Shades are “Springless.”
'I hey never fly up. They
are built so simply and so
well that they never cause
any trouble. A single cord
controls the upward and
downward movement.
No danger of their being pulled off the roller either. Then,
too, the fact that they are handled so much less means less
strain on the fabric, and none of the ugly finger-prints that
so quickly disfigure ordinary shades.
‘T’ujStV’ Springlcss Shades have established a new standard
of windtow shade comfort and convenience. Huilt with such
care that they last a lifetime. Made in all grades of material
from »e cheapest water colors to the finest cambrics and
linens/And in a variety of tints to harmonize with any scheme
of decoration. Special orders can be filled promptly.
d
‘‘CivCo” Springless Shades mean the end of your window
shade troubles, and they cost only a very little more than the
ordinary kind. Any dealer will gladly demonstrate them to-day.

Calcium arsenate, the boll weevil
poiaos. was applied to*'! more than
j 100.000 acres of cotton in Mississippi,
Louisian*. Arkhnuas and. Texas dur
ing the season of 1919, under the di
rection of government experts. The
resuLs obtained lead them to stale
that n saving of 509 pounds of seed
cotton to the acre were not an un
usual matter, and, in some cases, as
tuocb as 1,000 pounds were protected
from the weevil.
; These savings have been made at
an outlay of from $t».00 to $10.00 per
I acre, which includes cost of materials,
[ labor and reasonable charge for de-
i predation of machinery. At the price
| a: v/.. ch coticn is now selling this
would indicate that it is well worth
while to poison the boll weevil.
It is advised by ihose who have per
fected this means of holding the wee
vil in check that the additional cost of
growing cotton should not be assumed
on very low yielding acres, therefore
cotton should be grown on the better
land and be fertilized so as to pro
duce maximum yields.
In combatting th? weevil with poi
son, it is not possible to exterminate
it. but the object is to control it so
that they will not destroy more squares
of the cotton than would naturally
shed. This, it has been found, can
he done, thus assuring the fanner
that he can grow a fullcrop under boll
weevil conditions.
When to Begin Poisoning
Poison is not applied until about
10 to 15 per cent of the squares have
been punctured. The time to begin
can be determined by going into the
field in various places, counting a
hundred squares taking all on each
plant, and if ten to fifteen out of
each 100 is destroyed, the sprayinr
can begin. In large fields it is fre
quently found that the weevils he
gin near the woods. The poisoning
should begin there and need not be
put all over the field until the in
festatioi has extended to all parts of
it.
How Frequent and Often to Poison
It has been found that if the spray
ing begins when about 19 per cent of
the squares are punctured and if re
peated every four days that as a rule
three sprayings are all that, is neces
sary. If weather interferes and the
applications are more than four days
apart, then more of them must be
made.
Amount Required Per Acre and Coet
From five to seven pounds of cal-
(•um arsenate are required to thor
oughly dust an acre. At the present
time the cost of calcium arsenate is
25 cents per pound. With experi
ence in applying the poison, and a
good machine, five pounds of cal
cium arsenate can be made to do the
work satisfactorily.
Applied When Dew l« On
Since the weevil is poisoned by
drinking dew which has been poison
ed, it is necessary to apply the poi
son while the dew is on the plants.
It is customary to put it on at night,
using good lights with which to see
how to do the work.
Machines Required
Unless u farmer can get a desirable
machine, it is better not to undertake
to use poison. The calcium arsenate
must be forced into the atmosphere
from a machine that will form a dust
cloud. This dust will settle on all
parts of the plant.
Three types of machines arc to be
had, a hand gun that it) suitable tor
twenty-five acres and under, cart
sprays and power sprays for larger
operations. Various types of machine!)
are tested by Professor Goad and as
seriates at Tallulah, La., and they will
give information as to which are sat
isfactory. In this connection, these
government men will also analyze
samples of calcium arsenate without
charge to see if they conform to spec-
ificationS. It is essential that the ma
terial conform exactly to specifica
tions.
A few simple precautions are all
that is necessary to prevent hana to
farm animals and operators of the
machines, such as muzzling the horses
and the men washing before eating.
If Calcium Arsenate is not all used
one season it can be carried over the
next and be just as good for use then.
It does not deteriorate if kept in a
dry place.
Some few farmers have tried cal
cium arsenate and claim to have ob
tained no desirable results. A num
ber of these failures have been inves
tigated and almost invariably it has
been found that the reason they failed
is tbat tbey did not fdllow instructions.
It is not considered advisable for a
group of farmers to co-operate in buy
ing a large machine to apply the poi
son for the reason tha* the period when
poison must be applied is brief, and
if weather interferes to some extent,
It woqll be found that all the farmers
would want the use of the machine
at the same timo.
The method usually employed to
make plaster-of-Paris casts resemble
mnrhle is to saturate the dry casts
with pure metal steurino or stearic

See Us Demonstrate
This Great Exclusive Feature
S ELLERS leadership is not a matter of
chance. It has been won only because
of the superior service rendered by the
Sellers.
Our Automatic Lowering Flour Bin, for
example, costs us $52,000 extra each year
—that is, $52,000 more than the best of
other types of bins would cost us. But
see the service it gives.
Instead of having to clamber up on a
chair, straining and puffing, with a heavy
sack of flour to fill the bin, you merely
pull the Sellers Automatic Flour Bin down
level with the work table. You fill it with
absolute ease. Then a quick movement
unlocks it and it slips quietly up into place.
This single, long-wanted improvement is
welcomed by women everywhere as a
godsend. Any physician will approve it.
