How to Control the 801 l Weevil
By Dusting With Calcium Arsenate
J WASHINGTON, D. C.—The season
j is at hand when the cotton farmer
! will watch his profits falling to the
j ground in punctured “squares," the
work of the boll weevil. Fortuntely,
however, the farmer is less helpless
than he used to be. It is possible
to control the boll weevil, the United
States department of agriculture has
■ found after long experimentation, by
dusting the plants with calcium arse-
I nate. An adequate supply of the
i chemical is obtainable this year, and
| considerable dusting machinery is
| available, though not sufficient to
i meet the needs.
It should be borne in mind, the
specialists say, that in poisoning for
boll weevil control, extermination is
not secured and should not be at
tempted. The result aimed at is a
sufficient reduction of the weevil in
festation to permit maturing a full
crop of cotton. About 60 per cent of
the squares fall before reaching ma
turity even in the absence of weevils.
The present system of weevil poison
ing is expected to ’keep the weevils
controlled to such an extent that they
will no more than offset the normal
shedding—will puncture only about
as many squares as would have fallen
in any event. This means, usually,
that the weevils are permitted to mul
tiply unmolested until they become
sufficiently numerous to puncture
more forms than would shed normal
ly. Poisoning is then started and
continued until the plants have had
time to develop as many bolls as they
will be able to mature. Poisoning
is then stopped and the weevils are
allowed to resume multiplication.
Remarkably large increases in yield
frequently result from a compara
tively slight degree of control for a
short time. The effect is cumulative,
however, and can only be secured
by starting the applications at the
right time and repeating them at the
correct intervals. The specialists
urge planters to conduct the opera
tion thoroughly or not to attempt
it at all.
Have Polson Tested
The right kind of poison is dry
powdered calcium arsenate contain
ing not less than 40 per cent arsenic
pentoxid and having a density of not
less than 80 and not more than 100
cubic inches to the pound. To be
sure that It is right, samples should
be sent to the department’s Delta
laboratory, at Tallaluh, La. An im
mediate report will be furnished
shewing whether or not the material
is satisfactory for cotton dusting. It
is of the greatest importance to be
sure that the material is right. If it
contains too little arsenic, it will not
kill the .weevils. If it contains too
much water soluble arsenic, it will
kill or injure the plants. Mixtures
of all kinds are condemned. Calcium
arsenate may be kept as long as four
years if it is stored in a dry place.
There is always the possibility of
poisoning both men and horses work
ing in calcium arsenate dust. Though
no serious injury has ever been re
ported, the specialists urge the tak
ing of all reasonable precautions.
Personal cleanliness is the most im
portant. Operators should be re
quired to bathe as soon as they have
completed the dusting work, and
under no circumstances should they
be permitted to eat or drink without
washing their hands and faces with
soap and water. Horses and mules
used to pull the dusting machines
should be muzzled to prevent the
possibility of poisoning by eating
grass and weeds along the rows.
Generally speaking, at least five
pounds of calcium arsenate per acre
should be used.
The best time to dust is when the
humidity is high, the air calm and
the plants moist with dew. It is
necessary that every portion of the
cotton plant be covered by the fine
particles of poison dust, and this
cannot be done when the wind is
high or the plants dry. It is usual
ly necessary, therefore, to do nearly
all of the dusting work at night,
early in the morning or late in the
evening.
Three Applications Usually Sufficient
The first application should be
made when the weevil injury reaches
10 to 15 per cent of the bolls, and
the effort should be to hold it below
25 per cent. The poison reaches and
kills only the adult weevils and has
no effect whatever on the immature
stages developing in the bolls and
squares. Three applications are usu
ally sufficient to effect the desired
measure of control. They should be
about four days apart. Poisoning
should not be attempted except un
der conditions that will justify a
sufficient machinery outlay to go over
all the cotton poisoned at about four
day intervals. It is advisable to re
peat an application immediately if a
drenching rain falls within twenty
four hours after treatment.
