MOLASSES WITH ARSENATE MIXT. During the past few days man/ farmers in this section have made tests with various mixtures of caipi urn arsenate and molasses, and in every instance with which I am familiar, they are delighted with the results. On our own plantations we have experimented with severa' mixtures, and are now using- a mixture U1 Ulic-ilcll I JUUiiv.'!! ? mill ... which is thoroughly mixed one pom: ! of calcium arsenate, and added to one-half gallon of black molasses. Wi have found a convenient way to apply is to use a quart bottle which is filled three-fourths full of the mixture to the bale of the cotton by reversing the bottle. Cut a trench out of one side of the cork so that by the shaking or plunging motion two or three drops are applied to the bud of the plant. This method requires less of the mixture per acre and keeps it thoroughly agitated all the time. We find tlvit none of the mixture should be carried over nighty as it is hard to mix the next morning No more should be mixed than can be used during the day and it should be thoroughly stirred before pouring into the bottles (or buckets if the mop is used). Mr. Randolph Gillespie applied the molasses mixture to three different fields on the 12th, 13th and 14th. This morning (16th) he spent more than an hour in these fields searching for weevils. He found no live weevils and no recently punctured squares. There were many weevils in the fields before the poison was applied. Mr. J. L. Jordan was picking about fifty weevils per acre from his fields before poisoning. He poisoned on the 8th and 9th and on the 12th and 23th. He sent hands into the fields a- ...aovila nnH the hands could lO JIltR no U..V. find no weevils. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Middleton went into the felds themselves and looked for some time and could find none. On Monday the 12th instant, we poisoned the field near the Pedigreed Seed Company's gin and warehouses in which numerous weevils had been observed. On Wednes day we sent about twenty hands into this field, offering: them two cents each for live weevils. A few quit pretty promptly on not finding any weevils. About fifteen, however, kept looking for some time, but none found a weevil after going over about seven acres. Mr. Sharpe, who was in charge of the gang, raised the price to five cents per weevil, but still failed to find any. Later the price was advanced to ten cents per weevil, and not a single hand found a weevil after searching for two hours. Mr. George J. Wilds, plant breed-! * er of the Pedigreed\Seed Company, carried out the following experiments during the past week. Test No. 1. At 1 p. m., on the 10th instant, nine hills of cotton were treated with the molasses mixture. There are two plants in each hill, and only one of the plants in each hill was treated. Twenty-one weevils were placed on these nine hills, Tibout one-half being placed on the * 1 i.u ~ poisoner! plants and tne vest on mc unpoisoned plants. At 6 p. m., the nine hills were examined with the result that six living and six dead weevils were found on the treated plants. At 2 p. m., on the 12th the same plants were examined and two live and eight dead weevils were found. At 9 a. m., on the 14th. the plants were again examined, and no live weevils and ten dead ones were found. As weevils move about considerably at this season it is assumed that all that remained on the treated bills were destroyed within the test period. The mixture used in this test was one-half gallon water, one gallon molasses and two pounds calcium arsenate. Test No. 2. At 1 p. m., on the 10th instant, ten hills were treated with the following mixture: Eight gallons of water, three gallons molasses and ten pounds calcium arsenate. Anc1 on the ten hills twenty weevils were placed. At (5 p. m., on the same day four living and five dead weevil: were found. At 9 a. ni.. on the 14th one live weevil and eight dead one.' were found. Mixture used above if very light, and dries up quickly. Test No. 3. Same mixture was used on tes No. 3, under about the same condi tinns, and 7.r> per cent of the wee vils succumbed. Test No. 4. In test No. 4 a mixture of fiv< gallons of molasses, five gallons o water and seven and one-half pound of calcium arsenate was used on fiv< hilR Twenty weevils were placed 01 the five hills. At 8 a. m., on the 18th no living and four dead were found On the 14th, a shower having fallei during the night of the 13th, anothe search for weevils was made am three additional dead and no liv ones were found. The results of these experiment seem to show that where a liqui cor.taininc at least half molasses an< at least three-fourths of a pound o calcium arsenate per gallon is usee: 100 per cent mortality occurs withii four days. The fact that ?a good many of th weevils placed on the plants were un accounted for does not modify th the value of the experiment as on experimenters observed some weevil to fly away immediately on bein placed on a plant. The cotton surrounding these e> periments had not been treated wit poison of any kind. I have had two letters from Mi G. M. Morris, of Vance. Oranorebur County, S. C.. who last year applie on or about Tune 10 a mixture c one and one-half pounds calcium ai se?\nte awl one oua** of hot watc mixed with one gallon of molassei A m* * J I The hotel ? Aficnrintinn is t annual meeting ! Myrtle Beach He stirred the water and arsenate for thirty minutes before mixing with the molasses and applied with a mop. He says one man or \>oy can apply to four acres per day. He gathered 900 pounds of seed cotton per acre and only made 200 to 400 pound# per acre , on the balance of the fawn. He doe:-, not consider this test positively conclusive, owing to the fact that he had no untreated cotton in the field with treated, cotton. He is confident that the poison was responsible forhis comparative success, in a section which was almost wiped out by the weevils last year. The cost of the mixture, Mr. Norris says, was twenty to twenty-five cents per acre. All the farmers who have reported on the use of the mixture in this section agree that the cost is be tween fifteen and twenty-five cents for materals. Mr. Norris reports that most of the farmers in his section are using the molasses-calcium arsenate mixture this year, and so far as he has heard they are pleased with the results. I cannot he certain that by the use of calcium arsenate-molasses treatment any farmer will make a crop of cotton and I can only be sure that under the wearier conditions we have had here since May 30 that the vast majority of the weevils have been killed and that few are left in the treated field and few punctured squares are appearing. mi j. _ c ii i:. 4.;. ine cost ui uie application is >?.' slight and the results appear so manifest that I feel that every farmer can ill afford not to invest twentycents per acre application for this treatment, and apply it several times at intervals of a week or ten days. There is not the slightest question that millions of weevils have already been killed by this treatment during the past ten days, and it stands to reason that this has done some good. David R. Coker.

