MUST WORK IN WET WEATHER AGAINST WEEVIL Must Show As Much Energy As He Does, Says Depart - ment Under the heading, "Boll Wee vils Work in Wet Weather?So Must the Cotton Planter," the De partment of Agriculture sends out the following a<klitional instruc tions on how to win the battle with the pest: If you expect to whip the boll Weevil in fair fight, you have got to show as much energy as he does?which means that though the operation may be both difficult and unjpleasant, poisoning must 5>e done even when the plants are wet and the ground muddy, so says the United States Department of Agri culture with regard to poisoning the weevil with calcium arsenate. The Department has found that during the critical stage, the poi soning should be done at intervals of about four days. Two or three applications, made in good weather may have got the weevils under oon+rol. Thp-n thprp romps n rain\ spell and the farmer lets the tim? for poisoning1 pass while he waits for fair weather. But that is exact ly the time when the weevil i< busiest. The numbers are likely tc increase so rapidly that the con trol already gained is lost. In thai event, the weevil inflicts about as much damage as if no poisoning had been done and the farmer loses in addition, what he has spent ir poisoning: operations. The onlj way to prevent that sort of resull is to let wet weather interfere as little as possible with poisoning operations. Stick to the schedule, the department says, regardless of weather conditions. The Department realizes, of course, that poisoning cannot be done in pouring rain but the farm er the specialists urge, should take advantage of the earliest oppor tunity to get back into the field af tor rain fViaf .Vio cVirmlrl mol'P every effort to get the cotton again dusted regularly, even though fair weather does not seem certain. He can afford they say to put on poison even in unsettled weather. It may be washed off \ again shortly but, on the other hand, the weather, even when it 1r?nL-c mnct + V?r^Q+^>r*ir? cr TYia\r ct.Q T7 fair long enough to allow weevil control to operate. Every farmer, it is pointed out, must expect to lose some poison by rain but the operation is sufficiently profitable to justify it. HOSPITAL X-RAY. Miss Rebecca Cater, who has been engaged in raising money to buy an X-Ray machine to be presented to the hospital, is in sight of success, and desires that those interested in the enterprise give the movement one more push in order to get across. The apparatus is to cost $850, of which ?- i f ! i i ; i o r> n n amount miss i^ater nas raiseu $ouu, leaving $50 yet to be raised. This sum Miss Cater is anxious to have at once in order that the X-Ray may be paid for in full. Miss Cater will appreciate it very much if those who read this notice will, call her, telling just what a mount they are willing to contribute in order to make up this $50.00, or better still she will be glad to re ceive checks in person, through the mail or otherwise. One person may give the whole sum, or any person may give as small amount as he likes, but the sum total of gifts now needed is the sum stated. The time to at tend to these gifts, Miss Cater says is now. The money is needed just now. 1^ i V LOWNDESVILLE V Mr. and Mrs. W. W.
