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

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.
