THE TIME TO BEGIN FIGHTING THE BOLL WEEVIL Cotton Grower Urged to Watch Their Cotton Closely From Now On. Raleigh, July 23—“ The time to begin fighting the boll weevil by poisoning the cotton with calcium arsenate will soon be at hand, nnd cotton growers are strongly urged to henceforth watch their cotton closely, and when ten per cent, of the squares are found punctured, an application of dust should be made." Dr. R. W. Leib.v of the boll weevil labora tory declared in a statement issued here tonight. The ten per cent, point was reached in many cotton fields in the southern counties of the state where a full investigation Is due this year. Dr. Leib.v said he thinks, about July 20th. The entomologists of the state's ettr culio and boll weevil laboratory here are keepiny a dose watch on the de velopment of the weevil, Dr. Leib.v stated. He said they are breeding each day several hundred weevils from fallen squares' collected in cotton fields in the southern counties of the state. “These weevils,” continued Dr. Leib.v. “are the progeny of the over-wintering weevils that attacked the squares soon after the cotton began squaring in early spring. They are now emerging in numbers froth squares which have not been collected, or which have been over looked in the field. 4nd puncturing the squares very rapidly so that in some fields it .will not he Jong before ten per cent, of the be punctured. When the grower ftntrx after examining severnl hundred squares in different parts of a field should again be examined and if the infestation still runs over ten per cent, a third and fourth application should be made at intervals of five nights. A series of four applications of the dust poison when made accord ing to directions will keep the per cent age of punctured squares low and the cotton wil meanwhile mature the early and mid-season formed bolls.” The entomologists working here at the boll weevil laboratory have many pairs of weevils in cages, the females of which deposit an average of about six efifis per day in as many squares. They find that the eggs hatch between three and four days after they are laid, and that the square drops from the plant when the grub is more than half grown or abopt eleven days after the egg is placed in the square. Approximately twenty days are required at this season of the year for a grown weevil to de ye’op from the egg. Extensive poison ing experiments are also being conducted both in the laboratory and in the fiel<j, which prove beyond a doubt that the dry calcium arsenate when dusted upon the dew-moistened plants will kill the weev ils within several hours after they drink the poisoned dew. The drinking of the dew. Dr. Leiby explained, is a habit of the weevil. "Dr. Leiby stated that an appreciable number of the larger cotton planters in rile southern counties of the state are Prepared to dust to hold the weevil in check, one well known company manu facturing eotttnn dusting machinery hav ing sold 20 dusting machines in two counties. Many other cotton farmers will use mule drawn and saddle back two-row dusters, while still others will use band dnst guns." The general im pression now prevails among those who are not prepared to dust that the ento moligixts have over emphasized the pos sible duniage by the weevils this year in sections where the injury is due to be full unless precautions are taken,” Dr. Leiby stnted. “This has always been the case for the first year when the weevil is present in full force, and such mistaken farmers will have to lose a crop before they accept the advice of the entomologists.” Dr. Leiby pointed out that the ap parent lull in the activity of the weevil, is to be expected at this time of the year, but .that meanwhile many punc tured squares in the cotton fields of the southern counties of the state are quiet ly furnishing food for numerous grubs which will develop into weevils. In recent weeks. Dr. Leiby said he has not failed to find punctured squares in every cotton field he has examined, al though the owners of these fields in many instances declared that they hnd been unable to find any work of the weevils. Here and there, however, Dr. Leiby as serted, there are big cotton growers who are waiting to begin their weevil fight by dusting according to the approved methods when the time arrives.
