“IT'S A WINNER”
Washington, July 18.—An allotment
of 1,080,00 p unds of picric add has
been made to the state of Georgia'o i
of the lot of 12,500,000 pounds avail
able lor distribution by the Bureau of
Public Roads, the acid being a sur
plus war explosive suitable for use in
clearing stumps and stenoa from ag-
rcniltvirhl lands. Tho bureau today in
terned Senator William J. Harris o£
their plans to dispose cf the acid. The
bureau gave an estimate that Georgia
had 20,141,000 acres of cultover land,
and t' o acid is to bo distributed D-r
tho purpose of s imulating interest in
land clearing.
Tho distribution of the material
will be made in each state through
the state agricultural college, or if
tho college is linable to act in tho
capacity of cooperating agency wit.i
tho federal bureau, thro: gh each
"ate, county or other agency as may
be agreed upon. The cooperating
HE* n - . will set-arc individual order .=
f: r picric acid, consolidate them into
•varloud orders, end ftrward tho lat
ter to the Bure, i of Public Roads,
it Washington. T.o bureau will
not ro Ive individual orders or re-
i'tit-ncea for picric acid, and no laud*
■ nor, vrh.V.hcr < • rp ration, -compan
r iadivlCual, will be sold more thar.
1000 pounds of picric acid. *
The r.i'ner.il is located at Sparta,
Wis., : nd Ft. Wingate, Now Mexico.
The parties ordering _the picric a- '
will be required to pay the freight.
Six cents per pound is tr.e eo:-t by
ths government with permission for
a contingency charge of l- cent per
pound for the cooperating agency to
u--c in cover'll 7 the costs of hapdluL.-
The gore.-nmaat estimates tlu-.i tbs'
. c.'d will m-. u an nvsrago net moat

frei.((.t. The minimum carload

p- !nts to Charlestcn, S. C,
Tho biirecl today expressed th--
ope that the Geoigia State Agri ui-
tural College, at Athens, Ga, would
ba tho cooperating . gonny for Geor
gia. l. was stated that the bureau
had i-■■lied for n definite answer from
the caUc-ge officials, and because cf
the known interest it is believed the
stato college will assume tho trik
of distributing t :c picric ac id in G <r-
gia.
■ Senator Harris said that the bureau
inf nn-s.l him these allotments of
acid to the various states will be held
for the use cf tho several state -, un
til May J, 1922, at which time r.ny
allotments that have not 1 - n tnken
up will be cancelled and such dlr-
tribt tion as sce.nis most equitable
will bo made of the remaining acid.
l’icrlc acid is a hgli explosive which
was used in largo quantities by t if
and other coountries during the world
war. It is a ccmparalivoly safe high
explosive, being more inconsitive to
shock or impact than aro the eonimer
cial explosives, but i is slightly more
sensitive to shock than TNT. It is
difficult to ignite and will burn, at
least in small quantites, without ex-
plcding^ Because of Its high cost
of manufature, its Insenslttvene:-r.
and its rapidity of detonation it can
not be classed as an agricultural ex
plosive, but ns a salvaged war nm-
terlal its uee Is recommended to those
fanners who can obtain it at a cost
less than that of commercial explosi
ves. ' 4f ?
The acid has been prepared for dl -
trill ,tlon by drying an.l packing In
double-dipped paraffined cartridges
weighing six ounces. The cartridges
are packed in wooden hox-s each
containing loo pounds of picric acid.

L. E. SWAIN,
County Agent,
During the past few weeks ti ere
has bc-nn considerable interest in
eertr.n portions • f tho cotton belt i il
lative to ti e possibility of pok-oning
tho c-olton boll weevil by using a
mixture of molasses, calcium arsen
ate and water. Numerous inqulrie
have been received cincoming the
efficacy of such a mixture and so
in; ay reports were noted of excellent
re-alts being secured in field use
that it v.aa deemed desirable to give
the quesUcn rather serious ccnsldora
t on. No experiments had been co'n-
duiled by the Department of Agri
culture v. fth, this particular mixture
but years ag numerous testa were
con' it-I to determine tho possibili
ty of attracting weevils with a large
number of sweets including molasses
and the results were generally nega
tive. although there were a few in
stances cf a very slight regroe of
attraction b.-ing shown. In view of
these results it had seemed useless
to i-i nduct any further tests along
this lino until the present Interest
developed.
The first series of tests consisted
•of cage studies comparing the weevil
mortality on plants treated with the
molasses, mixture, plain dusted cal
cium arsenate and also unpolsoned
check plats, \ai-iou3 Concentre
tieii3 and amounts of the moleasos
mixip re were tested and the entire
series was repeated five times. In
all a total of 86 different cage tests,
involving the u«o of about 1200 wee
vils, .were included in these series
The first tost conducted showed the
average mortality produced by tin-
molasses mixture to bo exactly the
sriiue as that of dusted calcium ar
senate. The second showed the dus
ted calcium arsenate to bo superior,
while the third series indicated about
an equal superiority of the molasses
mixture. Tho fourth test was slight
ly in favor cf the dusted calcium
arsenate while the fifth showed tlio
■two preparations to have ubout an
equal degree of toxicity. The av
erage cf the entire series showed the
mortality In all cages treated with
■lusted calcium arsenate to lie exact
ly tile scime as that In l!:e cages
treated with tho molasses mixture.
Teats of different amounts if the
molas as mixture and also variations
in the distribution over the plant
showed piactlcally' no relation be
tween these variants and the result
ant' mortality. In other word the
vveevhl m> rtallty was practically as
great in the cage receiving the light;
cut dosage as in those receiving the
heaviest,
T e next series of lests ware con
ducted on more nerrly a f old basis.
For the purpase of these teals five
rows of cotton were 'treated with the
to: 1. os mixture, tlio next five with
dusted calcium arsenate and thp
next live loft untreated as a chock.
These t' ree conditions were repeated
three times in each experiment,
thus making a total of 1.7 rows re
ceiving e • h typo of treatment In
each to :t. The entire lest was re-
pouted t ' r times under different
field ccnditions. After the treat
ment these rows were examined care
fully once a day for three days anil
the number of live weevils found on
each gpw was carefully noted. The
first series showed a ver- definite
control refietion for the molasses
mixture and indicated that much
benefit had been derived from the
application. Of the remaining three
series, however, two sH wed more
mortality In the rows treated wltl
calcium arsenate than in those treat
ed with the molasses mixture. Ii
tho four series as a whole there it
no strik'ng difference between the
different treatments.
To secure a still further check
from tills subject a series of field
plat tests were started, uniform cuts
being surveyed, divided In half and
ne-half treated with dusted calcl m
arsenate while the other was treated
with the molasses mixture. Those
tests are still r.Oder way but tho re
sult.; to date are of interest. Tho
ceutral Id rows In each plat have
