On Increase Following Extensive Ra
Since rains have come to this
area, it is likely that boll weevil
activity will increase, according
to County Farm Agent Joe Koo
nce, Jr. Each cotton grower is
urged to check his fileds and
promptly treat each field as the
population of boll weevils neari
or rises above the IS percent fi
gure. Indications are that there
will be a wide variation in the
weevil population from field to
field and county to county. There
fore, it is important that each
grower "stay up" en the situa
tion in each field. Treatments
should begin promptly as the
percentage of square infestation
approaches percent and should
be applied at five day intervals.
Red spider, or mite, popula
tions seem to be on the increase
and treatments may be needed
in some fields. If mites or red
spiders are causing defoliation
of entire plants er stunting ter
minal growth in ene or more
spots in the field, it will no doubt
pay to treat the whole field. Tri
thion is available in most of the
cotton counties. A single applica
