that has been made which failed to
result in killing a high per cent. Of
the weevils on the treated cotton
Il believe that if every farmer will
make an application of the calcium
arsenate- nnolasses mixture this week
he will make great deal more cotton
than otherwise. Weevils are already
puncturing the forms on the old cot
ton and these should be carefully
picked up. Additional applications of
the molasses mixture should be ap-
piled at least once per week and oft
ener if washed off by rain.
"Take two pounds of calcium arese-
nate, mix thoroughly with half gal
lon of warm water and then add one
gallon Of molasses 1.-THE cheapest black
strap is best), applying to the cotton
with a mop. A drop or two in the
bud of each blant is sufficient. A
very small quantity appears to be as
effective as a large quantity. The
main thing is to get it on at once and
get it properly distributed. After the
cotton is two or three feet tall mix
ture of two and one-half gallons of
molasses, seven and one-half gallons
Of water and 10 pounds of arsenate
may be applied with a spray pump.
We got good results with this mixture
last year, using an orchard spray
pump with five nozzles, easily COW
ering 40 acres day.
For some reason the extension bu-
reau is not recommending the use of
the calcium e-molasses mix
ture in fighting the weevil, although
a circular issued by B. r. Coad, of the
Tallulah laboratory and dated July
6, 1921, shows this method to be a most
effective means of early season con-
troll under certain conditions, and al
though the busting method recon-
mended by them produced most dis
astrous results in some Instances in
this section last year. In view of
the abundant evidence of the effect

of the fact that its use involves an

by any tenant farmer, / can not I'M
derstand their attitude, which is still
more difficult for me to understand be-
cause the busting method recon-
mended by them involves a cost of

with the evidence at hand, | think
it probable that if the calcium arse

The Boil WceOl Can Be Conquered

Maj. d. R. Coker, Of Huntsville, S.
c., sends very interesting communi-
cation regarding his experiments and
treatments in DISCRIMINATING the boil
weevil in his state to the Commerce
and Finance, a publication published
in New York City, and which was re-
printed in the Commercial Appeal of
Saturday. We are taking the priyi-
lege Of publishing Maj. Coker's article
for the benefit Of Upton county
farmers since the weevil has unques-
tionably invaded this section and our
farmers will be compelled to make
an effort to combat its destructive
ness sooner or later.
For these reasons we attach great
Importance to Maj Coker's announce
ment that the boil weevil is conquer
able and has been conquered, and we
hope that the news of his success will
be Of benefit to Upton county farm
ers. AS a planter he has not only
succeeded himself, but has helped
many others to succeed.
Maj Coker's communication refer
red to above as printed in the Com
merce and Finance and the CONNER
cial Appeal is given herewith in full,
which is as follows:
"As boil weevils are now reported
in greater or less quantities on nearly
every farm in the state, and, as the
weather thus far has been ideal for
their propagation, it's looks as if there
is small chance of producing fair
cotton crop unless some cheap and eff
fective method is checking them is
found and put into effect immedi-
ately.
Il have heretofore recommended
that the farmers experiment with a
mixture of calcium arsenate and mo-
lasses, having both experienced and
heard Of good results from this treat
ment and knowing that the expense
of the use of this mixture is so small
that failure to secure results would
not mean heavy loss.

John M. Morrison
Dies Suddenly

The sudden death of Mr. John M,
Morrison, Al years of age, at his home
on East Liberty avenue early Tuesday
morning, was a shock to Covington
and community. The night before
Mr.. Morrison retired apparently in
good health, but early the following
morning he became violently i'll, sup
posedly from heart trouble, and ex-
pired before medical aid reached his
bedside.
The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon at o'clock in the "A. R. P,
church, Rev. w. G. Kerr conducting
the services in the presence of a
large gathering of friends and rela-
tives. Interment followed in Mum
ford cemetery.
Mr.. Morrison was born October IA,
1881, at Brighton, this county. On
December Is, 1903, he was married
to Miss Maggie McFerrin. In 1904
he moved to Covington and had lived
here continuously since that time.
Early in life he connected himself
with the Richland A. R. P. church,
transferring his membership to the
CovingtOn church directly after his
removal to this city. He was one of
the leading laymen of the local
church, being deacon at the time of
his death, His loyalty and faithful
ness to his church and Christian duty
was exemplary. Uprightness, hon
esty and integrity were his moral
virtues.
Mr.. Morrison was a prominent
business man of this city. For a
number of years he was large stock
holder in the Covington Manu-
featuring & Auto Co., and a
member of the board of directors. AT
the beginning Of the current year he
sold his interest in the above men
tioFed firm and organized Morrison
Brothers Machine. Shop, being the
manager of that firm at the time Of
his death.
Mr. Morrison's untimely death in
the midst of most promising bust
ness career is sincerely regretted by
his many friends and associates here.
Mr.. Morrison is survived by his
wife, Mrs. Maggie Morrison; his
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
Archie Morrison, Of this city; six
sisters, Mrs. AlYa Rankin, Of Mem
phis; Mrs. Ella Jameson, Of Mem
nhis; Mrs. Mary Gee, of Dallas, Tex. !;
Mrs. Katherine Moore, of Brighton;

TRADE DAY ON MONDAY

Upton county's next Trade Day
will be held Monday, July 8, instead
Of the last Wednesday in June. Those
interested in Trade Day activities be-
lieve the first Monday in every month
will be more opportune and conven-
lent to all parties concerned than the
last Wednesday.
More than 80 merchants have
agreed to reduce prices on countless
articles AS will be noted in full
cage advertisement elsewhere in this
paper, prices have been cut un-
sparingly, and on some articles a
reduction of so to rs per cent. will be
made to visitors here on Trade Day.
There will doubtless be opportunities
to save money on everything you
need to buy.
The highest market prices will be
paid for poultry, eggs, vegetables
and other farm products the farmer
may have to offer for sale. A buyer
can be found easily on Trade Day for
almost any produce imaginable. Bring
everything you have to sell, trade or
exchange.
Trade Day is a real opportunity for
everybody. In most county seats,
where the people are more familiar
with its advantages than in Coving-
ton and Upton county, it is the "Red
Letter Day" of every month in the
year, and is always a welcome event
to the people as whole.
Get the habit. Come to town on
Trade Day and investigate for your
self.
