BOIL WEEV|L POISONING PROVES FlLuBE
At MISSISSIPPI EIPERlnEi 5)|lIIIlpA

In 1920 the Mississippi Expert
ment Station carried on boil vice.
vii poisoning tests with four diff
ferent fields of cotton, on the Col
lege Farm, ranging from 8 Ia
to 8 acres in size. In addition to
this poison was used on twenty
one multiplying patches and small
cuts of cotton planted for various
other experiments. The purpose
of this work was to try out eff
cheney of calcium arsenate pow
dersas q boil weevil poison and to
get some data on the practicable
ity of it's use on cotton i'm the>hill
part of the state. :
TEST /.
Test 1 was made with 8 1-2
acres of cotton growing on red
clay hill land of rather low fertil-
ity. No other cotton was in close
proximity. Boil weevils appear
ed during June but multiplied
slowly. On July IL the infesta-
tion was only a fraction over one
per cent. Following this they
multiplied somewhat more rapidly
reaching IA per cent July &c. On
July 20, 60 pounds of poison per
acre was applied with a cart type
cotton dusting machine to one-half
the cut The poison was applied
while heavy dew covered the
plants. Following this, four 9TH
er similar applications were made
at intervals of week or less,
Weevil infestation increased jill

Test / l I was made on d 3-4

pounds poison per acre was ap-
piled to one-half the cut on Au-

Don't forget to include a plat Of

Use as confection, popcorn possesses
much food value.
On many farms where it is not de-

garden for home use. This usually In
terests the children and 1t is we'll to

Almost any variety of popcorn will
give satisfactory results If properly
handled and, by judicious seed selec-

Plant Popcorn Early.
Popcorn should be planted early so
1t will have long season in which to
mature. The planting may be done as
soon as the soil Is dry enough to cult
vate. or when the oak trees begin to
show their new leaves.
A warm, well-drained location, free
from marshy conditions, should be Sc
lected. The soil should be plowed or
spaded to n depth of eight inches or
more and the surface Of the plat thor
Oughly pulverized before planting. The
rows should be about three feet apart.
A small furrow two or three inches
deep Is sufficient. The kernels should
be dropped eight or ten inches apart in

POULTRY NOTES

Get the chicks out-of-doors as soor

AS a rule ducks are easier to brood
artificially than are chickens.
You cannot get good egg yields
from your hens unless you give the
young chicks good care.
The Campine Is a breed Of Euro
pean origin that is now having a wave
of popularity in this country.
II tankage is good and wholesome,
the chickens like it and do well with
it as an addition to the ration.
The egg is largely composed Of wa
ter, therefore. the hen should have an
abundance of water, fresh and clean.
Hawks never trouble ducks and the
old mother duck will fight all intrud.
ers, such as cats, dogs and chickens.
Most of the trouble with lice on
small chicks can be eliminated by do
ing away with the hens for brooding
purposes.
II you keep ducks, make them COM
Portable by giving them dry sleeping
quarters, and plenty Of water; also by
giving them shade.

Prayed for Cure
Finds it After 10 Years
Food Would Sour and Boil
Teeth Like Chalk

Mr. Herbert NJ. Gessner writes from his
home in Berlin, N. H.:
I had stomach trouble over ten years;
kept getting worse. 1 tried everything for
relief but it came back worse than ever.
Last fall got awfully bad; could only eat
light loaf bread and tea. In January got
90 bad that what would eat would sour
and boil; my teeth would be like chalk.
1 suffered terribly. prayed every day for
something to cure me. One day I read
about EATONIC and told my wife to get
me box at the drug store as was going
to work at 4 p. m. took one-third of it
and began to feel relief; when it was
three-fourths gone, felt fine and when it
was used up had no pains. Wife got me
another box but have felt the pain but
twice. l used five tablets out of the new
box and have no more stomach trouble.
Now 1 write to tell you how thankful I
am that heard of EATONIC. I feel like

of water, and it never hurts me at all.