It is sometimes advisable to poison
heavily infested portions of the field
earlier in the spring. The heaviest in
festation is usually near timber or
other hibernation quarters, and early
poisoning of a few acres may greatly
reduce the infestation of the entire
field and delay considerably the ne
cessity for general poisoning.
Weevil poisoning, the specialists
say, is a plantation and not an in
dividual field proposition. It is un
safe to expect each tenant to poison
his crop. Much better results are ob
tained if the plantation management
undertakes all poisoning operations.
Three types of satisfactory dust
ing machines have been developed—
the hand gun, the wheel traction ma
chine and the engine-power machine.
A hand gun should not be expected
to cover more than fifteen acres of
cotton, and it is safer to figure on
one gun for every two acres. Even
on this basis, hand guns should not
be relied upon when there is a con
siderable acreage of cotton. The
hand gun Is of great value for early
season’ work on spots of high infesta
tion and for use in conjunction with
power machinery for treating spots
that cannot be reached ith the pow
er machine. The med.um or large
planter, therefore, needs a few hand
guns to supplement his power ma
chinery.
Cart Duster Covers 75 Acres
A wheel-traction or cart duster
can be made to take care of about
seventy-five acres. Its operation re
quires the work of a man and two
mules. It is simpler in construction
and easier to handle than the engine
power machines. This type was de
veloped by the department of agricul
ture to meet the need for a machine
between the hand gun and the engine
power duster. '
An engine-power duster, theoretic
ally, will take care of about 160 to
200 acres of cotton, but it is cumber
some and difficult to handle success
fully. A machine requires two or
more mules and two men.
i The department specialists are
working now toward the development
of a duster that can be attached to
a saddle and operated from mule
back, or a single wheel duster to be
run between the rows and drawn by
one mule.
As most of the dusting is done at
night, artificial light is necessary.
The only lighting system that has
given satisfaction is a special model
of acetylene light using a compressed
carbide cake for fuel. It is com
pactly constructed and the cart is
comparatively low.
The cost of poisoning operations
for the season may be expected to
run from $7 to $lO an acre. Gains
in seed cotton as the result of poison
ing properly done will run from 200
to 1,000 pounds.
The first question to be decided
by anyone contemplating poisoning,
the specialists say, is whether or not
his conditions are such as to enable
the operation to be profitable. The
soil is sometimes so poor that, even
if a complete normal yield were se
cured, the crop would not pay the
cost of poisoning. Regardless of
conditions, it is ordinarily best , for
a farmer to undertake poisoning at
first only a portion of his cotton, se
lecting the most fertile soil which
is subject to the heaviest weevil in
jury. A very accurate check plat
should be conducted. Without this,
the matter of gain or loss is likely to
be problematical. Several fairly uni
form cuts should be selected, subject
to about the average degree of wee
vil infestation, and only one-half of
each cut treated. A little experience
of this kind will soon make clear the
conditions under which the grower
can or can not poison profitably.
Smut Fan Saves Money,
Declares Mr. E. J. Doneen
From an insurance rate amount
ing to SBO per thousand to nothing
is quite a drop, but Mr. E. J. Doneen,
president of the Whitman County
Farmers’ Union, of Oaksdale, Wash.,
asserts that the smut-collecting fan
devised by the experts of the United
States department of agriculture has
done that for him. Moreover, his
wheat, thrashed from very smutty
grain, j, sold at a discount of
only 1 per cent.
Addressing a farmers’ meeting at
Walla Walla. Wash., Mr. Doneen
told his audience: “I started thrash
ing on the worst place on my farm,
where the grain contained from 17
to 20 per cent smut heads, and by
using the smut fan ran the smut
oui through a pipe 10 inches in
diameter. At first the smut was
simply scattered over the field, but
later we pust the end of the pipe
under the stack, thus preventing the
spread of the smut spores.
“We ran the machine for thirty
one days and had no fires or explo
sions, although there - were sixteen
explosions in the district last year,
r sold the wheat at only 1 per cent
discount, whereas without the smut
fan I would have been docked at
least 10 cents a bushel."

