The youthful and chic suit shown
here will interest those who are look
ing for novelty. Taking advantage Of
several privileges offered by spring
styles, it has assembled straight lines,
f1aring sleeves, crisscross tucks and
rows of buttons in a charming model
made of beige-colored, smooth-faced
cloth. Except for diagonal, slit pock-
cts, set in at each side, the skirt is
quite plain, bearing out the elegance
which the designer had in mind and
executed so we'll. The coat has slash
ed seams forming five panels, two at
the front. one at each side and one at
the back. Each front panel is dec
grated with a row Of buttons, and the
side panels have beautifully croW-bar
tucks as finish at the bottom.

Nothing is better accredited for til
summer wardrobe than separate skirts
and they are made Of many different
materials. Beginning with such sheer
goods as georgette and organdie they
progress through satins and heavy
silks to fabrics of wool and heavy
cottons for utility skirts. They often
are narrowed toward the bottom and
they all have pockets or imita-

Earmhouses Modernized.

AS farmhouses become adapted to
the taste of the women who are, in
SO many cases, taking over their man
agement, it is found that many of the
old institutions of the farmhouse
the parlor, the many small rooms, the
dark halls-are disappearing. Parti-
tons are torn out to make spacious
living rooms; porches are added, and
everything is arranged for the utmost
convenience Of the. housekeeper who

ions prevailing within the particula,
cut under consideration. In most of
the experiments conducted so far
from three to five applications were
made but, as has been shown, the
effectiveness of these was consider
ably reduced by the fact that they
were on such small plats. In the
only case in which experiments on
a very large scale conducted, the
effect of single application was as
pronounced as is ordinarily secured
from about three applications on
small plat, due, of course, to the con-
slant migration of weevils into the
small plat.
Cost of Treatment.
The cost of treatment will, of
course, vary widely. In the strictly
the experiments conducted so far
it has averaged usually about 81 an
acre for each application. 1t must
be recognized, he [sver, that it will
be possible to reduce this consider
ably when applications are made on
a larger scale, and with improved
machinery, further reduction will
result from the lessened poison re-
quirements. In addition, the prob
ability that it will be possible tc
utilize carriers and thus further re-
duce the amount of poison required
per acre renders the cost subject to
still greater reduction. 1t should
be remembered, also, thai very rare
ly will it be necessary to poison an
entire plantation to control the wee
vii infestation. The weevils OF
emerging in the spring will always
concentrate near the Information
quarters in which they have spent
the preceding winter. They remain
rather closely at these points until
they have multiplied sufficiently to
threaten shortage in the local food
supply. For this reason a great
part of the cotton is not seriously in
tested with weevils until sometime
after midseason and often not until
well along in August. Of course
the control measures adopted must
depend on conditions on each planta-
ton, but by concentrating on the
more heavily infested cuts just be-
fore the weevils become sufficiently
abundant to start movement to the
remainder of the cotton it will be
possible not only directly to benefit
the cotton treated, but 20 protect
the remainder of the plantation by
preventing the weevil migration. In
this way the cost of the treatment fer
comparatively few acres will be
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-06-29

borne by the benefit derived by the
entire plantation. In this connection
it probably will often prove adVlsa-
BILE to give several applications to the
more heavily infested cuts and per-
haps only single application to the
remainder.
Necessity for Further Experimental
Work.
In conclusion it should be empha-
sized that the present bulletin Is
merely progress report" and the
writer does not wish to be construed
as in any way advising the general
use of poisons for boil weevil control.
There are now too many doubtful
points especially as regards the tech
niqueAof application and as has been
shown the technique of application
largely determines the benefits de-
rived. At the present stage of the IN
vestigations it is impossible to out
line definite plan of procedure for
the poisoning of weevils under all
conditions and much more experiment
tai work will be required before such
a plan can be proposed With the
present lack of information on 50
many important points any attempt
to poison the waevil by the inexperi-
enced may very easily result in ac'
tual loss.

TIME OF APPLICATIONS.
When To Begin Pois oning.

The technique of application is OBJ
viously much more important than
the actual poison utilized if the poi
son if satisfactory degree of toxicfty
be selected. AS has been mentioned,
very doubtful profits were shown by
eA '1ynessas s ss!1' estions, and the
kanAs definite gains resulted from
treatments made while the infesta-
ton was at it's height. This is evil
emily due to a combination of condi-
lions which need not be discussed
in detail here, but which caused an
application made at the time the
weevils were doing their maximum
injury to the crop to be far more eff
fective in their control. This time,
of course, varies considerably under
different conditions ana in different
seasons, but is usually the time when

