TO test POISON
WEEVIL SPRAY
23-Acre Plot Selected
For New Liquid
Preparation

Mrs. Victoria Thompson, of Jack
sonvilie, Fla, who claims to have per-
fected a liquid spray which will de-
stroy the boil weevil, has arranged
to experiment with her product IN
Sumter county, and % acres belong
ing to Neill A. Ray on the Dixie high
way near Americas, has been selected
as a test plat.
A quantity Of specially designed
machinery, to be used in spraying
the cotton plants, has arrived, and
will be set up under direction of Mrs.
Thompson Tuesday. The first spray
ing will take place one day next
week, or as soon as the first larvae
of the hibernated weevils is Matched
out.
The spraying of the test plat will
be done under the eye of George o.
Marshall, who is observing the ex-
pertinent as a representative of Sum-
ter county's farming interests as well
well as representative of the federal
department of agriculture.
The test plat has already been
measured off and plainly marked, and
accurate records will be kept of the
production there as well as the cost
of spraying and cultivation, in order
to demonstrate the exact worth of
the spray, which it is proposed to
offer the public next year, should
its application prove practicable.
The poison contained in the spray
is a secret of Mrs. Thompson's, but
it is asserted the spray has base
of syrup or glucose, this giving it a
sticky quality which causes the pol
son to cling to the cotton plant dur
ing wet weather as well as during
sunny periods.
