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

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.

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.

How One Man Served Papers
in New York
City
When Mrs. Robert W. 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.

REDUCTION IN
REGULAR ARMY
The Herald has received a memorandum
from Captain Maurice E. 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.
