The Airplane Dustins of Cotton
The boll weevil is still with us in
ipite of the fact that we made a
airly good crop of cotton in Geor
fia in 1924. That long spell of wet
leather in September produced eon
litions essentially favorable for the
eproduction of the weevil, and, as
i result thereof, a large crbp ot
hem have gone into hibernation.
The idea that we will not need to
.lust cotton in 1925 is a mistaken
KSb lotion, for unless we have an un
severe venter, there will be
|V nore weevils coming out of hiberna
.ion to infest our fields early next
Hp ipring than has been true for sev
wal years past. Our losses in Geor-
B 'ia from weevil damage to our cot
fl on fields have indeed been appall-
H ng. Let us not delude ourselves
H nto the belief that this menace to
■ otton cultivation will not prove de
■l Jtructive another year.
S’ Undoubtedly a thousand n os
fl \ Jums have been suggested for boll
B weevil control. Nearly every day
fl ome new plan is brought to light.
H V careful and painstaking investi-
H Ration of all of these has proven
fl .heir utter inadequacy. As yet, the
■ >nly thing found of a dependable
■ kaature is the dusting of cotton with
H talCium arsenate. It is now evident
H lhat this dusting should begin rcla
fl lively early and be continued long
B snough to protect the cotton against
H injury by the icrop of migrating
BL weevils, which usually begin their
B| Hight in Georgia from about the
B Jpiddle of August to the first of Sep-
B '.ember. In the light of all the re-
B >earch and investigations which
B have been made, therefore, it is
B. Hear that calcium arsenate is the
test remedy for us to use in the
■ \!igU against the weevil. How < a.i
B we apply it most effectively and
B With the least cost? Dozens of
B Vhemes for its use have been
B worked out. Many seem to still be-
■ ieve that it can be applied effect
fl ‘lively in the form of a spray. Some
fl observers claim to have devised a
■ plan by which certain materials can
I] t»e mixed with the calcium arsenate
H ind thus make it adhere more tena
-9 tiously to the leaves of the plants.
B Others are advocating the use of cal
-9 tium arsenate mixed with molasses.
9 in the early stages of
■ »he development of the cotton plant.
9 Others have held from the begin
-9 ning that it should only be applied
B «s a. dust spray. There is a very
9 “Babel of tongues" abroad in the
■ land discussing this subject, and it
9 tertainly will do no harm for us '.j
■ pause for a moment, sit down, and
■ tonsider these various claims, and
■ wee if we can determine upon the
■ >iost satisfactory method of apply-
■ Ing this material.
■ Calcium arsenate may be applied
fl ivith hand-guns. mule-back-guns.
■ two-row dusters, and power-dusters,
■ which carry several nozzles, thereby
B enabling the landowner to poison
B leveral acres of land in a compara-
B lively short time. It can also be
I ipplied on a larger scale by air
fl'; planes. The small farmer, who only
B Vitas from five to len acres in cotton,
B will likely have to depend on a sim-
■ pie hand-gun. Probably the man
B with twenty-five to forty acres w 11
B jontinue to use a mule-back-machine,
I >r a two-row duster. Undoubtedly, ■
■ many farmers having considerable
■ ureas of land planted to cotton, say
1 fifty to one hundred acres, will con-
B\ tlnue to use the power type of ma-
B \ chine. The big grower, however, is
I going to use the airplane.
| This fact has been demonstrated al
| 'eady to the satisfaction of every
I thinking man, for airplane dusting
L of cotton has now been practiced
■ ' with both success and satisfaction
B' for nearly three years past. These
B demonstrations have so firm a hold
W upon the imagination of large cotton
in the Mississippi delta and
Bln other sections of the country
< that they have already arranged to
I dust their cotton by means of air-
I planes in 1925. Is the use, of the
I airplane necessarily to be confined
Ito lite needs of tl.e large farmer? I
j think not. You may ask why I hold
| to this belief? It is for the reason
that any number ot farmers can go
in together and so aggregate the |
I areas of land they cultivate in cot
-1 ton as to make the use of the air
\plane for protecting their cotton
Vsrop a practical matter.
In the present stage of the do
, velopment of the airplane, it cannot
' be used satisfactorily on areas of
land of loss than fifty acres in ex.
i tent. It would be better if the hold
ings included one hundred acres.