CALCIUM ARsENATE POISONING PROCESS EXPLAINED BY ORIGINATOR


the cotton manifestly slackens in
blooming, and while the experiments
are not yet completed to the point
of outlining definitely just when the
most effective season of application
will be, it will probably be found at
about this time.
Interval Between Applications.
The time interval between appllca-
ions is another important point which
must be determined but concerning
which comparatively little is known
as vet. In most of the tests conduct
ed so far the applications have been
repeated at weekly intervals more as
matter of convenience than for any
particular reason but it seems prob
able that about once a week will con-
stitute an effective application.
Another question of Importance
is the time of day for application
1t is, of course, we'll known that
much more effective poisoning with
dry dust can be conducted While the
dew is on the plant, as the poison
not only clings to the plant better
but has much less tendency to DRIFT
awav from the cotton. A number OF
tests have been conducted IN an at
tempt to secure some information on
this score but were so hampered by
the light infestation of 1917 that
definite conclusions are not warrant
ed. 1t is evident that more effective
poisoning usually can be done about
A D. m. until about 8 a. IN. than at
other times, although fairly success
full results have been secured from.
applications made throughout the
day. 1t will probably be fouEd that
it is advisable to poison as much as
possible during the evening, night
and morning, and to plan to poison
during the day only in case OF en-
Urgency.
Machinery For Applying the Poison.
The machinery for the application
must, of course, vary according to
the requirements of different condit-
ions. A very satisfactory hand gun
is already upon the mar
ket and was largely utilized in the
experiments described. This gun,
however, will cover only about 4 or
5 acres day, and it was, Of course,
necessary to develop mahinery adapt
ed to larger areas. For this pur-
pose power machine has been de-
veloped. These have been in
creased in efficiency until now near
ly 200 acres per day can be covered
by single machine. In addition,
efforts are being made to develop
an intermediate type of machine
which can be sold comparatively
cheaply and which will be adapted to
the man planting so to 100 acres
of cotton, and cover 20 to 80 acres
per day.
Amount of Poison Per Application.
The amount of poison REQUIRED
per application has depended so far
more on the requirements of the ma
chinery utilized than On the amount
necessary for thoroughly busting the
cotton. AS a general experimental
application have averaged about 5
pounds per acre, but it is apparent
that this amount is excessive, and
with further improvements in the
machinery it will be possible to &C
complish an effective poisoning with
a much smaller amount.
Number of Applications.
The number of applications neces-
sary undoubtedly will vary. This
must depend entirely on the condit-

them reached what is ordinarily term
ed the Flower garden" stage of
blooming five to seven blooms per
plailt on a single day being not at all
rare. In starting this treatment it
had been anticipated that several
applications would be necessary to
produce the desired result, but the eff
feet of the single application Was 30
sary to repeat it. The weevils had
been so reduced that only SO per
cent. of the squares were punctured,
and although thousands of weevils
were being bred out from the squares
on the ground or were coming in from
other plantations daily, it was still
obvious that the weevils would great
ly reduce their attack on the bolls I'M
til they had caught up with the
squares then present, and that this
period would be long enough to allow
the bolls to become sufficiently hard
ened to avoid weevil damage. Owing
to the necessity Of poisoning consid-
cradle areas in this case and to the
inability to leave imprisoned plats
as checks, it was of course impossi-
be to determine the exact benefit de-
rived from the treatment. Rough
comparisons, however, based on
yields on surrounding cuts, made it
obvious that considerable gain had
been secured and it was evident that
the poisoningswas very profitable
operation.
Laboratory and S0ther Experiments.
Numerous otEssf5feld experiments
might be detailed Is add weight to the
results secured, but the ones de-
scribed have been selected ~as illus
trating the different methods follow
ed and the different conditions expert
enced, and are surely sufficient to IL
lustrate the effectiveness of the poi
son. In edition to these field tests
a numbeVof laboratory STUDIES were
conducted at the same time to check
the results ines he field. These were
conducted under cage conditions and
wee for the purpose Of comparing
the effectiveness of different poisons
and different methods of poisoning.
Importance of Moisture in Poisoning.
On integestilgs fssltg a ssf.t tse fore
going tes& wa sfsFtssn7leetts, s
sity of the presence of moisture n
any considerable degree of weevil
mortality was to be caused by the
poison. 1t sass found that only a
very light mortality would result from
tests where the plants were kept abb
solutely dry after poisoning; but as
soon as moisture was introduced the
mortality increased tremendously.
This evidently indicated the conclu-
sion that at least a major portion OF
the success in poisoning was due to
ingestion by the weevil while drink
ing.
Relative Effectiveness of Different
~ Arsenicals.
In the course of these experiments
quite a number of different polsons
were utilized and it was found that
nearly all arsenicals were effective to
a certain degree, but that most OF
them we're not sufficiently effective
to be satisfactory. At the outset the
ordinary triplumbic of lead arsenate
was utilized. 1t was found, however.

will produce an effective control if
utilize properly. 1t also seems prob
able that it will be POSSIBLE to dilute
these considerably with some cheap
carrier such as lime, though this has
not been definitely determined as yet.
Density of The Polon
Fully as important as the actual
composition of the chemical is it's
physical condition. When the expert
ments were first started practically
all of these chemicals were prepared
only in a density of about 40 cubic
inches per pound. 1t was evident,
however, that a much finer powder
would afford a greater distribution
per pound, and also that finer pow
er was apparently more readily taken
up by the dew and held in suspension
for the weevils. Consequently these

The days of prairie schooners and rickety old wagons drawn by mules or cayuses over rut-gouged and rock strewn desert trails have given place to the modern automobile with springs and pneumatic tires.
