LATEST POINTERS GIVEN
FOR BOIL WEEVIL CONTROL

found on the ground near the cotton
plants treated.
1t is claimed that the above mix
ture is sufficient to cover three
aces of cotton, and the stipulated
cost is thirty cents an acre at this
stage of the crop. Careful watch
should be kept and If the weevils ap-
pear again the same application can
be made. The mixture sticks to the
cotton plant and is not swept away
by the wind or light rains like the
powder alone, as was tried by quite
a number of farmers last year. If it
is found that the mixture is too thick
it can be thinned by the addition of
more water. 1t is not necessary to
apply much to each stalk. as the
least particle of the poison will kill
the insect as soon as It comes in
COnLdCG Will IL. ''.
Some of the farmes in Jefferson
and Burke counties tried this ex-
pertinent last year and they report
ed fine success. This year it is being
more generally used, and it is be-
lieved that good crop can be made
if all will use the poison according
to the above formula.
In some instances arsenic is be-
ing used, but it is more expensive
than calcium arsenate. Being q
much stronger poison, one pound is
sufficient to. be mixed with two gal
Ions of syrup or molasses and one
quart Of water.

LAST CALL FOR SPUDS

Clemson College, July 14.-Fall
Irish potatoes should be planted
usually not later than the middle of
July, says Prof. C. C. Newman, chief
of the division of horticulture in
calling attention again to this i'm
portant garden and truck crop.
The difficulty in growing this Sec
ond crop is in securing a--perfect
stand, but since the Introduction of
the Lookout Mountain variety there
Is little or no trouble in this respect,
provided the land is well prepared
and the tuibers properly planted.
is,Rall POTATOES should ibe planted
and cultivated exactly as the spring
crop. A cool moist soil that is well
drained is best. Potatoes may follow
any spring crop that is harvested
during June and early July. The
land should be broken 6 to 8 inches
double disced, and rows laid off
With a shovel, ,plow feet apart. The
tabers should be. covered 4 to S
inches. -:
A good fertilizer for the Piedmont
region is 800 to: 1000 pounds per
acre Of an S-4-2; in sections where
the soil is more or less sandy 1000
to LOO pounds of an s-4-5. The
fertilizer should be thoroughly mix
ed before the tubers are dropped.
The tubers should be covered with
swo burrows and just before the po-
txtees begin to break through it is
ven to run a spike-toothed harrow,
seross the rows to break the crust
snd kill the grass. Cultivation should
70 similar to that for cotton except
dat at the last cultivation the soil
sAould be thrown towards the plant
- that the tubers may be well cover
ed to prevent frost injury.

YOUNG WEEVlLS DEVELOP
WITH INCREASE OF RAIN
Best Method of Control is Fast Cui
tivation and Destruction of
Punctured Squares.
CFrom Ga. News Reporter.)

With the rains starting over the
county we may expect to see good
crop of young weevils by the middle
of July. The most important work
after the cotton begins to set squares
is to cultivate fast, plowing over ev-
cry week, and picking up every
square possible. While the cotton is
small, another application of calcium
arsenate should be used and if the
syrup method is preferred to the
busting, use it. The poison is what
does the work and from all reports
coming in, both methods seem to be
getting good results. A good fight
and good work will make some cot
ton, and after the good work and
expense the farmers have already
gone to, it is poor judgment to not
keep up the fight.
Calcium arsenate is the only real
remedy for killing the weevils, and
right now is the time to apply it, and
while the cotton is small the cheap
hand method of shaking it on the
cotton will pay well.
Picking the weevil is slow work
and the picking season is over, but
the picking and burning of squares
should be Kept up all summer.
Cotton will grow rapidly now and
every possible means should be used
to save the crop Of bolls, for the top
crop will certainly be at the mercy
of the big crop of weevils that will
hatch and grow during July.

Diseased Tubers

would like advice as to diseased
Irish potato tubers.-W. P. P. Eas-
ley.
The disease of the tubers is no
doubt due to potato scab, but I can
not be certain of this without first
examining the tubers. Potato scab
may be prevented by treating the
potatoes before they are planted and
by being sure that the ground on
which the potatoes are being grown
is not infested with the disease.

INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF LIFE
 IN BOTH LUNCHES AND TOWNS OF
 SPANISH HONDURAS GIVEN HERE

Something of conditions and life in the Republic of Spanish Honduras were described yesterday by N. & Johnson, civil engineer, who is visit ing here for a few weeks with his pa rents, MT. and Mrs H. B. Johnson. Johnson is in charge of the construc- tiOn of about 250 kilometers Ct rail read that is being built by the United Fruit company rom it's port at Rim con, on the Carribbean Sea, to Tegul- ciialpa, the capital of the country, In the interior.
 Johnson brought d number of inter- esting trophies with him, including the skin of boa constructor that is eight feet long. He said that the jungies of the country are filled with tropical game in great variety, and that every opportunity for hunting is oItered. In the .Jungles are found tigers, monkeys, oaboons, alligators, huge snakes and other animals. and a great variety of parrots, mackaws, aigrettes and other tropical birds. The tapir, a sort of wild pig about the size of cCw, is one oi the most danger ous animals in the jungles, charging and trampling under foot the unwary hunter by its great weight and strength In his hunting expeditions,
Bisbee daily review., 1921-08-12

