quick placement on defense jobs all
training centers are being filled to
capacity now since there is a great
need for defense workers in the shop-
yards and airplane plants. The gar
ment making industry is also calling

orders, according to Mrs. Mamie S.

STUCK ON MOLASSES
Calhoun Times.
Mr. W. W. Wannamaker, who takes
little on hearsay, has made tests that
have assured him’ beyond the shadow
of a 'doubt that the treatment of
young cotton with a mixture of mo
lasses, water and calcium arsenate
is the most feasable method of com
batting the boll weevil. Mr. Wanna
maker made three wire cages and
placed them over cotton stalks that
had not been treated. A second cage
he put over a stalk that had been
treated with the standard 1-1-1 mix
ture of molasses, water, and arsen
ate. The third cage be put over a
stalk that had been treated with a
mixture of water and calcium arsen
ate. He put six weevils in each
cage.
A piece of white paper was plae
ed under the stalks, and on one
sheet a few drops of the molasses
mixture fell, and it was observed
that the weevils fed on these drops
After 18 hours five weevils in the
molasses treated cage were dead and
the sixth was a sick bug, while in
the water and arsenate treated cage
four weevils were dead and two
were very much alive, and in the
check cage all the weevils were
alive even after 48 hours, by which
time all the other weevils were dead.
Tlie tests were repeated a few
days later, with essentially the
same results.
Mr. Wannamaker states, that in
view of the danger of rain at all
times, it is easy to see that the faster
system of killing the weevils, that of
mopping the cotton with the molos-
ses mix, is the best method to use_.

SUPPLY OF COTfON BAGS AS
SURED BY GOVERNMENT ORDER
Rumors of Shortage Branded False
By CottowlCouncil
Memphis, Tenn.f-There will be
ample supplies of *>tton bags avail
able this year for fifae* packaging of
agricultural and f#od products, ac
cording to a statenagit by Wm. Rhea
Blake, executive vwj president of
the National Cptton'Council.
Mr. Blake bi^in^frt' ak false the
rumors of shortages in cotton fab
rics for bag purposes and said that
War Production Board orders issued
weeks ago give definite assurance of
their availability.
“The loose talk that has led bag
users to conclude that they cannot
hope to obtain cotton bags and must
therefore use some other type lesc
suitable for their purpose is entirely
without foundation,” Mr. Blake said.
“The facts are that the government,
recognizing the need for bag fabrics,
some time ago took steps to insure
a sufficient supply of cotton bag
goods. This supply will be adequate
to meet even the increased demand.”
The unjustified reports had their
origin in unfortunate statements
made by persons who confused bur
lap supplies with cotton, Mr. Blake
explained. The curtailment of bur
lap supplies shortly after the out
break of war made it evident that
substitutes for burlap bags had to be
found. The logical substitute was a
cotton bag of adequate strength, ad
aptability, and high-salvage value.
In outlining steps taken by the
government to insure an edequate
supply of textile bags, the Council
officially pointed out that WPB order
M-107., issued May 10, assigned a
priority rating of A-2 to the manu
facture of certain bag fabrics. Lat
er WPB order L-99, issued April 20,
directed cotton mills making less
essential fabrics to convert a sub
stantial percentage of thier looms
to osnaburgs and bag sheetings. Es
timates show how that through this
order approximately double the quan
tity of cotton goods normally used
for bag purposes will now be avail
able.
Under order L-99, from 20 to 100
per cent of the textile industry’s
weaving looms capable of being con
verting to the manufacture of cotton
bag materials were shifted to them
from less essential civilian fabrics.
Re—Use Value Cited
“In selecting bags for agricultural
and food uses, the purchaser should
be mindful of the important fact that
cotton textile bags are doubly service
able because of their re-use value,”
Mr. Blake said. “Practically all cotton
bags can be re-used from one to ten
times, thus making a million contain
ers. This means an enormous con
servation of materials, cost and man
hour production.
“Cotton bags are readily available.
They will carry safely and economic-
cally the greater part of our agri
cultural and food products througnout
the war period.”

SAVING SEED IS VITAL IN
PRODUCTION
“Many a farmer cheats himself
on one of the few factors in crop
production that he can control—the
seed he sows,” says County Agent
P. B. Ezell.
“He plows and harrows, litnes
and fertilizes, and then when he is
ready to plant, he rushes the good
wife to town to get whatever seed
is available. It’s too late to do any
thing but take what’s there. Since
that is the case, germination, variety
adaptability, and purty cannot be
considered. It’s just seed.”
Rebinding that the weather may
be good or bad for crop production
this season, the county agent de
clares that the seed used may make
a fair crop under good seasonal
conditions or may fail under poor or
unfavorable conditions, and adds:
“Good seed will do better under
either of the conditions. To be good
seed must have vitality and vigor
and the capacity to produce. Such
seed will make better use *f the
fertilizer, the lime, and the seedbed
prparation that has been done prior
to sowing the seed.
“Winter legume and small grain-
seed can be saved for seeding " this
fall. Objectionable weeds should be,
taken out of the part of ■thevfiehf (ti>!
be saved for seed. These j^rdas from
which seed are to be saved. shqultt
