Shun Liquid Sprays for Poisoning Boll Weevil. A warning against liquid sprayer' attachments to cotton poisoning machinery is issued by B. R. Coad, director of the boll weevil laboratory of the United States Department of Agricu .ure. Calcium ai senate applied as a dust, he points out, is the only certain means yet found for controlling the boll weevil and any effort at control by means of liquid sprays is useless. Sprayer attachments are, therefore, not only unnecessary but are an added burden. They increase the cost of the machinery and make it more complicated and difficult to operate. The liquid spray, even if it were as effective as dust method would be decidedly more expensive. It would necessitate the use of water carts, to feed the machines, would demand an ample and ? ifki/tk io ?lAt constant water muvu ?o available on most farms, and in various vays would increase the cost of poisoiiir.g operations. Orchardists and others who have to conduct poisoning operations regularly are constantly searching for poisons that can be dusted instead of sprayed. Cotton growers are very fortunate in that the one really effective method of controlling the boll weevil is the dust method and they should not waste time and money, Mr. Cpad points out, in experimenting with the expensive spray methods that farmers in other lines are so constantly trying to get away from. In addition to the foregoing spraying equipment we also find on the market many curious devices for applying some liquid preparation, usually containing calcium arsenate, for the control of the boll weevil. Some of these are to be attached to plows, others to cultivators, while still others run independently. They are usually provided with some exceedingly simple form of tank with a gravity flow of liquid, which either drips on the plants or is wiped on them by some form of brushes or rags. Many such implements are ab~ 1 -- ? solutely comical, ana me uiuy s?*u feature is the fact that some farmers are foolish enough to purchase them. The literature advertising these implements promises wonderful results and the directions given often call for only a small fraction of a pound of poison per acre, which is distributed over the plants in a very irregular manner. To expect bool weevil con. trol from such methods is absolutely absurd. The department specialists have been attempting boll weevil control with liquid applications for many years. In these tests they use the finest available high pressure spraying machinery, distributing the liquid poison over the plants in a mist form, thus reaching absolutely every part of the plant. Furthermore, these applications are usually made at the rate of 100 gallons of solution per acre. In spite of this these spray applications do not control the boll weevil, and how can anyone expect to secure benefit from the absurd recommendations issued with some of the Waehines now offered the farmers? Farmers who desire more detailed information on this subject may secure it free of charges by writing the Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, Louisiana. o GOING IT TOO HARD? ? Overwork, worry, overeating and lack of exercise and sleep are responsible for much kidney trouble. If your back aches and the kidneys seem weak, rest up and use Doan's Kidney Pills. B. E. Clarkson, comer Brooks and Jail streets, Kingstree, says: "Several months ago my back caused no end of trouble. It was next to impossible for me to keep in an upright position and I was compelled to walk stooped over. Mornings my back was so sore and stiff it was some time before 1 could get around. At times a cutting pain extended from my hips down my limbs to my heels and it made it difficult for me to walk. I tried plasters and other preparations without results but it wasn't until I used Dean's Kidney Pills bought at Scott's Drug Store that I found relief. A box of Doan's helped me greatly and my back has been felling better than it has for months." 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.?Adv.
