BOARD OF COMMERCE
OPPOSES PROPOSED
WATER POWER BILLS
Vote Taken at Meeting Tues
day—Small Attendance
H. C. Middleton Says Vote
Does Not Represent True
Sentiment of Board
The Board of Commerce went on
record Tuesday as being opposed to
the proposed constitutional amend
ments, which would extend the credit
of the state to operate plants for
the generation and transmission of
electricity, and give the same right
to any county, municipal
op, political sub-division of the state.
The city counoil of Augusta had pre
viously gone on record unanimously
twice In favor of getting for Augusta
the powers which the bill would pro
vide, and there is now a bill before
the house of representatives in Atlan
ta which would give this city that
power.
President Wallace B. Pierce, of the
Board of Commerce, presided at the
meeting. The motion against the
amendments was made by Warren
Bothwell and Mr. J. R. League sec
onded it. Mr. Archibald Blackshear,
city attorney and president of the Mu
nicipal League of Georgia, and -Mr.
Hugh Middleton, spoke in favor of
the amendments.
The meeting was attended by six
teen members.
H. C. Middleton stated to The Her
ald, after the meeting, that the ac
tion did not represent the sentiment
of the Board of Commerce, declaring
that it so happened that a majority
of the 16 members present were op
posed to the proposed amendments.
Farmers' Meeting at
Granite Hill on 21st
Conference Will Consider
Important Agricultural
Problems
An important meeting is to be held
on the twenty-first of July at the
Tenth district A. and M. school at
Granite Hill for the farmers of this
district and their wives. Several dis
tinguished speakers will be on the
program to discuss cooperative mar
) kets. and the control of the boll
weevil. A representative of the farm
bureau will be present to explain the
new sales age% y that they have re
cently inaugurated and which is giv
ing such remarkable service in helping
the farmer dispose of his surplus
products.
On of the most important features
of the program will be the demon
strations in the correct method of ap
plying calcium arsenate, and what
results to expect. This feature alone
will be well worth the trip to Gran
ite Hill.
Mr. Elrod, the new president of the
school extends a cordial invitation to
all of the farmers of the Tenth dis
trict. and every one of them should
go and see the progress that is be
ing made with their school.

Deputy Butler Bags
Two Big Copper Stills
Deputy Sheriff T. M. Butler, of
North Augusta, assisted by H J.
Britt, made a big liquor haul on
Monday when two distilleries located
on the George W. Walker place, three
miles from Belvedere, were confiscat
ed.
The stills were nestled away in the
swamp. The outfit consisted of two
copper stills of seventy gallons ca
pacity each. Four hundred and fifty
gallons of wheat and sugar beer and
| an equal amount of corn meal' and
sugar beer was seized, together with
about five gallons of whisky.
The officers state that there was a
complete cooking oulfit on hand al
so. indicating that the operatioes of
the still must have been constantly
on the Job. However, no one was
around at the time of the raids, al
though it is possible arrests w ill' fol

WINDSOR SPRING WATER
Poisoned Molasses Not As Effective
As Plain Ousting In Weevil Control,
Says B. Coad, Weevil Expert
Except in Very Dry Weather, and When Plants Are
Young—Result of Tests By Department of Agricul
ture
By B. R. COAD.
During the past few weeks there
has been considerable interest in cer
tain portions of the cotton belt rela
tive to the possibility of poisoning the
cotton boll weevil by using a mixture
of molasses, calcium arsenate and wa
ter. Numerous inquiries have been
received concerning the efficacy of'
such a mixture and so many reports
were noted of excellent results being
secured in field use that it was deem
ed desirable to give the question rath
er serious consideration. No experi
ments had been conducted by the De
partment of Agriculture with this par
ticular mixture, but years ago numer
ous tests were conducted to determine
the possibility of attracting weevils
with a large ftuniber of sweets, Includ
ing molasses, and the results were
generally negative, although there
were a few instances of a very slight
degree of attraction being shown. In
view of these results It had seemed
useless to conduct any further tests
along this line until the present inter
est 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 unpoisoned
check plants. Various concentrations
and amounts of the molasses mixture
were tested and the entire series was
repeated five times. In all a total of
eighty-six different cage tests, Involv
ing the use of about 1,200 weevils,
were Included in these sefles. The
first test conducted showed the aver
age mortalit yproduced by the mo
lasses mixture to be exactly the same
as that of dusted calcium arsenate.
The second showed the dusted calcium
arsenate to be superior, while the
third series indicated about an equal
superiority of the molasses mixture.
The fourth test was slightly in favor
of the dusted calcium arsenate, while
the fifth showed the two preparations
to have about an equal degree of tox
icity. The average of the entire se
ries showed the mortality in all cages
treated with dusted calcum arsenate
to be exactly the same as that In the
bags treated with the molasses mix
ture.
Quantities Varied.
Tests of different amounts of the
molasses mixture and also variations
in the distribution over the plant
Showed practically no relation between
these variants and the resultant mor
tality. In other words, the weevil
mortality was practically as groat in
the cage receiving the lightest dosage
as in those receiving the heaviest.
The next series of tests were con
ducted on more nearly a field basis.
*or the purpose of these tests five
rows of cotton were treated with the
molasses mixtures, the next five with
dusted calcium arsenate and the next
five left untreated as a check. These
three conditions were repeated three
times in each experiment, thus mak
ing a total of fifteen rows receiving
each type of treatment in each test.
The entire test was repeated four
under different field conditions.
After the treatment these rows were

