The labor cost of covering one acre
of course varies with the scale of
wages and the energy of the laborer
About one acre per hour is about
as fast as one of these guns can be
operated. However it is not possible
to maintain this rate in continuous
operation as the guns are so very la
porous to operate that from two to
three hours is as long as one man can
operate one. Another disadvantage
of these guns is the difficulty of OPP
Grating them at night, when it is
possible to do the, most effective
work. 1t is probable that the future
use of these machines will be for use
on rough land where the larger types
of machines cannot operate.
The cart type of buster, costing
from $500 to 100000 will take care
of an acreage of from so to 1875 acres
a season, depending on the machine.
A good buster should last longer
than one season if given the proper
care, SO that the per acre cost of the
machine is less than half of that of
the hand guns. The labor cost is
also much less as one man and a
teamScan cover 5 to 80 acres night.
A new type of machine which is
now on the market is built so as to
rest on saddle, and is so built
that the operator can crank the ma
chine with both hands while sitting
in the saddle. Such machines cost
about $55. This type of machine ap-
pears to be especially valuable on
rough land, which is not suited to the
cart type.
The large power machines, cost
ing $500 or more are suitable for
large plantations only as they will
take care of as much as 500 acres per
season and should last several sea-
sons. Their cost per acre, theoret-
ically, is even lower than that of
the cart type of buster. The trouble
with this type of machine is their
heavy weight which makes it difficult
to operate on wet ground. Also, the
machines are more complicated than
the other types and loss of time due
to mechanical difficulties are apt to
be large under the usual farm con-
ditions. AS these machines are large
they are suitable only for smooth

tC0ST OF POISONING
THE BOIL WEEVIL

The Georgia Experiment Station
has had number of inquiries of late
as to the cost of busting cotton with
calcium arsenate. AS with other farm
operations, however, this is an in.
dividual problem and will differ rad
ically according to the skill with
which the work is carried on and with
the seasons. The best that the Elk.
pertinent Station can do for the far.
mers interested is to give them Ger.
tain facts and figures that will enable
them to form some idea of the prob
able cost.
To apply the calcium arsenate to
the cotton some form of busting ma
chine is necessary. These vary from
small hand guns, costing about SIS
to large power machines, costing
about $500. The size of the ma
chine which farmer should buy will
depend largely upon the acreage he
has to dust. AS a general rule the
larger machines will dust at a much
lower cost per acre provided it is
used to its full capacity.
The hand guns now on the market
will cover from to Is acres a sea
son. AS these guns cost from SIP to
$40 each, and will last only about one
season the per acre cost of these
machines per season is about $3.50.

FIGHT INSECT ENEMIES IF
YOU WOULD HAVE A GARDEN

Gardners are warned by specialists
OF the United States Department of
agriculture to prepare to combat the
little enemies of the garden In
sects of various kinds are making
their appearance in vast numbers in
gardens in all parts of the country
II left undistrubed will defeat the
gardeners best efforts and lay waste
the vegetable crops. This is the omen
season for insects and there are no
laws which limit the number which
may be killed. The department spec
ialists urge the use of the spray pump
and busting bag for the frequent ap-
pllcatlon of poisons in order to de-
stroy the garden. Early efforts in
flghtlng insects are most effective.
Little Bugs with Big Appetites.
In most localities the Colorado or
"hard-shelP' potato beetles have emer-
ged from their winter hiding place
in the ground and are industriously
depositing clusters of yellowish eggs
on the underside of the potato leaves.
In few days these hatch into little
red soft-shelled slugs or "soft-shells"
as they are often called, that have
most wonderful appetites, and unless
poisOns are applied they will soon
strip the potato plants Of their leaves.
Other insects that have Iwintered
over are also coming out and plan
ming their campaign of destruction.
Perhaps there is no class of garden
insects the methods of attack of which
is so insidious as that of the plant
lice or aphids. Last fall, when there
were literally thousands of these plant
lice on late crops, the ants, in looking
about for something choice for their
winter larder, carried a number of
these little aphids into their homes
and kept them there for the sacchar-
inc excretion from their bodies. For
this reason the plant lice have been
called the ants cows. Evidently the
milk flow becomes pretty low to-
ward early summer, for the ants, in
doing their regular spring house clean
ing, carry out the remaining plant
lice and so start a new brood to
prey upon plants during the summer.

