Bremen Farmer Controls Boll Weevil

Despite the very unfavorable weather conditions for poisoning the boll weevil last year, Mr. E. R. Tucker of Bremen reports that he was successful in the work. He had fourteen acres in cotton and poisoned three times and he averaged one half bale per acre. His neighbors made on an average of one bale to every four or six acres. Mr. Tucker used 225 pounds of calcium arsenate which cost him less than $50.00 and he states that his increased production due to poisoning was not less than two bales, or $300 above cost of poison and labor. He has poisoned for two years and says he would not attempt to grow cotton without poisoning the weevil. Mr. Tucker’s opinion is that we wait too long to begin to apply the poison. He thinks we should make the first application about the time the first squares begin to form or probably earlier.
