AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Spraying With Calcium Arsenate
Every cotton farmer is naturally
concerned about the use of calcium
arsenate as a means of aiding in the
control of boll weevil depredations.
This is relatively a new method of
fighting the weevil, and there is
much more to be learned about the
various processes which should be
employed than we know at the. pres
ent time. In order that the fewest
possible number of mistakes may be
made and the greatest benefit accrue
to our landowners, an attempt has
been made to gather together and
present in suscinct form all the
essential facts known relative to the
use of calcium arsenate. This work
has been carried forward by the
Agronomy division of the Georgia
State College of Agriculture and the
summary presented below represents
their findings and the judgment of
this institution relative to the sub
ject under discussion. Our readers
should be careful to preserve this
data as they will often need to refer
to it during the coming summer.
1. Plant cotton and use calcium
arsenate only on good land and use
plenty of the proper fertilizers.
2. Use only a high grade calcium
arsenate. Calcium arsenate for poi
soning the boll weevil should con
tain approximately forty-two per cent
arsenic pentoxid and not more than
0.75 per cent water soluble arsenic,
and the density should be 80 to 100
cubic inches per pound. Calcium ar
senate can not be made on a com
mercial scale with more than 43 per
cent pentoxid without danger of hav
ing the content of water soluble ar
senic run above one per cent. Cal
cium arsenate containing less than
40 per cent to 42 per cent arsenic
pentoxid is not sufficiently toxic to

be an effective control for the boll
weevil and more than 0.75 per cent
water soluble arsenic is liable to
burn the foliage and injure the cot
ton plant. Calcium arsenate for poi
soning cotton must be in the form
of a very finely divided powder if
it is to be applied with successful
results. If too finely divided, it is
difficult to apply satisfactorily be
cause it is more pasty in character
and easily clogs the machinery used
in applying it. If the powder is not
finely divided it does not adhere to
the plants well enough to be effec
tive and‘it will take greater quanti
ties to cover the cotton completely.
A density of 80 to 100 cubic inches
per pound is the most satisfactory
fineness of division.
Dry Powder For Cotton
3. Use only as a dry powder to
be dusted on the cotton. Do not mix
with water or other liquid to use
as a liquid spray. The unmixed, un
diluted dry calcium arsenate pow
der dusted on the cotton is the most
effective control and is easiest and
cheapest. to apply. If the poison is
applied as a liquid spray the drop
lets of the solution have a tendency
to roll off the leaves or to collect
in big drops on the plant, but if
a dust cloud is used the entire out
side surface of the plant is covered
with the small particles. In dust
ing, then, the plant is more com
pletely covered and with a much
smaller quantity of poison. Other
points to be considered are that there
is not the chance of error in mix
ing and that there is much less
weight to be handled In hauling and
applying.
4. Apply the calcium arsenate
only when the plants are moist with
dew. The work will have to be done
very late in the afternoon, during
the night, or early in the morning,
while the air is still and the plants
are moist with dew. The cloud of
dust, floating through the plants in
the row, adheres more readily to the
surfaces of stems and leaves if the
plants are moist and a greater pro
portion of the poison used settles
on the plants. The poison that set
tles on moist surfaces Is not so easi
ly washed off by subsequent rains
nor so easily blown off by winds
because it is pasted to the leaf as
the dew dries off. The air is usu
ally relatively still in late after
noon and at night and this makes
it much easier to apply the poison
satisfactorily.
5. Do not begin the poisoning un
til the infestation is heavy enough
to damage the cotton 10 per cent to
20 per cent, the per cent of damage
is determined by the number of
squares punctured in every hundred
squares counted as you come to them
in the field. If an average of ten
or more squares in every hundred
counted have been punctured, it is
not too early to begin poisoning.
Many people, after hearing of this
method, have decided that it would
be better to begin poisoning as soon
as weevils made their appearance in
a field, but this is a mistake. It
will never be possible to poison all
the weevils in a field and more
weevils can be destroyed by hand
picking of weevils and squares than
by poisoning early in the season and
it can be done at much less expense.
Infestation will seldom be heavy
enough to warrant the use of poison
before the last of June or the mid
dle of July. It will often be ad
visable to begin earlier In one field
than in others for very often the in
festation early in the season is con
fined to small areas.
