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.

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.
Replying to congratulations Mr
Rockefeller declared:

Wishing.
Do you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do.
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?
Then remember day by day
lust to scatter seeds of kind.iess as
you pass along the way;
?or the pleasure of the many may
ofttimes be traced to one,
^s the hand that plants the acorn
shelters armies from the sun.
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
