County Agent L T Wagnon relays findings by Dr F S Arapt of Auburn on Alabama cotton pests. With scarce top insecticides toxaphene and BHC DDT, farmers should use a mix of calcium arsenate and limited DDT or nicotine- sprayed alternatives, including 10 percent DDT for bollworm if needed, and watch aldrin use due to high toxicity.
