DO rr RIGHT OR NOT AT ALL Some Rules for Poisoning the Cotton Boll Weevil. Many valuable lessons.have been gained from the recent expansion of commercial weevil poisoning. It has again been shown that the boll weevil can be poisoned with profit if conditions are favorable and if proper methods are used, but it has been emphasized anew that unfavorable conditions and improper methods can lead only to failure. A survey of the ? . poisoning by farmers in 1920 shows that an unfortunately large proportion were not properly informed as to the conditions under which they should poison and the methods they should pursue. As e. result there were many unnecessary failures. If better results are to be secured in the future, therefore, the operation must be more thoroughly understood. The present circular is prepared to give, in as brief and concise a form as possible, the information needed by a farmer in deciding, first, whether it will pay him to poison and, second, the methods he should follow. Weevil poisoning is fully as important an operation as cultivation and deserves as much serious thought and attention. Unless you are willing to undertake it in this manner, you should not attempt to poison. Study these instructions carefully and follpw them as closely as your conditions will permit Where will It Pay You to Poison? It will pay you to poison? If the weevils are 'really injuring , your ciop seriously, and If your land is sufficiently fertile to yield at least one-half bale per acre with weevil injury eliminated, and If your farming organization is such that you feel assured that the poison applications will be made at the right time and in the right manner, and If you are willing to spend the full 1 j _ amount necessary to provide an adequate supply of dusting machinery and poison. The general gains from weevil poisoning under average, fairly favorable conditions seem to be from 20C to 400 pounds of seed cotton pei acre, but owing to variations in degree of weevil injury it is not safe to expect more than the lower figure Consequently, you should not poison if the cost of the calcium arsenate, the cost of labor to apply it and the depreciation on the dusting machine will total more per acre thar the current value of 100 pounds ol seed cotton. Hand guns should be figured a* depreciating 100 per cent in a seasor and the larger machines about 2E per cent What Dusting Machine Should You Use? Make your acreage allotment according to the following schedule, and bay a surplus rather than shortage ox mac nines, as uus vnu save you money. Hand Guqs. Do not allot over 8 acres to one hand gunDo not attempt over 25 acres ir one organization with hand guns. Do not supply individual tenant: Ewith hand guns and expect each tc care for his crop successfully independent of the others. Use hand guns only when no othei machine is suitable. Onc-mule Machine. This term is used to describe th< new type of one-wheel, one-mule machine which is just being placed or the market. It sella at a mediumprice and is suitable for small fanners This machine will cover from If to 20 acres a night of operation. Ii should not be allotted more than 6( acres for the season. This machine has only two nozzle: but will usually cover three rows al a trip. t Cart Machine. This term is used to describe th< two-wheel, two-mule machine whicl straddle3 a row of cotton. It is th< type most suitable for large farmers TTiis machine will cover from 25 t( 30 acres in a night of operation. One of these machines should no1 be allotted to not more than 100 acre: of infeited cotton for the season. This machine has three nozzles but wili usually cover four rows ai a trip. How to Poison. Use cnly pure calcium arsenate ii * the form of a dry oowder. Apply this only in the dust form Purchase this to conform to th< following specifications: Not less than 40 per cent tota arsenic pentoxid. Not more than 0.7.'> per cent watersoluble arsenic pentoxid. Density not less than 80 or mort than 100 cubic inchej per pound. Have your county agent send ? sample of your calcium arsenate tc the Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, La. fonfree analysis to make sure thai It is satisfactory. Use only dusting machinery especially constructed for cotton dusting. Poison only when the. air is calm R\: ' ; \ L . -i , and the plants are moist. This practically means making only night api plications. Use about 5 to 7 pounds of calcium arsenate per acre for each application. Start poisoning when the weevils have punctured from 10 to 15 per i cent of the squares. Keep your cotton tnoroughly dusted until the weevils are under control.' This usually means about three ap-! i plications at the rate of one every1 s four days. i Then stop poisoning until the wee-1 i vils again become abundant. ? If the weevils become abundant j early enough to injure your young i bolls, make one or two more applica- j tions late in the season. If you have a heavy rain withinj ! 2; hours after ruling, repeat this: ' application immediately. Do not expect to eradicate the wee- i i vils. Poisoning merely controls them , sufficiently to permit a full crop of i cotton and you can always find weei vils in the successfully poisoned field. I Keep your cotton acreage low and do everything possible to increase your yield per acre, as it costs just as much to poison one-quarter bale J per acre cotton as bale per acre cotton, j Always leave an occasional portion \ ; of a cut unpoisoned for comparison 1 with the adjoining poisoned tract. | , This will show how much you have . increased your yield by poisoning, j I If you are considering poisoning, write the Delta Laboratory at Tallulah, La., for more detailed informa-1 tion; also ask the advice of your county agent. What Is a Yankee? > Writing about the present New Jer1 sey Legislature a correspondent of the Philadelphia Public Ledger says 1 that "the new Republican majority ' leader is a Yankee." In specification : he adds: "He was born in Boston." All persons born *1 Boston, then,, are Yankees. Presumably the corre; spondent did not intend to restrict ' the Yankee habitat to the modern Athens. Probably in his view, largely shared, all New Englanders are Yan' kees. This is accurate enough, bu4insufficient. * Among the Pennsylvinia Dutch not only all New Englanders but all the people of New York and New Jersey ! are Yankees. In Antral and south eastern Ohio all those who dwell in J ' the northeastern part of the state ' are called Yankees. Across the Ohio ' river, in Kentucky, all Ohioans are > Yankees. South of Mason and Dix1 on's line all the inhabitants of the Northern States are Yankees. To the world at large all the people of ' the United States are Yankees. 1 But the elusiveness of the Yankee * does not stop even there. Going back to its etymological antecedents, the 1 term Yankee means Englishman. The Indian allies of the French in the wars between England and France ' for possession of aboct all of what ! is now the United States save whpt 1 the Spanish had staked out were | taught that the name of the enemy, was "Anglasis." The noble led man ! tried his best to say it and emitted sounds which reduced to type would ' be something like"Yankgay." So in this vernacular, even when we were 5 under the English flag, we were all J ' "Yankgays"; not only all Americans ' bora but all who were of the British 1 armies as well. An etymologist of established re-; pute, Heckwelder, derives "Yankee" from attempts of the Indians to say ! "English," attempts which resulted " in some such word as "Yanghees" 1 or "Yanghesh." So, in the venerable 1 and rather overworked last dialysis, ; a Yankee becomes simply- an English} man. Hence the supercilious Briton t when he calls us Yankees in a dis* paraging way is only calling himself, names. But thereby he renounces all 5 claim and title to the descriptive term, t This is as it should be. The nationalistic designation .'s ours, exclusively ours. Of course the Republi* can leader in the New Jersey Legisi lature is a Yankee. So is the corre spondent of the Public* Ledger. So * are we all of us. As Yankees we have j > managed to get along pretty well in j the world. We are quite satisfied to; t be Yankees and quite satisfied with j 5 this our Yankeeland.?New York Herald.