Use Polson Frequently
6. After beginning the work in a
field use the poison often enough to
keep the cotton covered with poison
at all times. Rains will wash the
poison off, especially if they fall
within twenty-four hours after it is
applied, and the work will have to
be done again as soon after a rain
as possible. New growth of leaves
and squares is continually being
formed which makes it necessary to
make rather frequent applications
even when there are no rains. The
interval between applications will
vary under different conditions, but
it will generally be from about the
first or middle of July to the mid
dle of Augtist. There will be four
to seven applications at intervals of

August for fruit saved after that
date will seldom mature before frost.
7. Be as economical with material
as conditions will permit. The cost
of the calcium arsenate is always the
largest single item of expense, so it
must be used with economy to make
the practice of poisoning a success.
If proper dusting machinery is used
the cotton can be covered complete
ly with an application of about five
pounds per acre. The use of calcium
arsenate powder as a control for the
boll weevil is comparatively a new
thing and machinery for applying
the powder rapidly and economically
on a large scale is having to be de
signed and made. When the experi
mental work was begun only hand
dusters were available, but since that
time power dusters have been made
Power dusters are more satisfactory
under most conditions because the
greater force of the blast of air
and the greater spread of the dust
cloud make it possible to cover the
cotton with less waste of powder.
The first of these machines were
mounted on four-wheel wagons or
frames and were operated by small
gasoline engines. These machines
were drawn by two mules or horses
and had pipes for dusting five to
seven rows at a time. They were
in a measure successful where the
fields were large, level and free of
stones, stumps and ditches, and had
a capacity of thirty to fifty or
more acres a day under such con
ditions. These machines had a few
disadvantages that make them unsat
isfactory for general conditions.
They are so heavy that it is not
practicable to use them in fields that
are wet or soft. They are so large
that it is difficult to handle them
on turn rows and terraces and in
irregular fields. It takes men with
better understanding of gasoline en
gines and machinery than the aver
age farm labor has to operate them
without a great deal of expense and
loss of time. Another disadvantage
is that the first cost is too high tor
the average farmer. A much better
machine for most conditions is the
cart type wheel-traction machine that
has recently been designed and which
will come on the market during the
winter of 1915-1920. This machine
has two wheels instead of four,
which makes it much easier to han
dle in small, rough, or irregular
fields. The power for operating fan
and agitator are supplied from the
tvheels. This machine is to be drawn
by two mules or horses and will
carry three or four rows at a time.
There will probably not be as many
machines of this type on the market
this year as there will be demand
for, but other companies are plan
ning to manufacture them in time
to be used on the cotton crop of
1921.
Hand Duster’s Expensive
Several companies have satisfac
tory types of hand dusters on the
market but it is not economical to
use these because the cost of hand
labor is so great and because it
takes a much larger quantity of
calcium arsenate to cover the cot
ton than when power machines are
used. They are adapted to very
small or irregular fields and to fields
either* stony or covered with stumps.
8. Do not think that the use of
calcium arsenate will make it no
longer necessary to use control meas
ures such as early destruction of
stalks in the fall, the planting of
early maturing varieties, early plant
ing, heavy fertilization, rapid culti
vation, and hand picking the first
weevils and the first punctured
squares. Cotton will hardly be a
profitable crop under boll weevil con
ditions unless all these control
measures are used, but If all are
used cotton will probably continue to
be the most profitable crop for the
cotton belt farmer who does not
plant all cotton but uses the safe and
business-like scheme of diversified
farming.
Calcium arsenate is poisonous to
man and to livestock as well as to
the boll weevil, and it will be nec-
essary to take great care to see
that open packages are nc* left
where children or livestock can get
to them. The poison should not be
kept in barns or cribs where there
is danger of being mixed with feeds.
Men who h He it should take care
to bathe the face and hands well be
fore eating and should be careful
to prevent breathing very much of
the dust in the field. Work stock
should be muzzled when worked in a
field that has been poisoned.
