is 1T HEATHFIELD2

The fact that our colonial ances-
tors were quite Indifferent to what
seemed to them the unimportant
matter of spelling is made obvious
again in old family records where
the same name is sometimes spelled
in three OF four different ways IN the
course of one document. No wonder
that we sometimes have difficulty in
tracing connections between various
families of similarly spelled names,
and even greater difficulty in dlscov-
ering the original source of the
name.
There is a family OF Heathfleld
here that we might suppose to have
originated from some place named
Heathfield in England. But the fact
is that IN old records the name is
as often spelled Hetfield or Hat
field as Heathfield. Sometimes we
find Hatfield and sometimes Hett-
field, while such variations as
are not surprising.

boil weevil or quit trying to raise cot
ton. Believing Mr.. Hendrix experience
will be of benefit to the farmers Of
this section, we take pleasure in print
ing it here.
May %, 1922.
Editor Marietta Journal:
81 began to make war on the boil
weevil on May Is, last, just eight days
ago, since which time | have killed
between 800 and 1000 weevils with
calcium of arsenate. I have conduct
ed a test to ascertain the most effective
way and at the same time the most
economical way of applying calcium
and l recommend a formula about as
follows:
Take 10 pounds of calcium, two gal
Ions Of sorghum syrup, or, four gallons
of thin molasses, two or three boxes of
ice powder and mix this with Is or 20
gallons Of hot water. Use an ordinary
barrel to mix it in and it will keep for
Is or 20 days The ice cream powder
may be eliminated if inconvenient to
obtain. My reason for using it is that
it makes the mixture stick to the cot
ton plant better.
To apply this mixture to the cotton
plant use thread mop or cloth mop
can be very easily made by taking a
stick some three or four feet long
and fastening the thread or cloth to
one end. If cloth is used in making
the mop when the cloth is securely
fastened to the stick take a pocket
knife and strip the cloth into small
strips. This makes an excellent mop
to apply the mixture. BY taking a
bucket full of the mixture in one hand
and the mop in the other the mixture
can be applied to the plant about as
fast as one cares to walk along the
cotton row. When the cotton is small
just drop or two of the mixture to
Cheraw chronicle. [volume] (Cheraw, S.C.) 1896-2005, 1922-06-08

each stalk is sufficient. TIE cost when
applied as outlined Is only about 221a
cents per acre. OF course as the cot
ton grows larger more of the mixture
will have to be applied, and therefore
the cost will be proportionately In
creased, but the cost at no time will
exceed As to so cents per acre.
A small quantity of this may be mix
ed about as follows: Take two table
spoon fulls of calcium, two Of sorghum
and mix in about quart Of hot watr-
er. AS an experiment l mixed up
about a quart Of this mixture and Dip
ped into it some six or eight small cot
ton plants, then placed the plants in
jar in which there were $50 live
weevils. In ten hours after palcing
the cotton plants in the jar with the
weevils they were all dead.
The calcium may also be used in
powdered form instead Of made into
a liquid as above outlined. An eco
nomical way to apply the calcium in
powdered form to the cotton plant is
to take an old fashioned guano horn
and tie a piece of cheese cloth over the
large end. The calcium is then placed
into the horn and may be busted
through the cheese cloth onto the cot
ton plant. The dusting must be done
late in the afternoon for it to be eff
fective. When the plant becomes lar
ger a busting machine made for the
purpose will be necessary in order
to properly apply the calcium in pow
dered form.
In order to encourage my tenants,
as we'll as to destroy the weevils,
am paying one cent each for all the
weevils caught on my farm. To date
we have caught between 1900 and l.
500 weevils and we haven't been over
one time yet.
am of the opinion that il We sue

ceed in making any cotton here this
year we must fight the weeyil in every
known way, and by every known meth
cd. There Is no use for one to throw
away his fertilizer, his time and labor,
the labor of his stock and the incl
dental expense of making crop of
cotton, when, by adding little more
time, labor and a small amount Of
money one can make reasonable
aomunt of cotton. Unless one plants
cotton with the expectation and in
tention Of fighting the weevil it would
be better to leave the cotton implanted
and cultivate the land in some other
crop. The weevil is here in large
numbers and there is no question that
he will utterly destroy the cotton crop
unless some steps are taken to COM
bat him. Let's put on our fighting togs
and make a crop in spite Of him.
