LEMS WITH ANYONE WANT

Poisoning Tobacco
There has been much said and
much asked about poisoning tobacco.
It is a thing every fanner should
study very carefully as some poisons
are excellent under certain condtions,
while other are better under others.
Paris green was the first of the
poisons used extensively, but was al
ways objectionable as it would wash
down nto patches on the leaves and
often burn them in spots. Especially
after suckering the tobacco there is
danger in the use of paris green as
it often burns and weakens the leaf
stem when applied at this time.
Arsenate of lead is probably the
all round safest poison to use. But
many are uTTuting it to where they
are not getting results as they should.
Killing only a portion of the worms
helps, but a 98 per cent, killing re
duces the worm damage to a very
ngligent matter. Ths can only be
done by using 4 to 5 pounds of ar
ssnate of lead to th acre of tobacco.
Even on small tobacco, for the horn
worm, 3 pounds should be used. This
poison should not be diluted more
than an equal volume of
LIME AND ARSENATE OF LEAD
WHEN POISONING FOR THE
HORN WORM. This mixture should
then be applied so as to get the cor
rect amount of arsenate of lead to
the tobacco. The extra weight of
lime or ashes is not good for poison
ing worms. The only reason we say
to use it is to make the poison dis
tribute more evenly. IT IS BETTER
TO DUST THAN SPRAY, but if you
wish to spray use three to four
pounds of arsenate of lead to 100
gallons of water.
Calcium arsenate of a high grade
can be used succssfully in poisoning
for the horn worms. It can be used
either diluted with an equal amount
of lime, air-slacked, or just as it
comes from the cans. Some of the
companies are putting out special
grades of calcium arsenate which
run Very low In water solubility.
These are usually safer with tobacco.
DO NOT USE CALCIUM ARSEN
ATE DURING A WET SPELL OR
WHfeN THE LEAVES OF THE TO
BACCO ARE WET. Do not use as
a liquid spray.
Using some of the above named
poisons as a liquid spray is more dif
ficult and is not as effective as the
dust covers the leaves more thorough
lv Also the poisons do not dissolve
readily in water and if you do not
keep them well stirred, the poison
settles to the bottom and the spray
will not be strong enough to kill.
Next Poultry Car
Thursday, June 2
The close of the poultry car season
is approaching, according to County
Atrent Garner in announcing the next
poultry cor for Juno 2. Ho ur*cr
tho fattening of all honr and fr.ers

er arrives so many die in handling
that it is necessary to discontinue the
cars.
The car will arrive here on the
afternoon of Thursday, June 2. M •
Garner states that the cars h y
ever arrive in the mornings, and it is
not necessary to bring in poultry be
fore the afternoon.
It is true love if it endures after
hearing her describe 82,942 differ
ent things as “perfectly prec.ous.

OF THIS ORDER TO ENCOUR

PRESENTED TO CONSOLIDAT
ED SCHOOL AT LYONS.
Columbus E. Alexander, Savannah
lawyer and high in the councils of
the Junior Order of United Ameri
can Mechanics, made the principal
address at the flag cere
monials held at the Vidalia Public
Schools last Thursday afternoon.
Prof. Downs, superintendent, re
sponded in a most cordial manner.
The pupils sang patriotic songs, be
fore and after flag-raising ceremon
ials. The events, in each instance,
were most impressive.
Mr. Alexander was requested by
the lodge officials to make the pre
sentation addresses. He was ac
companied on the trip by F. E. Davis,
councillor; Robert I. Love and Capt.
E. C. Daniels. During his talks he
explained that it is the policy of the
J. O. A. M. to present flags to schools
to encourage patriotic ideals. He
emphasized the history of the Ameri
can flag and told the pupils, briefly,
of the aspirations and accomplish
ments of which it is the emblem.
This is the fifth flag presented by
this district of the Junior Order of
United American Mechanics this
I
spring 1 .
The flag, which is 5 by 8 felt
woolen bunting, and the beautiful
Morocco bound volume of the Bible,
were received with grace and appro
priate response.
| Mr. Alexander, who is representa
tive of Chatham county in the legista
, ture, explained efforts of the order
to promote the interests of the pub
lic schools, saying in part, “The Jun
ior Order affirms its devotion to the
public school system, and a pure
Americanism. The principles of the
Junior Order are that all immigrants
i are welcome who desire to better
their condition and become a part of
our nationality, but we have no room
1 for the undesirable imigrant who is
not willing to bow allegiance to our
Hag, which is powerful enough to
shield and protect them as well as
us, in the exercise of all civil and re
ligious liberty.”
