B. McKerley of the Ml Cal vary section. With about tlx* hun dred pou’ids of 10-4-4 fertiliser to the acre he made sixteen hundred forty-two pounds of lint cotton on three acres. Mr. McKerley used a flour sack to dust calcium arsenate early and later used a hand dust gun. On other fields he hah syrup arsenate and water used, but did not make any thing like the amount of cotton that he made where he dusted. “My experience shows that two or three applications of dust can be effectively used and will delay the time when general dusting will be necessary. This early dust may be applied with a piece of cheese cloth or thin flour sack tied to a syrup can with the bottom out, or better still with a small machine that will apply small amounts of the dust. “First fight dusting should be ap plied just about the time the first squares are large enough to be punctured, followed by one or two rpore after waiting six to eight tfay*. Att itefrt must he applied when its still and -better when dew is fall ing.
