Demonstration of the Florida
Boll Weevil Control Plan
Dublin, On., .luuc 28.—-Furmers from
cloven counties were in Dublin recently
for n lecture nnd demonstration on the
Florida plan of boll weevil control,
given by Dr. Geo. D. Smith, origiuntor
of the plan, who has been conducting
extensive experiments in this work for
several years at the Florida experi
ment station.
At the conclusion of the demonstra
tion, many of the farmers went off witli
tlie avowed intention of putting the
plan into notion on their own farms,
either in whole, or on test pints. A test
pint was used for demonstrating pur
poses nnd the test will be carried out
under the direction of the county
agent.
Fnrmers present stated that the
Florida plan appealed to them as the
simplest, most elfoctive and cheapest
method yet brought out for lighting
the weevil.
Dr. Smith lectured in the court house
and gave the theory of tiis methods.
He also allowed how the plan was car
ried out.
He started on u row of cotton, care
fully pulling nil young squares off the
cotton nnd put thorn in a small cloth
sack, which had a draw string in the
top to close it tight to prevent weevils
from escaping.
After lie had cleared the squares
from a long section of the row, lie
went back to the starting point for the
poison, which was mixed on the held,
and he took a small bucket of it. a
mop on the end of a stick nnd went
down the row touching the bud of each
plant with the map nnd leaving a daub
of the poison on the bud.
Plan Very Simple.
When that, was concluded ho stop
ped, saying that was all there was to
the plan nnd there would be no more
weevils on that particular section of
row. All stalks from which the squares
had been stripped will put out a fresh
crop of squares inside of two weeks,
from top to bottom, ho stated, nnd will
have a full crop of cotton set before
the migratory boll weevils come in from
anv adjoining fields.
His explanation of the plnn briefly
summed up was: When grown weevils
come out of hibernation and in the
spring they wait for the first squares
to begin lnying eggs. Each weevil will
have 135 descendants. You can not
pick off nnd poison all the old weevils
before the squares are punctured.
"As soon as the late wovil is out
of winter quarters, which happens
around .Tune 15th, go into your cotton
field and strip 'every square off your
plants. By doing this you get every
square that has an egg inside. Follow
closely behind this stripping with pois-
on.
"When the squares are nil off the
stnlk the grown weevils hunt for the
bud, where they feed while awaiting
squares. Put tiio poison on the bud
and you will get the grown weevil.
There is no use poisoning him unless
you linvc taken care to destroy bis
135 children. It is time wasted.
No More Weevils.
"When you have taken off squares
and poisoned the old weevils, you* will
not have any more weevils until the
migratory swarms come in August or
about GO’ days from the time you pull
off tlie squares.
"The first week after tlie plants have
been stripped of squares, it will grow
about (> or 8 inches. The next week
it will begin putting out new squares.
These will not only bo on tho bottom,
as is usual, but from top to bottom.
"Tho entire crop will be put on at
once and insido of GO days will be ma
tured to the point where the migratory
woovils in August can not harm it.
The work niust be done thoroughly.
All squares must bo taken olf. One left
will mean weevils in the field. ’ ’
As to poisoning methods, Dr. Smith
stated lie had been using both dusting
and mopping, but owing to the oxcos-
sive rains, lie had used mopping alto
gether lately, as it stood the rainB much
better. As' for the mixture, he ad
vised the farmers to mix their own
aoultion. "Roll your own,’’ he said
time and again.
He gave a formula that is very sim
ple. ft is two pounds calcium arsenate,
one gallon of syrup, one-half gallon of
water. Mix the arsenate and wated
first, then add the syrup.
No method of fighting the weevil
has ever appealed to the farmers for
its simplicity, its logic, and its econ
omy, as did the one given by Dr. Smith
and many left with the intention of
putting it into effect at once.
This was the first demonstration or
lecture ever given on the matter by
Dr. Smith outside of Florida, and he
was given a most careful hearing.
Summer Schools to Open