’ There is no reason, however, wh>
1 several farmers should not so plant
] their cotton as to have it in a con-
\ tlguous body. On the other hand,
.there are hundreds of farmers in
□Georgia who will plain from one to
live hundred acres in cotton in 1925.
In that event, there should bo no
trouble in securing the location of
one thousand acres and upward it.
cotton in many communities. Is it
practicable to dust one thousand
acre fields of cotton? The area
which one airplane can undertake
to handle in an ordinary season is
about 7,000 acres. It should not be
■bifficult to find areas of this cha>-
Fcter in many of our Georgia coun
ties, because from fifteen to twenty
per cent of the cultivated land is de
voted to cotton. There are a few
counties which devote 25.000 to 50.
000 acres of land to cotton. Where
I the country is comparatively lew.
oind there are not many trees, and
|the fields are fairly well concent rat
;ed, airplane dusting can be done to
the very best advantage. Under
such circumstances and conditions,
' the use of the airplane for the pro
of the cotton crop is to be
□commended. Some one will say that
'the idea, of using airplanes for th
\»urpose indicated constitutes a mete
night of the imagination. In this
they are entirely mistaken, as a
demonstration of the use of this
equipment for this purpose will defi
nitely show.
In the test recently made at Amer
icus. the airplane was able to fly «t
a height of about twenty feet above
the cotton field and to distribute a
great, broad cloud of thoroughly
Vulverized dust over a large area of
md each time it circled the field.
One of these clouds laid down, say
every three hundred feet, resulted in
the thorough distribution of the poi
son on all sides of the plant and over
the space intervening between the
swaths of dust laid down by thy air
plane. The dust is driven out with
\such force and uniformity that it >
applied in the form of an impalpable
powder. So thoroughly fine does it
become and so great is the force
with whl -h it is driven out that the
average man will hardly think the
plants have been effectively bathed
in a dust cloud of poison. It is
there just ! he same, as one who has
ever gotK.t into one of these dust
clouds wil surely testify.
Airplanes, when dusting cotton,
travel anywhere from fifty to one
hundred miles or more an hour. The
dust is thus driven out with tremen
|dous for* e and power, which' is ex
actly what we are attempting to do
with other types of machinery less
well-constructed or suited to the at
tainment of the purpose indicated.
It is possible with an airplane, there
fore, to dust cotton with the high
est degree of efficiency and not use
more, sax,* than four to six pounds
of calcium I'-icn.i'j >-««•■ acre When

pose. Hence, a great saving of cal
cium arsenate is insured in the very
beginning, while the most thorough
and complete dusting is effected. The
work can also be done yvith speed
and celerity even in the face of the
, most unfavorable weather conditions.
It makes no difference whether the
ground is wet or dry, when the time
for dusting cotton arrives. The air
plane can do the work without wait
ing in spite of unfavorable weather
conditions. From three to six hun-
• dred acres of cotton can be dusted
in an hour. Therefore, several thou
sand acres can be gone over very
quickly.
. To operate one of those machines
calls for the employment of but a
single aviator and a good mechanic
when one uses an airplane. There
are not hundreds of negroes to get
out of bed before day in the morn
ing, and there 1 dusting equip
ment to keep inorder. The fields
can be uniformly and completely
dusted in a very short time by
means of the airplane and the farm
er will not have to supervise the
poor and inefficient labor with
which he now has to contend. Why
then not dust the large areas devot
ed to cotton in Georgia with air
planes? Simply because it is a new
enterprise, and it is difficult for
our farmers to grasp its full sig
nificance immediately. Apparently’,
they will have to think the matter
over and figure on it for some time
before adopting this method of dust
ing their cotton; but, of course, they
will come to it. So, why- not now,
thereby saving the loss of much la
bor and energy as well as cotton?
