There seems to be little reasons far
the use at any time of poisoned molas
ses ’ in ‘ preference to plan calcium
arsenate for killing the cotton' boll

plants after tohyreuch the squaring
stage in view of experiment conduc-
ted by the Bureau of Entomology

culture Dufted calcium arsenate
the tests'indicated ia Superior to the
molasses mixture except during ex-
ceediryfly dry weather and on very
small points - ' ’ ’ j
Keen Interest hns been evidenced re-
cently in certain part of the cotton
bolt over the possibility of poisoning
to weevil with a mixture o molaiaea
calcinpi arsenate arid- water-ao many
inquiries were received by the depart
ihent - contoning the efficacy of - th
mlktulre together with repbrte of ex
ceilent results Secured In Its use in the
field that a series of tests were under-
taken by the bureau to determln - the
relative merits of the two method of
controlling the pest -"-
The first aeries of testa consisted of
cage studies comparing the - weevil
mortality on planta treated with th
molasses mixture with the mortality
on plant dusted with plain calcium
arsenate and also the death rate on
unpoisoned check plants Various con
centrations and amounts of moiasaee
mixture were tested and the - entire
series Wes repeated five times- In al)
86 different cage testes involvig the
use of about 100 weevils were iqplu-
ded in these series
