POISONING THE BOLL WEEVIL Where the cotton boll weevil is seriously injuring the crop, it will pay to poison it if the land is suf ficiently fertile to yield at least one-third of a bale per acre, bar ring injury by the weevil, says the United States Department of Ag riculture. O.ne . “presquare” poisoning should be made If the overwinter ed weevils are unusually abundant. Either calcium arsenate dust or a mixture of calcium arsenate and molasses may be used, and the ap plication made just as squares be gin to form. Then apply three or more regular dust applications of calcium arsenate at four or five day r intervals, beginning when an average of about one-tenth of the squares show weevil punctures. Dusting should be continued as needed to keep the infestation low until a full crop is set and matured beyqng the probability of further weeyil injury. If a heavy rain faR* within 24 hours after any ap plication, it should be repeated im mediately.

This fence should be strong enough to keep the sows out of the en closure and yet have openings sufficiently large for the pigs to pass in and out whenever they de sire. When the pigs are old en ough to be weaned, the feed for the sows may be cut down in order to cause the milk flow to cease. The grain for the pigs should be kept before them in the self-feeder and in a few days they will be weaned and the sows may be removed to a separate pasture. < m If a dependable supply of sour milk, skim milk, or buttermilk can be had and furnished to the young chicks to drink, the dried milk may be omitted from the mash mixture. If it is not omitted, the ration may supply too much protein which is an unnecessary expense. An ex cess of protein should be avoided because it constitutes a heavy tax on the digestive system. Milk js splendid to mix with the mash when wet-mash feeding is prefer red. “My Boy—Save Your Nickels and Pennies Now” — This is the advice of the wise man who has been “through the mill.” Mighty good advice, too, for parents to give their boys— then back it up by starting a SAYINGS ACCOUNT for the boy at this bank.

THE CANDIDATE Ecb Taylor, of Tennessee, who ought to have known what he was talking about, as he had served several terms as governor and con gressman and been twice defeated for the United States senate, thus ,oaid his respects to the candidate: “Every honest man who runs for office is a candidate for trouble, for the fruits of political victory turn to ashes on the lips. To me there is nothing in this world so pathetic as a candidate. He is like a mariner without a compass, drifting on the tempest tossed v/aves of uncertainty between the smiling < cliffs of hope and the growning crags of fear. He is a walking petition and a living pray er. He is a packhorse of public sentiment. He is the dromedary of politics, and even if he reaches the goal of his ambition he will soon feel the beak of the vulture in his heart and the fang of the serpent in his soul.”—Lincoln, Ga., Journal. txt Little Talk On Thrift BIG BUSINESS KNOWS VALUE OF THRIFT IN CHANGING WASTE TO PROFIT S.

J. Newberry Com- During the month of April spec ial campaigns for the elimination of waste will be conducted by many of the large industrial and utility corporations of the United States. The point which will occur to most of us when we learn of this campaign is that no concern is so large, so powerful or so prosperous that it does not need to be thrifty. Some of the points brought out in explanation of the campaign are stated as follows: “The subject of ‘Waste Elimina tion and Prevention’ is receiving each year more concentrated study by the industries and the utilities for it is realized that the wastes of today will, if prevented, go to the making of the profits of tomor row.!’ “Losses are more apt to occur in the common-place items often overlooked but the total of which is frequently in excess of those from large and more extensive ones.” “Competition, especially. from foreign made goods, is becoming steadily more keen and we want to continue to hold our ow r n by producing, as we have done in the past, apparatus embodying quality and good workmanship and with minimum waste.” Employees of the various plants w T ill be encouraged to make sug gestions to the company of meth ods o£ eliminating waste and cash awards will be given to workers who offer such suggestions. Ex hibits which include tools and ma terials daily used and broken, lost or spoiled will be shown in the plants. Placards will be put up around the factories reminding the workers that lights and gas fires should be turned down if too high or turned out if not in use. Attention also will be called to poorly oiled machines which in crease repair bills as well as to the careless throwing of materials in rubbish cans. It is pointed cut that in one plant alone it costs $10,000 a year simply to sort out | the scrap that has been carelessly deposited by workers. Thrift means very much more than merely saving money by the individual. Big business know: this. Our great corporations have learned that waste of the smallest item is to be avoided. It is indeed a great lesson in thrift that all of us can learn from the examples set by these gigantic corporations. tX* In cooking bread pudding, com custard, and other dishes contain ing a large proportion of egg and milk, set the dish iff a pan of sur- Blow the Whistle — tor ***•- * the MILLION a day Delicious and Refreshing TUNE IN ON STATION WSB or WBT 10:30 E.

Nature Thought of Everything __ Nature thought of everything when the human body was made. When the body is about to become ill, nature planned danger signals to warn us. Thus, if our children grind their .teeth when they sleep, or lack appetitej or suffer from abdominal pains, or itch about the nose and fingers, we should know that they may have .contracted worms. Then, if we are wise, we buy a bottle of White’s Cream Vermifuge and safely and surely expel the worms. Thus we avoid the danger of very serious trouble.
