How Frequent and Often to Poison
1t has been found that If the spray.
ing begins when about 10 per cent Of
the squares are punctured and il re-
peated every four days that as a rule
three sprayings are all that is neces-
sary. If weather interferes and the
applications are more than four days
apart, then more Of them must be
made.
Amount Required Per Acre and Cost
From five to seven pounds of cal
cium arsenate are required to thor
oughly dust an acre. At the present
time the cost of calcium arsenate is
rs cents per pound. With expert
ence in applying the poison, and a
good machine, five pounds OF cal
cium arsenate can be made to do the
work satisfactorily.
Applied When Dew Is On
Since the weevil is poisoned by
drinking dew which has been poison
ed it is necessary to apply the poi
son while the dew is on the plants.
1t is customary to put it on at night,
using good lights with which to see
how to do the work.
Machines Required
Unless a farmer can get a desirable
machine, it is better not to undertake
to use poison. The calcium arsenate
must be forced into the atmosphere
from a machine that will form a dust
cloud This dust will settle on all
parts of the plant.
Three types of machines are to be
had, hand gun that is suitable for
twenty-five acres and under, cart
sprays and power sprays for larger
operations. Various types OF machines
are tested by Professor Coad and as
sociates at Tallulah La, and they will
give information as to which are sat
isfactory. In this connection, these
government men will also analyze
samples of calcium arsenate without
charge to see il they conform to spec
ifications. Ii is essential that the ma
terial conform exactly to specifica-
tiOns.
A few simple precautions are all
that is necessary to prevent harm to
farm animals and operators OF the
machines, such as mu2zling the horses
and the men washing before eating.
If Calcium Arsenate is not all used
one season it can be carried over the
next and be just as good for use then.
It does not deteriorate if kept in a
dry place.
Some few farmers have tried cal
cium arsenate and claim to have OBJ
tanned no desirable results. A mum
Der of these failures have been inves
tigated and almost invariably 1t has
been found that the reason they failed
is that they did not follow instructions
1t is not considered advisable for a
group OF farmers to cooperate in buy
ing a large machine to apply the poi
son for the reason that the period when
poison must be applied is brief, and
il weather interferes to some extent.
it would be found that all the farmers
would want the use OF the mach inc
at the same time.

POISONING THE
BOIL WEEvIL
Extensive Trials Show That Cal
cium Arsenate Properly Ap-
piled Is Profitable Means o1
Controlling the Boil Weevil---
Method Perfected by Govern
ment Experts.
c. A. Whittle Soil Improvement
Committee.

Calcium arsenate, the boil weevii
poison, was applied to more than
100000 acres of cotton in Mississippi,
LOUISIANA Arkansas and Texas dur
ing the season OF 1919, under the di-
rection of government experts. The
results obtained lead them to state
that a saving of 500 pounds of seed
cotton to the acre were not an un-
usual matter, and, in some cases, as
much as 1000 pounds were protected
from the weevil
These savings have been made at
an outlay of from $500 to $1,000 per
acre, which includes cost of materials,
labor and reasonable charge for de-
probation of machinery At the price
at which cotton. is now selling this
would indicate that it is we'll worth
while to poison the boil weevil.

fected this means of holding the vice.

on very low yielding acres, therefore
cotton should be grown on the better
land and be fertilized so as to pro
duce maximum yields.
In combating the weevil with pol
son, 1t is not possible to exterminate
1t, but the object is to control 1t so
that they will not destroy more squares
of the cotton than would naturally
shed. This, it has been found, can
be done, thus assuring the farmer
that he can grow a full crop under boil
weevil conditions.
When to Begin Poisoning
Poison is not applied until about
10 to Is per cent of the squares have
been punctured The time to begin
can be determined by going into the
field in various places, counting a
hundred squares taking all on each
plant, and II ten to fifteen out of
each 100 Is destroyed, the spraying
can begin. In large fields 1t Is fire.

