County Farmers To Get Aid
Controlling Cotton Insects
L F. Greer, entomologist of ........, —--------------
the Bureau of Entomology and
plant Quarantine of the Waco Ex-
periment Station of USDA, is in
Van Zandt county to help local
farmers with insect control of
cotton during the growing season,
George Yates of the FHA told the
press this week.
Greer will work with the vari-
ous agricultural agents in Van
Zandt county in control of insects
on this year’s valuable cotton crop.
Included in this catagory are the
county agent, vocational agricul-
ture teachers, veterans teachers,
the FHA and the PMA.
According to Greer, demonstra-
tions will be held in various fields
of the county to show the many
types of insects, their control by
poison mixture and application.
“Farmers should look at their
cotton now and if it is being dam-
aged, emergency application of
poison should be used," Greer
said.
Greer recommends an applica-
tion of dust poison or spray poi-
son on June 6, the second applica-
tion to be applied on June 13, and
on June 20, the fourth application
should be applied. “Boll weevils
should lie out of hibernation in
the cotton fields, and they can be
killed before eggs are deposited ,
