Boll Weevil Control. Note. I give below in plain, easily under stood language, all of the poisoning methods and all of the cultural meth ods known today to and advised by the government-it is a complete boll weevil control to date/ To control the weevil means prosperity to the far mer and to business in general and it may mean( the saving of an indus try which before the war gave this great country of ours its credit bal ance in trade. I have printed many thousands of these in a little one page form for free distribution. The cot ton factors of Augusta are mailing ?out today four or five thousand of them .1 am printing below this matter ? which I have prepared in sheet form for distribution. Dusting Machines. First, dusting in the bud. A weevil killed in May or June is equivalent to killing hundreds of weevils later on. Make a small six or eight pound bag, and attach a wooden handle and sew cheese cloth for the bag's bottom, giving it a diameter of about ten inches-the same diameter as the plant. Put in bag one-half pound of Calcium Arsenate and flip bag over plant as walking down the row. Use cheese cloth bag only when dew is on the plant, best time is five to seven J j a. m. Second, for dusting later on, the big plants, for poisoning the dew ( which serves the weevil for drink, j Dust at night. After, a hard rain i (which washes off poison) dust again. ] For one-horse farmer use "Spring- x field" standard hand gun, price $15. ^ For the larger farmer use "Iron Age Cotton Dusters," two wheeled, cart type, dusting rows and with slight- >] est breeze blowing dusting five rows c at a time, using two mules and one p man, dusting about twenty-five acres ( a night and thoroughly reliable. Cal-1 cium Arsenate is so cheap and the Iron Age does such rapid work, that many people dust the weevil with this . machine just as soon as squares ap pear. Every man planting thirty acres Q of cotton or more should have an ^ Iron Age dusting machine. It does the work far better than a hand ma- fc chine can possibly do and its rapidity . makes it a matter of greatest econo- ^ my. The machine is fifty dollars ^ cheaper than last year. The present J. price is $275 without a light f. o. b. Savannah. Dusting. Dusting the plant must be made | ? always by night and only on the dew wet plant. One pound of Calcium p Arsenate for dusting the bud should ?j cover about one acre. For dusting the Q large plant it requires for each dust- c ing about five pounds per acre. Two p applications may be necessary for ?( dusting the bud; about three applica- ^ tions may be indicated for dusting ^ the large plant-beginning very late y in June and ending about August the s 10th. Begin this-later dusting when t the squares show ten per cent infec tion. Try to keep your field infection down to fifteen per cent. Possibly a 200 pound barrell of Calcium Arsen ate would take care of about six acres with bud dusting and about eight acres without bud dusting. The Infected Squares. | ^ The infected squares contain one or more weevil worms. An infected square remains on the cotton plant j g about eleven days and then falls to the ground, and eleven days later J fc from the fallen square emerges the .new born weevil. Pick up and burn twice a week all infected squares on the ground, using Boll Weevil De stroyer (price $1.25 postpaid), an iron stick with prongs which spear the square and does the work of three 11 or four men. Where labor is plentiful use not only the Boll Weevil De-|j .stroyer on fallen squares, but go also through the field, bending the plants 11 and picking off from same all the in fected squares-these look dead and J.j pale and not green. Cultivate. Cultivate all i cotton rows after -weevils infest squares twice a week with a sweep. By no means ever lay by your cotton but keep up cultiva tion twice a week until August. In cultivating, tie at each end of single tree, two jute sacks, which, in the plowing strike the cotton and cause the weevils to fall upon the ground -the sweep covering up both weevils and infected squares. - Close Spacing. Space your cotton a hoe's width in the row, one stalk to the hill (even four inches in the row does not hunr) thin out late when plants are six or eight inches high. This produces early cotton and on the main stem and eliminates the later producing, big shadowing, vegetative lower limbs. Distance between rows should be thir ty to thirty-six inches. Cultivate eight acers to the plow. Turning Cotton Under. About October the fifteenth be fore irost time, turn under all cot ton stalks, or if large, cut out and burn. This kills per acre eight to fif teen thousand weevils and prevents I hibernation. ? Calcium Arsenate. Calcium Arsenate is about ten cents a pound cheaper than a year ago. It is put up in two hundred pound barrels. The usual trade price today is ten barrels, one ton, 14 cents; five barrels at 14 1-2 cents; one or two barreds at 15 cents; 100 pound barrels at 16 cents; less amounts, 17 cents per pound-N. L. Willett in Augusta Chronicle. Magic of Caruso's Voice Gone. To those who have never heard him sing, as well as to those who have enjoyed his songs, it will be distress ing news that, in all probability the magic of Caruso's voice is gone. There is no definite statement to this effect, but such intimations have just been brought to America from Italy. Captain Charles Anthony Fulton of the United States Army Intelli gence Service, who arrived from Na ples the other day on the liner Presi dente Wilson brings this bad news Captain Fulton who is stationed at Sorrento for the summer, informs the Mew York Times that he saw Caruso in Naples, and that he seemed in very poor health. The tenor expressed his relief to the army officer that he vould never again sing as heretofore, md almost broke down as he said it, Captain Fulton added. Captain Et ;ore, commander of the Presidente hilson, said that opinions throughout italy in musical circles were pessi nistic about Caruso recovering his roice. Enrico Caruso has delighted Ameri :an audiences for eighteen years. That he may not sing again in this ountry in his old voice will be de ilored on every land.