i' Crossing: the Rio Grande river from
1 Mexico into Texas in 189U the boll
" weevil has spread over practically the
, ^-entire cotton belt. In no section has
3 the weevil been exterminated, but in
every section men have shown thnt it
i is possible and profitable to grow coti
ton under weevil conditions. Usually
the scare is worse than the weevil.
History would indicate that the wee-1
J-, vil may not be quite so serious in the |
Piedmont section, of this state as In;
Jjome of the more southerly sections.
However, we may expect u heavy
. emergence of weevils this spring due
; to an unusually mild winter. Competent
authorities have estimated an
$ fcmergence cf 10 per cent of the wee!
Vlls which went into hibernation last
i fall.
J. . I
Mr. Whittle urged the larmers of
this county to profit by the experience
of farmers who have had the weevil
for several years.
Mr. Whittle dealt with the direct
contr.il measures which should be employed
in fighting the weevil.
The weevil spends the winter in a
dry warm place, usually under the
bark of trees, the roofs of houses and
] other places. He never tries to live!
over winter under the ground.
S. Mr. Whittle advises burning off I
terraces, hedge rows and ditch banks, ,
, but he does not think it advisable to "
i burn off the woods. J
The weevil when he emerges in the 1
spring is necessarily weak and the
i first ones nre usualy found on the t
terminal buds of cotton nearest the 1
' woods. *
There arc two methods of handling *
f the early weevils: First, go over the c
r cotton very carefully about two weeks
' before the first squares form and pick 1
| off these weevils or these early weevils
can be poisoned by dusting a little
? calcium arsenate on the terminal bud o
e?fih p]antr Thi<* poison mav be ii
applied through a fertilizer aim or s
tomato can and poisoning should be tl
. done about two weeks before squares v
' form.. Don't use poisoned molasses as c
it Kns no advantage over dry calcium y
i kNiCnaf.' I- ?
the squares begin to form. The weevil T
cannot reprodce itself except in cot- e
ton square or boll. A single pair of c
weevils and their progeny are capable
of producing in a single favorable t
season as many as 12,000,000 off- i;
spring. These punctured squares b
should be picked up and burned at in- c
tervals of four to five days until about a
July 31st. This square picking, like e
weevil picking, must be done thor- \
oughly if the desired results are ac- t
complished. s
If one does not care to practice T
picking of squares then he can poison s
with calcium arsenate. s
Do your poison work right or not (
at all. ]
Don't poison until 10 to 15 per cent
of your squares are punctured. <

able of producing nt least one-half i
bale per acre without the weevil. <
Don't poison unless you are willing ,
to follow government instructions.
Calcium arsenate is a chemical compound
of calcium and arsenic; it will
kill the weevil but will not kill or
burn the cotton plant.
This poison is applied in dust form
and is put on by moans of machines.
There are several types of machines
on th'? market, the hand gun which
costs from $12.50 to $20.00, is sufficiently
large to take care of five
to eight acres of cotton; the mule-1
back machine costs from $45.00 to
$55.00, and will care for eight to fifty
acres; the one-horse machine is l^irge
enougn to care for 00 to 75 acres and.
costs from $100 to $125. The larger
type machines cost about $300, but
are not advised for use on heavy Piedmont
soils.
In poisoning one must be careful |
to buy a good machine and standard
poison.
The best time to apply poison is dur- i
ing a period of still," moist atmosphere
which is usually in the early
morning or late afternoon. Apply
about five pounds per acre and repeat
every four days for three applications.
If it should rain hard within 24 hours
the poison will be washed off and another
application should be made im
mediately. However, if a full 24 hours
should have passed before it rains, you
are alright.
The eost of the poison will be about
$1.50 to $2.00 per acre. *
Mr. Whittle does not advise Union
county farmers to go in for poisoning
on a heavy scale hut he does advise
that every farmer who can practice
some poisoning in order that he may
Know how next year.
Plow under stalks as soon as possible
after cotton is picked.
Some Don'ta.
Mr. Whittle enumerated a numbei
of things, some of which sound reasonable,
which will probably be ad
\anced to the farmers of this county
as a means of control. Among thes<
are the trap, sap poisoning, gas poi
soning, light and tub and topping

