-
ing 3 psreent gamma BHC. Apply
the calcium arsenate at 7 pounds
per acre, and the others at 10
pounds per acre.
Or you can drop a card to the
Extension Service for the cir-
cular in cotton insects. It's called
C-182, "Guide for Controlling Cot-
ton Insects in Texas for 1943".
By making regular insect
counts, and poisoning when 25 or
more pests per 100 plants are
found, the cotton farmer can save
money and get more bales to the
acre, says Heald.
PHYLLOXERA—IT'S A BUG
When you see galls on pecan
leaves and twigs it's too late to do
much about it. But you can spray
now—and prevent the growth of
galls on your trees, says C. Metz
Heald, County Agent.
Here's the story: Within the
next three or four weeks galls
will show up on pecan leaves.
Certain varieties of pecans have
this trouble every year. The gall
is caused by a small gnat-like in-
sect that stings the leaf or twig
when the eggs are layed. Then
.the gall covers the young in-
sects. They get their meals from
the juices of the leaves and twigs.
Most of the time the majority if
the leaves and twigs are covered
with galls. The galls, pecan phyll-
oxera (fi-loxera) is the big name
for them, don't bother the pecan
nuts, but do the big damage by
taking the leaf and twig juices.

of the pecans.
Now is the time to spray the
trees, before the bugs lay their
eggs, when the leaves are about
half grown. The spray recipe is
one pint of nicotine sulfate, Black
Leaf 40, and three or four pounds
of cheap soap for every 100 gal-
lons of water. One spraying will
do the job, but if there is a heavy
infestation it would be well to
put one pint of Black Leaf 40
in with the pecan nut casebearer
spray.
If you don't mix the sprays,
says Heald, the pecan nut case-
bearer spray comes two or three
weeks after the gall spray.
Soaking clothes saves hot wa-
ter, work, time and wear on gar-
ments. Fifteen to twenty minutes
soaking in lukewarm water is all
that is necessary. Soaping collars,
neckbands and extra soiled spots
before soaking is a still further
saving.