-Augusta chronicle. The Registered Nurse. Just what difference there is be ween the service rendered by the urse inthe East and the nurse >in the louth is not fully explained; but we nd in the East a growing adverse riticism of the manner of service of he registered nurses. Not that she oes not understand her duties at the edside of the sick, and performs hese duties willingly and intelligent er; but she requires too much wait ig on herself, and makes it a point o avoid lifting a hand other than in he strict line of her professional uties. There has arisen, principally in philadelphia, a deman_d_JEor a new Lyle nurse-a school of nurses other, ian those who are specialists. The all is for-as defined in letter in 'hiladelphia Public Ledger-a short erm training for women who desire ;-such as can be furnished by the ospitals or other institutions-in one ear or two years. The point at is ue is expressed in this statement in he letter referred to:. "Now what seems to be aimed at is high education, and the training iven pupils is almost verging on that .iven doctors jn their training. * * 'here are times when the nurse can irell descend from her heights and lelp a little in the management of the louse affairs. The practical feature is lot instilled into the training of the lupil nurse of today, and when she .raduates and becomes an "R. N., he is taught not to be "practical," ?ut "professional," and it is this re tricted sense of duty to the sick that tas aroused so much opposition to turses." That for which Philadelphia is ap >ealing, in addition to the highly rained specializing nurses, is the raining of a number of qualified vomen "who will mix in with their mowledge of how to look after the iverage sick individual a willingness ;o help in matters that'will serve to nake them really useful, not only to ;he sick, but to the family of the ;ick."-Augusta Chronicle. Strong Appeal for Warless World. New York, July 10.-More than sixteen thousand delegates to the sixth world's Christian Endeavor con vention today gave a tremendous demonstration to an appeal for a "warless world" and a demand that the United States join some inter national association to promote world peace. . They cheered Fred B. Smith, chair man of the commission on inter church federation, federal'council of thechurches of Christ in America, as he urged all Christian churches to bring pressure to bear upon the au thorities at Washington to make America a member of the league of nations or some other guild. "It 'S the Christian duty of this country without further delay to join some league or guild that will pro mote world peace," he declared, add ing "if isolation from other nations comes, it will be the saddest hour in ? the history of the United States."! The speaker said he-had made a three months' tour of- Europe and a careful study of conditions had forced him to realize that never in its history did the entire world rest upon c r"?re volcanic economic footing. , Germany, he asserted, was the only country in the world whose basic pow er is secure. Every nation, he added,, turns to America for hope, and America must be the salvation of the world. "Those who declare it the duty of | America to look out (for itself and make ourselves secure'while we can," he said, "sound the voice of pagan ism." The speaker in urging the Christian Endeavor to use its organization for the prevention of war, said he believ ed that a company of men had organ ized in this country to bring about conflict with Mexico for their own selfish interests. Prior to Mr. Smith's speech repre sentatives of foreign lands made brief addresses of greeting. Robert Speer, president of the Fed eral Council of Churches of Christ in America, declared that the doctrine sf Christ is the one and only solution j ^ Df the' race problem of the United States and other countries. Rockefeller Celebrates Eighty Second Birthday. White Plains, N. Y., July 8. Looking the picture of health, John 3. Rockefeller today greeted the nembers of Goldman's band who vis ted his estate to help celebrate his 52nd birthday with the wish that hey might all live to his age. "Boys, I hope you will live to be as lld as I am," said Mr. Rockefeller, 'and that you will feel as well as I lo now. I have no ache or pains ?nd ?njoy my food. Mr. Rockefeller wore light, gray lothes and tan shoes and did not ap iear*to mind the heat. He insisted on haking' hands with every member f the band. During the two-hour band concert ?rhich followed Mr. Rockefeller re uested that a medley of southern lelodies, including "Suwanee River," Old Black Joe," "My Old Kentucky lome," and others be played. He ap lauded enthusiastically. A huge birthday cake surmounted y eight large candles, each repre-1 gnting ten years, and two small ones, ? rith a figure of a golfer in the cente*?~ ras cut by the oil magnate after the j oncert.

Set a watch upon your actions, keep them always straight and true; Rid your mind of selfish motives, let your thoughts be clean and high; You can make a little Eden of the sphere you occupy. Do you wish the world were wiser? Well, suppose you make a start By accumulating wisdom in the scrapbook of your heart. Do not waste one page on folly; live to leam and learn to live, ; If you want to give men knowledge, you must get it ere you give. Do you wish'the world were happy?
