NEW METHOD FOR APPLYING
CALCIUM ARSENATE LESS COST
George Weidaman, Chemist of the Fulton Bag
& Cotton Mills’ of Atlanta, Has Worked
v Out Cheaper Method
MIXES CALCIUM WITH FLOCK,
GLUE, Sl’Rl'P AND W’ATEK AND
APPLIED IN THE FORM OF A
SPRAY.
and unique method of apply
ing caleium arsenate for the pur
pose of poisoning the boll weevil has
been worked out by George Weidaman,
chemist of the Fulton Bag & Cotton
Mills, of Atlanta, and is offered to the
farmers of Georgia for what its worth.
The high price of calcium arsenate
makes it imperative that some plan be
devised whereby the cost of the appli
cations will be decreased. It was for
this purpose that Mr. Weidaman set
about to perfect a less expensive meth
od of applying the mixture. What he
lias worked out, briefly stated, is a
mixture of calcium arsenate with flour,
glue, syrup and water, which is applied
in the form of spray instead of a dust,
and which he claims will adhere to the
leaves of the plant without appreciable
wastage in applying.
Mr. Weidaman is not trying to make
a dollar for himself but to benefit the
farmers. He has tried his spray on a
field of his own for two consecutive
seasons and obtained highly satisfacto
ry results, and now feels justified in
giving a report of his experiments to
the public.
Mr. Weidaman is a thoroughly scien
tific man who guesses at nothing but
tests every process j He claims for
his calcium aresnate spray that it
has the advantages of being applied in
ihe daylight, that the application,
therefore, is more accurate, that the
wind blows away less of mixture, the
entiro mixture, almost, adhering to the
leaves and stalk and stays there until
the poison has been consumed by the
weevils and therefore, furnishes a
guide for subsequent applications, so
that none is wasted.
His statement of the process is as
follows:
“I heard of a case in southern Geor
gia where a farmer spent over a thou
sand dollars and on account of the rains
lost all his poison and work. This set
me to thinking to develop a binder
which will hold the poison on the plant
and in the summer of 1921, when I had
plenty of time, I started experiment
jug, i remember to have read that
when a circus was moving on its own
teams through the country, an advance
man, sometimes a day ahead, marked
the roads to he traveled with arrows
made of flour on the ground; the man
knew that flour would not wash off
even in a heavy rain. 1 used, there
fore, flour containing a large amount
of gluten, and to prevent it from dry
ing otii too quick I mixed it with veg
etable oil, figuring that cotton seed oil
should be the most harmless to tile cot
ton plant. This emulsion is mixed with
the calcium arsenate. When sprayed
on the plant, this mixture will stick to
stalks, squares and leaves and remain
thVre in paste form which will never
dry entirely hut will soften again in
dew and rain and will dissolve just litt
lle by little of poison boll weevil food.
“The boll weevil emerges from the
square as a full grown bug and feeds
in his short life mostly on dew and
moisture of the plant. The main ob
ject. therefore, is to poison this mois
ture. . ,
“My tests started m the second
half of July in a badly infested field. It
was already too late to save the squares
as there were just a few left, finding
after the first application of the spray
already dead bugs on the leaves. I
watched this patch of cotton for the fol
lowing three months. In August we
had once a rainfall of three inches in
one day, and I found a few days after
that the sprayed material still stick
ing qc the leaves and dead bugs show
ed"’ that the poisoning power was not
greatly diminished.
“The effect of the spray on th<‘ plants
was also encouraging. Where the de
posit adhered on the top sides of the
leaf, the side underneath was thorough
ly sound and green without showing
any discolored marks or burned spots.
The spray will leave a slight deposit
holding the poison and it can he easily
set'll how much cotton has been treat
ed and how much new growth is added
since the last spray. To my judgment
two or three applications should be
sufficient for the season.
When the boll weevil is hit direct by
tbe spray he will be killed in a few
minutes, also when he tried to walk
over the still soft deposit his breath
ing organs which are located under his
wings will clog up.
My lastest formula was:
•12 oz. Calcium Arsenate.
8 oz. Flour,
g oz. Cotton seed oil.
4 oz. Molasses.
1 oz. Glycerine.
% oz. 'Glue (dry).
.Just enough water to keep it as a
stiff paste during the mixing (will
need about 12 oz.) and then water add
ed tea make up a gallon.
The glue is soaked in water for 24
hours, the water drained off, melted in
its mvc water and mixed with glycer
ine. Four parts of molasses are mix
ed with 12 parts of water and stirred
into the flour little by little, then the
arsenate is added. Stir in solution of

