About year and half ago I had
a terrible attack of influenza which
left me in very weak and run down

to enjoy meal. and | had hack

nights so l just couldn't regain my
strength.
MY nerves got me in such a con-
dition at times that | couldn't do any
thing but pace the floor for hours, and
any time just the least excitement
would completely upset me-
well, l tried everything l could
hear of in my efforts to get my health
back so I could enjoy life, but moth

Controlling The
Boil Weevil

on have read great numbers of
articles by eminent business men on
reduction OF cotton acreage and bros
pective prices for 1921 and by cotton
experts on the cultivation and control
of the Boil Weevil by poisoning with
Calcium Arsenate.
Whatever your conclusions, drawn
from these expert advisers, the vital
problem remaining is whether you can
afford to control the boil weevil by
poisoning or whether you can afford
not to use poison.
The State Board of Entomology has
gotten out bulletin No. SO, showing
that where poison is properly applied,
using the busting method, enough
more cotton has been raised to cover
the cost of power machine, the cost
OF the calcium and the cost of the
labor necessary to apply it. And
enough more seed have also been OBJ
tanned to materially add to the grow
ers income
U. S. Department of Agriculture
Bulletin No. 162 by Prof B. R. Coad
and t. P. Cassidy shows that by using
the Cart type buster and Calcium Ar
senate of a government standard,
poisoning to control the boil weevil
will pay, provided it is put on at the
right time and in the proper way.
The State Board of Entomology rec
ommends that If there is heavy in
festation of the boil weevil, the cottor
should be busted early in the season,
at least once and probably twice, just
before the squares become large
enough to be punctured by the weevi1.
The State College of Agriculture at
Athens a1s3 has published bulletins
covering e2t periments on this subject,
Any one interested will be furnished
copes of tt ese bulletins by the South
ern Brokerage Company.
The fact that the Niagara Spraye1
Company's Cart Type Machine meets
the two vital necessities for controlling
the boil weevil, being the right type OF
busting machine and using the govern
ment standard of calciul IN arsenate. has
| secured the Endorsement of both the
State College of Agriculture and the
State Board of Entomology. The ma
chine has a capacity for the control OF
the boil weevil on 100 acres.
The Southern Brokerage Company
of Fort Valley, Georgia, has the ma
chimes and the materials in stock and
is in position to sell them at such
prices and on such terms as will en-
able you to buy them and PROFIT
ABLY use them.
1t has always been the policy O.
the Southern Brokerage Company to
work with the farmer and planter If
every way that it can, especially
through the State Board and County
Agents.

Busting Machines are not excelled.
Write this concern at Fort Valley
Georgia for full particulars, as some
of last years experiments show that
there was difference of about five
cents (5) per pound between the cost
of raising busted and undusted cot
ton, in favor of the busted cotton.
