NEW FORMULA
FOR WEEVIL POISON
(Augusta Chronicle.)

Dublin, Ca, June 28.-A formula
for poison that will kill the boil
weeyil and keep a field clear Of the
pest until August, when the migra-
tory weevils are in action, is being
used this year by DR.. w. B. Taylor
of Dexter, Laurens County, who has
been growing cotton in Laurens for
the past three years in spite Of the
boil weevil. Last year he made 1Sa
bales on $50 acres, in spite of the
weevil, wet weather and other him
ORANGES.
Doctor Taylor lives about fourteen
miles from Dublin and has become
the recognized boil weevil expert of
the county. Saturday a friend in
Dublin asked him about the weevils
on his farm.
.eWhy the boil weevil is joke with
me- he replied. 'I laugh every time
7 think about him. I can rid any
field of boil weevils for Is cents per
acre, given just two successive days
Of sunshine.
He was asked for an explanation,
and when he replied that he had
worked out a formula for poisoning
the weevil, and was using it, was
asked for that formula.
Here it is, just as he gave it, and
it has the Endorsement of the county
demonstration agent of Laurens
County, ]. B. Tyre, who was present:
Take rnolasses, gallons; saccha-
rine, ounce; ice cream powder, 2
packages; calcium arsenate, 10
pounds; water, 8 gallons. Mix the
ice cream powder and the saccharine
both in a little water before. adding
to the other ingredients. When you
have it all mixed together we'll, be
sure it is kept agitated that the pois-
on does not settle to the bottom.
Make mop by taking a small stick
and tying a roll Of cheese cloth
around one end about two inches
wide. Get an old tin can, fill it with
the solution, keep it stirred, and walk
down the row and put few drops
of the solution on the under side of
the leaves near the bud of the plant.
Be sure the mixture is we'll stirred
while putting 1t on. Only small
amount is required for each plant,
and with the above amount of the
mixture scientifically applied it should
cover 20 acres. Some, however, apply
a little thicker than needed and it
may not cover more than ten acres.
A few drops to each plant is just as
effective as a gallon.
Only one application is needed, pro-
vided two sunshiny days follow. With
this solution in use, all the squares
picked up, ,the cotton plant pushed
Just as fast as possible, the farmer
should have a full crop Of cotton
made by august, when the migratory
weevils begin to swarm and when it
is useless to fight any longer. If, the
crop is made by that time however,
you are safe.
In explaining his formula, DR.. Tay-
lor made the following point. He has
found by the two years of special
experimental work that the weevils
are attracted by a sweet mixture, and
easily fall prey to poisoned sweets.
Syrup, calcium arsenate, and water
will Kill the weevils, but he adds the
saccharine to make the mixture
sweetec than ordinary syrup, and
more attractive to the weevil. The ice
cream powders are added to give the
mixture body" makes it foamy and
mucillagenous. therefore hard to
wash off by rain and sticking longer

found. however, that the vlewpoln
OF Americans in the Philippines, an'
Americans In the United States, on th'
subject Of independence. Is no, thu
same.
The attitude OF the American gov
ernment. and the great mass ot the
people OF the United States. is TO con
slider the Philippine question from the
unselfsh viewpoint of what Il hest
for the Filipino people Ninety.tive
per cent OF the opposition to indie
pendence emanates from American In.
vestors In the islands who are quite
naturally more Interested In the size
OF their dividends than the freedom OF
an alien people.
The unfortunate feature OF the sit
uatlon Is that the opponents OF Inde-
pendence, in order to convince the peo-
pie OF the United States that the FIN.
pinos should not be granted their In
dependence, find Il necessary to libel
an entire race To tell sensitive
Christian people that they shall not
have their promised independence be-
cause they are not tit for II will In
the end prove a mistaken policy. II
win only make their demand for In.
dependence the stronger.
At the present time. however, tho
masses of the Filipino people still
have absolute confidence in the good
faith Of America. Their loyalty and
gratitude TO Uncle Sam has not as
yet been impaired by the misrepre-
sentations OF the retentionIsts. Their
leaders are intelligent enough 20 dis
tingulsh between those Americans
who oppose their aspirations to In
dependence for purely selfish reasons,
and the great mass Of the American
people whom they know desire this
government to do by the Filiplnos
only that which is just and right.
In this connection. It is interesting
to review the development Of the pres
ent friendly relationship between the
and American peoples.

Southard Counsel
 Opposes Talesmen
 Picked By Sheriff

TWIN FALLS, Idaho, Sept. 29.- Forty additional talesmen are now being sought by Elisor w. G. Thomp- son for presentation in court tomor- row for the selection of a jury in the case of the state against Lydia M Southard, alleged poisoner of Edward F. Meyer, a former husband.
 The order for more talesmen arose out of a blanket challenge by the de- fense today when special venire of 40 men was brought into court by Sheriff Sherman. The challenge was on the ground that the sheriff was not a disinterested party in the case, that he had formed and expressed views of a fixed and unqualified character touching upon the guilt or innocence of the defendant and that as sheriff he had signed the original complaint upon which the woman was first ar raigned in probate court here. The challenge drew extended argument. largely technical, from both sides, but was allowed.
 The coroner of the county, who Is next in line for the duties of sheriff in the event of the disqualification of the regular officer. is a witness for the state in the case and therefore also disqualified from serving.
 Court will open tomorrow at 1:30 and the work of filling the jury box will be resumed. although it is pos sible that this task will not be com pleted until early in the week