H. Jeter Talks to Union County
Farmers on Boll Weevil Problem.
Mr. Jeter talked very intercstinglj
f his travel and study in the weevilnfested
territory of Georgia and othei
tates. His audience was struck witt
he enourmous damage which had beer

'hey accomplished this by nieamf^of

According to Mr. Jeter, the firs!
hing which local farmers must learn

otton acreage to a saf?f acreage. Ar
icreagc to which he can give mor<

?very man to grow a sufficiency o
food and fed to meet his farm require
rr.ents and prow his cotton and otho
cash crops as clean surpluses, thcs

Beat the Weevil to It.
Fertile soil is essential to the siu
cessful production of cotton undi
v/eevil conditions. Select your be>
lands which are well drained an
which warm up quickly in the sprin
for the growing of your cotton ore
this year.
Your soil should be prepared he
ter than ever before. Get it prepavt
early and bed on your fertilizer nh< \
three weeks before plunting time.
Use fertilizer liberally but judt
iously. Phosphorus makes fruit ai
hastens maturity. Nitrogen gives oa
ly start and hastens blooming. P
tassium keeps plant in healthy com
tion.
An application of 400 pounds
10-3-2 with 50 pounds of nitrate
soda per acre is desirable. If yi
use any fertilizer as a side drossii
apply it just as soon after choppii

SUICIDES FOLLOW

A
St New York, March 5.?Reaction fo
il- lowing the war was blamed tonight t
ir, the Savc-a-Life league for the lar*
t- number of suicides in 1921, 20.000 ?
af which were estimated to iiave take
b- place in this country. The number <
cases brought to the league's attei
>f tion was 12,144, cf which 3,140 wei
re males and 3,731 females.
,y "This waste of life, the result (
kJ recent disturbed economic conditior
>t and the aftermath of war," says a r<
port by Harry M. Warren, presider
of the league, 'has caused eommercii
f. failures, loss of employment and niuc
to real suffering. The growing eomploj
,d ity of our modern life, the feverish ur
,r> rest, crimes, divorces, questionabl
n dress, unhappy home relations, th

other things have caused derange
jj nerves, depression and less self-cor
e woi. vv 11 n improved business, whic
>- i-s sure In come, the suicide rate wi
e be reduced and prosperity and happi
(f ness will return."
v One of the striking features of th
(r report is the increase in the numbe
i* of suicides of children which was 17
. hi 1919; 707 in 1920 and 858 in 1921
g There also were 009 war veteran
5i among the suicides last year.
All classes of society were includci
|j in the list of those who took thei
. own lives. There were ten editors, 4
d students, 51 school teachers, 21 clcr
g gymcn, 39 brokers, 57 judges and law
j yers, 80 physicians, seven mayors, 8
u heads of large corporations, 70 mil
\ lionuircH, 30 wealthy women and 9
* bankers, including 37 bank presidents
The oldest suicide was 100 years am
? the youngest five years.
f All sorts of reasons are given b;
^ the victims. One man hanged himsel
| because his wife was "too good" fo
him; another because his wife wa
p spending all his money; another be
^ cause he could not stand the noise of i
K relghbor's piano and another because
? bis wife refused to kiss him.
t One spinster took poison, leaving i
^ note that "no man in the world is goo<
oWs, and another killed himself IjflS
"the good of the I. W. W." M
In New York city there were 840
suicides last year, an increase of -103
over 1920.
Ireland has fewer suicides than any
other country on earth, Mr. Warren
declared in his comment on work
. onditions. Germany leads the world
especially in child suicide, Japan haf
many thousands of suicides annually
and China is said to have a half million
every year.

conty was open to him, and he often
. made the rounds of the county, having
been for several years field represenp
tative of The Times. He has written
many letters to The Times, and was
en
s known and loved by many.
