AVOID MISTAKES IN
POISONING BOIL WEEvII
WeeviIs Can Be Poisoned With
Profit

The United States Department OF
Agriculture, through its boil weevil
experts, Profs. B. R. Coad and T. P
Cassidy have issued statement, q
part Of which is entitled Where II
Will Pay You to Poison" This part
Is as follows:
1t will pay to poison
II the weevils are really injuring
your crop seriously, and
II your land is sufficiently fertile
to yield at least one-half bale per acre
with weevil injury eliminated, and
II YOUR farming organization is such
that you feel assured that the poison
applications will be made at the right
time and in the right manner, and
II you are willing to spend the full
amount necessary to provide an ade.
ouate supply of busting machinery and
poison.
The general gains from weevil poi.
soning under average, fairly favorable
conditions seem to be from 200 to 400
mounds of seed cotton per acre, but,
owing to- variations in degree OF wee
vii injury it is not safe to expect much
more than the lower figure.
Consequently, you should not poi
son if the cost OF the calcium arse.
nate. the cost of labor to apply it,
and the depreciation on the busting
machines will total more per acre
than the current value of 100 pounds
of seed cotton.
Hand guns should be figured as de-
preciating 100 per cent in season and
the larger machines about Is per cent.
Do 1t Right Or Not At All
Many valuable lessons have been
gained from the recent expension of
commercial weevil poisoning. 1t has
again been shown that the boil vice.
vii CAM be poisoned with profit if con-
ditions are favorable and if proper
methods are used, but it has been en-
phasized anew that unfavorable condi-
lions and improper methods. can lead
only to failure. A survey of the poi
soning by farmers in 1920 shows that
an unfortunately large proportion were
not properly informed as to the condi-
tions under which they should poison
and the methods they should pursue.
AS a result there were many unneces-
sary failures.

side APPLICATION
OF FERTILIZERS
FERTILIZERS ARE CHEAP
AGAIN.
Practice of Side Application Will
Be Extensively Followed
This Year.

Atlanta, Ca, April-Reports receiv-
ed from fertilizer companies indicate
that the Southern farmer fell good
deal short Of using as much fertilizers
at planting time this year as usual. Sew
eral reasons are assigned. One is that
the farmers waited for the price of
fertilizers to fall with the expectation
of using them in greater quantities
than the usual amount as side applica-
lions to the growing crops.
1t seems that the practice of side ap-
plication of fertilizers is quite common
ly followed by successful Southern
farmers. In fact, the Williamson meth
cd of growing corn that is popular in
the coastal plains region of the South,
provides that no fertilizer be applied
except as side applications to the corn
crop.
On the question Of side apple: lions
of fertilizers, j. N. Harper, director OF
the Soil Improvement Committee and
recognized authority on agricultural
methods of the South, says, that there
are more than the usual advantages
this year in favor Of side applications
The reason is apparently favorable r.
giving good response to fertilizers
A word of caution is, however, sound
ed by Mr. Harper He says that the
side applications should be made early.
Late applications to cotton will only
prolong the growth Of the plant and
favor the boil weevil. He says that
1t will be better to make both the side
applications of complete fertilizers and
the nitrogen top dressing within six
weeks after planting, where the boil
weevil is present
For corn, he states that side applica-
to'get the best results. On clay loan
or heavy soils he advises a side appli
cation and nitrogen dressing when the
corn is from knee to waist high. For
sandy or light soils, he says that side
applications can be made later, that is,
when the corn is waist to shoulder
high. but before it begins to bunch to
tassel.
Mr.. Harper says that care must be
taken. to use only readily available
forms of fertilizer so that the growing
plants can utilize them in promoting
rapid growth and development of fruit.
The fertilizer should contain phos-
phoric acid in the form Of acid phos-
phate This is the main element for
Fastening maturity. The fertilizer
should also contain nitrogen and potash
in the readily available form. Nitrogen
promotes the growth of the stalk and
leaves and potash strengthens the plant
and helps fill out the fruit.
A top dressing of sulfate Of ammonia
or nitrate of soda is quite commonly
made, and, according to Mr.. Harper, it
should follow closely after the second
application Of fertilizer, and within the
periods of cotton and corn growth
which he mentions above.

