FRIDAY JUNE 29. 1928 THE SPRINGFIELD WAR ON WEEVIL WINNING EXHIBITS AT WOMAN'S TOWN CLUB FLOWER SHOW ARE PICTURED PAYS FARMERS BIG DIVIDENDS Profit of 200 Per Cent Reported by Some Gotton Growers of the South. AUBURN Ala., June For each dollar cotton farmer spends poisoning boll weevils properly he may expect as an average, two or three dollars in return. This is the conclusion drawn from three experiments on as many soil divisions of Alabama conducted during the last four years by the department of entomology of the state colege of agriculture. On the sandy loam soil of the experiment station here the per acre yield of seed cotton was increased 260 pounds by poisoning boll weevils with calcium arsenate This is the four year average. The same increase was obtained on Houston clay soil in Lee County, while an of 231 pounds was obtained on Cecil clay land in Montgomery County The cost of poisoning per acre for season was $725. which paid for the calcium arsenate the machinery for applying it, and labor. Machinery was valued at $2 per acre per year Based upon market prices of seed cotton during these four years, the increase was almost three times the cost of the poison. The experiment revealed that where very little fertilizer is used and other conditions are such as to produce very small yields under favorable conditions, poisoning probably will not pay This fact was brought out by test on poor land with no fertilizer Where normal amount of fertilizer was applied poisoning was very unprofitable Poisoning began each year when Investigation revealed that 10 per cent of the squares in the field or on plot had been punctured The first application was followed by two others at four or five day intervals. These three applications were known as the first series. Additional applications were applied thereafter when infestation again reached the 10 per cent mark The number of applications per season caried from three to 11. The average for one of the experiments was six and for the other two. seven. study of the results reveals that poisoning did not pay every because of unusual weather conditions one year. However, the average is very much in favor of poisoning. using dry calcium arsenate and applying it with dust gun with powder enough to apply properly It is pointed out also that the boll weevil hazard is enhanced this year because the crop is later than normal and because more fertilizer has been applied This means@that the investment has been increased Larger plant growths may be expected. and larger plants are in favor of boll weevils because they provide protection during hot and dry weather.