There is another advantage in
airplane dusting. If the work an I
labor control incident to the dusting
of cotton were taken off the farnv
et s mind, he could increase his
acreage from twenty-five to thirty
thiee tier cent. There is an opinion
abroad in the land that as the
farmer now has sufficient equip
ment and plenty of mules and labor
at his command that it would be a
waste of time and energy on his
part to resort to dusting his dotton
by ait plane. There would be an ade
quate opportunity under the condi
tions portrayed of employing all his
labor and mules to the very best ad
vantage; so h e need not hesitate on
that score. Many farmers, if they
are so minded, could therefore get
their cotton adequately dusted, and
the greatest bugaboo with which
the.y now have to contend would be
removed from their minds, and thev

THE HUNDREDTH WOMAN
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR
(Copyright, 1024. by Public Ledger Company)
Lyra Graham is to be married
to Peter Griswold in three
weeks. Thomas Hunter, better
known as Tex, a friend of Mr.
Graham's, is invited to come on
for the festivities preceding the
wedding. He feels out of place,
and thinks Lyra and her friends
extremely artificial. Lyra treats
him with barely concealed in
solence, and one night when she
tries him too far he seizes her
in his arms and kisses her. Lyra
is furious, but to his amazement
Tex discovers that he loves her.
Cynthia Weston, Lyra's prospec

CHAPTER XYin
Cynthia Tells Lyra
LYRA was just about to get into
bed when there came a knock
on the door, and Cynthia and
Corinne came in.
They perched on the edge of the
bed like gay, colorful birds, and Cyn
thia was smoking, as usual. Both
of them were bright-eyed and as
fresh as though they had not been
dancing all evening.
With a laugh, Lyra, slipped out of
her negligee, and a moment later
was settled among her pillows.
"If you insist upon talking, I in
tend to make myself as comfortable
as possible,” she said lightly. “And
if I drop off to sleep while you are
going through the post-mortems, you
have only yourselves to blame.”
Cynthia struck a dramatic atti
tude. “\yait till you hear the tidings
I bear, fair lady,” she drawled. "Dost
know that your father’s friend, the
mysterious stranger from the great
open spaces, has fallen a victim to
your charms? I’m ashamed of you,
Lyra. What have you been doing to
the poor man? He seems all struck
in a heap!”
' "What nonsense are you talking?”
Lyra said evenly. She was instantly
on her guard. She knew Cynthia
and did not trust her. It would nev
er do to arouse suspicion in her
mind.
"No nonsense, but the plain, un
varnished truth. I saw him look at
you during dinner, and he wore his
heart in his eyes.”
Lyra pretended a delicate yawn
and dropped her lashes. But at Cyn
thia's next words her lids flew open
and she stared at the girl incredu
lously, as though doubting the evi
dence of her own ears.
“Yes, I did, I taxed him with it,”
Cynthia was repeating. "I quoted
some nonsense about the desire of
the moth for the star, and he did
not deny it. Now what have you to
say?”
"That Mr. Hunter was extremely
generous,” Lyra returned. “He
couldn’t very well say anything else-,
could he?”
"But I tell you I know!” Cynthia
insisted. “And if the truth were told,
you know more than you're willing
to admit. I'll wager.” The drawling
tones of her voice were suddenly
sharpened. There was an edge to
her words, but although Lyra was
well aware of the fact she only
laughed.
"All right. If you know, Cynthia,
there's no more to be said. But it
can wait till morning, can't it? I'm
so deadly sleepy that I can hardly
keep my eyes open, and tomorrow's
another day,”
Lyra s lids had again drooped, and
Cynthia rose reluctantly from the.
edge of the bed. She went slowly
toward the door, but Corinne stop
ped a moment and dropped a kiss on
Lyra’s golden head.
"Good-night, old dear,” she said,
real affection in, Ker tones. "Don't
mind Cynthia’s jokifig:-she must
have excitement, you know, or she
isn’t happy.”
Lyra smiled, and a moment later,
when she was alone, she reached up
to snap off the light over her bed.
Then she lay for a long time staring
up into the darkness and thinking
over what Cynthia had said. If it
were true, what away to get even
with lex for what he had done! She
(night play with him delicately, lead
liim on. Not too much, of course,
but in a careful, calculated wav. It
would be rather fun, quite an adven
ture. culminating, of course in her
marriage to Peter. Again Lyra was
dramatizing herself. She was the
heroine walking oi/[ on a softly light
ed stage. The roles played bv the
other characters were all subordi-

nated to her own; she had the star
part, and she hadn't a doubt but
what she could handle it.
