THE HOLLOWING IS A ( LUTING 1-h‘OM THE
SAN AUGUSTINE, TEXAS, TRIHUNE:
ACALA COTTON BRINGS PREMIUM
San Augu.stine is at last coming into itu own on
(lie col ton market, due largely to about 4,0(10 acres of
Acala cotton planted here this year. This cotton is
turning out almost as well at the gins as the short
staple Half-ami Half cotton and when it is considered
that more bolls grow to the stalk ami, too, each boll
is considerably larger and heavier, the yield per acre
really is better than the llalf-and-Half, or short staple
and when it sells it brings a much better price than
the short, staple. Only this week the Acala sold for
22c on the local market when other cotton was only
bringing 211/ic.
Seven out-of-town buyers were here this week hunt-
ing our good staple that had formerly quit this market
because of the low grade and shi rt staple. One buyer
came here from Oklahoma, having heard of our Aca'a
cotton, which carries staple of 11 p, inches.
About 17(1(1 bushels of this good cotton was sold
to Ihe planters around San Augustine from which
4,(1(H) acres were planted this season and next year we
hope to report a much larger acreage to this hett”i'
staple cotion. Our market has been raised consid r
abl.v as Io base price and will take anol her decided
increase next year provided the planters us this betler
vrade of cotton. -San Aa(in»tini (T< x.) Ti ibiim .

this wore sent out t iiliiy by the State
plant board id' Ploridn detailing at
length the improved method of con-;
trolling the boll weevil as evolved by!
Dr. George D. Smith, assistant, en-
tomologist of ihe hoard,, and un-
lioun. ed Saturday night by Wilmont
Newell, director.
While expressing eontidence that
tile l-Torida growers of upland cotton
liy following tlie new method are as-
hured of at least HO per cent of a
in rinal crop, Dr Newell points out at
tlie outset that Dr. Smith's experi-
ment were made under l-Torida con-
ditions and tlie method evolved is
adapted to tlii^ state, I lit there -eems
to lie no reason "on theoretical
giounds at least" why the method
. an not successfully lie adapted to all
. i ction.s of the cotton belt.
Dr. Smith’s I’liiii.
The substance of Dr. Smith's plan ,
i. to clear tlie fields of weevil infes-
tation early in lune and then give
the staple tree growth until \llgust.
v. hen tlie annual immigration of tlie
weevil sets in The staple has
grown, however. Io such an extent by
tlii- time that liai’in from tin* weevil
then is inconsequential.
Dr. Smith recognized in tlie begin-
ning of his experiments that tlie boll
weevil could ......ffectively poisuned
before it reached the “squares" or
Hewer bracts of the plant. IBs in-
>i- tig.ilion tliKrelore had to do witll
lidding the plant oft he last ot the
over-wintering weevils which appear
Inter and deposit their eggs on the
squares.
The plan lie evolved meets this ob-
stacle by tlie simple process of re
moving the early square and then
thoroughly disinfecting tlie troll itself
witli poison. His experiments dis-
| proved the belief that removal oi the
early squares would lower the cotton
yield.
Iteinove Squares in .lune.
In this State,” the bulletin con
linues, "by removing the squares
early in .lune ami cleansing tlie boll,
tlie plant then hns almost us long u
period in which to set fruit as it en-
joyed in a normal season prior to I
the coining of tlie weevil "
At first thought." the bulletin con
tinned, "it may appear that a con-
siderable amount of cotton would be
destroyed or lost liy leniovnl of tlie
first few squares, say an average of
about two large squares to tlie plant
throughout tlie field. It has been de
termined htat tlie cotton plant nor-
mally sheds about tio per < ent of its
fruit during tlie growing season.
Therefore a loss of two squares to
the plant, on the average, would not
affect I he y iehl
Helps I'liint.
"Removal of the early squares in
our experiments was followed by a
remarkable reaction on tlie part ot
tlie plant Itself. In all cases, re-'
nioval of the squares was followed by
u rapid increase In tin* height of the
plants nnd this was closely followed
by a profuse development of new
squares. So pronounced has been
this acceleration or .stimulation of
fruiting that it seems highly probable
that, even with no weevils present,
removal of all squares early in June
would actually result In increasing
the yield of cotton."
