Cotton defoliation is due to
start in Bell County this week.
A boll count in Oscar Gross-
man's field Academy last week
showed 70 per cent of the bolls
open. Due to the labor shortage
a high percent of the 1959 crop
win be Harvested by strippers.
Even though some defoliation
will begin this week the bulk
of the cotton harvest will not
get started until the first part
of September.

The succesu or failure of me-
chanical harvest is dependent
upon the defoliation job. A good
job of defoliation in favorable
weather enables a nroducer to
j harvest just as high a quality
i cotton as hand pulled cotton.
Producers will have to rely
on the same defoliates which
were used last year. Arsenic
acid and Penta are the recom-
mended defoliates. Both of
these have their
and limitations.
Asenic acid is applied at the
l-ate of VA to 2 quarts per
acre mixed in about 8 gallons
of water. This material is very
toxic to man and animal and it
is very corrosive. For these
reasons precautions must be
taken to protect the applicators
and the equipment. The cost of
this material runs about $1.75
per acre.
The recommended rate for
penta is 2 quarts in 7-8 gallons
of diesel or kerosene per acre.
Penta is not poisonous with no
corrosive action. However it is
caustic which may cause burn-
ing around the nose ears and
lips of the operator. Since it is
mixed with the diesel or kero-
sene the cost goes up to about
$3.00 per acre.
The addition of 24-D' to the
defoliates aids in the control of
regrowth in the event of rain
between defoliation and har-
vest. The addition of one pint
of 24-D per acre costs about 75
cents. It is good only to control
regrowth and it will not kill
the maturing cotton. Once 24-D

SomB of the late cotton in the
tJOtmfcy has no squares jpet is i
still fruiting. The squares are
being knocked off by the boll
weevil which is heavily infest-
ed in most of the county. Jerry
Bedrich of Oscar has one field
of this late cotton which he
started weevil control measures
on last week. He is making
three applications at 6 day in-
tervals with Toxaphene-DDT.
The total cost of the weevil con
trol program will be about
$4.50 per acre. Bedrich says he
"hates to spend this much per
acre on the cotton this late in
the season however it is es
sential for the cotton to make
qny cotton."
Producer with old cotton
which has a crop of bolls will
fi'nd it unprofitable to poison
for a top crop. At the same
time poisoning of1 the late cot-
ton is necessary for it to make
cotton.
