These are the major cotton
pests in Washington County
It has been estimated that
at least 1,000 bales of cotton
are destroyed each year by
insects in Washington County.
No doubt, this is a very con-
servative guess and the figure
is probably considerably high-
er. At any rate, if we can do
something to lower this loss it
will mean a great deal to the
general economy of Washing-
ton County.
A sound cotton poisoning
.One insecticide which is
widely used in Washington Co-
unty 'is Methyl parathion. It •
definitely is one of the most
effective insecticides for pr-
actically all cotton insects.
This poison has several ad-
vantages. First, it is quick-
acting. If it remains on the'
plant for 6 to 12 hours, you
can expect a good kill of in-
sects. Second, it compares
favorably with other insects
in price. And third, very few
insects, if any, have built up _____
an immunity to this material.
The quick-acting element can
be important in showery we-
ather.
Methyl parathion also has
some disadvantages. It is a
poisonous material and should
be handled with care. Wear gl-'
oves and other protective clo-
thing when using the insecti-
cide. As it is an extremely

So, it is easy to see that a
cotton farmer has to worry
about a large number of insec-
ts during the growing season.
As soon as cotton comes up
to a stand in the spring, it is
subject to attack by thrips.
These insects are slender,
or, and average aboutone-fif-
tenth of an inch in length.
Young leaves are left ragged
and often cup-shaped by feed-
ing thrips. Silvery streaks on'
the leaves are also an indica-
tion of thrip damage.
Thrips appear on growing
plants throughout the year and .

average life span of a mated
female is about 35 days, dur-
ing which 50 eggs or more are
produced.

The cotton fleahopper at-
tacks cotton early in the sea-
son, migrating from horse-
mint and other spring weed
hosts. This insect causes a
tremendous loss to cotton.
The adult fleahopper is
about one-eighth inch long,
pale green in color, and is
oval-shaped. The egg-to-ad-
ult stage requires 20 to 24
days.
The adults and nymphs at-
tack young squares causing
excessive blasting and shed-
ding. There is a reduction in
the number of fruiting bran-
ches and this results in a tall
whip-like growth .of the main
stem.
Very seldom does a fleahop-
per damage squares which are
larger than the head of a

sed the Rio Grande in Br-

that time has destroyed mif-
lions of bales of cotton in Te-
a x ant WiS probably the most
destructive cotton pest In Wa-
shington County.
The boll weevil hibernates
or passes the winter in wo-
ods trash, grass, cotton st-
alks and other crop debris.
This is why extremely heavy
infestations of weevils may
be found in fields bordering
woody areas, -
Early in the spring, the ov-
er-wintered weevils leave th-
eir hibernation quarters in
search of food. Egg laying
begins when the cotton sq-
uares are one-third grown.
On the average, females lay
about 100 eggs during their
life period of about 30 days.
.It is possible to have a gen-
eration of weevils in about
27 days. ’
The wages should then be re- period involved. ..

In order to successfully
control weevils, infestation
counts should be made every
week after cotton squares are
one-third grown. Poison appl-

tation. * -

Bollworms are an extre-

every year, when they do, a
cotton crop can be severely