New Idea Said
To Be Adopted,

A new idea is said to prevail among
number of the smaller planters, with
the hope of making conditions pleasan-
ter, life easier, and cheaper commodi-
ties for the farmers, as well as for all
those affiliated and associated with
them. The idea is to establish COM
munity ocmmissary, to purchase at
wholesale and to sell to the hands, to
the farmers, and the families on the
different places goods, necessities, at
actual cost price, plus the cost of trans
portation, and operating expense. This
is good as far as it goes. We believe
the better idea, and the one that is
gaining endorsement is the one where
in an agriculturist will have no connec>
tion with any commisary or store, and
where the laborer will be given no or
dors, but Will be paid what he earns
in coin of the realm, and be at liberty
to purchase wherever he pleases, and
to that end the advantages, if any win
be of his own choosing. The keeping of
labor in debt is a detriment to the plan
tation whether that debt be due to
The plantations, or to some establish
nent on which he is given orders, and
this has been one of the big factors in
liscouraging the laborer, and which
sent him from the farm to other occu-
cations in preference,

Averse Report
Made Public.

An adverse report was made to Con-
gress by the Chief Engineer of the Ar.
my Department, on the dredging of
Bayou Terrebonne from Houma Il
Thibodaux. The report had been ant..
cipated, in fact was no secret, being
intimatod shortly after the numerous
hearings. It is unfortunate, and despite
the report, contending that the under
taking is inadvisable, large territory
is affected, and great convenitnce
aight have been given by the dredg-
ing of the only remaining nine miles,
from this point to the Ago place in
Tcrrebonne. The facts are contrary to
the expert report, in that freight is
now being handled from Schriever to
Houna by truck on account Of rail-
road rates, and the dredging of the
stream, would in freight rates alone
have been of incalculable benefit to the
Terrebonne section with Bayou Lafour
che and make another profitable out
let and route for the IntercoastaI Ca
nal. 1t is difficult to estimate what the
United States Engineers require for a
favorable report, when we consider the
volumes of unquestioned facts submit
ted in this and other undertakings,
equally as beneficial to the public.

Very Quietly.

If ever an election was held without

trumpets it was held last Tuesday. So

The election was to vote for

present the parish were Judges L. P.

district. But for the fact that the banks
closed, observing the holiday, all cleo

would have been any the wiser. At
the poll in this town, there was only
cne commissioner and clerk, Miss Es
ther Braud, it being the first time a
lady served as commissioner and clerk.

Congress Gives
Promise To Work.

Evidence last week would indicate
the Congress and Senate of the United
States are inclined at last
to work. Other than play
| ing politics and killing time, little
else has been done previously by this
law making body. The War Finance
! Corporation great and helpful me-
oium during the war, has hope of be-
ing revived. The Senate passed a reso-
lution Monday reviving the same, and
the matter was before the lower house
this week. This is the hope of the agri-
culturist.
The lower House Monday passed a
resolution repeating all war time mea-
sures, the repeating document receiv-
ing unanimous vote.
The question of immigration also had
its inning in the House and was sent
the Senate this week, the bill, as trans
mitted to the Senate, prohibits i'm
migration for one year, then makes
other provisions to minimize to great
extent the influx of aliens.

This means that if an outside dealer

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. Deafness
is the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which IS
AN infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces of the system.

School President
Passes Away.

The community was surprised anc
| shocked last Friday evening to learn Of
the sudden death of Mr.. Henry Pitre
resident of the fifth ward Of this pa.
rish, President of the Parish
School Board, thrifty and enterpri-
sing farmer and citizen. He had been
under the weather for some time, and
to those intimate with him it was sus-
pected, in fact known, that he had
heart trouble. His death was sudden,
and with little or no warning. He was
30 years of age, married, and is sur
vived his widow and several children.
Deceased was of quiet and retiring
disposition, given to attending to
his own affairs, but always interested
in anything affecting the public good.
He took an interest in local politics and
was filling his second term on the
school board. He succeeded to the pre-
sidency of the board, on the election of
DR.. Stark to the office of sheriff, and
had recently been reelected for
term of six years from his ward, with
out opposition.
The flags on the court house and all
schools were at half mast until after
the funeral.
Being affiliated with the st Philome-
ma Catholic Church at Labadieville,
living near that church, his funeral
was held there Saturday, with inter-
ment in the cemetery adjoining. Des-
pite the inclement weather there were
good number at the funeral. The
family have the sympathy of their ma
ny friends. Deceased was always a
friend of this paper, frequent caller,
and one of our earliest subscribers. We
had occasion to know him pretty well, |
getting his ideas on different matters,
as they developed.
The vacancy in the school board caus
ed by the death of Mr.. HeAry Pitre, |
from the fifth ward, will be /
filed by appointment. Governor Park
er will fill the vacancy, we assume, as
soon as recommendations are made
him, the names of Mr.. Ernest Roger

ment necessarily will be made on the
