discovered. It is expected that the
demand for calcium arsenate in
1928 will be fully 25,000,000
pounds. In this connection, it is
noted that the pending tariff bill in
congress provides a protective
duty on imported raw arsenic OF
25 cents per pound, which, added
to. the increasing demand in the
cotton belt. will greatly advance
prices to the farmers unless pro-
tective cooperation is given by the
federal and state governments be-
fore another crop is planted.
4'The total amount of calcium
arsenate used throughoYt the en-
tire cotton belt this year is not suf-
ficient to properly treat one-third
/ of the cotton area planted in
South Carolina alone. It is quite
evident, therefore, that unless the
weather is dry and hot sunshine
prevails over the cotton belt dur
ing July and August there is no
possible hope to check the destruc-
tive ravages of the weevil.
After more than a. year of per-
sistent efforts by the American
Cotton Association, the outlook is
now most favorable to secure re-
liable data on the stocks and grades
of cotton held in storage at stated
periods each year.
Senator VIM. j.. Harris, OF
Georgia. has introduced a bill in
the senate authorizing the census
bureau to count the tendetable and
untenderable grades of cotton held
in the United States and to as
certain the same information rela-
tive to cotton supplies in foreign
countries through the cooperation
of American censnis and other
agencies. This information will
be gathered and published on Sep
tember /. December. and March
1 of each year. Secretary Hoover
OF the department Of commerce,
and Director Stewart, Of the cen
sus bureau. have given definite ap-
prevail to the bill, which will doubt
less be enacted into law in the
near future. Cotton growers will
be informed each year as to the
supplies of raw cotton on hand
|. throughout the world so. assto bet
ter regulate the acreage to be
planted in the spring. and similar
information on September l will
determine the best methods Of mar
keting. Furthermore, the cotton
exchanges will be restricted to. the
supplies of tenderable cotton or
futures contracts. instead of count.
ing all kinds of cotton in the sup
plies. as has been the custom here
tofore.
.1n view of the great uncertainty
as to the correct cotton acreage
planted, due to the many revisions
of the acreage last year, and the
vide discrepancy in the July and
December acreage statistics. of 1921,
congress is being urged to appro-
pirate funds and authorize the cen
slls bureau to take a census Of the
cotton acreage planted in 1922, and
to provide for such census every
five years hereafter

TREATY WITH

Old Agreement May Be Re
vised in Some Respects

Washington, July PA pro-
posa1 that the century old agree

and Canada regarding the military
and naval defenses to be maintain
ed on the international border be
revised in permanent form and IN
line with the agreements reached
at the Washington arms limitation
conference was the chief mission
here today of w. L. Mckenzie
King. prime minister Of Canada, to
confer with Secretary Hughes. a
new treaty modernizins the Rush
Bagot agreement probably will be
negotiated between the two ceun-
tries.
The agreement. which the pro-
posed ne wtreaty, would modern
ize. was proclaimed by President
Monroe in 1918 after having been
ratified by the senate. It thus had
all the force of an international
convention, although not drawn. in
the form of a treaty.
This understanding was negotiat-
ed by Charles Baget, British min
ister 10 Washington, and Richard
Rush, acting secretary of state. It
is in the form of letters exchanged
between the negotiators on April
% and %, 1919, and provides
that:
The naval force to be maintained
shall be confined to the following
vessels on each side:
On Lake Ontario to one vessel
not exceeding 100 tons burden and
armed with one Is pound cannon.
On the upper lakes to two yes
sells not exceeding like burden
each and armed with like force.
On the waters of Lake Cham
plain, to one vessel not exceeding
like burden and armed with like
force.
All other armed vessels on these
lakes shall be forthwith dismantled
and no other vessel of war shall be
there built or armed.
If either party should be hereaf-
teI oes1TOuS VI dHHuiiihS Ills SIP
ulation and should give notice to
that effect to the other party, it
shall cease to be binding after the
expiration of six months from the
date Of such notice.
The naval force SO to be limited
shall be restricted to such service
as will, in no respect, interfere
with the proper duties of the arm
ed vessels of the other party.
The document is held to stand
as the only forerunner in history
of the naval limitation agreements
reached in the recent Washington
treaty and has stood the test of
years without being challenged
