Calcium Ar»enate.
The Marketing Committee cooper
ating with the banks of Hartwell,
business people, and numbers of
farmers over the county has ordered
out one car of calcium arsenate
from the State Board of Entomology
to arrive in Hartwell on May 9th.
Calcium arsenate can be purchas
ed in 100 pound drums from this
car at 8c per pound.
If there is a sufficient demand, we
will order out a second car at this
price, but we cannot handle a second
car unless there is a demand for the
full car.
Many believe that this one car will
be absorbed immediately on arrival
by the farmers of Hart county. You
are therefore advised that you may
make a deposit with the Marketing
Committee in the office of the Coun
ty Agent or with either of the banks
of the town of Hartwell, paying the
full amount of 8c per pound for
what you want, and you will be
given first consideration in unloading
the car. This will guarantee that
you get yours out of this car.
This is l-2c per pound cheaper
than calcium arsenate will be sold
from peddler cars which will be oper
ated on some of the large railroads.
If you want to be sure of getting
calcium arsenate at this price out of
this car, then place your order at
once with full amount of cash.
We advised most farmers last year
to refrain from the use of calcium
arsenate on their cotton, because in
dications were that there would not
be heavy infestation any time dur
ing the year unless heavy rains set
in. The correctness of this position
was substantiated by the fact that at
no time during the last half of the
cotton season did weevils appear in
material numbers until just a short
while before frost.
This does not mean that poison
is not good. Poison will never in
crease the yield of cotton. It mere
ly protects the cotton crop which you
would make if boll weevils were not
present. The man who used cal
cium arsenate last year did it against
the advice of the best authorities,
as a rule, and it did not pay to use
it, because no weevils were present.
Indications are that this year there
are going to be enormous numbers
of weevils to develop in the cotton
crop, and the cotton crops will be in
danger. We advise every farmer to
stock himself if he can make arrange
ments to do so with at least 25
pounds of calcium arsenate per acre.
This will give you five dustings of
five pounds per acre for each dust
ing. This should be sufficient to give
control, to take care of having an
application or so washed off, you will
do well to purchase 30 or 35 pounds
per acre, however.
At the above price for calcium ar
senate, enough to apply six dustings
will cost only $2.40 per acre.
While the syrup or sweetened poi
sons are effective on small cotton,
there is yet no evidence to show that
these kinds of sprays are desirable
on large cotton. On the other hand,
fields have been destroyed by boll
weevils in experiments last year
where sweetened poisons were ap
plied on large cotton, either by
sprays or with mops, according to
the usual rules. It is true that
sweetened poison where* sprayed on
in enormous quantities sufficient to
get good distribution have controlled
the boll weevil, but where this was
done the cost of distribution was
considerably higher than with dust,
and it is not to be recommended.
We invite your attention to an ar
ticle in the April 11th issue of the
Country Gentleman, discussing the
boll weevil situation. This article
goes ahead to show that Mr. Coker,
a much quoted and well known writ
er on the boll weevil, has complete
ly agreed with all Government au
thorities as to the use of dust poi
son and now says that the sweetened
poison cannot be depended upon for
the control of weevils in large cot
ton. However, no one has ever de
nied that applications of sweetened
poison in the small stages of cotton
will do good. On the other hand,
they will destroy weevils at this
stage.
Urge your neighbors to purchase
poison out of this car.