BIG STILL OUTFIT
FOUND IN JACKSON
One of the largest moonshine distil
leries ever found in this section was
captured two miles south of Hoschton
Monday by Sheriff Ben Collier, of Jack
son county. One white man and three
negroes were arrested by the officers.
The outfit consisted of two large cop
per stills and 2.500 gallons of beer all
ready to he made into whiskey. No
whiskey was found, hut fires had been
started in preparation for a “i - un.” In
dications were that the outfit had been
in operation for some time.
The prisoners were lodged in jail in
Jefferson. Deputies T. C. Lankford,
Kirk Collier and W. J. McGwier assist

for things that we can produce right
here at home. The table below shows
the amount of food products that were
shipped into Atlanta from outside of
the state. This does not include pro
ducts shipped into the city from Geor
gia.
Thousands of dollars worth of food

J. L. SAUL BACK
FROM MARKETS
Mr. J. L. Saul returned from the
Eastern markets this week where he
went to buy his spring and summer
stock of goods. Mr. Saul believes this
year will lie a splendid year for this
section of the state, and he has bought
a great stock of clothing, shoes, hats,
millinery goods and dresses and notions
for this section.
He says that he lias some immense
bargains for the trade. These goods
are coining in daily now by express and
he is putting them on sale.
Mr. Saul believes in printer’s ink and

slowly the oil. This emulsion is dilut
ed with water to make up a gallon.
T do not doubt that this formula may
lie improved by changing the propor
tion of replacing some with other ma
terials. But I would recommend to
use only vegetable matters besides the
arsenate in order not to hurt the cot
ton plant.
Any kind of a good sprayer will do
to apply tbe mixture to the cotton
plants.

lIIJ|RS. MARTHA JOHNSTON PERRY,
iij OIH> °* Die best known and one of
i most beloved women of this city,
died at her home in Winder last Thurs
day night. She had been sick about
three weeks. She was taken ill while
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. E.
S. Harris, in Bethlehem, hut was
'brought home and for n time it was <
! thought that she was improving. How- j

and associates who came from far and
near to pay their last tribute to one
whom they loved while living and wish
ed to honor in death. The interment
was in Rose Hill cemetery.

AN OLD BALE
OF COTTON
MR. 11. L. CARITIIERS has an
old little of cotton that is
perhaps the oldest bale in exist

old. It was grown on the Carith
ers farm in Walton county near
Car it hers Milk Several new
wrappings of bagging and ties
has been placed on the cotton
since it was ginned. The cotton
is in fine condition and Mr. Cn
rithers has been offered SI,OOO

Attribute* Succes* To
Newspaper Advertising
Advocates I'se of Newspaper Publicity.
I an interview today, Mr. Warren
Wright, President of the Calumet Bak
ing Powder Company—the largest Bak -
ing Powdei; Company in the World,
strongly advocated the use of newspaper
advertising, and points to Calumet s
success- as proof of his statement.
Sales 2 1-2 Times As Mueh.
“Calumet sales are 2 1-2 times as
much as any other brand" stated Mr.
Wright, “and we attribute this to <>ur
lavish use of newspaper space. We
believe tliat the newspaper is the most
direct medium we can use in getting
our message across to the housewife
and we know from our experience cov
ering thirty years, that the housewifo
will respond to newspaper advertising
quicker than she will to any other form
of advertising.”
Newspapers Protect Readers
“The housewives have confidence in
newspaper advertising because they
know that the newspnrers set up high
standards for their advertisers. Itm
for that reason that the housewife looks
to the newspaper for information on
products in which she is interested.”—
