PHONING EFFECTIVE SUMTER FM SHOWS Continued From Page One) daubed with a liquid poison mix ture. Both stalks were thoroughly enclosed to prevent escape of the weevils, and a close watch was kept upon the insects after this had been done. Within four hours, the weevils placed upon the stalk treated with the liquid mixture showed effects of the poison. Two of these were “down,” with one of them apparent ly dead. The other two clung ten aciously to the cotton, but appeared increasingly inactive and feeble. The weevils placed upon the stalks treated with dry calcium ar senate were a little longer show ing the effects of the poison, but .all of these had collapsed and died within six hours, or approximately the same time required to kill the weevils placed on the liquid-treated stalk. The weevils placed on both stalks died alike within a six-hour period, when all were found dead upon the ground beside the plant. The result of the experiment, it was concluded, demonstrates conclusively the ef fectiveness of both methods of ap plying the poison thoroughly with whatever method be used. THAD B.

The “Gentlemen’s agreement under which the state of Georgia is the recipient of $50,000 from tne Rockefeller Foundation for educa tional purposes must be reduced to a more formal written statement before Attorney General George H.
