Experiments in the use of calcium
arsenate in the control of boll wee
vil i§ rec'ommended by George O. Mar
shall, county agent, in a statement
given out today containing infor
mation upon application of this chem
ical. Said Mr. Marshall:
“The Bureau of Entomology has used
the following method with good re
sults for four years in Louisiana, but
they have not recommended it gener
ally because some details of the best
method application have not yet been
determined.
"Calcium arsenate will not eradicate
the weevil, but may be used as a
control measure to keep weevil infes
tation below the point of damage. Cot
ton sheds, normally, about 25 to 30
per cent of the forms that appear.
The object in using poison is to keep
the weevils under control so that
shedding from weevil puncture is not
greater than 25 per cent.
“The best method, then is to begin
to apply the poison when an average
of 25 squares in every hundred are
punctured and repeat the application
often enough to keep the damage that
low.
“Calcium arsenate is a finely divid
ed powder and is to be apllied as a
dust and not to be dissolved and
used as a spray. It will take about
five pounds per acre at each applica
tion and it will take about four appli
cations under average conditions to
keep the weevil under control. The
interval between applications will de
pend on the amount and the frequen
cy of rainfall and the rapidity of leaf
growth. Rain will wash the powder off
if it falls within thirty six hours after
application and it should be applied
again immediately. If no rain falls,
the powder will remain for several
weeks, but a new growth of leaves
would appear in that time and need
to he covered. Ordinarily one appli
cation every ten days or two weeks
will be found to give best results.
Late applications will give relatively
greater results than the earlier appli
cations. A hand dust gun that will
take care of twelve to fifteen acres,
is on the market.
“According to experiments made
at the Delta Laboratory, there appears
to be great promise in calcium arsen
ate for control of the weevil. Calcium
arsenate is on the market about forty
cents per pound, which means a cost
of $2 per acre for material for each

Motor Corps Women
ATLANTA, June 4.—Since the order
has gone forth for the demobilization
of the Motor corps of women, mem
bers of the automobile corps are fac
ing the necessity for readjusting them
selves to the requirements of the fem
inine cpstume.
Women who have been literally
laggering around in the high boots
1 knee length skirts which consti
e the masculine like uniform of the
tor corps, find that they must learn
v to restrain their stride to femi
ie skirts that are ankle length and
ly one yard and ten inches around
bottom.
The effort is said to be somewhat
ing, and the attendant discomfort
y start a reform in women’s styles.

thing of it. In itself we may be al

all that has taken place immutably,
in which tomorrow, save in the ephe

Tail of the Fox.
One of the most notable features of
the fox is his large and massive tail,
writes John Burroughs. Seen running
on the snow at a distance, his tail is
quite as conspicuous as his body; and,
so far as appearing a burden, seems to
contribute to his lightness and buoy
ancy. It softens the outline of his
movements, and repeats or continues
to the eye the ease and poise of his
carriage.
