Baker Tells of Test Which
Broke All Records,

Washington, Feb 21--Announce-
ment was made today by Secretary
Baker that the first of the American
built Liberty battleplanes that had
been consigned to the eXpeditionary
forces in France had arrived thore
safely.
In making this announcement Sec
rotary Baker said the first shipment,
although in itself not large, marks
the final overcoming of many diff
c,lties met in building up this new
aud intricate industry"
These planes" Mr. Baker said,
are equipped with the first Liberty
r,otors from machine production. One

all records for speed and climbing for

ton which began a month ago, is now

production will be reached in a few
weeks
Use High Powered Engines.
only the twelve cylinder tyne IS
being made, as developments abroad
have made it wise to concentrate on
the high powered engine instead Of
the eight cylinder"
Optimistic as these statements ap-
goar, the secretary said they should
not be exaggerated and should be
considered in the light Of these facts;
After three years of warfare the
total number of places able to take
the air at any one time on either side
OF the western front has not been
more than $500.
Forty-six men are required on the
ground for every plane in the air,
making total of 115,000 men needed
for the present maximum OF $500
planes.
For every plane in the air there
must be two replacement planes on
the ground and one training plane
for every pilot who eventually reaches
the front with a spare engine for each
plane.
Now Needs Many Men.
After reviewing the enemy obstacles
that had to be overcome in getting
the aircraft production program un-
der way, Mr. Baker said the grec'
problem now remaining is to get the
thousands of skilled mechanics, en-
ginemen, motor repairmen, wood and
metal workers, etc, needed to keeT
the planes in perfect condition and
without which the machines turned
out soon will be useless and the fly
ers helpless.

POISON MAY CONTROL WORST
PEST OF AMERICAN COTTON

Control of the cotton boil weevil
seems to be in a fair way of accom-
plishment by the work of an ento-
mologist Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
When that insidious pest, which
has been taking heavy toll of the
cotton crop and annually extending
his feeding grounds, stops his work
of puncturing cotton squares and
bolls, and ambles forth to quench
his thirst from a dewdrop or rain
drop on the cotton plant, he is like
ly in the future to imbibe a poisoned
draught which will be as effective as
a Knockout drop. What this means
to the cotton growers Of the South
and the industry as a whole car hard
" be estimated in dollars and cents,
but the curtailment of the weevil's
activities, even in small part, is so
important as to make the discovery
by the Department of Agriculture
of the fact that arsenicals may be
used as a powder spray in controll-
ing this pest one of its most striking
and valuable contributions to the
agricultural industry.
Poison Weevil's Drinking Water
MI. B. R. Coad, of the Bureau of
Entomology, while working on some
biological Investigations of the boil
weevil, found that although the wee
wills are not hard drinkers, they drink
regularly from the rain or dew col
lected in droplets on the leaves OF
the cotton plants. Having been on
the trail of the cotton boil weevil
for some time, his logical inquiry
was, "Why not poison the water
which the weevils drink" Since
1913 Mr.. Coad, with a corps of en-
tomologists with headquarters at
Tallulah, La, has been experiment.
ing with various poisons applied IN
different ways, all with the purpose
of administering a dose which would
be fatal to these insects which have
invaded such a large part Of the
cotton-producing territory of the
South.
These entomologists have not fin
ished their work, but they have prov
ed by a series of experiments that
boil weevils can be poisoned under
field conditions and that poisoning
is a practicable method of controll-

Columbia.-As a war measure, to be
applied individually where conditions
demand 1t, and as a means Of saving
a vast amount of foodstutfs and feed
stuffs as well as other crops, Governor
Manning, in a call to the patriotism of
the people Of the rural sections OF
South Carolina, urges that neighbors
lend of their time to help work the
crops on farms from which men have
been drafted into the army. The gov
ernor's statement follows:
1.-THE necessity of sending men over
seas as rapidly as possible Is greater
than ever. before. More and more
men must be drafted in to the army.
The War Department finds 1t impos-
sible to grant furloughs to these men
who have been called away from the
farms. The need of men is greater
in the army. I realize that the short
ago Of farm labor Is q serious handi-
cap. Crops must be cultivated. A
little later the harvests will be on.
In this situation I urge that, in every
community throughout the State,
netghbors, who know local conditions,
lend themselves and give Of their time
to help on tho farms from which the
operators and laborer have been
taken into the army. In this way, and
in this way only, will . great economic
loss be avoided. In this way can q
great amount Of foodstuhs and feed
stuffs, too precious in view Of war
demands and war conditions to lose,
but which will otherwise probably bs
lost, be saved. This kind Of service
Is, and should DO regarded, as real
war work. There exists . great op-
portunity to serve periodically and
unselfshly, in = way that WITH count

will be quick to see and grasp II.
