when the wind gnows and we pull

° l That bee’s sting did hurt, and it
made cousin Bruin jump and growl.
The bees W’ere tangled in his fur

in a spider’s web, which made them
grosser than ever.
Jimmy Coon and Teddy Possum
were afraid to come near or to put
anv mud on Cousin Bruin’s poor sore
eye. They were terribly afraid o
those bees.
Poor Cousin Bruin s eye was so
swollen that he could hardly see a
wink. He jumped around with the
pain and almost danced a Bear
dance Finally he ran towards the
brook, but hg could not find the way
and often hit his head against -trees
as he roared with pain.
Uncle Quilly Porcupine was ram

little animals who were afraid to go
near Cousin Bruin on account of
those angry bees, called to Uncle
Porcupine to come and help poor
Lewis Tells of Value of
New Weevil Control Method
State Entomologist A. C. Lewis and
Assistant Entomologist D. C. Warren
have just returned froir a trip to Lou
isiana and Mississippi, where they
went to investigate dusting with cal
cium arsenate for the control of the
boll weevil. Mr. Lewis reports that
much valuable information was sc
cured, which will be of great assist
ance to the department in the ex
tensive experiments they are going
to conduct this year on dusting for
the control of the boll weevil.
Prof. B. R. Coad, who has charge
of this work in Louisiana and Missis
sippi, informed them that in their plot
work conducted at Scott, Miss., in
1917, a substantial increase of seed
cotton per acre was made. They also
stated the difference between the plots
that were dusted and those that were
not, was clearly visible to the eye.
From four to six applications were
applied at intervals of one week.
At Scott, Miss., they visited the
Delta Planting and Pine Co. Plan- j
tation, cf which J. W. Fox is
general manager. In 1918 this com
pany dusted several thousand acres
of cotton, and they figured from the
eost account that the operation cost
them $7.50 per acre. As no check
plots were left, Mr. Fox could not say
just what increase was secured from
dusting. He stated, however, that on
the whole plantation last year the
average yield of cotton was 392
pounds of lint per acre. On one field
of 21 acres, where the weevil infes
tation was very heavy, they dusted
four times and made 23 bales of cot
ton.
Not Afraid of the Weevil
This plantation-will have 13 power
machines and 100 hand machines in
operation this year. They do not fig
ure on dusting more than one-third
of their acreage unless the weevil in
festation becomes heavy. I asked Mr.
Fox if he was afraid the weevil would
put them out of business. He said
he did not fear the boll weevil now,
for he believed from their experience
and from the observations he had
made elsewhere, that the weevil could
be successfuly and economically con
trolled by dusting with calcium arse
nate.
At Rosedale, Miss., they visited the
Ale ander Scott Plantation, where
last year 2,000 acres were dusted. No
cost account was kept of this work
and no checks.were left, so they could
not state exactly the increase secur
ed from dusting. Mr. Scott expressed
himself as very well satisfied with the
results, and stated he would not grow
cotton without dusting any more than
he would conduct his business with
out insurance. He estimated his gain
last year on 400 acres that were dusted
at 50 bales.
It should be remembered, however,
that in the Delta country of Missis
sippi, the conditions under which cot
ton is grown are very different from
what they are here. Their land is
rich, has the ability to produce a high
yield of cotton under normal condi
tions. They do not use any fertilizer,
and hence can afford to spend from
$7.00 to $12.00 per acre on dusting
the cotton for the control of the boll
weevil; and if they make a yield of
one-half to three-fourths of a bale per
acre, they make a profit.
It should also be remembered that
moisture seems to have a great ef
fect on the efficiency of the dust con
trolling the boll weevil. In that sec
tion the dews are heavy at night and
the air is calm. Heretofore the appli
■ations have been applied at night,
t this year, on account of the dit
ties encountered in night work,
applications will be made very
in the morning and late in the
ng.
Cousin Bruin.
Quilly Porcupine’s strong point
has never been to help other people
—not even his best friend. On this
day he did not feel as amiable as
usual, for he had had a fight with
Ranger, the big dog from the Jones’
farm the day before, so he felt sore

