Miss Spooner's Success
Special to Farmer.)

Yonkers. N. Y.. Sept. "A capacity audience that packed the Warburton theatre witnessed the debut of Miss Cecil Spooner as a high priced star in the first presentation of Amelia Weed Holbrooks' new comedy 'HThe Little Terror here last night. The cast is a large one giving excellent support in this bright and interesting comedy. The plot which is developed along new and modern lines being located in New Mexico and New York. The clever ness of this versatile little actress is shown in the title role of an uncouth child reared in the mining camps ex- peri sncing little else but i'll treatment from all with whom she comes in con- tact. therefore developing the one idea of life and that the natural one of self preservation. Her efforts toward this end have won for her the name of the terror that causes many funny situa- tions and incidents in action of the comedy. From a scenic and comedy view Miss Holbrooks play. "The Little Terror" is superb.

YOUR CHRISTMAS.

The TRUE DEMOCRAT is com
ing out a few days ahead Of time
in order to wish you in advance a
Christmas which shall be a bless
ing to your soul. Whether it
shall be a merry one depends
upon your natural disposition or
upon circumstances, principally
the former, for it is upon the
brave and CHEEKY heart, that only
severe bereavement can cast a
shadow, while those of a melan-
choly temperament are gloomy
amid pleasures and palaces.
We wish for you, therefore,
the heart Of good cheer, which
makes the best of all circumstan-
ces and even lends to sadness a
CLEAN of. hope and joy.
We wish you a voice Of good
cheer. Then you will for these
few days at least, cease the
words of repining and foreboding
that have weakened the courage
of others as well as yourself.
We wish you the appetite Of
good cheer at this time when one
feasts upon his best. Without
appetite, any dish is savorless.
With it, the bread of fasting or
the crust of poverty is sweet.
With these wishes granted,
Yule-t time will be indeed a bless
ed rest between the toll of one
year and the next.
Merry Christmas! And if you
can't be merry, be merry as you
can.

final solution of the boil WeeVlI.
problem has been taken, is the
frank opinion of the few who.
have been permitted to examine.
the manuscript of a large bulle'
tin shortly to be issued by the
State Crop Pest Commission,
under the authorship of Ento'
mologist WiImon Newell and his
assistant, Mr.. G. D. Smith. The
bulletin comes as the sequel to
many months of tedious investl-
cation and experiment, in the
course of which MesSrs. Newell
and Smith have developed a sue
cessfuI method Of poisoning the
over.wintered boil weevils in
spring and early summer. The
bulletin in question is Circular
No. 80 of the State Crop Pest
Commission, entitled Powdered
Arsenate of Lead as q Practical
Boil Weeyil Poison" The con,
tents of the manuscript have
been closely guarded, as its writ.
ers did not wish TO make any
public announcement until per-
fectly sure Of their ground.
A long list of experiments, in
different parts of the State, are
described in detail. All were so
arranged that the production Of
cotton treated with powdered
arsenate of lead in a proper man
ner could be accurately cOmpar'
ed with that of the same kind OF
cotton not treated. In some eX-
perimentS the cotton production
was more than doubled by the
intelligent use of powdered ar.
senate of lead. In others the
margin of profit was small, but
a definite, unquestionable profit
from the use Of the poison was
obtained in II experiments out
of ID. The average increase in
the crop where the poison was
used was Il per cent. The aver
age production Of the cotton, all
experiments, which was treated
with the poison, was 673 pounds
of seed cotton per acre. The
average production Of all similar
cottons not poisoned, was 392
pounds per acre.
The bulletin makes it clear
that success does not depend
alone upon the use of this poison.
AS much, or more, depends upon
the mannerof application to the
cotton plants. The amount ap.
piled, the time of application and
the carefulness with which the
work is done all go towards de,
termining whether the use of the
powder is a success or a failure.
Applications Of the powdered
lead arSenate made, for example,
by busting the poison onto the
cotton from a sack, as il done in
poisoning the leaf worm with
Paris green, always prove to be
failures. The authors think they
have unearthed a new principle
in the application OF insecticides
and particularly in the applica-
ton of this poison for the boil
weevil. The applications, in all
the experiments, were made
with busting guns, machines
which force the powder into the
terminal buds of the cotton
plants with Il powerful blast of
air. By this means the poison
is made to reach many of the
feeding places of the boil weeyil
that could not be reached by any
other means.
