"Tht Phonograph With a Soul *
What Edison did
during the War
Til K official announcement is out.
Ask us lor your copy of "What
Edbcm Did During the War." Writ*
for it, if you can't, call.
It tells how Edison left his home and
business and wertt to sea, how Edison's
"Yankee magic** foiled the (.German
submarines.
The bulletin tells many other things
Edison did while Chairman of the Naval
Consulting Hoard. It explains how
Edison kept the price of his phonograph
at bed rock during an era of high costs
and soaring prices. Since 1914 the New
Edison has advanced in price less than
15%? : and part of t his is war tax.
This bulletin also describes the Bud
get Plan, which makes it possible for
every home to enjoy the benefits of good
music without feeling the financial
outlay.

for Invivptlgatloual work In South Tex

Texas. After two more rTiunges all
work was centered at the Delta Labor

the heart of the holl weevil territory.
The body of entomologists assembled
there under Mr. H, Tt, Coaid, the best

used In every known way, and failure
resulted in every instance. One day,
about 'D1 I. while chemically Mending

at the Station, a eoiUiie-Krttduate ma

Joh of developing" a machine to ade
quately serve the particular purpose
w >h parted. Suffice It to nay that
such a machine was developed, and has
imw attained a high degree of efficien
cy. Also, government patents were
secured on tho five basic principles In

Coincident with the development of
the poison and of the machine for ap
plying It. was the development of tobe
utilization of calcium arsenate from
the practical standpoint. The first
step w.N test plat work, In which, on
plats of approximately one acre in
sl/.c, tests were conducted to determine
the efficiency of calcium arsenate In
comparison with oMier ijoisons, the
nrhou'it neeessiry to use at each appll
cation, and the desirable number of
application*. Following .success with
the few small plots, a gradual develop
ment started. Small areas were rent
ed from farmers In the vicinity of
Tallulah. and more extensive fests
were^nade. The news spread, and the
farmers farther out got In t'oudh with
the Tallultih Station and had tests
made on their farms.
Development along these lines con
tinued until 101(1, when we had that
rainy season so well remembered by
farmers throughout the South. Dur
ing that vear *01110 really startling
results were secured. <>uite a number
01 tests were made, and practically alt
were successful on one plantation.
