6AD WARNS OF MONEY
WASTE IN WEEVIL FIGHT

become alarmed about the boil wee
vii until their fields were practical
ly taken by them and are now in
sisting on trying to get poison and
busting machinery in hurry for use
under these extreme conditions and
it appears that busting is being at
tempted in many cases where it is alb
solutely not warranted by conditions
existing in the fields. Consequently,
there are several points which the
department most strongly urges
planters wishing to poison to careful
ly consider before deciding.
In the first place, is your cotton al
ready completely infested with Vice.
wills? If so, the fight will be doubly
hard in attempting to control them.
Starting in with complete infesta-
ton is quite a different proposition
from simply holding in check de-
veloping infestation. We have on
numerous occasions started in pols-
oning tests with a complete lnfesta-
ton and forced the weevil back suf1i-
GENTLY to make fair crop, but re-
member that this was under the dl-
rection of experienced men and also
that it requires much more poison
per application and several more ap-
plications than would have been nee
essary if treatment on the same cot
| ton had been started earlier. Start
ing with a complete infestation is
always a very hard fight and right
now is to be considered a rather poor
risk.
If your cotton is not already COM
pletely infested, are you sure you
can get busting machinery and poison
to your fields before the weevils are
practically beyond control? At pres
ent the supply of poisoning materials
is apparently very short indeed IN
the South and almost the only stocks
available are those in a few northern
factories. Shipments from these are
bound to be slow at best and are al
ways subject, of course, to risk of de-
lay. Consequently, before purchasing
any material, every man is urged to
make sure that he will have reason
able period for delivery before his
infestation is likely to be beyond
control.
Another question which would be
carefully considered is whether OF
not the cotton is actually worth pols-
oning. There is undoubtedly great
deal of cotton this year, even IN the
best producing sections, which abso-
lutely will not justify the expense
involved in poisoning. 1t has been
in the grass so long and then cultlvat-
ed so severely that it has been stunt
ed beyond redemption and it is ab,,
solutely waste of money to put
poison on such cotton. 1t could not
make a crop without the weevl.

The Grasshopper Catcher

When grasshoppers make their APP
pearance they can be destroyed by
the common poisoned bait method.
But there is another way of getting
rid of grasshoppers that makes the
pests pay for the trouble of killing
or catching them. This method con-
sists of driving a grasshopper catch
er through an infested field, catch
ing all the grasshoppers that hop
and then feeding the insects to chick
ems. They can be dumped into sacks
and hung up to dry and fed as dry
grass hoppers, or if it is preferred
to feed the grasshoppers alive the
machine can be hauled to the poultry
yard and placed so that the front will
face the light. The insects will find
their way out, but not too fast for
an ordinary flock of chickens. Thus
the grasshopper catcher becomes
self-feeder.
An analysis of grasshoppers shows
Cnem TO De nlSu III pIOC0ilI @'tAN "A-
fore good chicken feed. 1t is known
that chickens are more productive
when insects are a part of their ra-
ton, and grasshoppers when dried
can be used with other feeds during
the winter.
The grasshopper catcher, which
has an advantage over the old style
hopperdozer in that the insects can
be utilized for chicken feed, IS about
sixteen feet long, with an upright
but curved piece of tin in front, and
so arranged that the grasshoppers
will strike it as they hop up, falling
to the bottom and back through
narrow trap opening into a box be-
hind. The tin front does not extend
quite to the bottom, where just IN
front of the tin shield is strip OF
tin placed so that there is an opening
about one and half or two inches
wide. This front strip or lip may be
made by using a sixteen foot length
of gutter. one side of which is f1atten-
ed outward. The back and top of the
box in the rear is covered with wire
screen and the top should be so hing
ed that it can easily be opened and
the accumulated grasshoppers SHOW
eled out as needed.
A horse is hitched at the extend
ed beam at each end and the catch
err dragged through the infested area,
beginning at the sides and working
toward the centre of the field.

London Critic Blames
Wilson For Peace Delay

London. Nov. 25.-The action of
the American Senate in apparently
rejecting the peace treaty seems a
moral collapse on the western
'front.'" J. L. Garvin writes in the
Weekly Observer.
The weeklies generally, however,
view the Senate's stand at a reaction
from the war and an unacceptable
phase of reconstruction. They eX-
pect the next session of Congress to
be "calmer" and to realize the ne
cessity of American cooperation
in restoring normal conditions
throughout the world"
Defeat of the treaty was due
chiefly to opposition to President
Wilson's policies" Garvin points out.
When reelected, Wilson became
virtually a dictator" leaving the
Republicans out of war jobs and
without representation in the Peace
Commission. Taft, Root and Hughes
might have been named as dele
gates to the Paris deliberations, Gar
vim asserts, but instead the Presi-
dent excluded these representatives of
''at least one-half of America"
Even though the Republicans con-
troll the Senate, which has concur
rent powers in treaty making, and
hold tn fate of Wilson's policies in
the hollow of it's hand" the Presi-
dent chose to ignore this party, the
writer points out. Had Lloyd George
and Clemenceau faced a similar sit
uation they would have fallen long
ago" he declares.
"The President relied upon appeal
ing to public opinion to override the
Senate Republicans" Garvin says,
and compelled them to fight This
was more than political human ma
tura no,il6 stand They dpterO1ipa6
to use their power to defeat and
humiliate Wilson and break down
what they termed the Presidential
autocracy.'
THE Presidents illness ruined his
last chance. If the treaty is de-
feated no man ever will hold again
the place Wilson held in Paris"

WIFE SLAIN in
DREAM TRAGEDY
New Jersey Man Tells of Kill
ing Intruder" and Finds
His Spouse Dead

New York, Nov. 25.-James Sap
Sunday night he shot at a man who
had climbed through the window of
his bedroom. He awoke this morn
ing to find his wife lying beside him
dead. One chamber of .32=caliber
revolver which Sappin always kept
under his pillow had been dis
charged. -
Sappin called the Irvington police
headquarters when he found that his
wife had been killed by a bullet
i wound in her head. The story of
his dream he told to the first patrol
man who arrived at his home at $50
Colt street. Insistent questioning by
the police to-day has failed to break
down the story of the dream mur-
der.
"Gets BlaclIhand Note"
During the night, Sappin said, he
dreamed he had received black
hand letter demanding $1,000. Later,
he told the police, he saw in his
dream a man clambering over the
window sill of his bedroom. AS the
intruder approached, Sappin drew
the revolver from under his pillow
and fired once.
Whether the shot took effect, Sap
pin said, he did not know, for his
dream drifted off at that point and
he could recall nothing more until
he awoke this morning.
Sappin, who is employed in an
Irvington factory, had been married
seven years. His wife was 32 years
old. They had two children. John,
4 years old, and Agnes, 2. Both
youngsters were asleep when the po-
lice arrived.
Married Life Seemed Happy
During his seven years of married
life Sappin told the police he had
had no serious disagreement with
his wife and their neighbors said to-
day that they had always regarded
Mr.. and Mrs. Sappin as congenial
and happy couple.
No possible motive for the killing
of Mrs. Sappin was suggested.
Many Italians live in the neigh
borhood of the Sappin home, a two
family structure. Blackhand actiVi-
ties have been the subject of recent
rumors in that district.
The Irvington police seemed in
clined to credit Sappin's story to-day,
but he was held for investigation.
