Weevil Survey
Shows Poison Is
Good Investment
The Weekly Cotton Insect Sur
vey for July 10 shows an aver
age infestation of 3 percent in
treated fields and 23 percent in
fields which have not been poison
ed this year, according to E. M.
Stallings,; County Agent.
The Farm Agent makes the
following observations and recom
mendations:
A small amount of boll worm
damage was seen in most fields.
These worms can usually be held
in check with reegular cotton
dust. If cases occur where the
boll worm continues to build up—
either use 15 lbs. cotton dust per
acre or two applications of 10 per
cent DDT dust at the rate of 10
lbs! per acre 5 days apart.
It would be advisable to con
tinue making inspections and
counts of boll weevil damage in
individual fields. Additional
treatments should be made
7 io 10 percent.