Chambers,, wife of the novelist, was about to step from her Uath 011 the third floor of the Chambers residence, 43 East 83d street in New York city one day last week she was startled. She heard hurried, unfamiliar footsteps. Someone was running up the stairs fast. "Who is it? What's the matter?*' Mrs. Chambers exclaimed as she left the tul) and moved through the bathroom door to her bedchamber. There was no reply, but in a moment the door of the bedroom was flung open. A gild looking man, a stranger to the nude mistress of the house, confronted her. "Hah! Mrs. Chambers, I believe," he exclaimed. He thrust his hand into his pocket. Mrs. Chambers shrank away, believing he meant to draw some weapon. The intruder pulled out a long paper. Mrs. Chambers stepped hack toward the bed and clutched its topmost covering to itiavv about her. Flung Paper at Her. A maid was shrieking down below. Mrs. Chambers feared that she faced a madman. Her visitor took a step toward her, raised his hand with the paper in it and flung h hard ,-it the dazed woman. Ignorant of what was his missile, Mrs. Chambers sought to escape it, but it struck her fair on the throat. She did not know if she had been wounded or not and still stood as the man hesitated for a moment. "There you are, Madams,'' lie said. Then he turned swiftly and ran downstairs, making his escape as a man servant ran out to intercept him, but in vain. Mrs. Chambers dropped on the bed, half faint from her experience. Then, curious, she gingerly leaned over and picked up the paper which had struck her. It was a summons. .She drew a long breath and indignation took the place of alarm and anxiety. Putting on a wrap she summoned the maid who had been screaming. The girl said the stranger had called and insisted on seeing Mrs. Chambers on important business. When he was told Mrs. Chambers could not i>e seen at that time by persons unknown to her household, he pushed the maid aside, the latter said, and ran up the stairway. Investigation disclosed that the stranger was not the only thing that suddenly left the house. On a table near the door of the library, past which he had made his way to and from Mrs. Chamber's room, there was a pearl necklace, valued at $2,675. Pearls Missing.

Barker in Columbia, stating the situation in regard to the regular army, which has been reduced at different tidies .'itely. and is now facing still another reduction. The memorandum is important and is here published in full: As you know, the regular army has been reduced from time to time since the reorganization of July 1, 1920. At the present time the regular army faces another reduction. If the United States is to be adequately protected a force of some kind must be provided whereby the members may receive some training in peace time, as competent men for heavy artillery work are not born or made in a few weeks' time, but come from long j>eriods of careful training. As provided by law there is a national guard, a regular army and an organized reserve. The organized reserve is the w.ar force of the United States and contains the officers, reserve corps and the enlisted reserve corps. It is on this component part of the army that the chief dependence for the defense of the nation is placed. South Carolina, among other units, will require ten companies of coast artillery for the organized reserve. These companies have headquarters as follows: Aiken, Columbia,. Hampton, Bamberg, Orangeburg, Manning; Kingstreo, Florence, Marion and Conway. The officers for these companies are drawn from all parts of the state. The officers are assigned to their company and the company is assigned to /ju battery in the defenses of Charleston. In case of war these troops would constitute a first line defense. The following classes of men are acceptable as officers: Former officers of the army of any grade or branch, provided they have the qualifications for an artillery officer. Men who had six months' service or more during the World War and Ivive the equivalent of a high school education, especially if the man reached the higher non-commissioned grades. Appointments are made for a period of five years. Appointments in the case of former officers is made on examination ot' records only. Appointments in al! other classes are made through per sonal examination by a board o** officers and l>y examination of military record. Original appointments are made in the grade of second lieutenant only. Qualified persons are requested to write this office for further information and application blanks. Promotion in the reserve is fairly rapid and constant. Former service men, men with R.

While in camp all members of the reserve receive the pay of members of the regular army. The reserve can be called for war service only when authorized by Congress.
