AIRPLANES WAGE WAR ON BOLL WEEVIL'
POISON GAS TRAILED FROM
PLANES AID IN KILLING OFF
SOUTHERN COTTON PEST
MEMPHIS, Tenn.-, Sept. 28.—War to the death with airplanes
»nd poison gas barrages against the southern cotton pests—th?
weevil and the pink boll worm —has enterecd the first stages or
battle in the south.
Cotton farmers are already seeing ;
the saving of crops through this ,
fight being made by the army air
Add io this the scheduled Oct; 3
meeting of governors and three rep- !
rerentatives Irom each of the 12 ;
cotton states, to consider plans for |
enuring uniform legislation for con- :
tro l of the boll weevil and the pink
boll worm, ami there is plenty' of
-cason for rejoicing over the cotton
situation, say Southern planters.
The cotton pests came into the
United States from Mexico a few |
veins ago. Each year the amount .
of cotton destroyed has grown, un-!
t j t the South., as a whole, reports ;
from third to two-thirds crops loss !
after each planting.
Many Efforts Fail. :
Hundreds of various plans have i
been tried out in an effort to head j
off the weevil and the worm. AH
have been failures.
Then, from Congressman Wilson
of the Fifth Louisiana district) and
8 R Coad, in charge of the Delta ;
laborator v of the Department of Ag
riculture, the hunch for an
aerial attack.
Calcium arsenate is fed into the
draft of the airplane propeller as it
flies low over the cotton fields. The
tremendous rush of air in the wake
of the plane spreads the poison on
the cotton plant's with such force,
and it is driven into the cotton plant
leaves.
To the boll worm and the weevil
it is a deadly poison and within a
few years, if this plan is thoroughly
carried out, Coad believes the cotton
pest will be wiped out.
Community Poisoning.
The general plan is to have every
community secure a plane, through
co-operation with the government.
Coad points out that there are many '
army planes which are go longer of
any military use. In hist report to
Washington of the first experiments
I he said in part:
k ‘‘With two planes detailed by the
service I believe we have dcinon
< stinted that the airplane can be suc
cessfully used for insect control.
Results of the poisoning .have
bien so exceptionally good, that
many districts are ready to under
take community poisoning.
Community poisoning is much
mine effectual than individual ef
forts because it practically elimi
nates the necessity for the late sum-

ly palms, which fortned a rich foli

eries. Her flowers were pink asters.
Little Catherine Smith, dressed in
a dainty flesh organdie trimmed
with French roses, tripping in like
a fairy, scattered rose petals in the
■ path of the bride who entered on
-the arm of her father.
f The bride was lovely in a wedding
i gown of crepe back satin ornament
jed with seed pearls. The veil was
I caught to her dark hair with a silver
I bandeau and orange blossoms. She
( carried a shower bouquet of bride’s
j roses and valley lilies.
I They were met at the altar by the
; groom and his best man, Henry Al-
I len, of Macon, formerly of Americus.
Dr. Carl W. Minor, pastor of the
' First Baptist church, received the
‘ vows of the young couple with the
; beautiful ring ceremony. At this