Home Canning Necessary This Year;
Labor in Canning Factories Scarce
Home canning—of utmost import
ance during the war—will be just as
important this year, according to
present indications as they are viewed
by the United States department of
agriculture. The shortage of labor on
the farms makes it necessary for
the canneries to pay high prices for
the commodities that will be canned
later in the season. Labor in the
canning factories is expensive and
difficult to obtain. Everything, from
cans to cartage costs, has increased
in price, and transportation is slow
and more expensive than it was in
war times. All this increase must
be paid by the ultimate consumer;
and there is not even assurance that
there will be enough canned products
to go around. The solution is home
canning.
That sugar is higher in price than
it has been hitherto is advanced by
some as a reason for canning either
less fruit or nothing but vege
tables - but unless one intends to
give up sweets altogether there
seems no good reason for not using
canned fruit on account of high-
The Wrong Way; the Right Way;
Operate Along Business Lines
To secure the greatest results, co
operative marketing enterprises must
be organized and operated along
sound business lines, say experts of
the bureau of markets, United States
department of .agriculture, who cite
two instances to prove their point.
A sweet potato co-operative mar
keting association was formed in a
New Mexico county that boasted sev
en sweet potato warehouses. Six of
these warehouses w - ere ignored in or
ganizing the association. The owner
of the seventh warehouse was per
mitted to hold 51 per cent of the
stock. With such a monopoly, this
gentleman was able to control the
business of the association, with the
result that all the sweet potatoes
were stored in his warehouse, and
the other warehousemen faced the
threat of being driven out of busi
ness. However, the seventh ware
house owner was finally made to see
the error of his ways, and through
the assistance of the field marketing
agent of the United States depart
ment of agriculture the association
has been reorganized upon a truly
co-operative basis.

