cotton in this connection had not begun; eX-
periments looking to the discovery of chem
icals that would lay the invader low had not
been launched; crop notation and kindred
safeguards now familiar had not been sug-
gested. Farmers stood bewiIdered and help
less while weevil horde upon horde crept
onward, bound for the fields of Georgia.
BY the time the enemy had reached the
southermost counties of this State much had
been learned regarding his habits and the
imperative need of diverSifying the crops of
territory which he had entered or was ap-
preaching Still, however, no direct method
of combating and destroying him had been
found. And at the time this was truly fortu-
nate; for enforced diversifcation, with it's
far-reaching and beneficent effects on every
phase of agricultural affairs, profited the state
a vast deal more than if a weevil cure had
been devised forthwith and the one-crop
tyranny continued unbroken. But now that
the lesson has been learned and world

Failure to procure the highest grade of the

this material is poisonous to men
and to work stock, handle it carefully
and keep it properly protected when
in storage. Animals should, of
course, be kept out of cotton fields
The use of calcium arsenate under
expert management has proven prac-
ticable and profitable in controlling
the boil weevil. Many people will
no doubt fail to secure satisfactory
results and will be disposed to place
the blame elsewhere than on them
situation will in nearly every in
stance show that the trouble has
been due to failure to carry out in
structions carefully and accurately.
In this connection, a word of warn
the highest grade of calcium arsenate
should be used. 1t should not con-
tain less than AZ per cent of ar
senate pentoXid and not more than
IS per cent of water soluble arsenic
The density should be from 80 to
100 cubic inches per pound. If the
material contains less than 40 per
cent of arsenic pentoXid, it is doubt
full if it will be sufficiently toxic to
effectively control the weevil. If it
contains more water soluble arsenic
than is indicated, the foliage will be
burned and the cotton plant injured.
Remember that as the quantity of
water soluble arsenic pentoxid in
creases, the greater the damage from
its use will be. This point cannot
be emphasized too strongly. Avoid
danger and damage to your crop by
safeguarding this point. 1t must be
in the form of a very finely divided,
dry powder to be applied success
fully.
There is much low-grade calcium
arsenate on the market. Its use is
to be avoided as it will prove waste

to the cotton crop. According to
reports furnished this institution by
the government laboratory at Tai

arsenate from Georgia have been
tested therein. Of this number, 124
satisfactory. This shows that there
is a tremendous amount of unrelia-
BILE calcium arsenate on the market
No doubt many of our farmers have
bought a good deal of this material
already. They, should have it tested
of the utmost Importance. We con-
slider it the duty as well as the
privilege of this institution to call
this mater to the attention of our
cotton growers. If the large guam
tity of low-grade material on the
market is used as extensively as now
seems probable, unsatisfactory re-
suits will follow and loss and dam
age will be the outcome instead of
profit and success. Reliable com
panies handling and distributing this
material will, I feel sure, be glad to
guarantee the quality of their prod
uct. Farmers should not buy from
firms that. will not do this as there
is too much at stake.
Samples of calcium arsenate will
be tested by DR.. B. r. Coad, in charge
of the government laboratory at Tai
lulah, La. He is the man who orig
mated the plan of poisoning the boil
weevil with calcium arsenate. The
information and advice he gives rel
alive to this subject, may, therefore,
be regarded as thoroughly reliable.
This institution has two cotton ex-
perts in it's employ; namely, Profess
sors r. R. Childs and F. c.. Ward.
They will be pleased to adYlse our
farmers free of cost relative to the
purchase and use of calcium ar