and official notice to that effect was
sent out Tuesday by J. J. Brown,
commissioner of agriculture. Mr,

PROTEST THE RETURN OF
GUNBOATS TO TAMPICO
WASHINGTON—Protest* agiiint r*.
turn of American warships to Tam
pico harbor were telegraphed Tuesday
by the confederation of railroad so
cieties of Mexico to President Gomp
ers of the American Federation of La
bor.
The message asserted that the ships
had "disembarked American marines
In Tampico without having solicited
the necessity acquiescence of the
Mexican foreign office." A "tremend
ous conflict which may evolve Into a
disastrous International war," was
said to have been "provoked" by this
attitude.

or otherwise, that marines from the

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
examined carefully once a day for
three days and the number of live
weevils found on each row was care
fully noted. The Hist series showed a
very definite control reaction for the
molasses mixture and indicated that
much benefit had beet) derived from
the application. Of the remnihlui?
three series, however, two showed
more mortality in the rows treated
with calcium arsenate than In those
treated with the molasses mixture.
In the four series as a whole there
is no striking difference between the
different treatments.
To secure a still further check front
this subject a series of field plant
tests were started, uniform cuts be
ing surveyed, divided In half and otic
half treated with dusted calcium arse
nate. while the other was treated with
the molasses mixture. These tests
are still under way, but the results
to date are of interest. The central
ten rows in each mat have been ex
amined daily and the number of live
weevils found on them carefully noted,
ns well ns the percentage of squares.
To date We have found no definite dif
ference in the square infestation and
the record of live weevils collected
shows almost three times as many
found on the plats treated with mo
lasses ns on those treated with dusted
calcium arsenate.
Dusting Is Better.
Considering these records as a whole
it is seen that the molasses mixture
does exercise a certain degree of con
trol over the boll weevil, but that this
is generally less than that secured
with plain dusted calcium arsenate.
Under certain conditions it was found
that a much better degree of control
was secured from the molasses mix
ture than with the calcium arsenate,
but this result was noted only In the
case of very small cotton plants aver
aging only a few inches In height, and
also during exceedingly dry weather.
The latter fact was particularly no
ticeable and is probably the key
note of the variation In results. It
seems quite probable that during ex
ceedingly dry weather the weevils vis
it the droplets of molasses water mix
ture for the purpose of securing mois
ture, but do not follow this practice
to as marked a degree during norma!
weather. In other words, the results
so far indicate that (lusted calcium
arsenate is superior to the molasses
mixture except during exceedingly dry
weather and on very small plants. At
the present time the growth of the
cotton plants has apparently reached
the point where the molasses mixture
does not give any marked degree of
control. Our fairly large scale appli
cations on an acreage basis showed
that It takes at least one hour and a
half to treat one acre of small cotton
with the molasses mixture, ami that
would make the labor cost of the ap
plication somewhat greater than that
involved in applying the plain dust. In
view of such results there seems to be
little reason for using the molasses
mixture in preference to plain calcium
arsenate at any time, and it certainly
should not be used on the cotton
plants after they reach the squaring
stage.