Fancing Cotton Forward With
Fertilizers
J. W. W., Warrenton, Ga., writes:
We want to make a good cotton crop
in spite of the boll weevil, and wish
you to suggest to us just how we should
mix our soda, acid and kainit to get
the best results. We have no cotton
seed meal this year. Please tell us
how much to use and when it should
be applied.
Situated as you are it seems de
sirable from our point of view that
you mix together the following in
gredients and apply the same at the
rate of five hundred pounds per
acre under your cotton. We would
use for ourselves four hundred
pounds of nitrate of sode, twelve
hundred pounds of high-grade acid
phosphate and four hundred pounds
of kainit. This mixture will contain
approximately 3.2 per cent of avail
able nitrogen, 9.6 per cent of avail
able phosphoric acid and 2.5 per cent
of available potash. The potash sug
gested may , cost you considerable,
but we believe the amount suggest
ed is the minimum quantity you
should use under existing conditions
and on the type of soil prevailing
in your county. We would put this
material under the drill row at the
time of planting the cotton. The
nitrate of soda and the other ma
terials suggested will effectively
take the place of the cotton seed
meal you have previously been using.
We would regard this as a first
class, standard formula for use un
der cotton in your section of Geor
gia.
Handling Meat After Dry Curing
L. W. R., Ambrose, Ga., writes: We
have used the dry method in curing
our meat and wish to know how the
meat should be treated when unpacked.
It has now been packed in a hard wood
barrel for three weeks, which, accord
ing to directions, is long enough. Kind
ly tell us how to proceed with the
curing process.
When meat is cured by what is
known as th® dry process, it is then
smoked in just the same way as one
would follow with meat which has
been cared in brine. In dry curing
meat, the important thing is to see
that the mixture advised for use in
this process is thoroughly rubbed
into the meat and that the meat is
kept in a cool, fairly moist place dur
ing the curing process. If this is
not done, the preservatives will not
penetrate through the mass of the
meat evenly and uniformly. Hence,
the cure will not be satisfactory. No
doubt you are familiar with the or
dinary process of finishing the cur
ing by smoking the meat. A fairly
tight house eight to ten feet high
should prove satisfactory for this
purpose. A large structure will not
be required for the average farm.
There, of course, should be small
openings under the eaves or a chim
ney to carry out the surplus smoke.
The meat should be kept six or
seven feet away from the fire. The
best fuel to use is green hickory or
maple smothered with sawdust of
the same material. Hard wood of
all kinds is preferable to soft wood.
Corn cobs may be used in the ab
sence of an available supply of hard
wood. Slow smoking is to be pre
ferred to rapid curing. After the
meat is smoked, it should be wrap
ped, in heavy paper and then in bur
lap, canvas or muslin. The hams
may be kept in a cool cellar where
there is a free circulation of air.
The storage place should be dark
and flies should be excluded there
from.
Digging Holes for Pecan Trees
K. C., Columbus, Ga., writes: I am
starting a fruit and pecan orchard,
and would like some advice. How
deep should the holes be dug and how
should they be dug? Would blasting
the holes be very expensive?
One starting a fruit or pecan or
chard in your section should now
hasten the l planting of the trees as
much as possible. It is important
that this work be done very short
ly so that the trees may have the
best chance to make an early .tart
under the most favorable s sasonal
and soil conditions. Late planting is
to be avoided as in our experience
it has seldom been successful. In
planting trees, it is desirable to have
a relatively large, deep hole, and it
is important to have the lower area
of the soil loosened and broken up
so that the roots of tlie trees may
penetrate the land readily. A loose
area of soil also tends to draw and
hold the moisture in the lower reas
to better advantage than ..st other
parts of the field on which the hard
pan as it were has not been broken
i p. It is a very good practice, there
fore, to blast vut the holes intended
for trees. This may be done by us
ing from one-half to a whole stick
of dynamite. The work, of course,
must be done with precision and in
telligence in order to enable you to
secure the best results. We are in
clined to think that with our present
and inefficient labor chat blasting
boles would likely prove economical.
In digging holes for fruit trees and
particularly pecans, one would have
to resort largely to the use of the
pick and shovel. The holes sho; Id
be, in our judgment, at least three
feet across and two or mors feat
in depth. You will see that it is a
tedious business to dig holes of this
type in the manner indicated. You
can, of course, economize on labor
by using heavy turning plows fol
lowed by a sub-soil plow. With the
use of these implements, you may
check as it were the land and thus
obviate at the point where the fur
rows cross a considerable amount of
the digging which otherwise would
have to be done by hand.
