WHY WORRY
ABOUT COTTON
PRODUCTION?
Dr. Holliday’s Arsenic Meal
Solves the 801 l Weevil
Problem-
Ail cotton grodrers agree that ar
senic is the best known poison for
exterminating the boll weevil. The
great problem has been to find the
best method by which to apply this
poison so that it will stay on the cot.
ton plant, attract and kill the wee
vil, and not injure the plant. It was
an effort to solve this problem that
brought discovery of Arsenic Meal
—the perfected arsenic compound.
Dr. Holliday set out to find the
best method of exterminating the
boll Weevils in his own cotton fields.
He gave the subject much thought
and study, tried the various poisons
now on the market, made many ex
periments, before he finally discov
ered the formula that proved such c
revelation. He had no thought at
the time of marketing his compound,
but his great success convinced him
that he should do so, for after the
remedy had been applied not-* wee
vil was found alive. • •
The yield of cotton was as great
as it had ever been on the same land
before the coming of the weevil.
Artenic Meal Has Many Advantage*
Arsenic Meal is made up of sev
eral ingredients, each of which has
a definite duty to perform. One of
the ingredients is for the purpose of
attracting the weevil—another is to
satisfy his taste. It is an established
fact that the weevil has the faculties
of taste and smell, and it is through
these that he is drawn to his death.
Another very important ingredi
ent gives unusual adhesive qualities.
When applied to the plant it stays
on—even in wet weather.
Arsenic Meal is put up in dry
form and is to be mixed with syrup
and water just before applying. This
is a decided advantage for two
reasons, —it saves freight rates and
>any fresh mixture is preferable to
an old one. Old mixtures often pro
duce an acid thta scalds and injures
the plant.
Arsenic Meal will not injure the
plant.
A fine sediment will be found in
Arsenic Meal when made into a mix.
ture with water and syrup. This sed
iment remains in suspension while
being applied and each fine particle
(being saturated with arsenic, settles
on the plant acting as a constant
poison.
Arsenic Meal loses none of its use
fulness after drying on the plant. On
the contrary, having hygroscopic
qualities, it attracts moisture from
the early morning atmosphere which
freshens it up for another day’s
wor.

THE GLAD SEASON.
Than this season, which through
the centuries has been known a* sum
mer, there is none more welcome,
none greeted with greater acclaim
from young and old and none-so abun
dantly endowed with gifts for hu
manity.
Let Lawrenceville dedicate this new
season to health and happiness. By
its very na(ure this season above all i
was provided for mankind. It is the
season for work and pllsy but pri
marily for being out-of-doors. There
is a driving energy that is to be ab
sorbed from that summer surl that the
world of toil may survive the rigors
and labor of the other three months
of the year.
Humanity might prefer that , the
season of summer should be one ..of
surcease from all work and yet
healthy men and women luxuriate in
the streaming perspiration of hot
weather work. Perspiration is a con
comitant of toil. Sometimes are not
the watery beads on man’s brow one
of the rewards of honest toil ?
From now until fall young and old
Americans will tour? hike, motor,
swim, camp, boat, golf and enter into
every sport known to us. From all
this they will return to school, office,
factory, store and kitchen in the fall
with strong lungs, sturdy muscles,
clear minds and unbounded energy.
While hot weather is reducing your
weight it is increasing your physical
endurance and strengthening your
hold on life.
