to conduct all poison operations when
the air is calm and the plants are
moist
mo poisoning should be started be-
fore the plants start to square briskly,
and it is best to wait until the weevils
become fairly abundant before start
ing treatment Owing to the high
natural shedding of the cotton plant,
a certain amount of square punctur.ng
by weevils can be permitted without
any danger to the crop, as the squares
shed from plants due to this punctur-
ing simply replace those that were
shed anyway in the absence of the
weevils. For this reason, practically
all work so far has been based on
percentage of squares punctured, and
at this gives very convenient critic
rion for measuring the boil weev.l
abundance in. the field it would be
we'll for as many men as possible to
utilize this system,
Time to Use Poison.
The usual method followed'is to
go to the four corners and the CEN
ter of a cotton field and to examine
200 squares at each point, noting
the percentage of these which have
been weevil punctured. Generally
speaking, it advisable to poison when
this percentage reaches about 10 per
cent. and to continue often enough to
keep the percentage below rs or 80
until late in the season, at which
time it may be allowed to run much
higher without injury to the crop.
1.-THE size of the plant is no index
whatever to the time Of starting the
application, and the only thing to
watch is the weevil abundance in the
field.
where a field is of any consider
able size it will frequently be found
that the weevils emerging in the
spring concentrate more or less on
the cotton Immediately adjoining
brush and along ditch banks, etc. For
this reason, it is often possible to
confine the first one or two applica-
tions to this heavier infested area
along the edge of the field and to skip
the portions of the field more distant
from the sources of infestation. Later
in the season, as the weevils increase,
it may be necessary to cover the en-
tire field.
"The time interval between appl: ca
tions will depend upon many condi-
tions, but generally speaking, it will
probably be best to plan to treat
about once week. In fact, it may
be advisable to use shorter interval
in extreme cases, while in other cases
where effective control has been Sc
cured earlier a longer time interval
can be utilized =. The poison persists
on the plants for week or more, but
it will be found that there is so much
new growth produced every week and
thus affording imprisoned tissue for
the weevils that it is best to repeat
the application at the weekly interval,
regardless of weather conditions"
It is believed that this method, if
strictly followed, must certainly mean
the death of the destructive weevil.
It is the last word in both practical
and scientific research.

run at time, the race was run in heats, the elimination contest re- sulting in Golden Heart, Marigold, Dear Heart, Sweetheart, Honey Moon, Heart O. Mine, Hearts Ease, and Wedding Morn being left for the semi finals. These proved to be intensely exciting and the betting was very heavy on the favorites. The end of the semi-finals left Sweetheart, time AT, Heart Ease, 1.2; and Dear Heart, 1.5 for the su- preme effort. The betting at this stage of the game was fast and furious, the sky being the limit. Everyone went the limit, and the race was watched with bated breath. The contest was close, the horses being neck and neck until the mid dle of the course, when Hearts Ease went off the track, the slight delay being fatal to her chances to win, and Sweetheart and Dear Heart tied, the judge announcing his decision amid the wild cheering of the packers.

VALENTINE PARTY AT BROWNE HOME
 SATURDAY NIGHT

n uoSC eHJoydDie anu uulQue Valentine party, given by Mesdam $ Frederick D. Browne and J. J.. Kestly took place at the home o!s MT. and Mrs. F. D. Browne, q, the Commission reserve, on Saturday night. The main feature of the party was much in the nature of a regular race track meet, with all its attendant excitement, and as the legend on the cards announced, it was "An Evening at Tia Juana Race Track"
 The main hall of the Browne home was the scene of the exciting races, the center of the hall form ing the track, and the sides being used as grandstand, the two rooms flanking the main hall, which were known as the "Goldfield Club" and the 'Last Chance, being de- voted to the business pertaining to the races in progress and where, during the course of the night, much money" was made and lost
 The guests of Mesdames Browne and Kestly were Mesdames Bagley, E. R. Brown, J. R. Bowen, R. E.
 Burns, R. w. Calderhead, M. j.. Cooney, R. J. Diven, J. H. Flower, E. 1. Foster, w. H. Gilcher, R. R. Myers, R. S. Mcdonald, L. O'Keefe, J. H. Russell, R. G Southworth, Carl Schmidt, M. V. Tyler, Ike P. Taylor, Misses Mildred Anderson, Jane Anderson, A. Ferretti, E. Me Rae, Mckenzie, Messrs J. R. Bowen, F. D. Browne, Erie Brown, R. E. Burns, Dr. de la Vergne, R. J. Diven, Frank Doner, J. H. Flower, E. I. Foster, W. H. Gilcher, G. L. (Cap) Hall, J. J. Kestly, R. R. Myers, R. s. Mcdonald, George Markus, Larry Harry Shaw, R. G. South worth, Carl Schmidt, M. V. Tyler, G. K. Toussaint, Ike P. Taylor, and E. T. Wolcott
 The guests began to arrive shortly after eight o'clock, and as soon as they had divested themselves of their overcoats, each of the gentle men of the party was handed a roll of phony money amounting to 5000 and a list of the horses and jockeys that were to enter the races. The list is as follows:
 Cupid's Quiver-Mrs. Gilcher.
 Orange Blossom-Mrs. Tyler. Glad Heart-Mrs. Bowen. Honey Moon-Miss McRae.
 Cnpid's Dart-Mrs. O'Keefe.
 Great Heart-Mrs. Burns Heart O the World-Mrs. Cooney Wedding Bells-Mrs. Myers. Sweetheart-Jane Anderson. Flower. Heart O the North-Mrs. Schmidt. Dear Heart-Miss Schaffer. Cupid Awake-Mrs. Calderhead. True Heart-Mrs. Diven. Heart Courageous, Mildred Anderson Peg O My Heart-Mrs. Southworth Hearts Ease-Miss Ferretti Strong Heart-Mrs. Russell. Cupid's Wings-Mrs. Taylor. Bleeding Heart-Mrs. Bagley. Heart O. Mine-Miss Mckenzie. Wedding Morn-Mrs. Brown. Golden Heart-Mrs. Mcdonald. Wings O Love-Mrs Foster.
 Three of the jockeys failed to show up and were accordingly scratched. All of the jockeys wore distinctive color combination in the shape of a large bow in the hair and also showed their colors in the beautiful gowns they wore.
 Dr. R. J. Diven acted as judge and starter; F. D. Browne was time- keeper and clerk of the course; G. ! (Cap) Hall took in the money and registered the bets, while J. l. kestly made out the betting tickets.
 Strips of narrow white ribbon stretched taut from the lower to the upper end of the hall, formed the track; slight slit, sufficiently arge for the insertion of a pair 'f scissors was made in the lower
