METHOD OF
EXTERMINATING
BOLL WSEVIL
Mr. Editor:
Your pessimistic editorial in yesterday's
Daily Times came at the
same time as the paper carrying a
remedy for the boll weevil il!9. So I
ask you to publish it and give it wide
distribution together with the advice
to begin the battle?the boll weevil
battle?and we will win out.
You know Union County volunteers
love war, so command them to go to
it. They will win out and it behooves
us all to save every pound of cotton
that our manly labor and sweat has
produced this year.
The cotton crop in Union County is
practicaly made and it would be a
cowardly shame to allow the boll weevil
or any other enemy to lake it
away from us or destroy it with the
desperate battle for its saving.
Then here's for "the fight to the
finish." Calcium arsenate is a poison
that will kill the enemy, molasses is
the 'cheap sweet" that will attract
the enemy's appetite and lure him to
his death and destruction. Come on,
fall in and let's go!

Georgia Negro Discovers That Poisoned
Molasses Kills Weevils.
(The Monroe Journal.)
Since the discovery of cotton's
greatest foe, the boll weevil, agricultural
experts have struggled in vain
against the toll the pest has exacted
throughout the cotton growing states
of the South, says the Chattanooga
Times. It has been estimated by men
well informed that the South has lost
because of the pest a sum in eXcess of
five hundred million dollars.
About a week ago, Mercer Reynolds,
Chattanooga's well-known manufacturer,
inventor and capitalist, was told
I by a reliable man, who Wfca a \iaftor
in the city, that the "molasjetf" treatment"
had been tried out in several
sections of Georgia and had in every
instance been successful in the elimination
of the bol lweevil. Mr. Reynolds
was especially interested in the report
coming as it did from a particularly
reliable source, because it was not the
first time the story had been told him.
Previously, however, it had always
been explained the informant had
merely heard of the treatment and
could not give definite information
concerning it or give the name of anyone
who had made any practical test.
This time, however, Mr. Reynolds' informant
was not only able to personally
vouch for the sueoess of the
treatment as a result of his own observations,
but in addition he gave
Mr. Reynolds the name of a man who
was reliable and responsible and who
was especially interested because of
his own experience and his desire to
give wide publicity to the treatment,
| which he is convinced is a positive exterminator,
practical and inexpensive.
This man is J. M. Strother, a cotton
mill man, who owns a large plant
in Louisvile, Ga.
Mr. Reynolds' interest was so
aroused he telegraphed Mr. Strother
at Louisville, making inquiry. Mr.
Strother's son acknowledged the message,
advising the sender his father
was in South Carolina and the telegram
had been forwarded him.
Monday Mr. Reynolds received a
letter from Mr. Strother, written
from Walhalla, S. C., wherein the latter
confirmed all that had been told
Mr. Reynolds and wherein he describes
the treatment and expresses
the belief the weevil can be exterminated
throughout the country within a
year or two if the molasses treatment
is utilized. His letter follows:
Walhalla, S. C., July 2, 1921.
Mr. Mercer Reynolds.
Chattanooga, Tenn.
Dear Sir: Your telegram of June
29, 1921, was forwarded to me here
and I do not know if my son, whom I
left in eharce of mv mill at l miie?;iio
Ga., answered it or not, and^ar fear
he did not send you the ^mormktion
you desire I am sending it to you
now. Am sorry for the delay and
hope it is not too late for you to get
benefits from the treatment.
Now, this treatment is simply feeding
the boll weevil on molasses
poisoned with calcium arsenate. You
take two pounds of calcium arsenate
and dissolve it thoroughly in one
quart of water and mix this with one
gallon of molasses. Make a mop by
tying a small rag on the end of a
small stick or switch and uip this mop
in molasses mixture and touch each
stalk of cotton. Do not use much of
the mixture; it will not hurt the cotton
plant, but is simply a waste of
material. The above amount should
be sufficient to go over three acres of
cotton if properly applied. It is better
to put the mixture in the bud of
the sta+k, but applied on any part
of the plant will do all right. The
weevils hunt the molasses to feed on
it and will find it if put on the plant,
but they will find it quicker if put on
the bud.
I have given this treatment as
much publicity as I could and from
every place that it has been tried out
they claim a grand success, and the
| people who have tried it are very
much pleased. I have yet to hear of
any one trying it and finding any weevils
after treating the cotton plants.
Some of the weevils are killed in five
minutes after eating, and others it
takes as much as an hour for them to
die. It depends of course on the
amount of poison they get when eating
it. is the simplest and most
effective treatment I have ever heard
of, and I believe the weevils can be
entirely exterminated in a year or
two by the treatment. The treatment
can be applied at any time and
under any conditions, but of course
the rain will wash off the mixture, but
in every instance it has killed the weevils
in from one to two days, and I
see no reason why a farmer should
lose any cotton at all from the weevil.
This treatment was discovered by a
negro just above Louisville, Ga., who
was picking weevils when his breanfast
was/ brought to him, and eating
his breakfast, he dropped some molasses
on a stalk of cotton and noticed
that the weevils began eating the
