THE DANGER POINT
FOR BATTERIES
LOCAL BATTERY MAN TALKS OF
TROUBLES.

One thing that a good many auto
mobile owners can't understand about
hatteries is the way they hang on and
keep giving service right up to the
minute when they refuse to work at
all.
"These felix's reason say Mr., q.
C. Moore local Willard Service Sta
ton Dealer, that the light ought to
get little weaker and start little
slower until the batter gradually
wears out"
"Simetimes a battery acts that
way, but another one may keep right
on working until it is actually ready
TO fall to pieces. When the cells are
opened up for inspection, the active
material is in some cases SO broken
up that it will not hold together. This
may be due either to old age or abuse.
OF course. we never open up bat
terry without the owners consent, but
a battery in thi scondition could not
last a great while and might go out
of service at any time on the road"
Most car owners are anxious to
know the truth about their batteries
and prefer to have brand new bat
terry when they know their old one is
approaching the deadline.

Such service was made possible by
enthusiastic individual effort and
team work among the railroad men,
stimulated by competition among the
different roads. For months special
attention has been given to the pas
sengar train performance, with the
purpose Of making it generally as
nearly 100 percent perfect as possible.
Through the Reginol Directors off
Nee, each line has kept informed OF
what the others were doing, and q
splrited race for supremacy has re-

RAILROADS OF SOUTHERN RE-

New high records for on-time pas
senger train service in the Southern
Regicn were set in May by the rail
roads under government control. Re
ports made public today by the Unit
ed States Railroad Administration
show that of nearly fifty thousand
trains operated during the month by
the twenty-eight roads, 95.3 percent
maintained their schedules. This top
ped the April record Of 94.3, which
was believed to represent hitherto

BOIL WEEVIL TO
Be GIVEN QUIETUS

Washington, July s, 1918.
Chemistry has again come TO
the rescue. The di-hvdrogen
form of lead arsenate or, better
still high grade OF calcium ar
senate has been found effective
as a powder spray in controlling
the cotton boil weeVll.
An etomoligst in the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture. after years of close study
of the boil weevil and in expert
mentations of summary destruc-
lion of the pest, has found out
very effective system of poison
ing.
Officials of the Federal De
partment feel elated at the pros
poets of early control of the in
sidious pest which has been tax
ing heavy toll of the cotton crop
so much need for supplies and
to clothe the civilized world.
Now, thanks to the discovery
through science, when Mr.. Boil
Weevil stops his work OF pune
turing cotton squares and bolls,
and ambles forth to quench his
thirst from a dew drop or rain
drop on the cotton plant, he is
likely in the future to encounter
a poisoned draught which Will
be as effective as knockout
drop.
A number of experiments were
conducted in the North Delta
in Chicot County, near Lake
Village, Ark, and in Washing
ton County, near Scott, Miss. At
both of these points heavier
infestation, due to different
seasonal conditions, was en-
countered, and pronounced re-
suits were obtained from the
poison. In every case the eX-
periments were conducted on
comparatively small areas sub
iect to continual influx OF
weevils from surrounding I'M
treated cotton, but in spite of
this a very definite weevil con-
troll resulted from poisoning.
The open cotton in every case
showed definite gain to the
last row of treatment. The
gains per acre ranged from 25o
pounds to 1907 pounds of seed
cotton. 1t is difficult, of course,
to estimate how much larger
these gains would have been il
he entire cuts or entire planta-
ions had been treated and thus
he migration of weevils from
he imprisoned cotton prevent
I'd. 1t is clear, however, that the
gains secured on the small areas
we're exceedingly conservative.
In the early experiments the
riplumic form of lead arsenate
was used, but was not sufficient
ly effective. and the di-hydrogen
orm OF lead arsenate proved TO
be a better poison for the work.
Later additional tests demon
;trated that a high grade of cal
cium arsenate was still more eff
fective and has the great adj
vantage OF being cheaper than
lead arsenate. A number of
tests were made with various
mixtures and dilutions of arse
ritals. This work, however. is
still in the experimental stage,
and. according to Mr. Coad eth
er a di-hhdrogen lead arsenate
uoWLer, containing not less than
81 percent of arsenic pentoxid,
or a calcium arsenic pentoxid,
will produce an effective control
if handled properly. 1t also is
expected that II will be posi-
BILE to dilute these considerably
with some cheaper carrier, such
as lime, though this has not
been definitely determined. The
cost OF the treatment is about
$100 an mere.
