VOL. XXIX. 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 @k Winter iXctt's. * and THE BARROW TIMES 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 ed Sheriff Collier in the raid. WHERESOME OF OUR MONEY GOES An Atlanta firm has been interesting itself in tabulating the amount of mon ey that goes out of the state of Georgia 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 stuffs were shipped from outside the state into other cities of Georgia. Here Is The Result.

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 wilt tell the public about his great liar gains through the columns of the Win der News. MRS. C. H. COOK WINS CABINET. The splendid $75.06 cabinet that was put up for sale at auction by the Par ker Furniture Company was hid in by Mrs. C. H. Cook for $50.00. The lowest bid was $15.01. This cabinet is one of the best on the market and Mrs. Cook is to he congratulated on her good fortune in securing this valuable addi tion to her kitchen furniture. These cabinets are on sale at the Parker Furniture Company and if you want a cabinet that will give you the best service and that will last you a life time, don't fail to see Mr. Parker. glue and glycerine and finally work In 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. Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, January 25, 1923. NEW FIRE ENGINE UKELYFOR WINDER ___ J A The City of Winder is arranging to purchase a fire engine for the City. This will lie of great help hi extin guishing tires and will greatly reduce our insurance rates. The city has long needed such an engine and when this new engine arrives it will be ready in case of fires. ALPHARETTA, GA. LEVIES NO TAXES The city officials in Alpharetta have recently been re-elected on their records for the past two years.
