HUNDREDS HEAR ’ DEW'S TALK (Continued From Page One) > day intervals until four applica tions of calcium arsenate have been made. In this manner, Dr. DeLoach claims, the weevils are practically destroyed before the squares begin to form, and therefore the weevil; cannot destroy the first squares. While a new crop of weevils is being hatched out, the first squares mature and the cotton thus maue is safe from ravages of the weevil. In addition, there is the vast reduction in numbers securea through the early poisoning of the weevil. A field infested as few as twenty-five weevils—a number so small as to usually escape detec tion even by the most keen-eyed of inspectors—will have, easily 7,500 weevils within twenty days, unless these first twenty-five are poison ed, and the 7,500 will multiply themselves thre hundred times, within an even shorter time than twenty days during the hot sea son that follows the first hatching period, according to Dr. DeLoach This illustrates the necessity for destroying the first weevils, or rather the advantage to be secured by their destruction, for all along it has been recognized that the sooner the weevil is poisoned the Jess damage the insect is capable of doing. As to picking up squares, Dr. DeLoach asserts this is most impor i tant throughout the poisoning sea son. Between the time the first ' square begin to form and the end of the first poisoning period, .twenty days later every square that falls to the ground probably con tains a grub that will hatch out into , a weevil unless it is destroyed, and Dr. DeLoach 'believes all of these .should be picked up and burned. Plowing under isn’t a certain method, he says, no uncertainly can be permitted in the fight on the boll weevil. If uncertanties are dealt in, he believes, the one certain thing is that the weevil will destroy the cotton crop. “Nothing should be permitted to interfere with the poisoning oper ations,” says Dr. DeLoach. “This is more important even than chop ping out cotton. If a choice must be made between chopping or poisoning one’s cotton, let the chopping go,” he says. And speak ing along this line Dr. DeLoach cited one or more instances where in farmers who ommitted chopping their cotton in order to get pois on into their plants succeeded in producing more than a bale to an acre, this experience being con firmed by L. G. Council, who was present and recalled having read an authoritative article bear ing upon the subject in which a similar experience was related. Eight hours is enough time in which to poison the weevil, and with calm, dry weather over such a period, Dr. DeLoach says the weevil can be effectually poison ed through the use of dry calcium arensate. It makes no diference whether the poison be applied dur ing the day or night, in his opinion the essential thing is to poison the weevil, and if the poison covers the cotton plants thoroughly, one is very apt to secure 100 per cent results through the dry calcium arsenate poisoning method, he says. Whenever . rain interferes with poisoning, or descends within 8 hours in quantities sufficient to wash the poison from the plant, then the poisoning process should be repeated immediately As to the analysis of calcium arsenate to be used. Dr. DeLoach said this is covered by Georgia law. I oison to be effective must con tain at least 40 er cent arsenius pent-oxide, with a filler of some sort of calcium properly ground absorption by the weevil. The law on this point, he ex plained, could properly be amend ed to provide the fineness to which the calcium should be ground and also so as to prescribe the exact fillers that may be used in the manufacture of calcium arsenate in tended for sale for agricultural uses As is well known, white arsenic is the active poisonous element in all calcium arsenate, Dr. DeLoaeh told his hearers. TO PUT EXTRA SPAN OVER LITTLE RIVER MOULTRIE, April 9.—County Warden Jim Nelson’ says that if the weather man will give him a chance, he will soon have a fine road from Tifton to Ty Ty over the Upper Ty Ty road. On account of the high water re cently, it was decided to put in an other span of bridge across Little river, and it is expected that this work will be completed within sixty days. Under the original plan, only one span was to be put across the river, but due to the excessive rains another span of forty feet on the cast side of the larger span would be wise, an dthis extra bridge is now being put in. Mr. and Mrs, IL J. Williams, of Ellaville; were visitors in Americus today. THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER True Mother Love! Hiwi ft » Mrs. Margaret Young, of Bil lings, Mont., has offered her body “for sale for any moral pur pose.” She needs the money for her children. She wants them to have good educations and the same advantages other “kids” have. And this is the only way she knows out of it. With the money—if somebody takes up her proposition—she will take a course in beauty culture and open a shop at her home. $50,000 IN THOMAS CO. BONDS SOON TO BE SOLD THOMASVILLE, April 9.—The County Comissioners will be given a report of the projected sale of fifty thousand Thomas county bonds at the next meeting. This sale was authorized and the finance committee handled the matter for the board. There were several bids for the bonds but they were awarded to the Lowry Banking and Trust Company of Georgia at a fig ure slightly in excess of other bids. The Lowry bid was $52,011 and the Robinson Humphrey Com pany $51,935. Those are part of the road bonds of Thomas county! bearing five per cent. The bid ac- i cepted was the Lowery bid, which carries with it the payment of ac crued interest up to the time of delivery, which will probably be ar ranged for this month. This makes a total of $250,000 of a bond is sue of $700,000 sold, and put into permanent roadwork in the county.

His accidental rise from a vendor of peanuts and lemonade to the hit of the circuit makes one of the best screen stories that has yet been given to the pop ular young star. Several of the country’s lead ing circuses, wintering in Califor nia, were used in the making of many of the scenes and* the “big top” atmosphere, it is sa’d, was never more faithfully registered on the screen. A strong cast appears in support of Jackie. Peaches Jackson a di minutive child actress, who por trays the role of Jeannette, tiny equestrienne, is to be seen as his leading lady. Barbara Tennant plays the role of Toby Tyler’s widowed mother. Cesare Cravini, who was the old musician with Jackie Coogan in “Daddy,” is again to be seen with the little star, this time as Luigi, an old clown, who befriends the runaway lad. In addition to “the world’s fat test woman” and “the World’s skinniest man,” namely Nellie Lane and William Barlow, the cast boasts such celebrities as Russell Simpson, Claire McDowell , Sam De Grasse and De Witt Jennings. In production, which is hailed as the most lavish in which Jackie has yet appeared was made under the direction of Eddie Cline. Most of the wrinkles in our faces are caused by worrying over things that never will happen or never 1 have happened. KNIGHTS TEMPLAR NOTICE ■■O DeMolay Commandery No. 5, Knights Templar.
