Notebook

Spring time is a good time to
begin poisoning 'the ‘.Texas Har-
vester Ant” (Red Ant). This ant
is very common in San Patricio
and Aransas Counties, it destroys
many kinds of plants and collects
and stores seeds such as clover,
small grains, grasses and bind-
weed. Red ants also pit pastures
and farm land with hundreds of
hills, sting livestock, I’educe amount
of grazing, and consequently cut
beef and milk production. Several
hundred acres of land in San Pat-
ricio and Aransas Counties are out
of production because of red ants.
The red ant can be controlled,
but it will usually take more than
one treatment. Don’t poison once
and forget it. Ants don’t give up
easily. Frequently they will make
new entrances to the side of poison-
ed holes. The time it will take to
completely eradicate a hill will de-
pend on the size of hills and beds.
A small colony is much easier to
knock out than a large, well estab-
lished colony which is difficult to
control due to a vast network of
tunnels.
Heptachlor is one of several re-
commended insecticides. A 25 per-
cent wettable powder is economical
and should be prepared as follows:
2 ounces (4 tablespoons) per gal-
lon of water.
4 lbs. to 50 gallons of water.
One half gallon per hill is" recom-
mended. Pour 1 quart into the hole
and 1 quart on top of 'the ground
in a circle around the hole.
The cost is about 2 cents per
hill per treatment. Additional treat-
ments as needed must be made
if control is to be expected.
The 25 percent wettable Heptach-
lor is made available by 4-H clubs
and is available in the county
agent’s“office.
Weather last week was ideal for
aphid buildup and farmers should
watch closely for damage from the
insects. Both nymphs and adults
suck juices from stems and leaves
causing leaves to shrivel, stunt
plants. Aphids damage as a rule
will not kill cotton plants but dam-
age can delay maturity by as much
as two weeks.
Cutworms continue to be report-
ed in many areas of the county.
Cutworms feed primarily at night
by cutting young seedling at the
ground line. Treatment should start
when damage is first noted. Refer
to insect control guide for proper
treatment.
Previous to the rains, red spider
had shown up in some fields, but
the rain will probably have check-
ed this activity.
Growers should be on the look-
out for thrips, cotton flea hoppers
and over-wintered boll-weevil.
If you do not have a copy of
the 1959 Cotton Insect Control
Guide they are available at your
county agent’s office. Call or write
us, we will be glad to send you
a copy.
Just Noted in Passing — The
highest cotton yields in Texas (ling
lbs. per acre) were in 1958, 387
lbs. per acre; and 1866, 325 lbs.
per acre.
The lowest yield was in 1921 with
a 101 lbs. per acre.
Cotton brought the most (54.15
cents a pound) in 1863 63 and the
least (5.88 cents a pound) in Wil-
ls. The annual spot price of cotton
per pound in 1931-32 was 6.34 cents
per pound.
Small grain sorghum plants in
certain parts of the county are
being attacked by the true chinch
bugs. These insects also feed on
corn, small grains and grass and
that the early infestations are com-
ing from adults which overwinter-
ed near the field margins.
These insects may build up in
rather large numbers and migrate
from their hibernating areas in
cultivated crops. Growers are en-
couraged to inspect their fields dur-
ing the growing seasons, and, if
and when, these insects are found
in damaging numbers, control mea-
sures are recommended. Both the
adult and young chinch bugs suck
the juice from the plants. The wilt-
ing and drying out of the plants
often is the first indication that
chinch bugs are present in a field
of grain sorghum.
The chinch bug hibernates only
in the adult stage, the full-grown
insect being about 1-6 to 1-5 inch
in length, with a black body. The
white wing covers are each marked
with a triangular black patch at
the middle of their outer margins.
The legs are reddish to reddish
yellow. The insect gives off a vile
odor, when crushed, 'that is some-
what distnictive and always remem-
bered by one who has smelled it.
Better results, are genei’ally ob-
tained from the use of sprays than
from dusts. The materials which
give good control of chinch bugs
when used as a spray include DDT,
toxaphene, a DDT-toxaphene mix-
ture and dieldrin. If dusts are to
be used, DDT, toxaphene and diel-
