County Agent Shelley asks McCormick county farmers, “when it is easy, inexpen sive. and effective to check the bandits’ onslaughts with sweeten ed poison, the well known 1-1-1 mixture?” Urging prompt action against the weevil, the county agent gives these simple instructions on when to poison, what to use, and how to apply it. When the first squares are seen on the cotton, it is time to begin poisoning—it is not necessary to begin earlier than this. Use the 1-1-1 sweetened poison mixture. On thousands of farms it has proved effective and satis factory if used in the right way and at the right time. The mix ture is one pound of calcium arse nate, one gallon of blackstrap molasses, one gallon of water. Mix the calcium arsenate and the water first, then add the molasses. Mix only what you plan to use in one day, and throw away any left over at the end of the day. The molasses will sour if kept longer and will cause a burning effect on the cotton plants. Apply the mixture with a mop made by tying burlap or cloth to a three-foot stick. Each time you dip the mop into the bucket of mixture stir it well. Otherwise the arsenate will settle and you will be applying only molasses and water. Hold the mop so as to ap ply poison to the under side of the leaves as much as possible. Some AAA Notes People who live on farms and in rural towns constitute 40 per cent of the entire population of the United States. * * * In 1938, farm production in the United States was 4 per cent above the 1924-29 level, while industrial production was 20 per cent below it. ★ * * Taking into account the decline in prices that United States farmers paid for commodities, they were able to buy with their 1938 income more than 90 per cent as much as they could with their 1929 income. * * * In 1939, the acreage of United States farm land planted to soil- depleting crops was about 23 mil lion acres less than the average for the preceding 10 years. Of these 23 million acres a consider able part was planted to soil building crops. * * * The number of farms served by electric light and power companies in the United States increased 98 per cent during the 1932-38 period —from about 710,000 to more than 1,400,000 farms.