The most economical use of beet
top silage calls for about thirty
pounds daily for each steer or cow
and about three pounds for each
sheep. Always begin with a light
ration.

SWEET POTATO SYRUP GOOD;
IT CAN BE MADE AT HOME
With sugar high and hard to get
sirups of various kinds have taken
on new importance in the eyes of
housekeepers. A sirup well liked
by those who have used it is made
from sweet potatoes. It is palatable,
and useful, both in cooking ana on
the table, and it can be made eas
ily at home from potatoes that '
otherwise might be wasted because
of the difficulty in storing them. j
Any of the common varieties of I
sweet potatoes can be used, ac- |
cording to the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Potatoes
which have been harvested for some
time yield a sweeter sirup than
those recently harvested.
How to Make Simp
The method of preparing the sirup
is as follows:
Wash the sweet potatoes and re
move any decayed portions or oth
er blemishes. Peeling the potatoes
improves the quality of the sirup,
but it not necessary. After weigh
ing the potatoes, place them in a
kettle with from two to three times
their weight of water, and boil for
one and one-half hours or until
throughly soft. Without removal
from the kettle and the liquid in
which they cooked, mash the pota
toes until smooth and add water
if needed to form a thin mush.
The temperature of this mixture
should be brought to 140 degrees
F., and one-half ounce of ground
brewer’s majt should be added for
each pound of sweet potatoes as
weighed before cooking. The malt
contains an enzyme capable, under
the proper conditions of tempera
ture, of changing some of the starch
of the potato into sugar. This ac
tion is best accomplished between
140 degrees F. and 150 degrees F.
If heated to too high a temperature
the activity of the malt enzyme
is destroyed, hence for satisfactory
results a good thermometer Is nec
essary. The mixture should be
thoroughly stirred as it is very
important that the temperature of
the mass be uniform throughout
during the action of the malt.
After allowing it to stand for a
few minutes at 140 degrees F. the
mixture should be stirred constant
ly while heating until the tempera
ture of 150 degrees F. is reached,
and then should be removed from
the heat. Let the mixture, now tech
nically termed the “mash," stand
for one hour, with occasional stir
ring. At the end of this time place
the mash in cloth bags, close the
opening of the bag and knead the
mass gently. The juice flows out
under gentle pressure, leaving the
pulp behind. Place the juice so ob
tained in an open kettle and boil
down to a sirup of about the con
sistency of molasses.
Good for Caramel Flavor
This sirup is especially delicious
in any product where a caramel
flavor is to be developed by brown
ing .whether it be candy, pudding,
$3,500,000 of Furs
Sold in One Day at
St. Louis Auction
Sales estimated at $3,500,000 were
made on the floor of the Interna
tional Fur exchange in St. Louis,
last week, and a revised auditor’s
account of Monday’s transactions
showed that the total for that day
reached $5,088,173, in place of the
$4,175,000 previously given out.
As a contrast and in order to show
the tremendous demand for furs
that exists at the present sale, the
figures of former sales that were
published show that in January,
1919, the sales amounted approxi
mately to $8,000,000 for the entire
auction, $10,000,000 was received in
the April sales and $15,000,000 in
October.
It was also announced that, al
though prices obtained here are con
sidered extraordinary, the prices be
ing obtained in London are follow
ing closely, due to the present scarc
ity of skins throughout the world.
As previously announced, more than
50 per cent of the available fur sup
ply .’n the world is on sale in St.
Louis.
Marten pelts were put on the mar
ket yesterday and were in great de
mand at from $lO to SIOO each, with
a record established In the sale of
one skin which brought SBSO. It was
said to be one of the finest ever
taken. The lot of 11,000 skins was
disposed of. The next lot was 4,700
stone marten pelts and these brought
from S2O to S4O each. A lot of 400
Baum marten skins was sold at from
S2O to SSO each, and 215,000 marmots
brought from $2 to $5 each. \
Mink skins, however, seemed the
favorites in the day’s sales. Good
skins averaged from $lO to S4O for
choice. Low grades sold at from
$1.50 to $5. One lot reported to be
the finest collection ever sold at
auction, reached the total of $75 per
skin. The total sales of mink reach
ed 105,000 skins.
