Poison Boil Weeyil Advises
Specialist.

If you are going to poison the
boil weevil this year, read our
circular of March first carefully
and follow such instructions as
seem best adapted to your con-
ditions," says B. R. Coad, in
charge of boil weevil investigation
in the South.
"Don't bite off more than you
can chew. One hand gun will
seldom handle more than five to
eight acres of cotton each season
and a oart..dusting machine can
hardly handle over a hundred
acres.
Find by experience what
acreage you can cover in three
days with your busting equip.
ment and don't attempt any
more than this. If you cannot
cover the entire acreage, select
those portions where you have
your best cotton and greatest
weevil damage.
Remember that one acre of
cotton properly poisoned is vast.
ly more profitable than ten acres
improperly poisoned.
Do not expect tenants to do
satisfactory work without more
or less direct supervision. The
operation is too new to them to be
taken up without intelligent in.
struction and supervision.
Do not expect all weevils to
disappear from your field after
poisoning. Remember that the
cotton plants can stand consid-
cradle weevil.puucturing without
loss of crop and that the sole idea
Of poisoning is to keep the wee.
wis below the point Of danger.
Do not trust to guess work to
determine the results you are
scoring. Loave portions Of some
cuts imprisoned throughout the
season to serve IS check plats on
your poisoned area and to indicate
the effect you are deriving from
the poison.
Remember that you had crop
failures before the boil weevil
arrived and have also made good
crops in spite of the boil weevil,
Poisoning will not make cotton
but at best will only protect cot.
ton from boil weevil injury
Consequently, the size crop you
make is not a sure index to the
effect Of the poison unless you
have a check plat for compare

long enough to provide protection

Countess d'AIexandrowsky Is
StrikingIy Effective in
Ampico Recital.

When the Arthur Jordan Piano
Company presented the Countess Lu-
ba d'Alexandrowsky as one of it's
artists in the Chickering Ampico COM
parison recital at Wardman Park Inn
last Sunday evening. they made
known to Washington a young Rus
sian pianist OF striking attainments
and personality.
With the attractive environment of
this charming hotel apartment, which
is fast bringing into the heart OF
Washington that same aloofness from
it's hum and whirl that the Chicago
e,Bach Hotel offers to that city by the
lake, this recital took on an added
atmosphere of what music could be
as a part of the home, as well as q
part OF a few public concerts.
The Countess d'Alexandrowsky.
young, fair, and alive with the feel
ing OF her music. imediately caught
ones attention by the rhythmic charm
she put into the first of the "Papil-
Ions" excerpt of Schumann, the "Valse
lente." 1t was given with the grace
with which Pavlowa moves. These
twelve, inseparable parts, she made
at times capricious with exquisite
technical detail, or rugged with the
whimsical ruggedness Of her native
land. Rubato one felt as an instinct,
and poesy was there.

This all betokened temperament

Paderewski "Cracovienne Fantas-
tique," rhythmic, lovely in tone and
strong in type, with delicate retards
and q compelling waltz rhythm
Why is IL that these Russians feel the
/ AI-
ling manner than almost any other
artists, unless 1t be the viennese!
These two numbers were repeated
by the Ampico reproducing piano.
The interpretations were identical And
an added charms was in the response
to each subtle nuance that seemed
to proceed all unaware from the face
of the artist as she sat. listening, be-
side the piano from which her work
came unaided by herself.
This young Russian also played =
Brahms "Scherzo," and for encore .
delightful Brahms "valse Slav."
Miss Gertrude Hennemann was CO.
star with Countess d'Alexandrowsky,
playing the airy. capricious "Polichi-
nellie of Rachmanioff. and "En Ba-
teau" Of Debussy, which was repeat
ed BY the Ampico. She also gave q
