The Board Of Education should be

inspectors and nurses to properly safe
guard the health Of school children, ac.
cording to DR.. G. Lincoln Furbush. di-
rector of the Department. of Health.
THE school code definitely provides
in Section 1905 that medical inspectors
shall at least once each year examine
every child" he said. Despite this
order, the educational authorities know
that their staff is only large enough to
allow the inspection of child once
every two years.

POISONING BOIL WEEVIL

What Is claimed to be the most A..
fective method yet devised for COM
batting the boil weevil Is that of poi
soning 1t with calcium arsenate. The
method was perfected by b. r. Coad
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. at the Tallulah, La, sta
tion. after several years Of expert
menting. The weevil is poisoned by
busting the cotton at night or while
the dew Is on, using a busting ma
chine to apply It. The material poi.
sons the dew on which the weevil de-
pends for his drinking water The
weevil is killed, but there is another
generation Matching out, so that the
poison must be applied three or four
times at week or ten days intervals.
Experiments show that the weevil
can be kept down to such an extent
that they oan not do serious damage.
The cotton saved Is worth far mora
than the cost.
1t is important that the right kand
OF calcium arsenate be used. There
are different kinds, made for differ
ont purposes. The wrong kind may
be too weak to kill weevils, or too
strong and in1ure the cotton plant
There Is no use to begin dustins
the cotton plants before about ten
out Of every 100 squares are punctured
by the weevn. 1t will be a waste OF
money to undertake to spray field
thoroughly to when there are fewer
weevils in the field. While 1t will
kill practically all that are alive, the
new hatch will have to be taken care
Of by subsequent sprays. II is not ad
vised that any one undertake to dust
the plants with anything else than the
regular dusting machines. The polo

Before the World War, America was
entirely dependent upon Chile for the
supply Of nitrate of soda, the only
chemical from which nitric acid can
be made. In case this country became
involved in war with any nation that
could control the sea our foe would
have us at her mercy, for she could
cut off our essential means of striking
back.
Other nations, however, were
equally dependent upon the Chilean
nitrate supply. GcSmany was pur-
chasing One-third of 1t. She had OK
pected to hold the sea with her sub
marines but failed. But a process
for extracting nitrogen from tho air
had been obtained by Germany some
years before from Italian chemists.
This process had been successful in
producing a high grade nitrogenous
fertilizer from which in turn could
be extracted ammonium nitrate. Ger

ammonium nitrate from the Qir on a

{ Reported Not Equal a
J To Demand

Atlanta, Ga.-A survey of, the fer
tilizer situation by those familiar with
1t indicates that there may be short
age of commercial plant food in 1920.
The reasons assigned for this are prin-
cipaly that strikes have interfered
with the production Of materials. In
addition, there has been some diff
Guilty in obtaining shipments over the
railroads.
TO be more specific, the long drawn
out strike Of miners in the rock phos-
phate fields Of Florida prevented a
supply of rock phosphate being ship
ped to the factories. This and the diff
ficulty of getting prompt shipments
when the mines resumed work, 1t is
claimed, has put the manufacture of
acid phosphate more than three
months behind, besides reducing the
possible supply.
AS to ammoniates or heterogeneous
materials, 1t is pointed out that the
coal and steel plant strikes greatly
reduced the possible output OF sui
phate of ammonia. Tankage and cot
tonseed meal are so much in demand
as feed as to be unavailable or too ex-
pensive to use as fertilizers. Nj
trate of soda is being shipped In larger
amounts, but not as cheaply as was
expected. 1t seems that the demand
for nitrate Of soda In the orient, es-
peoially, has kept up the price higher
than was anticipated.
As for potash, there Is going to be
fair supply, the first time since the
European war began. A considerable
amount of potash has been shipped
from Germany to France, while there
Is quite an accumulation of stocks

there Is going to be great difficulty

sooner 1t is known how much the
farmer wants, the sooner the manu-.
facturer will know how big q Job he
has on his hands and how hard he

America found herself I'm the World
War the Ordnance Department turned
to Mr.. Washburn's company for helm.
The Air Nitrates Corporation vns
formed, with Mr.. Washburn at its
head, to build the Muscle Shoals plant.
1t was assisted by several other well
known corporations, such as the West
inghouse Church Kerr Company, which
put up the plant buildings, the perma-
nent city and utilities; the ]. G. White
Corporation, which designed and con-
structed the power plant; the Chem
ica' Construction Company, which de-
signed and built the nitric aciJ plant
and the M. w. Kellogg Company, which
furnished the piping and built the
chimneys.
Beginning work in November, 1017,
the big plant and new city at Muscle
Shoals was completed within one
years time. Had the expected spring
drive of 1919 materialized this one
plant alone would have been able to
supply 13 per cent. of all the high
explosives used by all the Allied ar
mics on all fronts during that drive,

IT,. VA. SUMMER SCHOOL

Through the cooperation of the
University of Virginia, the Potomac
Division Of the American Red Gross
is Offering courses for social work
ers at the summer school Of the
University IN Charlottesville, Va.
from June 21st to September 3rd
The subjects in Social Science in
clude Social Psychology, Rural
Problems, Community Organization
and Case Work. The work in rural
committees will be featured under
Thomas L. Harris. Of Miami Uni
versity and Miss Eugenia Bryant
of the Bureau of Educational Ser
vice of the Potomac Division who
will conduct for the Red Cross the
family case work classes and super
wise all the field work under the
courses in Case Work and Commun-
ity Organization.
One of the most interesting
phases of the courses is the extern
sive field work. The summer school
will work in conjunction with the
Albemarle County Chapter of the
Red Cross, the State Department Of
Health, the Medical School and the
clinics. This will be especially bene-
fcia to rural social workers and
Home Service secretaries in rural
communities.
The course in social psychology
includes an analysis of social rela-
tons from the sociological point Of
view; statement of practical prob
lens and terms Of group life. Rural
problems covers the study of atti-
tudes and problems in the open
country, with special reference to
those of Virginia; attention will be
given to public health, education,
recreation and economic relations.
The course in Case Work teaches
the methods Of dealing with prob
lens Of individuals and families,
and Community Organizations gives
practical course in the methods Of
organizing and utilizing the social
resources in the small community.
The field work for these last two
courses will be in cooperation with
the local agencies.
Admission to the summer school is
through the regular University chan
nels, which means that applicants
must meet the entrance requirements
