Is Sweetened Poison Profitable?
___
Clemson College. June 28.?The use
of sweetened poison for the boll wee- s<
il is nothing new, but is nearly a J
quarter of a century old, says Prof, li
A. F. Conradi, chief entomologist, in t<
regard to the current discussions as c
to poisons. As far back as 1898,
poisoned sweets were employed early c
in the season applied by means of a }
stick, a few drops on each cotton 1;
plant. The only difference between F
the concoctions of those clays and the I
formula reccomended at this tinle is b
in the particular materials used. Then c
the principal formula consisted of mo?,
iasses and paris green, or molasses c
and white arsenic. One formula which C
attracted particular attention, prob- b
ably because of its very complicated p
nature was made of molasses, paris t
srreen, white arsenic, and arsenic of b
lead. All of these poisons have arsen- e
ic as the active ingredient, and no o
one has ever been able to see why all I
this array of compounds. c
As the early application of sweet- t
ened poison killed a certain percent- tl
age of weevils, it appealed to many
farmers in each state when ever the o
boll weevil appeared. Each year as V
new territory has been invaded by the h
boll weevil and new groups of farmers v
have become panicky, they have been c;
in/Oino^ nihhlp at the bait en al- d
most any hook that is thx*own out to A
them, but so far as sweets are eon- w
cerned there is no evidence that boll tl
weevils have been attracted by them, b
So in the course of 24 years sweeten^
?d poison has not gained much recog- F
nition though the weevil has invaded tl
eleven states. In fact sweetened poi- F
son has seldom paid the expenses of s:
treatment and it has therefore been a
generally abandoned. b
Instead of any of the special poisons h
now advocated by some, the use of t<
calcium arsenate is stronly recommended,
says Prof. Conradi, although t]
calcium arsenate has no greater ar- n
senic content than paris green and c
white arsenic of the earlier day. Poisoning
in the heavily infested, high
yielding land will be of very great i<
help in producing a cotton crop pro- t<
vided the poisoning is done properly,' y
but regardless of the amount of poi- o
3oning one intends to do, it is urged *
that every farmer stand by his crop a
and give it better attention than ever
before. Poisoning can never be depended
upon to secure a cotton crop,
unless the cotton is on good land and
under a system of good farm manage- ^
?nent. js

>i the ceremony the Chief Jusice
briefly welcomed Mr. Wilson tc
he membership of the Bar.

f the ceremony was kept quiet. Mr.

before noon in an automobile and
alked the short distance from the
ar to the elevator, which carried him
irectly to the chambers of Justice
IcCoy. The ceremony and reception
*cre brief and Mr. Wilson returned
rie same way to his waiting automoile.
Court attendants said the former

of ar. attendant in entering
nd leaving bis motor car. During the
rief ceremonies. Mr. Wilson stood,

business m<;?. fell -.lead while
conversing :n the loo.nvay of the
Georgetown Grocery Company, of
which he was general manager While
his health had no* been of the best
for several years, he was. seemingly,
in the best of spirits a moment before
he was stricken. The doctors summoned
to his aid could do no good
for he was breathing his last when
they arrived. They state that death
| was clue to apoplexy and was instan
. taneous. He was about fifty-eight
I years of age. Mc. Smich leaves a
widow who was Miss Daggett, of this

L ??
East Nashville, Tenn.? The efflo.
iency of Thedford's Black-Draught, the
genuine, herb, liver medicine, is
vouched for by Mr. W. N. Parsons, a
I grocer of this city. "It is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and I
don't believe I could get along without
it I take it ror sour stomach, neaaache,
bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result of
a torpid liver.
"I have known and used it for years,
and can and do highly recommend it
to every one. I won't go to bed without
It iq the house. It will do all it
claims to do. I can't say enough for
it"
Many other men and women throughout
the country have found BlackDraught
just as Mr Parsons describes
?valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels of impurities.
Thedford's Black-Draught liver medidue
is the original and only genuine.j
