June 9.?The | Government estimate of June 2nd, | indicates a crop of 7 1-2 million e bales. Cotton will no doubt bring a | fair price this Fall; but if we have | no cotton to H^ll, how much will it | profit us though the price be 40 & cents? | Calcium Arsenate will kill the boll' | weevil. This facJ has been well es- | tablished by Government tests. We | have experimented with this poison E on several infested acres and the re- | stilt was very satisfactory; so much g so in fact that we are going to see | that every tenaiw-on our farm uses | it I The method of applying calcium | arsenate varies. Some prefer dusting | the dry powder on the plant by means | of a chsese cloth bag attached to the | end of a stick (much the same as a e woman uses a powder puff.) Many | different mechanical devices for | /Inofinn OVA AM fliA movlrA^ TKA MAL (? uuswuig Biv vu vut maiatkt g son when applied in dry form should | be. put on while the dew is on the | plant; this necessitates night work. G The method we used in our test is e the one used by a prominent Geor- jf gia planter who writes us that if the ? poison is applied according to his | direction an average crop will re- | suit. The plan is this. ^ Dissolve one pound calcium arse- j| nate in one quart warm water, add f one" gallon cheep molasses, stir for 1 30 minutes and apply to the plant, | using a small mop on the end of a | stick lohg enough to touch the leaves | of the T>l&nt in a fast walk.

The above mixture will be suf- ? fieient for one application to five | acres. Calcium arsenate, cost from 16c to j| 18c per pound, wholesale, according B to amount purchased.

If you have not : seen it in your cotton it is because ] you have not examined close enough. . Do not think it will do no harm because, of our geographical location. 1 An old timer told us the weevil would put on his snow shoes and follow the cotton plant to the North pole. We . have been corresponding with reli- 1 able people in towns along latitude t 34, and we are convinced that we are J not immune because we are "higher ? np" in the cotton belt. 1 The Mayor of Marietta, Ga., writes j ust that he estimates the crop in his < County will be cut 50 per cent by the i weevil. Marietta is on latitude >4, j same as Mt. Carmel and the altitude ] of- the town is 1200 feet, twice as ' high as Mt. Carmel.
