Is Sweeteped Poison Profitable?

Clemson College, June 2S.-The use
of sweetened poison for the boil wee
vii is nothing new, but is nearly a
quarter of a century old, says Prof.
A. F. Conrad, chief entomologlst, IN
regard to the current discussions as
to poisons. AS far back as 1898,
poisoned sweets were employed early
in the season applied by means of a
stick, few drops on each cotton
plant. The only difference between
the concoctions of those days and the
formula recommended at this TIME is
in the particular materials used. Then
the principal formula consisted Of mo-
lasses and paris green, Or molasseS
and white arsenic. One formula which
attracted particular attention, proc
ably because of its very complicated
nature was made of molasses, paris
green, white arsenic, and arsenic OF
lead. All of these poisons have arsen-
ic as the active ingredient, and no
one has ever been able to see Wy all
this array of compounds.
AS the early application of sweet
ened poison killed certain percent
age of weevils, it appealed to many
farmers in each state when ever the
boil weevil appeared. Each .ear as
new territory has been invaded oy the
boil weevil and new groups Of formers
have become panicky, they have been
inclined to nibble at the bait en- al
most any hook that is thrown out to
them, but so %:ar as sweets are con-
cerned there is no evidence that boil
weevils have been attracted by them.
So in the course of "a years sweeten-
ed poison has not gained much recog-
aition though the weevil has invaded
eleven states. In fact sweetaned poi
son has seldom paid the expenses of
treatment and it has therefore been
generally abandoned.
Instead of any Of the special poisons
now advocated by some, the use of
calcium arsenate is stronly recon-
mended, says PROF.. Conradi, although
calcium arsenate hcs no greater ar
senic content than paris green and
white arsenic of the earlier day. Poi
soning in the heavily infested, high
yielding land will be of very great
help in producing a cotton crop pro-
vided the poisoning is done properly,
but regardless of the amount of poi
soning one intends to do, it is urged
that every farmer stand by his crop
and give it better attention than ever
before. Poisoning can never be de-
pended upon to secure a cotton crop,
unless the cotton is on good land and
under system of good farm manage
ment.

DODGE BROTHERS BUILDING
BIG ADDITION TO FACTORY

Substantial evidence Of Dodge
Brothers confidence in the future is
to be found in their expenditure of
between $6,0O0,00O and $s,0o0,000
for the expansion of their, factory.
The present building program is the
largest in their history, and will bring
the total floor space Of the plant up to
more than 100 square acres. In 1914,
when production Of Dodge Brothers
motor cars began, the total floor space
was about square acres.
The principal unit of the construc-
ton program now in progress is the
new press steel building, with a floor
area of 100000 square feet. The new
construction building, which has just
been completed, is eight stories high
and has floor area Of 1903 square

COOPERATIVE SPIRIT
HAS BEEN MANIFESTED
Much More Work Required in
Order to Insure New
Birchmont Hotel

Continued progress is reported
on the Birchmont hotel fund to-
day. The. soliciting committee.
again met at the association
rooms for luncheon and made
their reports. A total subscrip-
ton Of $29, 500 was reported.
A number from whom it is ex-
pected to get \ substantial SUBJ
scription have been out of town
and their subscriptions are not
included. Some teams have only
started, having been unable to
start out yesterday.
Altogether, there has been
manifested a splendid spirit of
cooperation. People generally
are looking upon the project as
an opportunity to practit ally
demonstrate their confidence in,
and appreciation Ct, the value of
the hotel to the city, not only d.
rectly as a stimulus to business,
but indirectly as a means Of
keeping the city before the pub
lie.
While it was hoped that def
mite announcement might be
made today to the effect that the
hotel was assured, it has been
found that more work is yet to
be done before this announce
ment can be made. A number
are giving the matter reflection
before signing up and it will be
absolutely necessary that they
come in with their subscriptions
at once.if the job is to be success
fully completed.
