pant. This form of poison is opposed
by every agricultural agency, both
government and state.
The boil weevil trap manufacturers
are doing a thriving business, not in
regions where they sold their con-
.trivances last year but in new fields
where they are not so we'll known.
If there we're some way by which
second hand weevil traps-almost
new-could be sent to farmers who
can't resist buying them, there would
be a greater supply Of second hand
machines than the demand could pos
sibly be.
The best means for killing boil
weevils is calcium %arsenate applied as
a dust to the cotton plants. The first
application can be made by a cheese
cloth bag, perforated can or other i'm
elements. This first application
should be made before the squares
are big enough for the weevil to lay
eggs in. This one application is to
kill the boil weevils before they can
breed.
When the squares form and the
weevils have their first chance to do
real damage, the poison must be put
on by special machines designed for
the purpose and it must be put on in
strict accordance with government
recommendations. If this is done the
weevils can be controlled so that a
full crop of cotton a be made, but
if poison is not going to be applied
with machines and according to ap-
proved methods, let it alone and go
to gathering and destroying the dam
aged squares which will help to some
extent in holding the pest in check.

MANY DEVICES
TO FOOL FARMERS
None Recommended By Govern
ment Experts After Trials.
Planters Should Beware.
(By C. A. White, Soil Improvement
Committee

Committee.)
Georgia and South Carolina farm
ers in great numbers are being taken
in bv the man with a new machine
or a new method of fighting the boil
weevil. Reports of big business done
bv these concerns are being receiv-
ed.
Some people will never accept free
information. They have to pay for it.
Thew must be stung before they can
believe.
It is out of no sympathy for this
class that we again sound a note OF
warning, but for those who may be
short on information, who realize
it and want to learn what to do.
1t seems that the man with the IL
quid spray machine is abroad in the
land. Yes, they use calcium a~rsenate,
and their machine makes it unnec-
essary to work at night, or in the
dew, SO they say.
Let it be stated here as emphatic
ally as we can, that no liquid spray
lis recommended by the government
experts who have tried it, o by any
state e~ntomologist, nor by any agri-
cultural college experiment station,
nor by any disinterested agricultural
agency.
The exploiters of liquid sprays that
we have met do not know even the
irst principles of poisoning the boil
weevil. They apparently overlook the
TACT that soluble arsenic will destroy
cotton, that arsenic only in the cal
eium combination prescribed by the
government is harmless to cotton
while harmful to the weevil, and that
he right kind of calcium arsenate
s not soluble in water.
In fact, the calcium arsenate is a
chemical combination designed to re-
main in suspension and not go into
solution. That very property makes
t settle in water, which adds to the
difficulties of making an effective IL
uid spray.
Even if there were an effective way
f keeping the calcium arsenate thor
ughly mixed with water, no practical
method has been devised for cover
cg all the cotton plant with a liquid
eating and thus have poison on eve
v part of it, as is the case when a
lust poison is applied.
Government experts have tried all
orts of methods for making a liquid
olson without success. Would it not
e a good idea before trying a liquid
olson machine to have it tried or
assed upon by the government ex-
erts who have nothing to gain or
use by reporting the facts about it?
Not all liquid spray advocates are
recommending a calcium arsenate
fixture. Some are selling kerosene
oncoctions. Such connections mean
othing to the boil weevil, but they
lean something to the cotton plant
scalded and damaged leaves.
The poison sweets man is still ram

THE ARMY

President Harding is apparently de-
termined that Congress will make
consistent provision for carrying out
It's national defense act by appro-
priating a SUFFICIENT sum with which
to give that act at least the sem
blance Of reality.
In recent letter to Chairman
Warren OF the Senate appropriation
committee the President declared the
present no time to make further re-
ductions in the United States forces;
that through lack of funds the Ma
tional Guard, organized reserves and
other components Of citizen army
will be impaired.
Referring to the training OF linz
tied number of reserve officers. the
President regretted there was not
more liberal provision made Tor
giving them training than was oner-
ed even in the Senate amendments,
for. as he AYERS. the government has
thus far done nothing to encourage
them in their voluntary services
Citing as of utmost Importance the
development of our national defense
system under the national defense
act, Mr.. Harding expressed the pc
lief that the allowances maze v!
the Senate represent the minimum
under which the most conservative
and modest program of development
is possible.
A significant note OF warning IN
the letter to Chairman Warren was
the statement that, although tne
President thought the day, might
come when the Army and military
forces generally could be further re-
duced. "wes must await fuller re-
adjustment and more stable condi-
tions." What Mr.. Harding had IN
mind when he urged a more liberal
policy of appropriations for the ma
tional defense can only be a con-
lecture. 1t is possible that the pres
ent mission abroad of the deputy
chief Of staff. Maj. Gen. Harbord. de-
tered the return of all our troops
from Germany as scheduled for July !.
We know that officers OF the Mex
can army are inspecting our mil
tary colleges with a view, as they
say, of greatly increasing the out
put of their officer schools. We are
also aware that conditions In many
parts of the world are yet lar from
normal.
1t would be interesting te know the
motif which inspired President Haro-
ing to stress in his letter to Chair-
man Warren that the development
of our national defense system unoer
the national defense act Is Of utmost
importance
