Protect The Bird*
Birds are the greatest insect de
stroyers on earth and scientists
claim that half of the population of
the earth would die of starvation if
there were no birds to. destroy the
insects which prey upon the food
crops of man. We have many beau
tiful little birds which try to make
their homes in the court yard,
though boys with flips make their
lives miserable, drive them away
and at times kill or cripple mother
birds and cause the little birds to
starve. We think if ornithology
waa taught in our public schools it
would be woAh a great deal more
than some subjects that are taught.
The children should learn something
of birds and their worth.
Large Snake In Bed
They say “what a man don’t know
don’t hurt him,” and in this case
“what a man didn’t know didn’t
scare him.” One of, our good citi
zens and his small s6n crawled into
bed and spent a peaceful night. The
old man awoke several times during
the night and felt, the mattress
move a little, but thought the boy
was causing the slight movement.
Next morning he removed the mat
tress to sun it, and a six foot snake
lay quietly on a straw bed. He was
making his winter quarters between
the mattress and straw bed. He
picked a warm place.

Overall Preacher
At Cool Spring church Sunday,
Rev. J. H. Peck will preach dressed
in overalls. Male members of the
congregation will attend in similar
clothing, it being mutually agreed
that preacher and the men will dress
alike. The thought arising / from
such a plan cannot be estimated.
Were every minister and! church
member in the South alone to wear
cotton clothes, whether overalls or
civilian suits, the value of and de

crease instantly. There would be a
corresponding decrease in the pres

June Gardening Suggestion*
“Spring Gardening Fever” is a
bout over. The sun is hot, but for
your own good, do not neglect the
Vegetable gardening.
Cultivation after each rain will
keep down weeds and grass, con
serve moisture and keep the soil in
good condition for plant growth.
When watering the garden,
thoroughly soak it until the “mois
ture meets”. Cultivate the follow
ing day, and do not water again for
several days or until the plants need
it. Never sprinkle the garden as
this causes the roots to grow to
ward the surface where they are
apt to be killed by heat, drouth or
cultivation.
Prepare ground for fall Irish po
tatoes to be planted in July. Every
time the garden is cultivated, break
the crust on potato plot. This will
keep down weeds and build up a re
serve water supply.
Cultivate old strawberry beds. If
you need more plants, allow the
first runners to take root. They
will give the best and strongest
plants. Set new strawberry beds
during June and July and a crop
will be produced next season.
Harvest onions when one fourth
of the tops fall. If it is not a bril
liant day, let them lie on the ground
until afternoon. Then spread thin
ly under a w’ater tight shelter where
air circulates freely. When tops
are dry (like fodder), clip off one
inch from bulb. roots and
store in slatted crates/ or spread
thinly in a dark, dry, well ventilat
ed place. Examine occasionally and
.remove any decaying ofies.
Make planting of seed for later
transplanting for the fall crop:
Collard —Georgia 1 oz. gives a
bout 1500 plants.
Cabbage—Succession 1 oz. gives
about 1500 plants.
Tomato —Marglobe 1 oz. gives
1500 to 2000 plants. Make at least
three settings of tomatoes, one of
which should be in June.
Celery—Giant Pascal and Golden
Self-Blanching. Sow seed in frame;
transplant to partially shaded
frames or beds, spacing seedlings 2
inches apart. Transplant ta field
first of August.
Make Successive Plantings of:
Corn —i Stowell’s Evergreen,
Trucker’s Favorite, Golden Bantam.
Beans (Snap bunch) —Giant
Stringless Green Pod, Bifrpee s
Stringless.
Beans (Snap pole) —McCaslan
and Kentucky Wonder.
Butter Beans —(Bunch) Hender
son Bush Lima.
Cucumber —White Spine, Long
Green, Stay Green.
Squash—Yellow Crook-Neck.
Beets —Blood Turnip, Crosby’s
Egyptian.
One planting during spring or
early summer of these will be
enough:
Okra —White Velvet, Perkins
Long Pod.
Eggplant—Florida High Bush,
Black Beauty.
Pepper—Ruby Giant, Ruby King.
New Zealand Spinach—Eat the