Alabama Dairyman
Believes in Cow Testing
AUBURN, Ala., July B. (Spe
cial). —Reports for the month of Apr!
coming to the dairy department of
the Alabama extension service, indi
cate that 920 cows, representing
thiry-six herds in Alabama, were un
der official test during that month.
The bulk of these cows are listed
in the Canebrake Test association,
with headquarters at Demopolis, and
the Dallas County Test association,
with headquarters at Selma, the bal
ance of the cowds being listed in the
Auburn herd.
In the Canebrake association dur
ing that month there were 461 cows,
representing seventeen herds, and
three cofs had records for the pro
duction of more than 1,000 pounds of
milk, according to J. W. Bolender,
test supervisor. In the Dallas Coun
ty Test association there were 399
cows, also representing seventeen
herds, under test. Highest honors in
this test went to a Holstein cow,
“Mokenna Valeria Korndyke Segis,”
whose name is not her only mark of
distinction. Her butter-fat produc
tion for the month was 69.8 pounds,
and she is owned by P. S. Hain, re
cently elected president of the Ala
bama Dairymen’s association.
Women Cull Poultry
Slackers and Save
In Missouri last year, 73,765 birds
were eliminated from 1,593 flocks
which were culled under the supervi
sion of the home demonstration
agents sent out by the United States
department of agriculture and the
state agricultural college. This re
sulted in a saving of approximately
$50,161 to their owners.
In another state, 486 local leaders
were trained, with the result that
717,478 birds were culled. Os this
number, 274,399 were found to be
non-productive.
About 81 per cent of all the poul
try in the country is cared for by
women. For that reason special at
tention is given to poultry by the
home clubs supervised by the de
partment of agriculture and the
state colleges, and farm women are
taught best methods of poultry se
lection, breeding, raising, feeding’,
housing, culling, canning surplus
birds for home use, preservation of
eggs and co-operative selling of
poultry products.
Lack of proper culling thus far has
proved to be, in the majority of
cases, the principal reason why a
flock is not profitable. Forty per
cent of the hens in the average farm
flack today are non-productive, and
should be sold or eaten. It costs
about $2 a year to feed each hen.
If she does not produce more than
that amount in eggs she is unpro
fitable.
priced sugar. There are few des
serts that do not take from one-half
to one cup of sugar, and no dessert
is more healthful than fruit. It is
not necessary to use such thick syrup
as was used in the days of plenty.
A 10 per cent syrup made of one
part sugar and nine parts water will
make palatable any of the acid fruits.
Such fruits as apples, pineapples,
and the like can be canned without
sugar. In fact, ordinary glucose or
corn syrup may be substituted . for
sugar in making the syrup. A palata
ble syrup is made by mixing one
half cup sugar, one cup glucose, and
eight cups of water.
It requires about seven ounces of
sugar for a pint jar. One cup of
sugar will make ten cups of syrup.
A pound of sugar will make twenty
cups. This last amount will be suf
ficient for twenty pints of canned
fruit. Where the 10 per cent syrup
is used the cost of the sugar to can
a pint jar is 1 1-2 cents with sugar
at. thirty cents a pound. It is not
so expensive after all.
In the adjoining county were two
men who had made a considerable
fortune in sweet potatoes, largely
through their ability to store their
potatoes in their own warehouses.
The other sweet potato growers were
able barely to eke out a small profit,
because they were compelled to sell
their produce immediately. The two
warehousemen finally were prevailed
upon to interest themselves in the
formation of a co-operative associa
tion. The association was, thereby
enabled to’ negotiate a loan from the
bank for the construction of a ware
house to take care of the pooled pro
duce. This was such an encourage
ment to the farmers that it was soon
necessary to construct another build
ing because of a considerable in
crease in crops.
The two leading sweet potato men
in this association do not hold a ma
jority of the stock. The organiza
tion is a co-operative one in the full
meaning of the word, Each member
is on an equal footing with every
other member.
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am another lonely girl of four
teen coming to you for advice.
I have been corresponding with a
boy of sixteen, off and on for a year.
I got mad with him once on account
of him writing to another girl and
I wrote to him and blessed him out,
and he did not write to me any
more, but a few days after that I
was very sorry of the way I had
treated him because he is such a Dice
boy and is very timid, so I wrote him
a real sweet letter. Then we made
up and again we busted up for some
cause like that and I was the cause
of it, so I did the same way again.
Do you think I did right?
We are corresponding now as if
we had never busted up and I love
him very dearly and he seems to
be very fond of me. He is about
the only boy I care for. There is
another boy that wants to go with
me and I do not want to go with
him. So will you please give me your
advice as to getting rid of him with
out hurting his feelings.
Is there any harm in sitting out
in the swing about eleven oclock at
night with a boy after getting back
from a party?
Thanking you for your advice.
PEGGY.
You show rather a high tem
pered disposition, and you ought
to curb it now, as it may cause
you a great deal of distress and
real sorrow later. I do not think
you should quarrel at the least
provocation with the boy you
say you care so much for. How
i ever, you are young and your
sweetheart of today may be
your friend’s sweetheart next
year. That seems to be the way
i of girls and boys, and no one
takes their love affairs very se
riously. If you do not care to
go with the other boy do not en
courage him at all, and you can
find some plausible excuse such
as having some errand to run or
a duty at home to perform or an
other engagement. There are
countless ways to get out of go
ing with some one whom you do
not care for, without hurting his
feelings. Do not insult him, for
he may turn out to be your
best friend in later years.
I am a girl of nearly seventeen.
I have medium brown hair and
blue eyes, fair complexion and am
about 5 feet 6 inches high and weigh
136 pounds. Do you think I weigh
too much for my age and height?
There is a girl who has been a
very dear friend of mine, but for
about a year she hasn’t wanted me
to write or have anything at all to
do with other girls and if I did
write to any others she would be so
mad she would not know what to
do. Then last spring she said some
very hard things about my brother;
they were so hard that I could not
keep her as a friend any longer, but
j she seemed to think I ought to.
She doesn’t seem to think anybody
else has any feeling at all. Now
I she wants, me to go on as if nothing
’ has happened. She hasn’t asked
! me to forgive her or anything and
i I don’t know what to dp. It seems
: that all my lovefor her. has gone.
! especially since she said those hard
i things about my brother. What do
you think best to do? Please do not
1 forget to tell me about my weight.
Please put this in the next issue.

