Hixon is chairman, meets every requirement of the state of Georgia, insofar as poisonous qualities are concerned. This emphatic statement was made here today by George I. Marshall, following receipt'of a report made by Law & Co., commercial, chem ists, of Atlanta and Wilmington, N. C., who analyzed a sample of Dow & Co.’s poison at the request of an Americus manufacturing cos cern. Law & Co., are chemists reg ularly employed by the Americus Oil Co., asd the analysis was made >at the request of officials of that company co-operating with the coun ty agent. The result of the analysis, as re ported by Daw & Co., shows the poison furnished contains the fol lowing ingredients: Total Arfeenic Pentroxide (as 205) 43.10 per cent Water Soluble Arsenic Pentoxide (as 205) 0.21 per cent. Density (Cu. in. per lb.) 88. These figu/es compare with the following requirements of the state board for poison to be used in dust ing cotton fields for control of boll weevil; Total Arsenic Pentoxide (as 205) not less than 40 per cent. Water Soluble Pentoxide (as 205) not more than 0.75 per cent. Density Cu. in. per lb. () Not less thas 80 nor more than 100 Publication of these figures was authorized this afternoon by both Judge Hixon and County Agent Marshall and farmers are requested by them to familiarize themselves with the report “We just wanted to be sure that the dust will kill.” said Marshall this afternoon. “We are in this fight to win and we wern’t taking any chances. That is just why we wanted to be sure. We are not going to sell a single pound of poisos that won't kill the weevil. WeW have won the confidence of farmers who are depenidng on this committee to look after details of the poisosing plan, and we are not going to fall down on our part of the job. “The poison the committee is put ting out—the same poison the com mittee has put out from the begin ning—will kill the weevil. This report from Law & Co., shows this beyond all doubt Farmers who apply this poison properly need have no fear for results Just keep putting the poison, and if existing ideal weather conditions continue Sumter county will market a good crop this fall. I honestly believe we have the weevil licked up to this time in all parts of the county.” BALDWIN OFFICERS DESTROY STILLS MILLEDGEVILLE, June 21 Two stills and a large quantity of , beer were taken here Tuesday in, a raid by Sheriffs.
