Dr. DeLoach Speaka On BoM Weevi! Control Farmer from (ieorgia and Aiabama Gives Method He Uses 4a Raising 1200 Acres of Cotton—A Simpie Remedy With LitHe Coat.. Dr. R. J. H. DeLoach, former head of the Georgia department of agri cuiture and now a iarge farmer of Georgia and Aiabama and an expert on the subject of boii weeviis, spoke to a group of farmers in the court house here Thursday afternoon on boii weevil controi. Dr. DeLoach gave the method em ployed on his farms, on which 1200 acres of cotton are raised with good resuits each year in spite of boii weevii conditions and said that this was aiso the method advocated by the department of agriculture of the southern states. He stated that boii weevii controi was about five times as easy as peopie thought it was and that it was not expensive if gone at in the right way. Hite pian is to to begin with the use of calcium ar senate, either in the dry or iiquid form, as soon as the first forms ap pear on the cotton and there is aiso present in the field as many as ten per cent as many weeviis as there are squares on the cotton, The first week approximately four pounds of caicium arsenate per acre is pat on the cot ton, to be foiiowed in another week by another aplication of five pounds and the third week by six pounds, making a totai of fifteen pounds of the poison per acre. These applica tions kiii the winter weevil and pre vent the iaying of eggs. The author ity urged that the caicium arsenate be put on the cotton very carefuiiy so that every singie staik of cotton in the fieid gets some of the poison. While these applications are being put on, Dr. Deloach said the f*Heq forms, oniy a few to the acre, should be picked up and burned, and then the farmer is bothered no more with fighting the weevil during the sum mer. The cost of this whole process, he said, ranged from $1.85 to $2.00 per acre. When questioned about the neces sity of putting on the poison at night, Dr. DeLoach said that such a prac tice was not necessary. He also said the rains interfere but venr litti* and that there Was no use % gomg over the cotton With another application after a rain. He urged, However, that in fighting the weevii the farmers go at it whoie-heartediy, for that was the only way to make ft worth while. The subject of fertiiizers was touched upon briefly, Dr. DeLoach ad vocating eariy appheation of aii the crop is to get. Training for a Nurse. Correspondence of The Robesonian.