' greatest task we humans have.
When some one has hurt us,
wounded us it seems beyond en
durance then come to us and ask
forgiveness, shall we turn a deaf
ear? No; but forgive them, as
we hope to be forgiven by our
heavenly father for what we do
to him/ You can treat her kind
ly, at all times, let her see the
greatness that is in youby so
doing; but never place confidence
in her again. Do not tell her
anything, and if she has talked
about your brother, or you, the
mere fact that you are nice to
her will make her grossly asham
ed of herself. Heap colds of
fire upon her head. She will
suffer more than you my child.
Your weight is about right. You
might reduce to 128 pounds or
thirty pounds. You will lose
some flesh as you get older.
Will you please inform me of a
good business college where I can
learn to be a stenographer. Would
prefer a smaller town than Atlanta,
if not too far away. A place where
it would not be so expensive. Do
you think this would be a nice job?
Hoping to see this in next issue.

I do not know of any good
business college outside of At

not only will you become inde

RULES
No unsigned letters printed.
No letter written on both sides of paper printed.

Dear Children: Please notice that we have put our very few

Dear Aunt and Cousins. Springtime
again! Yes, tlie birds will soon be singing,
flowers blooming. Oh, gee, ain’t I glad.
I’m in the country, eh? Cousins, wouldn’t
it be a great idea tor us to mention our
ambitions? The things we are specially in
terested in? Then others who have the same
ideas might wish to correspond with us and
exchange helpful suggestions; also inspira
tions. Yes, let’s forget “illusions of love”
and think of things really worth while. We
can't “make love.” ’Tis a readq-made ar
ticle.
For instance, I’m interested in poultry,
White Leghorns. Are there not other cous
ins who are also interested and would like
to exchange ideas on “how to manage for
profit?” I imagine if we boys and girls
would discuss “life work” instead of trying
to make love, Mary Meredith would have
less work to do. Do you all agree?
Your cousin, PRIAR HURST.

be glad for any of you cousins to write to
me. ADDIE LEE HARDY.

Help Plan Farm Homes
Beautifying and improving the
farm homes is the newest phase of
home demonstration work in the
south, yet more than 1,500 farm
houses were built in the south last
year according to plans advised by
the home club agents; 2,736 were re
modeled, 2,677 had lighting systems
installed, 19,270 had kitchens im
proved and made easier to do work
in, 26,811 labor-saving devices were
made or purchased, and .29,666 front
yards were beautified. When exten
sion work with the women was
started 10 years ago, it aimed first
to lighten women’s work and to lift
it out of the realm of drudgery and
to aid in food problems. As these
problems were being solved the
questions of clothing, home conven
iences, increased poultry and dairy
productions, sanitary improvements,
food composition, food values, and
practical arrangement and furnish
ing cf the kitchen were brought up
by the women. This led to demands
for practical plans for the whole
house and for information as to Its
best location, drainage, water supply
lighting devices, inside arrange
ment and decoration.

How Many Women Are Like This?
Can anything be moie wearing for women than the ceaseless
round, of household duties? Oh! the monotony of it all
work and drudge; no time to be sick; tired, ailing, yet can
not stop. There comes a time when something “snaps” and
they find themselves “ simply worn out,” and to make matters
worse, have contracted serious feminine disorder which almost
always follows the constant overtaxing of a woman’s strength.
Then they should remember that there is no remedy like

birth of my last child I had such
painful spells that would unfit me
entirely for my housework. I suf
fered for months and the doctor said
that my trouble was organic ulcers
and I would have to have an opera
tion. That was an awful thing to
me, with a young baby and four other
children, so one day I thought of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound and how it had helped
me years before and I decided to try
it again. I took five bottles of Vege
table Compound and used Lydia E.

then I have been a well woman, able

How to Treat •
A Torpid Liver
'the liver is the largest and most
important organ in the body, and
when the liver refuses to act, it
causes constipation, biliousness,
headaches, indigestion, gas, sour
stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pains in back and under
shoulder blades and under ribs on
right side. These symptoms lead to
colds, influenza or other serious
troubles unless cori’ected immediate
ly.
An inactive liver places an extra
burden on the kidneys, which over
taxes them and causes the blood to
absorb and carry Into the system the
impurities that the liver and kidney*
have failed to eliminate.
When -you treat the liver alone,
you treat only a third of your
trouble, and that is why you have to
take purgatives every few nights.
Calomel or other ordinary laxatives
do not go far enough. If you would
treat your kidneys and blood while
treating the liver you would put
your entire system in order and fre
quent purgatives would then be un
necessary.
Dr. W. L. Hitchcock many years
ago recognized these important
facts, and after much study an(l
research, compounded what is now
known as Dr. Hitchcock’s Live?,
Kidney and Blood Powders, three
medicines combined in one. This
was the Doctor’s favorite prescrip
tion for many years, being used by
his patients with marked success.
It is a harmless vegetable remedy
that will not make you sick, aitd
you may eat anything you like
while taking it.
Get a large tin box from your
druggist or dealer for 25c, under his
personal guarantee that it will
relief, tone up the liver, stimulate
the kidneys to healthy action and
thereby purify the blood. Keep It in
the home for ready use whenever
any member of the family begins
to feel “out of sorts.” It will prove
a household friend and valuable
remedy.— (Advt.)

of my baby I had organic trouble.
My doctor said it was caused by
