COUNTY AGENT URGES MOPPING OF COTTON TO DESTROY WEEVILS _ *--— Boll Weevils Make Appearance In Halifax County Farm Agent VV. O. Davis reported today that boll weevils have been found in two sections of Halifax, and is urging cotton grow ers to starp mopping now. The Pee Dee Experiment Station at Florence, S. C., Davis said, re ports 2,500 weevils for May 1941, compared to 16 for May 1940. The county farm agent recom mends the following treatment: For each acre of cotton planted, secure three pounds of calcium arsenate and three gallons of black. This will usually be sufficient to make three applications per acre. Mopping should be started when the cotton plants are approximately five to six inches high, and should be repeated at five to seven day in tervals until three applications have been made. If rain occurs within twenty-four nours after an application, that application should be repeated as soon as weather per mits. Mopping must be started just as soon as square formation starts.

She is assisted by the following Junior Woman’s Club members, Misses Eloise Hardison, Kiki Andle ton, Ernestine Bellamy, Catherine Parker, Marjorie Dickens, Margaret Wall, Elizabeth Britt, Mary Mac Clark, and Frances Hofler, who wear red, white, and blue stream ers, as they sell pins and other British emblems, and take con tributions for the relief.

Prepare the poison mixture ior mopping by adding 1 lb. of calcium arsenate to 1 gallon of water and stirring, then add 1 gallon of black stip molasses and stir until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Larger quantities may be prepared as desired, using the same propor tion as given above. Mix only the amount to be used each day. Stir the mixture frequently. Apply the poison mixture with a home made hand mop or with an approved mopping machine. The home made hand mop can be made by tying a piece of cloth or sack io one end of a light board, three to five feet long, and about three inches wide. Six inches of the mop cut into strips about one inch wide should be left hanging over the end of the board handle. Each operator must have a mop and small bucket in which to carry poison mixture. Dip the mop into the bucket of poison mixture until thoroughly wet, then wipe the mop on the edge of the bucket to remove surplus mixture. Hold the mop directly forward so that it pushes through the top of the young cotton plants. Walk at an ordinary pace, stop ping each time it is necessary to dip the mop into the mixture.