As for Tex Hunter, her lips curv
ed into a scornful little smile as she
thought of him. If it were true that
she had inspired any feeling in him,
he would be helpless in her hands.
She would snap the whip and watch
him perform. What fun it would be,
and what a really delicious revenge.
Lyra had forgotten all about her
own reaction that evening, and when
she finally dropped asleep her lips
were still curved in a satisfied smile.
CHAPTER XXIY
“Tonight Is Mine!”
<{X7‘OU say you despise me,”
I Tex said very slowly. “If
that is the truth, why have
you looked at me differently to
night? You have been kinder to
me than you during the first
two days of my visit; were you tri
fling with me?”
Lyra laughed, an insolent scornful
little laugh.
"Perhaps I was. Every one does
j it, you know. If you weren't such
I a barbarian, you would know that.
| Surely you weren't credulous enough
■ to believe that I was encouraging
i you for any other reason were you?
That would be too funny!”
Again the flame of his blue eyes
met the starry gray of hers, and she
threw back her head and laughed
aloud. It was a tuneful laugh like
the spund of bells, but it was cold,
and lacking in any real merriment.
It was scornful, derisive, it rang out
in the air like a challenge, and it
made Tex suddenly see red.
A thought like a searling flame
flashed across his mind. He loved
this woman, and she was utterly
cruel and selfish. He couldn’t have
used the words she had flung at
him, to the least deserving person
in the world. He hadn’t it in him to
hurt any one deliberately, but she
had been ruthless wih him.
She needn’t have treated him as
she had, she could have let him off
! easy, for if she had not deliberate
ly taunted him, he would never have
touched her. He would have gone
| out of her life without this pain in
his heart, thinking of her perhaps
in a kindly fashion. It had all been
so unnecessary.
Quite suddenly he leaned forward,
and. gathering her rip, lifted het
bodily from the seat into his arms.
Her face was a white blur against
his breast, a while blur in which
: he could hardly make out the sea
! tures for the mist before his eyes.
With every breath he drew, the
perfume !of her hair came to him,
poignantly sweet, and her lips were
his for the taking. ■
"Lyra.” he said, a deep note in
voice, "I love you! God knows I
never intended to tell you this, I
never knew it myself until I kissed
you the other night. I z swear that,
but now the thought of going away
out of .your life is something. I can
hardly face sanely, the idea of an
other man possessing you is more
than I can bear. I know I have
no right to tell you this, I know
only too well how you despise me,
hut tonight is mine, mine, do you
hear me? Nothing else matters!”
He was bending over her, his
lips sought hers, and he was kiss
ing her mercilessly, relentlessly, as
though he wanted to carry the mem
ory of the touch of her lips with
him through the eternity of years
ahead.
In that moment he had no thought
of her wishes. He was carried out
of himself by the strength and drive
of his passion. Having kissed her,
he wanted more. He wanted her
to give him -the right to kiss her,
and because he realized that this was
the last, he was for the time be
ing hardly conscious of what he
was doing.
When he finally- released her and
lifted her back into the seat by his
side he started the engine with a
furious intensity. He wanted to
drive hard. fast. His blue eyes
blazed as the car leaped forward,
and huddlel beside him. although
he was hardly conscious of it now,
was a white-faced girl. Her head
rested against the back of the seat
and her eyes were closed, the
straight, black lashes resting against
her cheeks. Little tendrils of het
silvery hair were blowing in the
wind. Her chin was" almost buried
in the white fur collar of her coat,
and from time to time she caught
her under lip between her teeth,
as though to stop its ceaseless trem
bling.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
There Arc Not Many Villains or Big
Tragedies in Real Life—Most Di
vorces Are Based on Insignifi
cant Differences of Tempera
ment, Ideals and Habits
( 4 y~)EOPLE are always talking
about the prevalence of di
vorce,” said a woman re
cently, “but the wonder is not that
so many marriages go on the rocks,
but that every one doesn’t. When
you think of two
young people
who have not
lived lon g
enough to na\ e
been disciplined
by life, or to
have had I'd’ s
teach them phi
losophy or seli
control; who
have different
ideals, undertak
ing to live to

contact of
l a home, it is not
surprising that
J
they so often fight like cats and dogs.