FARM BUREAU.

likely to succeed with the counsel,
leadership and guidance of a good
county agent, and county having
a good live active farm bureau Will be
ia position to greatly multiply the
benefits to be derived from the Work
Of a county agent.
Something Real, Tangible Wanted.
In conclusion there are a few main
points that should be considered be
fore attemptinga farm bureau organi-
cation. First, it will accomplish moth
ing unless it is established on a strict
ly business basis and is going to have
the persistent and unselfish moral
and material support Of its member
ship. Farmers, since the establish
ment of our republic have been meet
ing, organizing, resoluting on various
subjects. Seem good has been ac-
complished, but it has been impossible
to get permanent and adequately
financed organization. We, as farm
ers, are too much inclined to want
to get something for nothing through
our organizations. We are unable to
carry through the big and laudable
projects undertaken, faith was de-
stroyed, and most of our organizations
have died the lingering death of
starvation. There is no way to get
results through any form of organiza-
tion without putting something real
and tangible into it. The plan that is
being followed throughout teh nation
is to adopt an admission fee of from
FIVE to ten dollars, which admits to
full membership the man, his wife
and minor children. The usual fee is
ten dollars. This is to constitute the
capital stock of the organization. 1t
is under the control of the board of
directors and it is not intended to be
spent, but to be held ~ revolving
fund, to give solvency and business
rating with the business world And,
furthermore, it will insure the per-
manent interest of the membership,
as a man will stand by an organiza-
toin when he has an investment in it,
when he will lose interest when it has
cost him nothing. If possible, the
spending of this capital stock should
be avoided. Incidental expenditures
should be taken care OF. by other
means. For instance, when the bu-
reau, through its commodity o<ganiza-
tions makes sale of products, the
bureau should be behind the deal,
but a small per cent of the proceeds
Of these sales should be set aside to
take care of Incidental expenses. In
tais way, the capital stock of the bu-
reau may be kept intact. When all
Of the county bureaus are federated
sssto State organization, there com
bined capital stock will be behind
really large movements, of a state
wide and worth while nature.
Another important point is, the
bureau must recognize every phase OF
home and community life. Any or
ganization that seeks to promote the

In every part of the world a Mt
tie bit of green is being worn today
and more attention is focused on
Ireland at this present moment than
at any time in her long and event
full history. Ireland's history is
more familiar to the outside world
and her plea for freedom since the
war has won her many friends in
every land who recognize her claims
for justice. The cry for freedom of
all small nations was a solemn
promise made by England and all
of the Allied nations when the great
war was on, and that promise has
been fulfilled in every instance with
the exception of Ireland. The sons
and daughters of Erin in every part
of the globe shed their blood and
gave of their means for the fight for
freedom of all small nations and
they were inspired with the thought
that Ireland was included in that
list. Since the war Ireland has not
only been denied that promised
freedom and justice, but today she
is undergoing murderous peresecu-
ton and tyranny unequalled by any
similar case in the worlds history,
and England, her prosecutor, is pur-
suing a barbarous and criminal con-
quest that will compare with the
savagery of the most illiterate and
uncivilized nation in history. Men,
women and children are shot in cold
blood. homes are burned, towns and
industries destroyed and the hypo-
critical British leaders who pro-
fessed to weep over Belgiums
wrongs are responsible for these
horrors. The sufferings and trials
in ireland today are acute and peo-
pie of all classes are responding to
the appeal for aid. Women and
children are dying for want OF the
bare necessities of life and relief
| for them must come quickly. In
Louisville today the feast of st. Pat
rick will be celebrated with an eff
fort to raise money for the relief OF
destitute Ireland, and a sacred con-
cert will be given under the aus
pices of the choir at St. Patrick's
church, Thirteenth and Market, this
evening, with an address by Rev.
John T. O'Connor, pastor of Holy
Name church. The soloists will be

JUBILEE AT BELFAST.

Archdeacon Convery, v. c., Of st.
Paups church, Belfast, who with
Bishop MacRory Is directing the
distribution of the American relief
fund among 'the expelled Belfast
workers and sufferers in the Diocese
of Down and Conner. has just cell
ebrated his golden jubilee. He was
presented with an Illuminated adj
dress by the Council of the st. Vim
cent de Paul Society OF Down and
Conner and the Ladies' Association
Of Charity. The Archdeacon has
been an outstanding figure in the &c
clesastical and political life of the
diocese for half a century and has
during that time rendered eminent
services to Church and country.
Since his ordination fifty years ago
he has spent all his time. with the
exception of ten years, in Belfast.
In the year 1874 wien he was ap-
pointed curate to st. Joseph's the
parish church was a disused grain
store. Four years later, after be
had become parish priest, he had
the satisfaction of starting and
bringing to completion splendid
now church. He was responsible
also for the erection of other
churches and of a number of
schools. "The enemies OF our peo-
ple." he says, "hate the school more
than the church: and it is our
bounden duty to hold fast by our
schools and to see that the chill
dren of our people are thoroughly
grounded in the teachings of their
religion" In thanking the bodies
from whom he received the con-
,gratulatory address he paid high
tribute to the fervor of Belfast
Catholics and to the generosity with
which they had supported the Prop
agation of the Faith and foreign
missions, notably those to Nigeria
and China.