Johnson has killed several tigers, and possesses their skins as trophies.
 large part of the country is yet virgin jungle, although the railroads are lined with valuable plantations, mostly of bananas. The United Fruit company traffics almost entirely in bananas, but cocoanuts, oranges, al- ligatOr pears and other tropical fruits are also grown. The company owns it's own banana plantations, and is re- quired to build a certain mileage of railroad each year to retain the con sessions. About three ships each week are loaded for New Orleans. two for New York, and one for Mo bile. Spanish Honduras does not ship to the west coast of the United States. The company is building one of the biggest docks in Central Amer ica at the port of Rincon.
 Valuable bold and other deposits of precious metals are known to exist in the country, but they have been practically undeveloped so far John son said that it has been predicted that the next gold rus: will be to the west coast of Spanish Honduras. Che dredging company is now preparing to operate in one of the rivers.
 The country is inhabited by three
Bisbee daily review., 1921-08-12

kinds Of people The real natives ar- Indians, but the Spaniards. who have retained much of their purity of blood are often referred to as the natives The Carabs are of pure negro stock from Africa, and talk the native Ian guage. How they got to Central Am erica is not known, but it is thought that they came from some of the is- lands in the Caribbean where they were brought originally as slaves.
 The country is in prosperous con- dition and offers many opportunities Johnson said. All of the labor on the farms and on construction work is done by natives. under the supervision of Americans. Laborers are paid about $50 a day, and although the scale seems comparatively low, the cost of living is much less than here.
 The government is a republic and appears to be general well admins tered. Foreign industries there are not interferred with by the govern ment and are not placed in snc r-c- carious position they are in Mexrco. The United Fruit company is the big operator in that section and largely controls that part of the tropics.

FIRST COPPER RANGE
 IS RECEIVED HERE;
 NOW ON EXHIBITION

An unusual but very practical use for copper is found in the display III window of the Phelps Dodge store of Round Oak" copper range, handsome cook stove with a solid copper lining and sheathing of 80 per cent copper and 20 per cent zinc which has been found to be the best combination Of copper to reduce the discoloration due to heat. The cop- per lining holds asbestos of one-half inch thickness against all the sides and bottom of the stove, reducing ra- diltion to a minimum, and resisting the rusting and burning out of the in side that is usual in the ordinary stove.
 The corners on the body of the range are round for ease in cleansing and to enable the factory to use con tinuous cOpperoid sheathing of 34 ounce material. The oven door has no spring, but is equipped with a coun terbalance that makes opening easy and closing secure. A patented type of feed door is large for convenience in feeding coal The reservoir is of solid copper. It is declared for the stove that on account of the system Of insulation less coal is needed, and that the use of copper makes the stove almost indestructible from wear.

NEW PASSPORT
 RULE PRAISED
Mexican Consul at Naco is Confident Regulations
 Will Better Border

A step in the right direction is the way Roberto NJ. Quiros, Mexican con- sul at Naco, Arizona, character1zes the latest passport regulations be- tween the United States and his coun- try. These regulations permit Of the free passage of residents of each country within 40-mile limit of the border. Such residents who take ad- vantage of the new regulations must be residents of "a strip not over 40 miles from the boundary line.
 The new regulations which have been put into effect by both the Unit ed States and Mexican immigration service have not became settled as yet. In Fl Paso, however, the off clalS are construIng the regulations liberally in every way and endeavor- ing to expedite intercourse between the two countries. Some identifica- tion, in the form of cards, letters or some other feature snorSd be handy in crossing the line.
 For an American citizen to cross the boundary line at Naco or Agua Prieta he, or she, should Ae supplied with some letter or card which will serve 10 Identify him or her as res ident Of the 40-mile zone. This might be asked for by the Mexican lmmi- grafton officials and, according to work received in Bisbee, will not be questioned.
 T feel quite certain" said Quiros, yesterday, that our immigration au- thorities intend to construe the latest regulations in a lheral manner Thev constitute a step in the direction of better understanding cetween the peo- pie of Mexico and the United States. The easier we make the avenues of communication between the two coun- tries, the more we increase the com merce. Easy communication between the two sides of the internationa. boundary will go long ways toward eliminating many sore spots that have existed in the past"

Camp Jones Cook
 Burned To Death
 Early Yesterday

James E. Sevanus, enlisted man with the 1st Cavalry at Camp Harry J. Jones, was burned to death early yesterday morning when a pan of grease upon stove where he was cooking breakfast flared up and en- veloped him in flames.
 Sevanus, a member of Troop D, was acting cook in the mess shack of Troop c, and at the time of his death was frying French toast. When the grease caught fire, enveloping him in flames and caught his clothing on fire, he made a desperate attempt to run from the kitchen and get help, but stumbled over a table and fell under it. Most of his clothing was burned off and the body badly burned.
 Sevanus' home was at Lancaster, Pa.
