F. D. 2, Box 46 The Hand Gun in Boll Weevil Poisoning. Clemson College, March 16- Dust ing machines consist of two types. One is the traction machine also known as the traction power ma chine. The bellows are driven from sprockets on the axles of the ground wheels. These machines, at present prices of materials and workmanship, are too expensive for the very small cottonfarmer. It is, therefore, neces sary for such persons to employ hand dusting machines. None of the old type well known dusting machines are satisfactory for this work. Fur thermore, the hand dusting machine has not shown itself capable of doing ps good work as the traction machine and the hand machines are primarily intended to supplement the traction machines for nooks and comers of the plantation that cannot be reached by the large machines. The warning against the purchas ing of hand dusting machines is the same as for traction machines; name ly, in the purchasing, the farmer ?should ask the entomologists for in formation in regard to the machine because the wrong kind is of little or no value. Itis believed that there will be a number of machines on the market before dusting begins about July, but at the present time they are un der construction and will be tested out by the Federal Government, whereupon full information as to the merits of the different machines will be published for the information of the farmers.

Farmers and people generally will be forced to adopt labor saving de vices and implements of every form. A good way for farmers to begin is the purchase of a tractor.
