BUS. WHITTLE MAKES REPLY TO COKER Member of Soil Improvement Com-: mittee Thinks Hartsville Citizen j Made Wrong Deduction* Further discussing the methods of cotton boll weevil control, C. A. j Whittle, editorial manager, soil imw ant ?? Oil t.h PTfl F CI' L/l \S * ^AlHwi.1 V Wittuiivvvvi _ -I tilizer associaiton, Atlanta, has written a letter to David R. Coker, Harts-; ville, dated July 10, and sent a copy to The State. The letter follows. j I r I have received your letter answer-' ing mine of recent date and I am, seizing the first opportunity to reply. J My work has been keeping me so con- j stantly away from the office that re-j plies have not been as prompt -is-they otherwise would have been. I .find that you have taken me to task for something which I think my, letter did not say. Your letter says:' "I do not agree with you at all that ? ~? * ?c< OAt1f<]lieivP tOStS' we can nut ancui uo \.u?vit.u..v r ; made by educated and reliable farm-; ers." I submit that you have quite mis- j read what I said: "But where proper methods are used for getting exact truth, the findings of farmers are just as good as the findings of scientists. In fact, some of our most important' agricultural discoveries have been made by farmers." I also said: "The tests in progressj this year can not be judged, we think : until the end of the season." If your j statement is based on this last quota- ; tion, then I must insist that any con-: elusive evidence of boll weevil con-^ trol must be valued in cotton, cotton at harvest time?no other measuring rod will do. I accept the evidence you present, < ? x-v ! but it was not necessary xor me uv. accept it in order to be convinced that poisorfed moiasses would" kill weevils. I was convinced of that by abundant evidence last year. My indictment of poisoned molasses as a means of killing weevils is: \ (1) It is neither as effective nor as inexpensive as calcium arsenate dust on young cotton, which is the time; when the effectiveness of poisoned molasses is greatest. A pound of calcium arsenate dust will successfully treat an acre when cotton is small. This year a pound of a i rr calcium arsenate costs ten iv xo cents, and it costs less to apply dust than it costs to apply molasses. (2) As the cotton grows larger the ?' effectiveness of poisoned molasses decreases and becomes negligible, while the effectiveness of the dust poison does not decrease. . (3) Calcium arsenate dust is not only more effective than poisoned molasses in the early period, but be- f' cause of its greater effectiveness throughout the period of cotton growth, it holds down infestation more successfully and renders the danger less at the migrating period. (4) Poisoned molasses on cotton is not a means of protection at migrating time. Only calcium arsenate dust on the cotton affords protection. /rv mnloiicoc 9f,tTa(,t3 JinQ 9 ^ t)/ JT U1k)UUCU niviuuovu wwv. kills honey bees and other insects that love sweets, whose greatest service to the farmer is in fertilizing the flowers of crops, thereby increasing the yield. (6) Poisoned sweets, because of their sweetness, are eaten greedily by animals. Cattle have been killed by thpm MiiIps that havo J.CCUXU5 v/** brushed poisoned sweers o*f of the cotton on to their legs and licked the sweet material off are reporter! tc have been killed. The danger of poisoned sweets to animnls is not great and 1 do not rank that objection as reparian; as the other objections cited. I want to call your attention to the fact that it is no: easy to judge the effectiveness of poi3on yppa?u early in the season. It is t^ien :">ic.t the old weevils are .ly!p..r jdIT rapidly/ On account of lateness of cotton this year, a greater percentage of weevils died a natural death before squares formed than ordinarily. All that survived until they c >u!d puncture a square died shortly thereafter. Then there was a period when we had practically 210 old weeviis and unless their eggs had hatched out into new enes, you could not expect to find hardly any weevi'.s m the- cotton. It is, oi course, ine w?e\?Ks ami c now hatching out that threaten t!:c crop seriously, "It is because many wear's die bofore they can find squares to puncture that we advocate only one application of poison in killing old weevils. That application should be made jus: before the ry.irars get n g emuerh to puncture. Fo1! .rat, w.1 advocate the use of oo'; >r. rijv.eu in strict accordance with the rulos Kv +V10 ffAVPrnniPTit ifliu ViV/ A* wj V* ^ perts. You mention plant lice damage on cotton poisoned with calcium arsenate dust list year vi So.ith Carolina. It seems ofi'' e evit?'