Control of the Bean Beetle
The Mexican bean beetle, which made
its first appearance east of the Rocky
Mountains near Birmingham, Ala., in
1920, lins spread so rapidly that it now
occurs throughout the northern half of
Alabama, the northern third of Goor
gin, tho eastern two-thirds of Tonnes
see, and nearly one-half of Kentucky us
well as in small areas in Virginia, Nortli
Carolina, and South Carolina. Its coi
trol is. therefore, very important.
In a recent circular, Dr. W. E. Tlimls,
entomologist for the Alabama Experi
meat Station ami Extension Service,
states that it can be satisfactorily ami
economically controlled by proper dust
ing with either of the following for
mulas:
1 part high-grade calcium arsenate.
1 part dusting sulprur.
4 parts hydratod lime.
Tliis mixture contains approximately
fi 2-3 per cent of arsenic oxide which is
the killing ingredient. Mixing should
be thorough.
1 part liigh-grado calcium arsenate.
9 parts hydrated lime.
Tills material contains about -t per
cent of arsenic oxide. Mixing should
be thorough.
It is stated by Dr. Binds that about
20 pounds of cither mixture will dust
an acre. The cost of the first formula
is considerably more than that of the
second, but it contains a higher per
centago of arsenic and is, therefore
more effective. Its use is justified if
infestation is heavy. Tho first applica
tion should be made as the feeding in
jury by hibernated beetles becomes
common, which usually occurs about the
time blooming begins.
For home gardens or small areas a
small hand bellows duster is rocom-
meuded. If bonus are grown on a larg
er scale, which is usually the enso with
truck fnmors. a fan type of duster, such
ns is widely used for cotton dusting, is
preferable. A knapsack type of bel
lows duster is also good. Dusting
should bo done in tho day time when
slibuld be done in tlie (lny time while
the bean foliage is dry.
Tho recommendations made by Dr.
Hinds are based on investigational
work conducted by the Alabama Expori-
fBMit Station.—P. O. Davis in The Pro
gressive Farmer.

Dear Editor and Readers:
Here I come again. Will you 1—no
need of saving it—I am sure you will
let me In.
1 have been to quite a few places
since 1 last wroto the Free Press, April
first (Easter Sunday.) I have boon
traveling, with the exception of about
throe weeks, that I spent in Bremen,
On., with liomefolks. I have been in
seven different states, viz: Georgia.
Florida, Alabama, Tonnosso, Kentucky,
Ohio and Indiana, and have had tho
plosiiro of stopping in every state and
making acquaintances, seeing the
sights and enjoying myself in general.
I have had the pleasure of seeing some
of the IiohI cities the grand old Union
affords, ns well us sumo of tho principal
rivers and water ooursos.
The country in general agrees with
/ health. I have gained 20 pounds
of flesh since I left Southern Georgia.
1 have seen the best stock, tobacco and
manufacturing huru that I have ever
seen. Covington, Ky., is just across the
river from Cincinnati, Ohio. It has
about 100,060 inhabitants. Daniel
Boone located here when he braved the
dangers of u wild and savage wilder-
ness, elimblng the mountains on foot
and settling up the state of Kentucky.
It was also near the caves where Daniel
Buono carved on a tree, "D. Boone
killed a bear here 1700.” Is that eor-
rectf You see I haven’t been studying
about school since 1 left home.
T wish I could visit all my school
kiddies this summer and tell von just
what 1 have snen. 1 could keep you
laughing several days. But laugh uny-
wav, for it’s healthy.
Let me go now, and 1 ’ll promise to
write again, if Mr. Waste Basket
rloesn’t get my Ictt-cr.
Yours verv truly,

FIERY. ITCHY SKIN
QUICKLY SOOTHED
BY THIS SULPHUR
Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream,
will soothe and heal skin that is irri
tated or broken out with eczema; that
is covered with ugly rasli or pimples,
or is rougli or dry. Nothing subdues
fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a
noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur preparation
is applied the itching stops and after
two or three applications, the eczema
is gone and the skin is delightfully clear
and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as
a skin remedy because it destroys flie
parasites that cause the burning, itch
ing or disfigurement. Mentho-Sulphur
always heals eczema right up.
A small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sul
phur may be had at any good drug
store.

Tt used to he July 4th that fe treld
to make safe and sane. Now it’s Sun
day.
When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don’t get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which helps
to remove the body's urinous waste
and stimulate them to their normal
activity.
The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain
from it 500 grains of acid and waste,
so wc can readily understand the vital
importance of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of good water—you can’t
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts. Take a tablcspoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast each morn
ing for a few days and your kidneys
may then act fine,. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, ana
has been used for years to help clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in the system so
they arc no longer a source of irrita
tion, thus often relieving bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts in inexpensive; can not in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-watcr drink which everyone should
take now and then to help keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this; also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt you will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backache. By
all means have your physician examine
your kidneys at least twice a year.
The Wording Of
An Ad
never puts the quality in
the goods
We are simply using this ad this week to
remind you that the quality is there, in
every article, and it is there because we
paid the price of quality in the wholesale
markets.
If you want merchandise of quality, mer
chandise that will last, merchandise that
is the last word in household economy—
then we want you to see our big stock of
goods—and prices lower than elsewhere.
