Poison Without Delay The Early Boll Weevil CLEMSON COLLEGE, June 3.— With boll weevil emergence in the eastern and central parts of the state somewhat greater than for the same period last year and with the advanced stage of cotton growth, pre-square poisoning im mediately is urged by Alfred Lut- ken, extension entomologist, who suggests also that the first genera tion of weevils can be greatly re duced if the fallen squares are picked up and burned. The pre-square poison that has proved so satisfactory and popular, Is made up by mixing one pound of calcium arsenate with one gallon of water and adding-this slowly and with vigorous stirring to one gallon pf cheap molasses. This mixture may be applied with a burlap mop, dragging it across the tops of the young plants and using one to two gallons per acre. Mr. Lutken sug gests the first application when squares are forming, with two ad ditional applications at intervals of five to seven days. In all cases the application will need to be repeated If a heavy rain falls within 24 hours after poisoning. Publications giving details re garding boll weevil control may be had from county farm agents or from the Division of Publications at Clemson College.

Diana* Jesus on th» Cross Lesson for June 11th Mark 15:1-47. Golden Text: Romans 5:8. We have arrived at a supreme moment in the dramatic story of Jesus. He is now on the Cross, soon to die after unspeakable anguish. It is the blackest day in history, the day of mankind’s most atrocious crime. But such is the paradox of the crucifixion that we call the day of the Mas ter’s death not Bad Friday but Good Friday, and think of Him, in His agony, not as a miserable failure, but as a King on His Throne. We are aware of the magnetism of the Cross, so well expressed in that great text in the fourth gospel, “And if I am lifted up from the earth will draw all men to me.” The novelist Thackeray felt its attraction, for we are told that one day, as he was walking in Edinburgh, he saw the wooden crane of a quarry sharply etched against the sky. He stopped, gazed earnestly, and quietly said, “Calvary.” Note, too, the spiritual power centered in the Cross, the power of a victorious Redeemer whom, as Paul says, “God hath highly exalted.” The shame of the Cross is a badge of glory. For wrong does not win. No, indeed. Right wins, for God's Spirit is there, and that Spirit is in domitable. Again, the Cross is the Way of Life. The early Christ ians eagerly kept the Cross in sight, and were known as the companions of the Way. We Christians of today are also comrades of the Way. Now what do we mean by the Way of the Cross Two things. First, we mean the abandonment of those forces of evil responsible for the execution of Jesus, and all sim ilar crimes. Second, we mean a dedicated life of complete sacrifice and devotion. And both of the&e are hound up with the crucifixion. How are we to get rid of sin? By the saving power of the Cross. “Christ died for our sins,” as Paul assures us. And how are we to launch ourselves into the selfless ministry of the Christian adventure? We are to do so by following the path of the Via' Dolorosa even unto Calvary. \
