BY u. K. COAD


During the past few weeks there
has been considerable interest in GER
tain portions Of the cotton belt rela.
tive TO the possibility of poisoning the
cotton boil weevil by using a mixture
of molasses, calcium arsenate and
water Numerous inquiries have been
received concerning the efficacy Of
such mixture and so many reports
were noted of excellent results being
secured in field use that it was deemed
desirable TO give the question rather
serious consideration. No experiments
had been conducted by the department
Of agriculture with this particular mix
:ure but years ago numerous tests
were conducted TO determine the pos
sibiity of attracting weevils with a
large number of sweets including mo-
lasses and the results were generally
negative, although there were few
instances of a very slight degree of at
traction being shown. In view of
these results it had seemed useless
10 conduct any further tests along
this line until the present interest de-
veloped.
The first series of tests consisted
of cage studies comparing the weevil
mortality on plants treated with the
molasses mixture. plain busted calcium
arsenate and also imprisoned check
plants. Various concentrations and
amounts of molasses mixture were tes.
ted and the entire series was repeated
five times. In all total of sc different
cage tests, involving the use Of about
1900 weevils, were included in these
series. The first test conducted show.
ed the average mortality produced
by the molasses mixture to be exactly
the same as the busted calcium arsen-
ate. The second showed the busted cal
ciu INTO be superior, while the third
series indicated about an equal super
| iority OF the molasses mixture. The
fourth test was slightly in favor of
the busted calcium arsenate while the
| fifth showed the two operations to
have, about an equal degree of toxicity.
The average Of the entire series show
| ed the mortality in all cages treated
with busted calcium arsenate to be
exactly the same as that in the cages
treated with the molasses mixture.
Tests of different amounts of the
molasses mixture and also variations
in the distribution over the plant
showed practically no relation between
these variants and the resultant NOR
tality. In other words. the weevil NOR.
tality was practically as great in the
cage receiving the lightest dosage as
! in those receiving the heaviest.
The next series OF tests were con-
Quoted on more nearly a field basis
For the purpose Of these tests five
rows of cotton were treated with the
molasses mixtures, the next five with
\ busted calcium arsenate and the next
! five left untreated as a check. These
three conditions We're repeated three
times in each experiment, thus max
ing n total of 10 rows receiving each
| type of treatment in each test. The
entire test was repeated four times
under different field conditions After
the treatment these. rows were exam
ined carefully once a day for three
days and the number of live weevils

OKLAHOMA GENEROUS
WITH POPPY SALE

Oklahoma City. July "a total Of
$ll,534.s1 was given by the citizens of
Oklahoma for the relief of the war or

last May in the Memorial Day poppy
sale conducted by posts of the Amer

Announcement of the total was
made today by Earle NJ. Simon, de.

fund, and Mrs. w. J. Pettee of this
city, wko acted as chairman Of the
state committee and gave her entire

work.
More poppies we're sold in Tulsa than
in any other city in the state. The
Tulsa committee turned in $3,063.29

THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF

81 would like to see the tariff sep.
arated from politics in this country"
said Henry Clay, 80 that the bust.
ness men of the country can go 10
stability of our laws without stalking
everything ON the issue Of elections
as it were on the hazards OF the
die"
The condition which Clay complain.
ed of almost century ago is still in
need of a remedy. Whether we favor
"a protective tariff or not depends
more upon our personal business in
terests than anything else. Few Of
thing that is detrimental TO our fl
nancial welfare.
At the same time, Clay and his
colleagues as well as his opponents
recognized the wisdom of two polit-
ical parties standing for different
principles and doctrines. 1t is a hui
man weakness to look TO our own in
terests first. at least, if not last and
always. When one party grows ar
rogant in power the people see fit
to have a change. That's the history
of republics.
1t might be that to separate the
tariff from politics would be possible
only by favoring one party's doctrines
above the others.
Whether this would be the result
or not, we cannot but see, and that

THE EFFICACY OF POISONED MOLASSES MIXTURE
FOR THE CONTROL OF THE COTTON BOIL WEEVIL

found on each row was carefully
noted. The first series showed a very
definite control reaction for the mo
asses mixture and indicated that
much benefit had been derived from
the application. OF the remaining
more mortality in the rows treated
with calcium arsenate than in those
treated with the molasses mixture.
In the four series as a whole there
is no striking difference between the
different treatments.
To secure still further check
from this subject a series of field
plat tests were started. uniform cuts
being surveyed, divided in half and
one half treated with busted calcium
lrsenate while the other was treated
with the molasses mixture. These
suits to date are of interest. The
central 10 rows in each plat have been
examined daily and the number OF
live weevils found on them carefully
noted. as well as the percentage OF
squares punctured. TO date we have
found no definite difference in the
square infestation and the record OF
live weevils collected shows almost
three times as many found on the
plats treated with molasses as on
those treated with busted calcium ar
senate.
Considering those records as
whole it is seen that the molasses
mixture does exercise a certain de-
gree OF control over the boil weevil
but that this is generally less than
that secured with plain busted cal
cium arsenate. Under certain condi'
tons il was found that much bet
ter degree Of control was secured from
the molasses mixture than with the
calcium arsenate, but this result was
noted only in the case Of very small
cotton plants averaging only n few
inches in height, and also only during
exceedingly dry weather. The latter
fact was particularly noticeable and
is probably the keynote of the varia
ton in results. II seems quite prob
able that during exceedingly dry
weather the weevils visit the drop
lets of molasses-water mixture fol
the purpose of securing moisture bu,
do not follow this practice to as
marked a degree during normal wea'
ther. In other words, the results sc
far Indicate that busted calcium arse
nate is superior to the molasses mix
ture except during exceedingly dry
weather and on very small plants. Al
the present time the growth OF the
cotton plants has apparently reached
the point where the molasses mixture
does not give any marked degree ol
control. Our fairly large scale appli
cations on an acreage basis showed
that it takes at least one hour and
half to treat one acre Of small cot
ton with the molasses mixture ant
this would make the labor cost o.
the application somewhat greater thar
that involved in applying the plaiT
dust. In view of such results there
seems to be little reason for using th'
molasses mixture in preference tt
plain calcium arsenate at any tm'
and 1t certainly should not be uset
on the cotton plants after they reacf
the squaring stage.

A GOLDEN RULE WORK SHOP

There was a mems Bible Class in Sunday School
where men Of enthusiasm and influence had worked
up large attendance. A man in that community
who as bow had been inclined to be religious but
who had been buffeted about by atheism until he
found no peace at church and i'll reading the Scrip

However. still struggling to find an anchor in
Christianity seeking peace in religious thought he
was induced to go this class. is religion practi-
cable. and can it be applied in business" was a
question asked OF the class. In other words, does
religion have place in the office in the work
room? This question was answered by man who
had the reputation OF being pillar in this particular
church The reply in substance that religion
cannot be applied in business, that it is for women
and children but not for who do things
The visitor to the class listened 10 this answer.
The words burned into his heart they were pondered
over and over. The religion taught here is Sun
day religion it is make believe, il is not for use
in business it is too superficial to reconstruct a
life, it does not meet practical every y-day needs, it
is anchor in time OF storm, it is for the weak
minded, it is not for the inspired with desire for

that crowded upon his mind and that was his last
search for satisfying, practical religion in that