801 l Weevils And
Their Control, Weevils
Now In County
Now is the time to kill the boll
weevils that have emerged from
hibernation quarters.
Up to the time' the first squnres
nre formed on the cotton plant you
I can feel mre that all the boll wee
j vils you may find arc the ones that
have emerged from winter quarters.
Sinee boll weevils only feed on cot
ton plants until the first squares are
formed, then it looks very reason
able that they will be easier to poi
son at that time than after squares
come, and then they feed partly
from within the squares.
The boll weevils use the cotton
square entirely as an incubator and
brooder to reproduce their young in.
That is, the female boll weevil that
emerges from winter quarters is
not in position to lay any eggs that
will reproduce young until she is in
position to deposit her eggs in cot
ton squares. We should do all we
can to kill all weevils that emerge
from winter quarters before they
have had an opportunity to see a
cotton square, much less lay an egg
in one.
Then, it seems to me, that since
the female boll weevil lays her eggs
only in the cotton square; and
second, until the cotton squares are
formed, the weevil feeds on tender
parts of leaves and bud of cotton
plunt, that the most practical, most
economical, and most efficient time
to poison boll weevils to get good
control is before ( cotton squares are
formed, or early in season, and late
enough to allow practically all
weevils to have emerged from hiber
nation quarters.
The above being true, as we see
it, then the time to poison cotton
to control boll weevils, is NOW.
I suggest the following method of
Boil Weevil Control:
Use calcium arsenate commercial
ly prepared as the poison. Apply
calcium arsenate in dust form with
use of regular dusting machine for
best results. Use cotton cloth sack
and dust cotton if cannot have use
of any kind of machine. Use about
3 pounds per acre, or 3 to five
pounds.
Liquid Application: Make a mix
ture using two pounds calcium ar
senate, one gallon blackstrap mo
lasses or some other kind of cheap
thick syrup, and two gallons of
water. Thoroughly mix, and con
tinue to keep mixture agitated when
applying, so as to be sure some of
calcium arsenate is in suspension in
mixture at all times. Apply this
mixture by use of a mop made by
attaching small bunch of rags on
end of stick about three feet long.
In applying, allow mop to rub
against little cotton plant stalk and
across top leaves and bud. DO NOT
APPLY ANY FERMINTED MIX
TURE TO COTTON OR EXPECT
BURNING DAMAGE. That is, only
mix as much of above suggested
mixture as expect to apply m one
day, because if allowed to stay
mixed more than a day or so the
syrup will cause same to fermint.
NOW is the time for first applica
tion, either dust or liquid mixturb.
Repeat application one week
later, and again one week later.
That is, apply poison NOW, week
of June 13th, again week of 20th,
and again week of 27th.
Then pick up off of ground and
from plants punctured squares week
of June 27th, and July 4th, and de
stroy same.
Plow cotton shallow each week
from now until late in season.
Will it pay to POISON? That is
the question you are hearing asked
so much now.
Using either the dust or liquid
control plan, as I have suggested,
it will cost about:
Dust method, 3 to 5 pounds per
acre, at 6c lb., is 15 to 30 cents.
Figure thirty cents and three appli
cations, you have 90 cents for poi
son cost per acre.
Liquid Method: One gallon
blackstrap molasses will cost about
18 Ctnts, 2 pounds calcium arsenate
at 6c lb. is 12 cents, and water,
mal.es total of thirty cents, and
three applications is total cost per
acres of 90 cents.
I have not figured the labor, be
cause that will vary.
Figuring cost of poison 90 cents
per acre, if only 60 pounds of seed
cotton, or 20 pounds of lint cotton
is produced more than if no poison,
then it has more than paid cost at
Thursday, June 16, 1932.

five cents per pound.
Control of boll weevils is insur
ance against your investment al
ready in the crop.
Pre-square, or early poisoning to
control boll weevils, is similar to
putting out a small fire on a house
when it has just started. Allowing
hibernated weevils to lay eggs in
squares, and a generation or two
reproduce, and then try and control
them, is like allowing the house to
get afire all over and then try and
put same out.
Preparing seed bed, planting cot
ton crop, fertilizing crop, cultivat
ing crop, and then allow the boll
weevils to reap the harvest, may be
compared t with standing by and
watching your house burn down,
and no insurance on same, without
trying to put it out. \