LITTLE TIME LEFT
TO OBTAIN TICKETS
TO COMMONITY 'CUE
News from other cities indicates
that the people there realize better
than Augustams the fact that the
great community barbecue is now only
a score or two hours away. The event
of the season, which will be put on
at the Fair Grounds and Lake View
Park Thursday under the auspices of
the Board of Commerce, has been
talked of so much in the city that
the people have not noticed it ap
proaching, ana hero it is right at the
door.
Many Augustans who Intend to at
tend, and who would not miss it for
any amount of money, have not yet
purchased their tickets. They do not
realize that the 'cue is not week
away, or even days. It has slipped
up on them when they were not look
ing. and found them without tickets.
However, they still have time to ob
tain them. They are on sale at the
office of the Board of Dommeree, on
the ground floor of the Lamar build
ing.
It is the duty of the people of Au
gusta to attend the 'cue. It is their
duty to meet the people from the ter
ritory surrounding Augusta, to get ac
quainted with them, and to make
them feel that when they come to Au
gusta they are among friends, and not
among strangers who have no inter
est in them.
Hon. John Skelton Williams, for
mer comptroller of the currency, and
ttt one time a member of the Fed
oral Reserve Hoard, will arrive in Au
gusta Thursday morning to deliver the
principal address at the ’cue. He will
he a guest of Mr. Thomas Barrett, Sr.,
during his stay here. The fact that
Mr. Williams will be present will
draw to the ’cue hundreds who other
wise would not come. He has a mes
sage for (ho farmer* of the South, and
they wil not be backward in coming
to hear it.
The program for the Community
’cue, as announced by Secretary H.
A Wheeling of the hoard of Com
merce, Is an elaborate one. It starts
at 10 o’clock In the morning with a
band concert oh Broad street from 10
to 11 o’clock. *A second band concert
takes place from 11 to 12 at Lake View
Dark. The speaking will start prompt
ly at noon, president Wallace H.
Here© of the Board of Commerce act
ing as master of ceremonies. And af
ter the speaking cornea the barbecue

Mr. Clem Castleberry has everything
ready for the ’cue. His supplies he
has purchased in the territory of Au
gusta, on both sides of the Savannah.
It will be as far as possible a home
products affairs, lie has all other ar
rangements made. The dishes have
been secured and put In proper order.
The cooks are ready for the signal to
start. The ladies have all the ar
rangements made to serve tin* meal.
It was they who served it lust year,
and that whs one of the best tilings
about the meal, the manner In which
it wns served.
The entertainment committee has
some cards hidden Up its sleeve, but
they will be revealed the day of the
Vu, to the nurprise and .satisfaction of
the guests, its members promise.
There are surprises in store in other
lines as well.
The only thing that remains 4o be
done in order to make the 1921 ’cue
greater than the greatest previous one
is to make the people of Augusta
realize the size and importance of the
task ahead. Could they but s»*e the
great good that Will come from it, not
only for the city, but for every in
dividual In It as we'l It would require
a couple of traffic policemen to handle
the crowd seeking ticket* nt the office
of the Board of Commerce. Buy yours
today, the crowd Is bound to come
eventually.

"I woke the boy from his sleep and
said. ‘Look out, George, I'm coming;
i'rn going to do something 1 never did
before ’ He repeated that he was
in a mad flt when ho committed the
crime, and said that he often had
such fits.
The negro denied that he had used
the bloody ii x e which was found in
the yard. He said that after he killed
the boy he went to a hydrant In the
house ami washed the blood off hie

senting the Augusta lodge of Elks
and the Alee Temple, Nobles of the

TO REDUCE WELFARE
ACTIVITIES 1-3
WARSAW.—The American Joint
Distribution Committee which has
been doing relief work among the Jew
ish population In Poland nearly two
years Is preparing to greatly reduce
Its activities early in July, It was an
nounced In Warsaw recently. Ap
proximately $25,000,000 has been ex*
pended to date.
One of the principal task* under*-
taken by the Joint Distribution Com-*
mitten was the sending of money from
Individuals in America to poof rela
tives In Poland. This work has al
ready been discontinued.
Wiille the welfare work of the Joint
Distribution Committee is to be cut
down about one-thli*d, the care of a
limited number of orphans in Poland
and Jewish refugees coming from Rus
sia is to be continued. Reconstruc
tion work in the war-stricken district*
is alho to go on, 300 villages scattered
along the eastern borders of Poland
already having been benefltted by
water supply stations.
An educational campaign under di
rect lon of Dr. Harry Foltz of New
York City, designed to teach the bene
fits of sanitation was Inaugurated this
year. In these operations it is plan
ned to reach virtually every Jewish
home, in the smaller towns throughout
Poland which has a Jewish population
of something like 4,000,000. The total
population of the new republic Is ap
proximately 30,000,000.
Sixteen doctors from America who
began their field work last fall are tn
continue Indefinitely, working in tho
districts where there is the most need.
Under supervision of the Joint Dis
tribution Committee medical depart
ment, ninety-two hospitals have been
established in various Jewish settle
ments. Some 500 public bath houses
have also been erected in as many
villages, many of which had never
had such an Institution until thin
spring.
Within the last few monthß mors
than 100,000 children have been vac
cinated against smallpox by the Joint
Distribution Committee doctors and
their assistants.
Hereafter, virtually all efforts ars
to be directed more toward productive
work designed to help permanently
the thousands of war sufferers and
others who have been aided to get a
new start in life and who are gradu
illy becoming Independent of charity.
