Boll Weevil
CULTIVATION GOOD WAY TO
FIGHT THE BOLL WEEVIL
--NOW IS THE TIME!
We have given the boll wee
vil considerable thought and;
attention. Only a few day;
ago, we were in Oklahoma and
talked to people that had real
experience with the weevil.
We were told there that the
first year they hail boll weevil
there, they had only a few, like
we had here last year. T h e
next year the weevil practi
cally ruined them. In one town
in particular, they had 8,000
bales of cotton the year the
weevil was light, and the next
year they had only 1,000 bales.
This convinces us that the wee
vil is very dangerous for us this
year. As far north as we are,
we believe that with a deter
mined and united effort on the
part of every# body, we can
eventually stamp out the boll
weevil in this county.
We have inquired as to the
best way to fight the weevil,
and we find that the best way
out of it is as follows:
The boll weevil, like a hous*
fly, multiplies very rapidly.
Every weevil that you kill early?
saves many litters before faU
comes. When the weevil
stings a cotton square, it depo -
its eggs in the square. If these
eggs are not destroyed it is only
a few days until there are lots
of new weevils that come from
each square. When this square'
is stung by the weevil, it will j
either fall off or die on the j
stalk. In order to get rid of
these squares that have the
eggs in them, the best way is!
to go through your cotton every
three or four days and gather
the squares off the ground and
pull the dead ones from the1
talks and burn them. You can!
use a bucket to put them in un-J
til you get enough in a bunch to
burn. One hand can pick up
from two to four acres a day.
By doing this job right, you
will keep the eggs from hatch
ing in a very great number.
This picking of the squares
\< to destroy the egg more than
anything else.
Now, as how to handle the
weevil that is already hatched!
The weevil is very much like a
potato bug or an opossum.
When you shake the stalk the
least bit, this weevil will sul!
and fall off. Therefore you
have a lot more weevil than you
think you have. You do not
see many of them because they
fall off and once they hit the|
ground you can not find them.j
One of the best ways to hold
the weevil back is to use most;
anything you can to brush the
stalk while plowing. Put a
gunny sack on the arch of your
cultivator and let it drag over
Ihe top of the stalk. Use an
extra long single tree that will
brush the stalk. If you use
this, put some old sacks around
the end, so that you will not
bruise the cotton. Hang some
old rope on your hames and
let them dangle among the
limbs of the cotton. These
thing’s will cause the weevil
to turn loose and fall off. Then
you will cover him up as you
plow. The weevil cannot make
any headway if you can keep
him knocked off and keep cov
ering him up with dirt. Keep
up this plowing every three
days, and keep the squares
burned as they dry or fall off,
and you will make cotton. You
need not plow deep, just use
a big sweep and one furrow
to a row will do the work. The
main idea is to plow' often, not
later than every three or four
days—keep it up. In Jeffer
son county last year one man
that did this made three quar
ters of a bale to the acre, while
the man right next to him that
did not try to fight the weevil
made nothing. The boll wee
\il cannot stand dust or dirt.
A strip along the road where
dust from cars and wagons
keep the cotton covered will
make good cotton while fur
ther out in the same patch
there will be nothing made.
This shows that they do not
like the dust.
You hear some talk of spray
ing. Spraying is good, but ex
pensive and we think should be
used as a last, resort.
If this country gets where it
cannot raise cotton, we would
like to know what is going to
become of us. This is a seri
ous situation, and let us all pull
together.
