there was much favorable comment up

Turpentine Kills the Pests
But Hurts the Cotton.
Plant Greatly.
BY Associated Press.

Baton Rouge, La, July 30.-From
the state crop pest commission, ex-
perimenting with turpentine as pos
sible eradicator of the boil weevil,
it was learned today that results so
far indicate thai it's use is dangerous
Experiments were taken up because
the planters about Coushatta, La.
gave wide publicity to the claim that
a turpentine and water soaked cloth
drawn over the ground had practically
driven all weevils from their cotton
without hurting the plant. The odor
was supposed to drive out the weeviI.
The commission found that pure tur-
pentine on the plants burned them
crisp in about twenty-fOnr hours, and
that its odor disappeared in forty
eight hours. Mixtures of turpentine
and water We're tested in about the
proportions used in Coushatta Ii
was found that the turpentine and
water would not mix. the turpentine
gathering in drops, which burned the
plants wherever in contact. The OdOr
from these mixtures lasted about
forty hours.

Accompanied by scattered showers,
which, according to all traditions
mean rain for the next forty days,
dog days have put in their appearance
and have sent additional twings into
rheumatic Joints and put the oracles
to predicting that whooping cough
and the measles will be prevalent
during the next few weeks.
Sirius, the brightest of all stars,
has this matter of dog days at his
door. According to all astronomers,
dog days begin when Sirius and the
sun rise and set simultaneously
Sunday the two put in appearance
at the same time, and disappeared to

Although no rain fell in Pensacola
on Sunday, showers were recorded in
many of the neighboring towns and
were quite general throughout this
section, and, If traditions hold true,
rain will fall daily throughout the
next forty days.

aimed a blow at this belief that rivals
the intensity of. the whack given the
