BEGIN FIGHT ON WEEVIL
BY GATHERING AND BURN
ING SQUARES
"Begin now to pick up and burn
the wceyll-infested squares for present
boll weevil control," advises Prof.
Franklin Sherman. Chief In Entomo
logy for the State College Experi
ment Station and Extension Service.
"Reports from our field workers
and from students of State College
whom we have placed in boll weevil
work, and of county agenta and farm
ers-all. give evidence that the weevil
population is less than It was at this
time last year, and less than when
the plants were at the same Btage of
growth. Very few fields have been
found infested to such degree that we
would urge the use of poisons. Many
cotton growers, especially to the
northeast, have not yet found any
weevils In their fields. Weevils did
begin to appear on young cotton as
early as mid-May, but they were very
few and we have not advised the
the use of poison In such cases. Bad
we wildly urged wholesale poiaoning
at that time, or from the time the cot
ton was chopped, those who followed
such advice might have wasted from
$2 to $5 per acre by now. As It Is, the
'weevil population In most fields Is
still so slight that poisoning would
presumably not pay, and those who

have followed our advice have not ap
plied ail ounce ot poison, except In
those cases whre the weevil ws es
timated to be as numerous as 20 to
the acre or more. Very few fields
have been reported to us to have
enough weevils to pay for poisoning.
"This fortunate condition ot a very
light Infestation at the first of July,
offers a chance to employ the picking
up and burning of Infested squares
to the best possible advantage. In
many cases It may turn the scale and
greatly help the situation. Cheap labor
may be used tor this purpose, ? It is
doubtful whether full labor-prices can
be profitably paid for It. It Is a task
which can easily be performed by
children. We recommend that the
squares be gathered at least once a
week until the middle or end of July,
or until the natural shedding of young
bolls makes It Impracticable to con
tinue. Merely covering them by cul
tivatlon does not serve the purpose, ?
by all means the squares should be
gathered ahead ot cultivation, and
burned.
"II the present wet season contin
ues It Is altogether probable that by
the end ot July the weevils will be
numerous enough so that the stand
ard dust method will be profitable In
many fields, ? then those who have
wisely prepared (or this method will
have their Innings, ? but as yet they
may 'save their power.' The 'pre
square poisoning' has not been needed
in the great majority of cases, ? now
there Is the chance to employ the
square gathering with good effect. We
do not advocate any weevil traps nor
machines for gathering the squares,
Just cheap hand-labor that's all.

"We have been greatlypleased at
the large number of farmers who have
not, thiB year, ben stampeded Into
reckless expenditure of money and la
bor agaluef the very few weevils that
have thug far appeared. We have been
advising early poisoning only In case
the weevils were fairly numerous at
the time squares begin to form. This
advice was for economy, and many
hundreds of farmers now realize that
it was sensible. We thank the farm
ers for their coperation in thus keep
ing their money in their own pocketB,
or banks
"But," says Hr. Sherman," let me
repeat, that a continuation of the wet
weather will tend toward heavy dam
age by the weevil in late July and
August, ? and in that case the stand
ard dust method Is the only measure
which we can then recommend as ef
fective and profitable."
