*ORIGINATOR OR WOLAsSPi - 189%JQ TALE (Aditorial in Augusta 'Chronicle.) Mr. Dozier 1-ill; of Gough, Ga. originator of the molasses plan of boll WeeVil poisoning, came to the Chron. lole yesterday and discussed with .th( 'editor details concerning the method Which latige. niumbers of farmers nou say Is .giving the most; excellent re sults.. According to Mr. Hill the boll weevil -problem, insofar as it affectt his immediate section, has gone o long way toward solution. In fet, he feels that he has an excellent citanct to make a good crop 'nd that his cro: will not be ruined by -the -boll ,weevil He .feels that conditions othe'r thar the boll weevil must Interfere tc make the crop a failure. Just here let The 'Chronicle makc -.Itself clear once more on this mattet of the .boll weevil. We have 'urge( the farmer to -use every remdy sug. gested and decide upon that whicl: is the best. We have urged that mo lasses, and calcium arsenate be tried that dusting be tried and every othei remedy tried. Despite the fact thal the government experts h1ave contend -ed that the molasses-calcium arsonatt plan was of no avail we have urge( that it be faithfully tried because th< 'government sometimes goes wrong. We have now received evidenct from so many different sections an from so many dilerent farmers thal it appears the molasses plan has dem onstrated its success. We hope thal It will continue throughout the entir< cotton season the success that tde ex. perimnnts thus far have proven it t( be. Hupmobile The Car Everlasting Ellis Motor Co.

I In Sunday's Chrosicle we stated that there were some things about the molasses method of poisoning which we'did not know, but which -we would like to learn so as to pass the tip along to the farmers. This brought Mr.. Hill to The Chronicle office to explain certain points which he, as the originator of the plan, 'could ex. plain .better than any one else. "Last, year I made an average of 11 bales Iper plow on 165 plows," said Mr. Hill, "though Burke county .was badly hit by the boll weevil. My mo lasses plan was arrived at only after a series of experiments with various remedies. I tried out .the molasses with other )olsons, 'but finding calci um arsenate was the .best of them all I went back to the molasses-calcium arsenate plan which I have used ever since and which is being used on hun dreds of farms In Burke county and throughout this sectio of the coun try. "Since the first news of my remedy was given through The Chronicle my mall has been growing heavier and heavier and P am now receiving hun dreds and hundreds of letters. I spend several hours cael. night an swering thrin. Of coutrse, I am glad to pass alon the liformation that I have for I am firmly convinced that thi iolasseQ. ren'edy ha$ Siaved this section of the South from disaster, because without a thoroughly success fill method of boll weevil poisonirng this year we could not hope to make much 'of a crop). "I am very glad to clear up any matters that you have suggested in Yotur editorial colbinns. In the -first place, fiow often to poisoi I would say, of course, to poison as often as necessary, though the question then arises, when will you know it is nec essary. You will know by the squares ralling. The government conteld that there should be no ipoisonilng un less there Is 15 per cent infestation. The average farmer will find it diff cult to tell whether there is 15 per cenot or 30 per cent. The first applli cation of the molasso should cover levery stalk in the ve-d with a small am'iioiit of molasses In the bud.

Nev are clean and inva squares. Whenever, you, see Sayeral squares beheath a stalk In A field *ihieh has been poisoned, do what I call "ring poisoning," that id. to say Place poison on all stalks within au imaginary circle -that are five feet distant from the stalk under whion you find the squares. This will obvi ate the necessity of- going over the entire .field to cover a few isolated squots where there may be a iweevil operating. The "ring poisoning" will get the weevil operating in that par ticular locality without fail. "Of course, you must ipick up the squares and .burn them. This should -be done all of the time and farmers who neglect to do this are in for a great deal of trouble when the weevils are hatched out. 'When the cotton is i) about -knee high and there is a large bush instead of a very small stalk, I have a plan of poisoning through a iguano horn. I take a regn lation horn and put a wooden stopper in the end of It and through the wooden stopper I drill a small hole about half the size of a lead pencil. I pour the guano horn full of io lasses, with the calcium- arsenate so lution, and it pours out on the cot ton in a small stream. Sometimes the molasses doesnt flow as it should, so I have a stick ,with a mop on the end of it which fits snugly in the horn like a staff, or plunger, fits into a ipop gun. This forces the molasses to pour out when there is any tendency to clog in the horn. The advantage of this method is that there is a little stream of molasses going on both sides of the cotton and across the to) of the stalk or the bu(]. A man can go down the row with this guano horn almost ats fast as distribultiig guano. I know it is diflicult to explain this guano horn method so I am going to leave it with yot and any farmers who wish to see it can comle to The Chronicle office. . "I have made all sorts of tests on this boll weevil poisoing. For in stance, last year in a tlele I plowed up ill except the each t wentieth row in a field of Cotton. I waited then for two or three days until the leavex were dead and I then applied molas es and calchin arsenate to the re maininig rows. All of the weevils had left, tle cottoll whielh was iplowed('l up an11d concentrated ol the remaining rows. I placed lpaper u nIder. the stalks on each twen tieth row and the boll i.v(evils file next day were dead in su1ch0 q luantlitles as to remind you of' fliles onl by paper.
