Boll Weevil Threat Is Great This Year "Total preparedness" to control the boll weevils is recommended to cotton farmers by J. O Row ell, Ex tension entomologist of N. C State College. He reports that large num bers of weevils survived the com paratively mild winter of 1940-41 | and emerged from hibernation this spring. There are indications that weevils will be more numerous this year than during any recent year, Row- ? ell says. The Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine of the U. S Department of Agriculture keeps a fairly close check on weevils through i the use of hibernation traps. Examining hibernation 'traps at Florence, S. C.. the Federal agency found survival of weevils at the rate of 1.960 per acre, nearly 12 times ' the number found in 1940. At Tallu iah, La., 81 per cent of the weevils placed in traps last fall were alive this spring. Where the cotton grower intends to follow a complete control program Rowell recommends early or pre square poisoning with a liquid mix ture which is applied with mops. He urges, however, that the first appli cation of the poison be delayed un til weevils occur in the field at the rate of 30 or more per acre, or one weevil to 500 plants. "Pie-square poison treatment should be started just as soon as squares begin to form," the exten sion specialist said. "This is usually when the plants are five to six inches high, and before the squares are large enough for the weevils to puncture. When the squares have de veloped to a size large enough for the weevils to feed on and lay eggs in, pre-square poison applications should cease." Rowell says pre square poisoning alone should not be relied upon to entirely control boll weevils Many weevils reach the field after the pre square poisoning in riod has passed. Post-square dusting with calcium arsenate is necessary to control late weevils Fanners in N.
