HAS BOIL WEEVL
REMEDY ARRIVED ?
REPORTS FROM OVER STATE
SHOW SUCCESS WITH MO-
LASSES AND ARSENATE.

Has a knockout for the boil weeviI
been found? That question is arousing
interest from one end OF the state TO
the other Many believe that remedy
has been found to successfully solve
the boil weevil problem, and at pres
ent the farmers and business men OF
Georgia are more hopeful than they
have ever been since the dreaded cot
ton pest made its appearance.
The treatment that is said to knock
the boil weevil silly IS mixture OF
calcium arsenate, molasses or syrup
and water. The prescribed formula is
two pounds OF calcium arsenate, two
gallons of molasses or syrup and a
quart (or if too thick halt gallon OF
hot water. This mixture IS applied to
the buds of the cotton by means OF
mop.
Following the application, in a few
hours dead weevils are found under
the cotton. it is declared. Boil weevils,
like flies. it is claimed, are attracted
bv the taste OF the syrup and eat the
mixture readily. This mixture has the
advantage over the powdered calcium
arsenate in that it does not come off
so quickly, and can be applied any
time Of the day. Neither will the mix
ture be washed off by the rain to the
extent that the powdered poison is.
This new treatment is being tried
in all parts of the state. In South
Georgia the farmers have met with
remarkable success and feel that they
have the boil weevil problem solved.
Exchanges received from different
localities in the state tell OF the use

Storm Did Comparatively
Little Damage in Terrell
Most of Reports Were Unfounded
Crops Not Hurt Much.

Exaggerated reports of h avo c
wrought by wind and hail in different
parts of the county were current the
past week. The News has interview
ed reliable citizens in each OF the sec
tons reported to be devastated and is
pleased to announce that there was
no loss of life and nobody hurt. Some
damage resulted from wind and hail in
the lower part of the county on the
farms of c. E. Lockett, NJ. D. LANG,
Rufus Mimms, Roger and Arthur
Laing and others in that section. An
unoccupied house was blown down on
the farm of Mr. Melton LANG where
the storm was rather severe, but he is
of the opinion that no serious damage
was done to the crops in his neigh
borhood. The Cottondale community
was pretty hard hit but it thought the
crops will soon outgrow the haying
which left them looking pretty sick,
Considerable damage is reported on
the farm Of Jake Hitler in the north
ern part of the county. Rains have been
general throughout the county and
have been a wonderful boost to vege-
tation and in all probability Terrell
county will come up as usual with
bumper crops A ride in any direction
out from Dawson will give one feel
ing of optimism over the outlook for
an abundant harvest and prosperous
fall.

MILLION DOLLAR CREW"
DEPARTS FOR MEN
Ed GUrr, Former Dawson Boy, Is
One of Number Aboard.

OF considerable local interest is the
following from the Savannah Morning
News, as Ed Gurr, a former Dawson
boy, is one Of the Million Dollar
Crew: We'll, the Million Dollar
Crew. as they call the crowd OF boys
who signed up for passage on the big
10000-ton boat of the United States
shipping board, got off today for Bre-
men, They have been at work for the
past week as wipers and oilers and all
kinds OF 'greasers, and the captain
says that in spite OF the style of their
work aboard and below, the style OF
their callers. can't be beat. The dock
has been lined with Cadillacs and
Packards and other smart cars which
brought friends down during the week
to see the boys quarters, SO he has
dubbed them his Million Dollar
Crew."
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1921-07-05

Without exception the reports state
that success has attended the efforts
of farmers using this preparation.
1t is claimed that two pounds OF
calcium arsenate, two gallons OF syrup
or mo1asses and quart or (halt gal
ilon) OF water is sufficient to cover
three acres of cotton. The mixture, at
the present stage OF the crop, can be
applied at a cost OF thirty cents per
acre.
With this mixture in bucket and
mop, which can be made by tying a
cloth around the end of a stick, good
time can be made in treating the cot
ton. One or two rows can be taken at
the time. Applications can be made
once or twice during the week or as
often as found necessary. So far as
reported, the mixture does not damage
the cotton.