which cuts off the young beans, cab
bage, etc., just under the surface
of the ground.
Take a box of good tobacco snuff,
the small size, and dissolve it in one
gallon of water, and pour this water
about the stem of the young plant
into the ground. This should be
given control.
Warm Up.
It is going to rain before long. It
may have rained before this appears
in print. When it rains the ground
is going to be cold. A great deal
of cotton is going to be in this
ground, and much of this cotton may
rot because of the low temperature.
Ground can be warmed up by stir
ring the surface of it immediately
after a rain. Take your hoe, go
out into the -field when the sun is
shining and just as soon as the
ground is dry enough to be culti
vated, stir the surface. In about
half an hour lay your hand on the
ground where it has been cultivated
and feel how warm it is. Now
reach over and put your hand on the
ground where it has not been culti
vated and feel how cool it is. Cul
tivated soil absorbs sunlight and in
addition prevents evaporation of
water. Where the soil is unstirred
evaporation of moisture takes place
at such a rapid rate that the ground
will remain cold until a larger part
of the moisture is evaporated.
For this reason, cotton, corn, etc.,
can be very profitably cultivated with
a section harrow, drug way across
the row. In this manner, the soil
will warm up much quicker and bet
ter. Stands will thereby be secured.
Potato Bug*.
Numbers of farmers have been
complaining about potato bugs in the
last two or three days. The potato
bug is the easiest of all insects to
control. Simply take your cotton
duster or your sprayer and either
dust the potatoes with pure calcium
arsenate or mix one pound of it with
50 gallons of water and spray the
plants thoroughly. Repeat the appli
cation in about ten days to prevent
an appearance of the bugs again.
Do not wait until you see the bugs.
They are going to be there anyway.
Arsenate of lead may be used, but
calcium arsenate is just as effective
and much cheaper. There is no
need to make the plants white. A
good dusting can be given without
being able to see the poison when
standing thirty feet from it.
Bean Beetle*.
Bean beetles are going to appear
in every garden in Hart county this
year where beans are grown. Be
fore the appearance of the first signs
of them, dust the beans thoroughly
with a mixture of one pound of cal
cium arsenate and 9 pounds of hy
drated lime, well mixed. Repeat this
application in two weeks. Or you
may use spray made of one pound of
calcium arsenate and three pounds

of lime to 50 gallons of water, be
ing very careful to spray the under
side of the leaves. Very little good
is done by spraying the upper sur
face of the leaves.
Vetch Worm*.
The vetch worm which is the same
kind of worm that gets in the end I
of the roast ears in the fall, will as- ;
semble in large numbers in vetch
fields but will not assemble in large
numbers in corn fields because there
are corn fields everywhere. There
are comparatively few vetch fields
and since the worm prefers vetch, i
you can expect large numbers of
worms in your vetch patches.
Watch for the worms in your
vetch while they are very small, not •
larger than half the length of a pin.
When you see them, cut your hay
immediately, and you will rid your
self of the worms. Or turn the ;
vetch under immediately. If the
worms get to a large size and begin
crawling out of your cotton or corn,
dust several rows of these crops with
calcium arsenate next to the vetch
patch and the damage will not be
great, or better dust a strip around
the vetch field and they will never
get out of the field. Be careful not
to save this poisoned vetch for hay,
however.
Corn Fertilizer*.
Bear in mind that nothing will
make young corn or cotton grow off
quicker than acid phosphate. No
tice we say grow off. We do not ‘
say keep growing. It takes nitrogen
to make growth, but the reason why I
acid prosphate makes early growth
is because it will produce a large
root system on a plant, and this large
root system can absorb much more
nitrogen. For this reason, fertilizers
for corn should include around two
or three hundred pounds of acid
phosphate per acre at planting with
just a little nitrate of soda. Nitrate
of soda should be put around the
corn when- it is not taller than 18
inches. Most experiments are advo
cating its use even earlier than
this.
Egg Storage.
We are storing several cases of
eggs now with the Atlantic Ice and
Coal Company, of Atlanta. If you
have not put in several dozen eggs
in this storage proposition, by all
means do so at once, because the
results are going to be favorable ■
to you, and next spring you will be
enthusiastic to put on storage a large
number of eggs. Eggs are going to
be high in price this fall, and the
man who stores them now while they
are cheap in price is going to make
some money out of them.
Nitrate of Soda.
All experiments show that nitrate
of soda applied either at the time of
planting or just after are more ef
fective than top dressing. If you
have used a low grade of fertilizer,
use a top dressing with 50 to 100
pounds of nitrate of soda per acre,
either before the cotton comes up
or not later than early chopping.

IDEAS ON SAVING CRIMSON
CLOVER SEED
When blooms shed most of crim
son color and turn moderately brown
use good mower after dew is off.
If cutting be delayed seed will shat
ter and waste from raking and handl
ing. If sunshine is hot, rake within [
six or eight hours into heaps. If I
not drying weather, raking may be
withheld a little longer. Next day
store on tight floor, not too much
bulk, and fork over for a few days.
Late in summer rub through sand
screen and throw off stems. If for
personal seeding, may be flailed and
stems thrown off. May be threshed
in grain thresher by retarding fan,
but this removes chaff, and is objec
tionable. Always bear in mjnd that
seed shatter extremely easily and
must be handled accordingly. Cut
ting somewhat green seems not to
injure quality of seed, so it is safe
to harvest before seeds harden.
