Cotton Insects, Dry Weather Point
To Possible High Cotton Crop Loss
COLLEGE STATION (Spl.t —
Cotton insects last year destroyed
more than S62 million worth of
lint and totton seed in Texas.
They are busy now and coupled
with dry weather could make the
1954 crop an expensive one.
Last year's loss amounted to
an estimated 342.600 bales of lint
and approximately 142,600 tons
of cottonseed, says Freeman Ful-
ler, Jr., assistant extension ento-
mologist. The figures were de-
veloped by the National Cotton
Council from basic data released
earlier by the USDA, reports the
specialist.
The top “culprit in the cotton
patch" last year was the boll
weevil and was responsible for
reducing yields by an estimated
two per cent. All other cotton
insects raised the total'TOSS to
frvfe per cent for the ?tate.
A review of the figures, Fuller
says, shows that Texas Cotton
producers are doing one of the
better control Jobs in the nation.
Only California, New Mexico,
Arizona and Missouri show a
lower percentage of the crop lost
to insects.
The___loss for the
making frequent field inspec-
tions. Should infestations devel-
op (o the damaging point, contfol
measures become a must. The in-
tervals between applications and
the thoroughness of the job d-
he emphasizes become very im
portant factors in Stopping insect
outbreaks. Any recommended in
secticide, he adds. ,will give good
control if properly applied,
Finally, he suggests, farmers
may secure information on insect
identification insecticides and
their use from any Texas county
agricultural agent.