all over. When he saw Cousin Bruin,
though, growling and doing a bear
dance all alone without music, it
made him feel pleasanter; for he
Results Are Promising
While the results so far secured
from dusting with calcium arsenate
are very promising, the work is still
in the experimental stage. The ma
chinery for applying the dust has not
been perfected as it should be. The
amount to apply per acre, the time of
application, number of applications
and the interval between the applica
tions will all have to be worked out
more completely than they are at
present.
Another of the questions that will
require much work is whether the
calcium arsenate had better be used
alone or mixed with some carrier,
such as lime or sulphur, or both. At
present it is apparently advisable to
use the straight calcium arsenate, ap
plying it at the rate of 5 to 6 pounds
per acre, and make 4 to 6 applications,
at intervals of one week. The dust
ing should not be begun until at least
10 to 15 per cent of the squares are
infested. This should be determined
by actual count of at least 100 or
200 squares in different sections of
the field.
Anyone desiring to experiment with
dusting for the control of the boll wee
vil this season should bear in mind
that a high grade of calcium arsenate
must be used. It should conform to
the following specifications. It should
contain:
Not less than 40% Arsenic Pentox
ide,
Not more than 0.75% water solu
ble Arsenic Pentoxide,
Density not less tljan 80, or more
than 100 cu. in. per pound.
They have found that the calcium
arsenate must come up to this stand
ard in order to give satisfactory con
trol of the weevil and not injure the
! plants. Hence, anyone who purchases
I calcium arsenate should determine
that it meets the above specifications.
Advice Is to Go Slow
The State Entomologist advises the
' farmers to go slow' with this work this
'year and carry on only experimental
work on a small scale, using a hand
gun to apply the poison. It is diffi
cult to secure calcium arsenate of the
proper specifications, and it is also
almost impossible to secure power ma
chines. By conducting the work on
a small scale this year they can de
termine for themselves whether it will
pay to dust for the boll weevil in
Georgia or not. Dust the heaviest
infested field and leave check plot
of one acre so that you oan determine
when the cotton is gathered whether
you have controlled the weevil and in
creased the yield enough to pay for
the cost incurred’
The same effective control of the
boll weevil from dusting may not be
secured in Georgia even where the
same material and method of apply
ing are used. Another important faA
tor to be determined before the work
is conducted very extensively by the
average farmer, is whether enough in
crease in yield can be .secured under
Georgia conditions to make a profit
by dusting for the control of the
boll weevil.
The Board of Entomology will con
duct extensive experiments this sea
son to determine what methods and
materials will give the best results
in Georgia. They are in hopes that
by another year some definite recom
mendations can be made in regard to
controlling the boll weevil by dusting
The machinery will also be tested out
this season and no doubt many im
provements made so that more effect
ive machines for applying the dust
may be secured.'
For special advice or recommenda
tions in regard to controlling the boll
weevil, and other insects, address A
C. Lewis, State Entomologist, At
lanta, Ga. — —
liked to feel that some one else was'
as uncomfortable as he was.
Now one of Cousin Bruin's eyes
was all closed, “Ough!” said Cousin
Bruin, “it hurts just like a forest
fire! Why don’t some of you get
some mud and put it on my eye?”
“Jimmy Coon and Teddy Possum,
where are you and why don’t you
get busy?”.
And Chatterbox the Red Squirrel
called out, “They can’t go, Cousin
Bruin. They are covered with bee
stings, and they are putting on mud
plasters every 15 minutes. Uncle
Bullfrog told them that was the only
thing to do.”
“If I could only find that pond in
the brook, I could jump in, and
wash those bees off, and stick my
head in the mud and cure my eye.
Peter Rabbit, you surely have sense
enough to lead me to the water.”
Peter Rabbit at these words only
trembled with fright and scuttled
into a bramble bush.

Sting.