coat of the spray or they will not be
killed, and immediate inspection af-
ter spraying should show the foliage
occupied by the insects to be com
pletely wet.
Spraying should be done as early
as possible, always on the first APP
pearance of the insect, not only be-
cause it is from pests but because
more thorough good practice to keep
the plants free work can be done on
small plants"
Hordes of other insects will be on
hand to take the pleasure and profit
out of the work of the home gardener
unless never-ending light is waged
to check their progress. The main
point is to start the fight in time and
kill the advance scouts and head off
the main army of insect pests.

level ground 1t is usually necessary.
therefore, to supplement them with
hand guns or some other smaller tyne
of machine.
The calcium afsenate costs about
15c per pound. The amount used
win depend upon the skill of the or
orator and the season. When porp-
erly applied five pounds per acre
is enough for one application, but in
unskilled hands it is best to allow
seven. The number of applications
will depend on the season, varying
from one to six. Sometimes it Is
necessary to dust only part of a
field. A rough estimate of calcium
arsenate necessary per acre would
be about 20 pounds.

Syrup Mixture Does not Attract
Weevils.
DR.. B. R.. Coad, of the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, has been
conducting experiments with boil wee
vii poisons at Tallulah, La, for six
years, has tried everI thing that
he could think of and that other peo-
pie have suggested, and that he has
found that boil weevils are not at
tracted by sweets. This being the case
the weevils will not be attracted by
the syrup mixture, but will drink the
dew anywhere they happen to be.
This would make it secessary to COW
er the whole plant, which can be
done much cheaper and more eff
cient by the dust method.

At first very few plant lice may
be found hidden on the underside of
the leaves of melons, peas, cabbage,
and other vegetables. A little later
the leaves begin to curl up and to
lose their color, and an examination
will show that the ''Iice' which the
ants carried out have become grand
mothers, and the underside of the
leaves will be literally alivs with
them, teasting on the juices of the
plants. At this stage something must
be done quickly, for within few
days there will be another generation
or brood at work.
Arsenate of lead and Paris Green
have no effect upon this army of plant
blood suckers, and it is necessary to
use contact poisons. A preparation
must be used that will not iniure the
plants but which will kill the lice.
The most common of these contact
polsons is nicotine sulphate--a to-
bacco extract-made of tobacco re-
fuse from factories. This is a poison
and, to be effective in killing the
lice without injuring the plants, must
be used exactly according to the di-
rections given on the container. Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
Farmers Bulletin $50, on the con-
troll of garden diseases and insects,
has the following to say regarding
the use of nicotine sulphate:
For small garden plants / tea
spoonful of nicotine sulphate should
be used to gallon of water, to which
a 1-inch cube of hard soap should be
added and thoroughly mixed. If a
larger quantity is desired, use fluid
ounce to gallons of water, with the
addition of one-half pound of soap.

FINES SOUGHT TO CHECK
EXCESS IN IlMICRAT TON

I chance on a hundred immigrants rather
than lose the business.
I'm the case of the Hungarians aboard
the AquitanIa we announced on Decern-
ber that the quota was complete. The
Aquitania took the Hungarians aboard
December a. so there was no excuse.
Even If they had received no explicit
information between the 1st and 4th or
the month their American agents know
that the end of the Hungarian quota
was IN sight and they had no business
taking en- $500 immigrants.'
A pathetic appeal to allow a dozen
orphans now held at Ellis Island to land
Is contained in kilograms received to-
day by the Department OF Justice and
Chairman johnson OF the House Immi-
grafton Committee.
The kilograms were turned over to
immigration officials. but indications are
the orphans will be deported. as the
countries from whence they came have
already exceeded their quotas.
The telegram containing the plight OF
the orphans was read by Chairman
Johnson at o meeting to-day OF the
House committee, which had under con-
sideration an amendment to the present
immigration law restricting the number
of immigrants to be permitted to enter
this country in one year to per cent. oil
the number OF that nationality here ac-
cording to the 1910 census.
+. A. S. Franklin, president of the In
ternatfonaI Mercantile Marine, appeared
before the committee and said that the
5teamship companies are ready and
willing to cooperate at all times with
the Federal authorities in carrying on,
the provisions Of the immigration laws.

panies have been careless, to say the
least. and have taken decided chances
In bringing in some OF the, immigrants.
Therefore we have decided TO refer the
matter TO the Department OF Justice

Mr.. Husband said that while IL is inn

Some OF these are quota cases and others