Th' o amazing thing is that uxorc de
isn't the commonest crime on 0
calendar, and that every ”; aiua ’-
dotesn't end in the divorce court.
"The poetic theory that there is
sonic nuigic in the matiiage ( f
mony that turns a husband amil w> e
into two souls with but a . J?’
thought is all buncombe. Every ,ma i
Jack, and woman Jane, is a distil c
individuality before marriage and re
mains that way after marnage,
having a preacher mumble a few
words over you doesn’t alter youi
point of view in the least.
“If you liked steak smothered with
onions before marriage and were a
fresh-air fiend, you are still a fresp
air fiend and like steak smothery
with onions after marriage, and <he
clash comes in when you find that
you are united, until death do us
part, with one who can not. abide
onions, and who likes to live in her
metically. sealed rooms.
“And, curiously enough, it is the
onions and the fresh air, and oui
ability to assimilate them, or do with
out them, that make or mar a mar
riage. When all is said, there are
not many villains, or big tragedies,
or broken hearts in real life. There
are not many philandering husbands,
nor flirtatious wives. Th e married
man who elopes with a chorus girl,
and the married woman who goes oft
with her soulmate, are rare enough
to be news and get their names in
the papers.
“Most husbands and wives are
pretty decent, and try to do their
duty in that station in life to which
they have called themselves, but
they are what their families have
made them. They are heredity, plus
environment, and it'is when their
ancestral traits and tribal customs
smash headlong into the ancestral
traits and tribal customs of the in
dividual to ' whom they are married
that trouble begins.
“Irvin Cobb says that the Civil
war wasn’t fought over slavery, that
it was fought over hot bread versus
cold bread, and I believe it, for I
have seen more than one home dis
rupted by the pie question.
"I call to mind one marriage that
seemed truly a match made in heav
en.* Both bride and groom were
splendid, handsome, intelligent,
young creatures, who appeared cre
ated for each other. But, alas, the
girl belonged to an intelligent family
who believed in the plain-living and
high-thinking theory of existence,
and the man came of a race of epi
cures who believed that art found
one of its highest modes of expres
iion in the kitchen.
"The wife considered it a waste
of time and-money to supply her'
table with anything but the bare -
necessities of existence, and she con
sidered it het sacred duty to wean
'er husband away from the fleshpots,

the food she set before him, and so
after a few years of semi-starvation

Y> ace of torment instead of a para
dise on earth is the never-ceasing
nagging that goes on in so many
households. And this nagging is just
t le result of a man or woman try
ing to make his wife or her husband
conform to the habits he or she was
brought up in.
“A nr n who has had a saving
mother who wore plain, cheap clothes
and never went out in society can
never get over the idea that his wife
is ruining him because »he doesn. »
pare tlie potatoes thin enough, and
buys pretty clothes and goes to par
ties The woman who has been
brought up narrow-minded and
.stingy believes her husband is going
to perdition every time he takes a
drink, and she frets herself and him
every time he tips a waiter.
“In my own case it took me thirty
years to find out that it was less
work, and saved wear and tear on
my temper and nerves, to pick up
after my husband than it was to
try to make him hang up his clothes,
and put a book on the shelf after
he bad been done with it. We have
fought over that a thousand times,
and all because his mother was a
slap-da shy housekeeper and my
mother one of the women who believ
ed that order is heaven's first law,
ami that to scatter a newspaper on
the floor ought to be a hanging of
fense.
“In my family much talking was
discouraged. We kept our own coun
sel and never discussed our plans
with any one. My husband’s people
are loquacious. They talk over every
thing they are going to do, and think
they are going to do, afid everybody
knows every detail of everybody
else’s life. To me this still seems
horrible. I feel it is as immodest tb
expose my soul as it would be to ex
pose mv body, and because I cannot
tell others everything I think and
feel, my in-laws regard me as aloof
and secretive and have never really
felt me one of the family.
“And it is a. barrier between my
husband and myself that J think he
talks too much, and he thinks I am
a clam. And there you are!
"So I think that when you consider <
all of these temperamental differ
ences between people who have been
brought up with different ideals and
habits, it is wonderful that they
adapt themselves to each other as
well as they do.”
