Be a Booster for Perry and Houston County j CANADA AT WAR IN MARCH OF TIME FILM Although life in the Dominion 'of Canada is little changed out- I wardly today, Canada-at- War of- IfersU. S. citizens the nearest thing possible to a “blueprint” lof what life in the United States might be like if this country were involved in the current! European war. With civilian, military, and industrial mobilization fully ac complished, Canada’s war with Germany is already being con ducted with a degree of efficiency achieved in the last war only af ter three years of bitter fight ing. But today, according to the | latest March of Time film, “Can ada at War”, the Dominion is participating chiefly as a vast Allied supply depot rather than as a source of manpower. On the “Home Front”, every Canadian citizen is contributing his or htr full share in the na tion’s war effort. The Govern ment’s initial $200,000,000 war loan was over-subscribed by $130,000,000; the Canadian Red Cross, with nearly 3,000 chap ters, has enlisted the aid of hun dreds of thousands of people; and the revival of military cen sorship is being viewed only as a necessary nuisance in the diffi cult and distasteful business of v.'ar. In the event of long-continued conflict, The March of Time points out, Canada’s almost in exhaustible wealth of resources and the possibilities for expand ing its industries make it a vital source of supply far removed from the theatres of war. Even now. the film shows, an endless flow of war supplies is pourine out of Canadian mines, mills, I fields and factories, moving steadily over the Dominion’s ef ficient railroads to her busy At lantic seaports, to be shipped under heavy convoy to Europe. This film will be shown at the Princess Theatre next Monday and Tuesday, June 17-18.

POISON WEEVILS TO AID COTTON INCOME 801 l weevil control in produc tion of cotton will provide extra money for farmers who carry out poisoning schedules along with other recommended prac tices in producing quality lint, County Agent W. T. Middle brooks said this week. “Experience of farmers and experiment station results show that two or three pre-square ap plications of freshly mixed mo lasses and calcium arsenate mix ture will kill most boll weevils that live over winter,” the coun ty agent explained. “The mix ture should be made in propor tion of one pound of calcium ar senate. one gallon of water, and one gallon of molasses. “If a good job is done with the sweetened poison, a good crop of cotton may be produced if the weather is hot and fairly dry,” he continued. “Further poisoning, if necessary, should be in dust form.” Mr. JVliddlebrooks said it will pay to poison cotton after squares begin to form if the infestation is heavy, provided the land is capable of producing a sufficient ly high yield to make the in crease profitable.
