Now I have no personal interest
whatever in exploiting this prep
aration, and my only interest and
desire is to assist our cotton grow
ers to fight the iniquitous calcium
arsenate trust and to do all and
(verything in my power to ad
vance their interest and aid them.
I have been very careful not to
pen a line that would mislead our
farmers or give them false hopes.
But since my last article on this
subject appeared I have received
additional evidence that the Hill
mixture will do all that Js claimed
for it.
There is not a publication in
America that stands higher than
the Manufacturer’s Record of Bal
timore, Md. This magazine would
never endorse anything unless its
value had been established beyond
diiobt or question. And the Manu-
facturer’s Record gives the Hill
mixture its unqualified endorse
ment and says this solution solves
the cotton situation for the south,
so far as combatting the boll wee
vil is concerned. One of Hs repre
sentatives has personally invest!- T
fctfcw mtetwyaiW qgttMIt,%
strongest possible i endorse
ment. * .
.1. S. Wannamaker, of St» Math
ews, S. and president of the
American Cotton Association, is
one of the largest planters and
leading citizens of his state and
the south. I know Mr. Wanna
maker personally, artd have un
bounded confidence in any state
ment he makes. What Mr. Wan-
namaker does not know about cot
ton is not worth learning. The

PARIS.—(By The Associated
Press)—The occupation of Essen
by a small French force, accom
panying engineers and customs of
ficers, la now slated for Thursday
morning, it was stated on good au
thority Monday.
Belgian and Italian engineers and
technical experts will accompany
the French but only the Belgians,
it Is understood, will c ontribute to
tho force of occupation. *
“France Is going just fat enough
in action In the Ruhr to show Ger
many she Is In earnest,” it was said
in official circles Monday.
There ia every desire on the part
of Franca, it is stated, re avoid
any unnecessary show of force— ‘
any. Indication that the French i
government is disposed to rely on '
force alone to reach a satisfactory
agreement with Germany.
Premier Poincare does not in
tend to mobilize a single soldier in
addition to the regular forces under
arms nor call out a single additlon-
I al railroad man to effect the oper
ation it Is declared.
NO MILITARY
SHOW IS PLAN
The silence of tho government
regarding its plans to seize guar
antees conceals no designs to make
a great show of military force, it is
affirmed, hut la only a natural pre
caution on the part of authorities
responsible for the success of such
a serious undertaking'as-that in
view.

MEWS OF
WANNAMAKER
Hut since hiB return home, Hoh.
T. J. Shackelford wrote Mr. Wan
namaker about cotton conditions,
and in reply rccevied a long letter.
Mr. Wannamaker in speaking of
the ravages of the boll weevil,
says: “Our section is literally
wiped off the map; two complete
crop failures on top of the ruin
ous deflation.”
Mr. Wannamaker then proceeds
to give his views about the Hill
mixture and treatment for boll
weevils. He says he visited Mr.
Hills plantation and made a per
sonal investigation of his methods.
He was very much struck with his
method of boll weevil poison. It la
claimed that the mixing of cal
cium arsenate and syrup has the
same odor as the cotton bloom, and
that it attracts the weevil that
cats the- poison and is annihilat
ed. it is far less expensive than
the dry calcium. Mr. Wannamak
er says be saw Mr. Hill’s cotton
growing in the fields and talked
with a number of people who used
hi- poison, and there is no ques-
■inn but that they made good
crops. , *
Mr. Wannamaker explains that
the cotton bloom is absolutely
necessary for the propagation of
the hull weevil, and they would
perish if it were not for the bloom,
they suck the juice,fiom the ten
der hud until they get access to
the bloom. It is only after cot
ton blooms that the weevil in-
1 oascs. Mr. Hill claims that the
■ mont makes a great mis-
pending upon the lohgth cf the
bearing given the Germans.
The French plans for independ
ent action are bound up In the Com
mission's decision, since Premier
Poincare will use It In sri.port of
tho contemplated seizure of guaran
tees in the Ruhr, declaring in the
chamber of deputies, it is said, that
the default entitles France to Ihn
punitive measures against Germany
under the treaty.
AMERICA MAY
HAVE A WORD . ,
It was considered probable that
Roland W. Boyden, the American
representative with the repara
tions commission would have
something to say on the question
before the final vote.
It Is customary to call upon the
American unofficial delegatas at
times when important decisions
are to be made and . Mr. Boyden,
it is believe J. will point out that
while tho default of Germany is
clear the circumstances under
which it occurred were suet, ns
should causo the commission to ac
company Its decision with a state
ment of the facts. Mr. Boyden, It la
’also thought, holds the opinion fat
the facts of the case sl- u that
Germany is unable to completo the
remaining 20 per cent of her deliv
eries because of a shortage at home
and that her punishment, there
fore, should be tempered 'to tit the
circumstances.