One St. Louis retail dealer report
ed that he has sold a mink wrap for
$3,500 and expressed regret that he
had not postponed his retail sales of
mink garments until after the values
had been established by the present
sale. Extra large Alaskan and north

Learn a Dealer’s Standing
Before Shipping to Him
When much produce is to shipped,
it will pay the shipper to look up a
dealer’s commercial standing very
carefully before consigning in his
care. Marketing experts of the
United States department of agricul
ture call attention to the fact that
the rating of any dealer may be se
cured through firms which make a
business of rating the financial and
general credit standing of men in
different kinds of business. They
publish regular reports which give
a general idea as to a dealer’s
standing, though, as is perhaps in
evitable, in many specific Instances
they have been found to be inaccu
rate. This general credit standing is
of prime importance, as a man with
a rather low financial rating may be
one of the most reliable. Firm letter
heads, giving trade references, should
not be accepted at their face value
without verification.
The chamber of commerce, boards
of trade, and similar bodies are
often of assistance in giving infor
mation as to dealers specializing in
different commodities. Local bankers
may also help in determining the re
sponsibility of a particular firm.
Limited lists of dealers in various
commodities are sometimes supplied
by the bureau of markets, United
States department of agriculture,
Washington, D. C., in response to
inquiries.
Once a satisfactory representative
or customer is found, it should be
the aim of the shipper to maintain
his connection with this one firm,
as by so doing mutual confidence
will be fostered and better results

sauce, baked beans, or glazed pota- I
toes.
It is also very acceptable as a i
table sirup to eat with pancakes |
fritters, etc. Some people like the i
sirup better if flavored with a lit- i
tie caramelized sugar. A little acid, [
from one to two teaspoons of vine- |
gar, to a cupful of sirup is another [
addition that lends variety, or both ;
acid and caramel flavor may be ,
used together.
The following recipes for the use ;
of sweet potato sirup were tested ,
in the experimental kitchen of the j
United States Department of Agri- I
culture:
Taffy.
1 cup sirup (nearly 12 ounces). 1
teaspoon vinegar.
Cook together about 10 minutes, or i
until a hard ball is formed when !
dropped into cold water. Pour out I
onto greased pan or slab. When ;
cool enough to handle, pull.
Gingersnaps
One-half cup sirup, 1-4 cup fat, 1
1-4 teaspoon soda, 3-4 teaspoon salt,
1-2 tablespoon ginger, 1 1-2 cups
flour.
Heat sirup to boiling point, pour
over fat, add dry ingredients sifted
together.
Drop Cookies
Three-quarters cup sirup, 1-4 cup
fat, 1 egg, 1-2 teaspoon soda, 2
tablespoons water, 1 cup raisins,
2 cups flour (about), 1-2 teaspoon
cinnamon, 1-8 teaspoon cloves, pow
dered.
Heat fat and sirup together, add
spices while warm. When cool, add
part of flour sifted with soda, egg
well beaten, and raisins. Add just
enough of the rest of the flour, so
that the dropped teaspoonfuls of
batter hold their shape. Bake In
moderately hot oven.
Chocolate Cup Cake
One-quarter cup fat, 1-2 cup sirup
(plain or caramelized), 1-4 tea
spoon soda, 3 tablespoons milk,
1 teaspoon salt, 2 eggs, 2 squares

sugar, 2 eggs, 4 tablespoons butter,
6 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon salt,
1 pint milk.
Cream butter and flour, add salt,
sugar, and milk; cook till thick. Add
hot mixture to beaten eggs, mean
while beating rapidly to prevent
curdling: place in double boiler and
cook two or three minutes, stirring
constantly. Add sirup and beat well,

jumps from one connection to an

prices.
Spring calves should be weaned
before the end of the pasture sea
son in the fall to allow them some
time on grass if winter pasture can
not be provided. If they are to be
finished as baby beef they should
go into dry lot at .the end of the
pasture season and be ready for mar
