Tune 29.—Governor Thomas
Hardwick’s message to the 1922
v of the General Assembly, de
Sin .inn today Is prob
person at noon
wv one of the most non-political docu
of the kind ever presented to
assembly by a governor. In It there
“ n “issues.” The paper deals
Solly no statecraft In very serious
with a
1
vein and may be properly divided un¬
der two distinct yet complete headings;
,iz.: the fiscal affairs of the state, their
tatus; the insistent prayer for the cre
tion of a practical business policy in
andling the states affairs.
The governor deals exhaustively
with the question of taxation, using
emphasis in the declaration that he
never has been and is not now willing
to tear down one piece of necessary
operating machinery until there has
been created something to function in
ts place. It Is on that basis he deal3
ith the tax equalization law and the
ubject of a substitute In the form of a
new system, of which he says: ‘‘I
propose that the state shall abandon
the field of property taxation on the ad
~alorem basis,” and, as the substitute
machinery which he offers, “in lieu
f the property tax for state purposes
nd as a substitute for it, propose a
raduated income tax.”
Financially he shows that the state
aced, January 1, 1921, an actual de
icit of $2,500,000 which would have
een a deficit of $3,000,000 In Decem
er of that year but for measures
dopted to prevent it. The state now
wes on “unpaid balances” on 1921
ppropriatlons $63,740, for which re
ulsitions will be paid when they are
roperly drawn. In connection witB
be financial showing he draws atten
on to the provision by law that one
alf of all the state’s income, when it
xceeds $8,500,000, shall be set aside
or the public schools. To follow this
equirement, he shows, would make It
©possible, by one-third, for the state
o pay the appropriation as made and,
or well defined reasons he gives, the
ecommendation is made that this
lause be repealed.
Tbe Governor shows the total appro
nations made for 1921 were $10,886,
this tot al was cut down to
for *^22, a reduction
‘ $1,434,567.
Tbe governor urges upon the legisla
e a close investigation of every
ard bureau and commission and, un
r.g® DOlish every stress useless of conditions, that “we
ry pay-roll place, purge ev
of every useless official. He
commends the department of ar

How to Use Calcium Arsenate
MANY FARMERS ARE USING CALCIUM ARSENATE WRONG
There are a few definite rules that you have got to follow exactly if you
any results.
You can’t apply Calcium Aresnate once a week and expect good results.
has got to he applied every four days, if the weather will permit.
Applying arsenate with a guano horn or a bucket on young cotton before
has as many as four squares has already given good results this year,
those that have cotton this size will find it profitable to dust the plant.
If your cotton is knee high and has over four or five squares you should
the arsenate with a dust gun. To get the l est results on cotton this
you have got to blow the arsenate on so that it will cover the entire
Dusting it on with a guano horn can’t possibly give you a good distri
The results from applying with dust gun will in most cases be 75
cent greater than the results gotten by using guano horn.
The weevil gets the arsenate in his water which he drinks. Therefore
the entire plant with arsenate, so that if he drinks water from any
part of the plant, he will get some of the poison.
Where it is dusted only on top of the bud and two leaves your chance of
getting the weevil poisoned is lessened’ as the weevil drinks from all the
different parts of the plant, and not just from the top leaves and bud.
Early dusting with the guano horn has paid, but now we have got to ap¬
ply it with dust gun every four days for four applications if we keep the
weevil under control.
It will cost between four and five dollars to do this, but it will be profitable
to you if you do it right and have cotton on land that will make 1-2 bale to
the acre.
Applying it any other way will not pay now. If you use it wrong and
don’t get results, don’t cuss the arsenate, but take the blame yourself.