?r:t that your cotton suffered in this way. Upon report of your trouble. Mr. Coad made a survey of all poisoned cotton under | his observation, numbering hundreds j of fields throughout the South, and; found that two in this country, as 11 recall showed some signs of plant lice injury due to calcium arsenate and one marked instance of damage in a r iviexicu. Of course, last season was unusual for plant louse damage in the South-1 east. It seems that calcium arsenate j killed the natural enemies of the plant louse in your case and I un-' derstand the lice were so bad that the honey dew dripped from them on j the open cotton, thus doins: it dam- J age. I We do not think fhe plant louse,! except rarely, will be abundant enough to do much damage. When it < is abundant it can be killed with nic-; otine sulphate. j But, at that, we think you would rather have plant lice than Doll wee- j ";l? "nmo fn a rhnice. V ilO ii AC- vv ? I I thank you for the invitation to visit your farm. I have olannod a ' I trip of observation through South i Carolina and I will visit Hartsville, j where I shall be glad to see you and: observe what you are d'-ing in boll; weevil control. WAYCROSS SENDS CALL FOR TROOPS t ? ! Disorder Near Railroad SJiop"??Ma-j ny Beaten, Others Said t-j Havt j Been Driven From City Wavcross, Ga., July 1'7.?S?r.0'jsj disorders occurred here ?h;s ;iftcr-' noon near the Atlantic Coast Line. shops between strike sympathizers and railroad officials. It is under-, stood that the railroad and county j officers have called on Governor Hardwick for troops. The trouble is said to have started at an early hour this afternoon when j two shop foremen attempted to bring 1 into the railroad shops twp strike- > breakers. The four men were set' upon and badly beaten. Free for all; fight-nig followed. The police report-! ed no one slain, but several men are said to have been injured seriously, j There are more than 100 men at; work for the Atlantic Coast Line at ; this Doint. and serious trouble is ex pected by officiate. Sheriff H. J. Sweat officially wired' Governor Harawick tonight that he! believed the strike situation beyond i control and that troops were needed at once. The sheriff stec?-.d that so far as he could ascertain nearly 50 . men said to be pres.nt employees of <' the railroad had been either beaten severely or driven from tho city. j i Atlanta, July 17.?Gove-mor Hard-! wick tonight authorised Adj". Gen. J .Van Holt Nash to send Georgia NaGuardsmen to Waycross, wiiT-ej disorders were renoued hte to.Jay in connection with a str'kx- of s ;n\e, 1.000 union employes rf rb.-r Ar.:ir>; tic Coast Line railway. General j Nash later said to newspapermen over the telephone from Brunswick, Ga.. that he had telephoned t:> Waycross and did not believe the sending, of troops was yet necessary. If it be-; came necessary, he aiuei. they would be sent. The governor acted on the : oil Sheriff H. J. Sweat, \t Wayvuss, who advised him that clashes between; present employees and strike sympa-j thizers were beyond his control. Dipatches from Waycross said that Sheriff Sweat announced that more than j .50 of the approximately 100 men at work in the shops had been beaten or driven from town. The chief trouble was said to have occurred this afternoon. No one was killed as far as could be learned. The Georgia National Guard is on its annual summer encamment at St. Simon's island pear Brunswick, Ga.,; and Governor Hardwick telephoned Adjt. Gen. J. Van Holt Nash* in com-; mand, to send as many* men as he thought would be able to hanlde thfe * i 1 ~ri. situation. He was said to nave ieit | the personnel and other details to General Nash. General Nash said tonight over the .telephone that he would talk to Sheriff Sweat tomorrow morning: and if the situation warranted he would , send troops." Railroad shops at Waycross were under guard today and the attacks alleged to'have been made were car, ried out by small parties of men in automobiles who seized their victims l in the streets and beat them un, ac* 7 j cording to a statement made tonight . by Sheriff Sweat. He reported six or sev"5n men painfull hurt but no fatalities.
